I'm sure we will get a few big names.
My only concern is that the player managers know how much we have to throw around and will talk players into inflating their worth.
It will cause not just us but every other team to offer overs, all they care about is their 6% cut.

[theGman]

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.

R6,
Poor Dylan is deluded if he's hanging around that club aiming to break the drought. Different story if he moves on to a development club like ours.

[Lydon]

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.

Yes,fair point Gman..

Question is would Parra have let Ethan Sanders go to Canberra if they weren’t confident of keeping Brown and Moses.

Interesting times ahead.

Dylan holds the balance of power there and we're not privy to what get out clauses he may have in his contract.
Here's hoping.

[Bondicigar]

How old is Cameron Munster?

[Thirteen]

They all say that when they re-sign.

[ism22]

Give Fergaaaaaaaw a call and see if Duges is keen to join him for 2025

[Qld Chook]

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

This would be the perfect scenario.

We need an x factor back with versatility and a big bodied 5/8 with a long boot. Not many other players out there that tick these boxes. Anyone in the super league worth a look?

He needs a longer contract if that’s the case.

And then I could put on my best QLD bogan voice while yelling out 'gaaaaaw Cobbaaaaaaaaaw!!!'

[Kelby]

Dylan Brown.
GET HIM

He has shown that without Moses he offers little.



Pointless having Walker and Brown in the halves.

Yeah who says we've gotta punt Sandon anyway?

[Kelby]

How do you want the club to spend it. Upgrade who? Go after who?

I am thinking the same. A lot of that 3.5m will disappear just re-signing people we already have that were expected to leave.

Give Walker and Sandon Smith big upgrades next year so that we can pay them a bit less thereafter.

Maybe someone like Reimis Smith who can play left centre or left wing, and has the skills to fool the bunker ref as a spoiler.

[King Salvo]

Develop and promote internally and only go to market if a suitable player becomes available to fill a position they are short in.

You want to create a seamless pathway from Junior Reps to NRL and NRLW that will attract the best junior talent who can be developed and provided with the opportunity to play at the highest level.

There is no reason why the Roosters cannot match the Panthers in Junior player development especially with their Academies ( Sydney Roosters . Central Coast Roosters and Roosters NZ Academies ) and partnerships with the Central Coast , Ipswich and Silktails.
