no room for a spot in the first grade side for 2026 now that we have Zion and Thompson. Have a feeling raiders will end up signing him
disagree there is no room in the team for him.

maybe you should get your eyes checked...

King
Hughes
Thompson
Amone
Hayes
Todd
Zion
Underhill
Curran

where exactly would puhlu fit into the first grade side
Ummmm very few of those have a spot locked down tbh. I’d only say King, Curran and Thompson. Hughes also likely, but things change and I don’t see anyone being assured a spot.

Hey TT, you're our resident salary cap expert, where will Zyon fit in, presumably as a supplementary player ? But given how many we already have, is that possible?
It‘s impossible to say at this time. For the current year only 28 of the Top 30 players have to be registered with the NRL by the Monday prior to Round 1. The full 30 of the Top 30 players don’t have to be registered until 30 June.

Until those deadlines players registration can be moved between Train & Trial, Supplementary and Top 30. As long as the players agree of course.

So 2025 isn’t even locked in, let alone 2026, where we currently have 7 x Top 30 spots open plus up to 6 x Supplementary spots. I’m very confident that Gould wouldn’t be chasing a player for 2026 if he didn’t have a plan to fit them in.

Bullshit.

We have 10 players off contract for 2026 and we have signed 3 players for 2026 (that weren't already signed). With 5 of those 11 being forwards.


Team Work
Sutton gone drew hurtchinson gone Turpin gone those three will go

Sutton won’t get resigned
Hutchinson makes me vomit also a idiot
Turpin is a idiot
And the rest GUS will just let go save more money and when a big name player comes along maybe another Penrith player he will go for it
10
Players off contract that’s a lot of money to work with!!!




They may keep DSF
Kurt Mann will be resigned 100%
Wilson should get resigned unless parra offer bigger money but I don’t see Gus letting him go he is just very useful he can be a Tracey backup or who knows what GUS is thinking all I know is he wants a premiership like they all do and we all do…

There would absolutely be room if we signed Pahulu imo
I think he will be signed for next year aswell ciro will keep the team he sees fit and agile

I would love to have Liam Martin in our squad I would pay overs for him he has no problem putting his body on the line.. or maybe Brian t’oo we have Mitchell woods coming up so sorted with sexton and burton…

I feel the 17 we see will be long time dogs that’s for sure and GUS will resign kikau with out a shadow of a doubt. He is the best cap manager in the NRL
