2026 recruitment & retention

[One and only]

What juniors are coming through?

Oops, I forgot. Too hard for Spoonbold so zero juniors will be given a go.

That’s quite interesting actually last two season there has been no flegg players going through ! And it actually looking that there will be no players for nsw cup players around to fill a team ???
What players are left for cup now ??
Or Are they planning to have qld based team ???
Current recruitment and departures indicates no nsw cup team !!

I am sure it made sense in your head

Sorry what?

Agreeing with you that there has been no juniors coming through ! And stating that the players coming and going seems not enough to fulfil a nsw cup team !
It would be perfect situation to ditch the nsw cup team as they tried with couple years ago and amalgamate to a Queensland club team

Not agreeing with me I dont think.

We will most certainly have a NSW Cup team, no drama there.

We have had a young of lean seasons young talent wise but this year we saw a good few progress from Flegg to NSW Cup such as Laifai, Walsh, Hart, Zaidas.

Yea best to leave that subject agreeing !

Regarding nsw cup sit back and watch this space !

Those names did not come from flegg they were bought in for sg ball and straight to development contracts etc and now progressing to top 30 for 2026

So the fact they progressed from an even lower grade is a negative?

 

[robbiea]

Their cap is a mess

Not is they let Ponga walk.....

 

[manlyfan76]

Not is they let Ponga walk.....

Or brown,
Or both.

 

[Cliffycomeback]

Or brown,
Or both.

As if Brown is going to walk away from a 13 million dollar contract.

No not a negative thing at all ! Just stating a fact, good to see but will take some maturing and extra development ( which ****bolt and gentiles doesn’t like doing) into age group football to adults football with more skills.
Btw a pure example of this was when both were at broncos qld

You aren’t stating facts though as Laiafi has progressed through Harold Mathew’s, Ball, Flegg & now NSW Cup at manly. I’ve honestly got no idea what point you are trying to make but to state it as fact is already wrong

No point debating with yourself time will tell !
Laiafi in particular was bought in by Fulton’s not under gentiles and ****bolt!!
The recruitment currently time will tell there as well !

MANLY SECURE SOUTHS FORWARD​

Manly have landed a key piece in the player market by securing South Sydney young prop Davvy Moale to a long-term deal which could create some salary cap space for the Rabbitohs to accommodate David Fifita.

It is understood that Moale has agreed to a three-year contract to join Manly from 2027. He becomes the first player to sign with a new club for the 2027 season. Moale has 12 months left on his South Sydney contract but the Rabbitohs granted him permission to explore the open market before the November 1 transfer window opens. South Sydney had only recently re-signed him to a one-year contract.

The clubs may discuss the potential of having Moale’s exit fast-tracked before the 2026 season given he has decided his long-term future is elsewhere.
South Sydney want Fifita to join the club from the Titans next season but do not have the salary cap space to sign the Queensland forward. Moale’s potential exit – given he is on a deal worth about $500,000 – may free up some cash needed to allow the Rabbitohs to move on Fifita.

South Sydney are also open to Lewis Dodd leaving the club early with Dodd linked to Super League club Catalans. The Rabbitohs have indicated they are reluctant to move Moale on unless they have a replacement.

If Dodd and Moale go that would certainly create enough room for the Rabbitohs to land Fifita immediately with the Titans open to letting the back-rower go under new coach Josh Hannay.

The Sea Eagles have minimal cap space for next season and have been desperately looking to strengthen their forward pack after Josh Aloiai was forced to retire because of a shoulder injury. Hooker Lachlan Croker (concussion) is also uncertain to play again.

Moale’s season was ended by a wrist injury. He is just 22 but has already played 70 top grade games including 16 this year.

Meanwhile, the Sea Eagles remain locked in talks to lockdown star fullback Tom Trbojevic to a long-term deal. Manly are confident that Trbojevic will recommit to a new three year contract.
