Aloiai Gone

[bob dylan]

Looks like he has played his last game.

Doesn't help us avoid the spoon or make the finals.

I would say they will now use the funds to retain, extend and upgrade the contracts for Jake, Tom and Waddell.

Give his cash to DCE so he can backflip? Yeah, nah.

Been on the way out with a revolving shoulder since 2024, this is a Big part of the search for a front rower and would be very happy with a couple of upgrades being approached.....fingers crossed.

Opens up exciting possibilities for our 2026 recruitment. I didn't mind Aloiai but he's missing too many matches so retirement might be the best thing for the squad anyway. I wonder if we can score anyone before June 30

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Shame it isn’t Lodge

 

[The Royal Soup]

plodder

 

[Nordburg]

Shame it isn’t Lodge

I’m worried that if the Aloiai situation unfolds,that Lodge will be upgraded and after his last performance,the only upgrade he deserves is to Ron Massey Cup

 

[XV-1]

Unwanted plodder props over the age of 30 are rubbing their hands.

Seibs and Mestrov will sign one of them to play by June 30.

I would say they will now use the funds to retain, extend and upgrade the contracts for Jake, Tom and Waddell.

And resign Vaega for a few more seasons to bolster our preseason trial games

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Time will tell
But management need to chase a young improving prop needed for this squad
that's going to be a challenge there is not a lot on offer have to get a player to break a contract which can happen

Stowers Smith from the Warriors is off contract. Also worth seeing if Trey Mooney is happy playing reserve grade.

Also Hassett from the Panthers for edge competition.

Also Steep and Liam Henry from Nov 1st for 27 then see about an early release.

 

[Phobia]

No one currently available is of Aloiai's calibre - which is frightening, but the likelihood is that someone will get shafted before June 30.

I'd prefer for the club to keep some of the cash free for next year, in case someone more promising pops up.

Mostly all good options. Not a fan of henry though. Stowers Smith would be a fantastic get. I think he has a big future

 

[Frogz]

Bet he gets medical retirement just after June 30. Cant replace him then, or can we???

 

[madmax]

Many will not agree but I think we’ll miss Aloiai more than a little. He started the year on fire & each time he’s played has been one of our best props. Sad that his career ends so soon but I wish him the best in his recovery. People need to applaud him & not bag him…..remember he was injured putting in for Manly!

 

[Ned]

All the best Oshay, thanks for your service.

I agree with trey mooney or Jesse coulquon from the Sharkie’s who is only getting game time as hazleton is out

Hard to applaud a homophobe

 

[Jimmie]

We should go after Whyte and mariota …both their contracts are up in 26 I think from memory
