2026 recruitment & retention

[Disco]

HE IS THE ONE!!!

Obviously for 27 but take that exta cash from Jake and Tom and get Tino. A fantastic player and a leader, just what we need.

My money is that he will go to the Eels or the Tigers. Id be very surprised if he went to Manly.

Definitely prefer him to Klemmer, but we need some alpha male forwards for next year - I have not been a fan of Lodge but would be happy to sign him for 26 on moderate $$ as one prop, maybe Kylan Mafoa should be re-signed if not already - a complete contracted player list from the club would be nice, please 🙏

or Perth

Id say Perth is the more likely place than what i mentioned.

Apparently Bears going at 1.5mil for 5 years.

Obvs wouldnt match that but would be putying out hats in the ring

So Sipley, Lodge, Aloiai, Tevaga, DCE, GCKT, Schoupp, maybe Croker, and probably another that I've forgotten, all leaving now by the looks of things.

Who on earth is replacing them? Far out that's a lot of NRL players down the drain. I'm not saying I don't like it, but he have signed literally nobody besides Fogarty.

Readymade replacements all suited up ready to go...

is Talau being re-signed?

We are letting these forwards go as they don’t fit the current playing style needed. We can’t play uptempo finals footy with big lumbering props with no variation in their game.
This show that the club is very aware of what needs to improve to compete again.
1st step, offload the players that contribute to our problems.

Report about a week back that he is close to a 1 year extension

I would have been happy to offer him a one year contract at $275 k, going by his last three games

He's a plodder. He has a hairpiece that is embarrassing and that's before he stirs up the opposition pack and is smashed in front of the opposition supporters who take great delight in shaming our fans. It happened again the other night; he got stuck into the verbal and argy bargy and was put on his arse and the entire Canberra Stadium was in raptures. He's brought so much embarrassment to this club...please, not another season of it.

Yeah, actually pretty much how I felt from the day we signed him, I guess my comments reflect the dire predicament we find our beloved club in.

 

[Disco]

Lodge flatters to deceive, couple of good charges and some argy bargy near contract time but generally offers little.

Time to move on

The old school 2nd rower is the new modern day prop.

You're right that is a decent turnover. Though Schoupp might get another run?
The club surely has specific plans for replacements.
Or otherwise they wouldn't be letting 'talent' go in these difficult times with new franchises about to make recruitment doubly difficult.
Jake to prop is one obvious one. Although his health must now be under a cloud, sadly.

We have @Bomb Voyage saying that we can expect some signing news this week, and @Hertera saying that it's certainly not Klemmer, so that's something.

Mooney is the most logical.

That means it must be Josh Schuster.
