For me it’s
Signing Cobbo as 1st choice centre (can play wing & fullback) & Burton as 5/8
Re-sign Crighton & Brandon Smith
keep the rest of the money on Manu’s return next season
welcome back Suaali 2027

Souffs told Ilias he can look for another club today. They would LOL@US if we took him off their hands.

Only Souffs player I would take is Murray to take a bench spot IF Gussy leaves.

How about Campbell Graham?

[Bates]

I suspect Tedesco will retire end of next season. He’s losing a step, and much like cordner, friendy and keary, the concussions are starting to pile up; as well as a potential Manu/Suaalii return. As such, any signing should be looking at backline. I’d say re signing players like Sam, Gus, Toia, Whyte, Wong, Sandon, Moriarty will be where a fair chunk goes to. Throw in a mil for Manu and/or Suaalii. This would leave us with something like a mil left. I’d look at Cobbo, Staggs, Mulitalo and Hopgood

Here he is. How's Flaming Batemans Bay Rooster going?

[Paddo Colt 61]

With Manu gone and Ted uncertain, Sualauvi Fa'alago from the Storm would be my pick. He's behind Pappy there. Dynamite from what I've seen.

[Chook2]

Other option if there is not much to buy that’s quality around pay a few guys early and stack the cap for 2026 on when there is the premium player to buy
that way you can out think the cap and have a few mil worth of talent under the cap

Melbourne signed him to a 5 year deal beginning of the season unfortunately.

[RoosterBooster]

great call, the trial against the Roosters a few years back he was amazing then

[Billy Gunn]

Buzz seems pretty certain that Manu will be back mid next year, so make sure that there is enough to keep him long term

Upgrade Walker, Brandon and Watson. I would extend Tupou for another year.

I would sign Isaiah Tass from the Bunnies and someone like Nick Cotric as another outside back for backup.

[theGman]

Dylan Brown.
GET HIM

I’d rather Sandon and Sammy mate..

[Crab]

I’d rather Sandon and Sammy mate..

That's true but think depth , cover for injuries .

[Chook2]

Nah he won’t suit with Sammy walker he is a similar player who wants to run the ball
would be like trying to get Wighton or someone
need more structured half
sandon should get the first track

[ConGa]

A 5/8 that compliment Walker? Hopefully Sandon will fill this gap
2 gun centres
A backup FB to Teddy

[theGman]

I’d rather Sandon and Sammy mate..

I respect your opinion but for mine, Dylan has proven his maturity, worth and class when playing at the elite level, for NZ. I rate him in the top 4 NRL five eights.
If he decides to jump ship then that lucky club will get at least 6-8 prime years out of him.

Dylan Brown.
GET HIM

Big fan but he has player options in his contract until 2031 and has only just recently spoke about how much he loves the club and wants to win a premiership there.
