We kinda don’t have GA after this year
Broncos will have brendan piakura playing second row next year and the storm will have josiah pahulu
Where’s Bula for the Tigers?
thats a little scary knowing that phins only have 1 player available to not be in the squad should sign some more players
Only someone who doesn’t watch the knights would have Niukore over Croker. Hunt will be centre as well. Sharpe and Brown are the halves
Same old side, if they do not make the top 5 in 27′ they should let go some players or sack Gould and maybe the coach. no pro0er half back is costing them direction.
Long term, plans not short term
Tians should relocate to Ipswich and rebrand themselves to Ippy Angels. (Ipswich)
Wheres Sam Mcintyre for the warriors? could he start 2nd row?
youve also got 2 kurt donoghoes for phins
Thanks for these Lachlan – we have made corrections.
That Cronulla squad is depressing, Fitzgibbon obviously received plenty of head knocks in his time, he keeps sticking with the same bunch of losers hoping to get lucky like my little brother a at blue light disco.
Like your work mate but a few updates
Phil Gould confirmed Pat Young is signed for another season
Christian Taupau Moors and Pheonix Godinet are on WT dev deals
Brian Pouniu is signed through to 2028
Jamie Humphreys has re-signed with Souths
The Eels confirmed Will Penisini is signed until 2028
Murray Taulagi and Viliami Vailea have both moved to union
Bailey Biondi Odo is on Wahs dev
Hi mate,
Most of these are speculation. Any that have been officially announced by a club have been updated.
