[B-Train]

Finefeuiaki is a good pick up for the Dolphins..

Sanders will be a great buy for Canberra. He wouldn't have cost a tonne and could be a long term starter in the halves for them. Although Sanders and Strange are both 5/8ths and Fogarty is their only halfback so it will be interesting to see where they play those guys. Strange might have to move to the centres..

 

[wendog33]

Thought that we could make one topic for all NRL player movement for 2025.

Jarome Luai = Tigers
Sunia Turuva = Tigers
James Fisher-Harris = Warriors
Addin Fonua-Blake = Sharks
Kulikefu Finefeuiaki = Dolphins
Junior Tupou = Dolphins
Zac Lomax = Eels
Karl Lawton = Cowyboys
Ethan Sanders = Raiders
Jett Cleary = Warriors
Joseph Manu = Rugby
Joseph Suaalii = Rugby

Where's ours?

 

[Ewan McGrady]

Where's ours?

Don’t need any…

 

[Freakzilla]

Lewis Dodd to join Souths.

 

[Baby Blues]

Where is Jett Cleary actually playing? I haven't seen him named in Panthers lower grade squads?

 

[CMP]

Where's ours?

I think unless an option for a quality game managing 7 comes along I think things will be a bit quiet for the dogs this offseason.

I think upgrading some contracts and promoting from within will be us moving forward.

I still hope we go and find a couple of cheap no nonsense big bodied props. These two are both of contract. Don’t get much game time that would definitely provide some better size and competition for spots.

How about Xavier Willison from Broncos

Panthers SG Ball

Not that contracts mean much these days. But Williston is under contract for another year

 

[Cook]

That’s an impressive list of current players moving onto new clubs. Tigers will be much improved if can hang onto there pack

Tigers have turned a huge corner with their Recruitment and Retention. Their Spine next year looks perfect.
Two experienced top shelf quality with two young guns ready to explode.

 

[Freakzilla]

Broncos have signed Jack Gosiewski for the rest of this season & 2025.

 

[Freakzilla]

Aaron Schoupp has joined Manly effective immediately.

 

[Mitch Connor]

Crichton hasn’t signed with Rugby. JWH is going to Hull KR, not retiring. Myles Martin has left Newy and signed with Canberra.

 

[Freakzilla]

Warrington backrower Matty Nicholson has signed with the Raiders.

 

[Freakzilla]

Asu Kepaoa has joined the Panthers effective immediately.

Talented player who needs to probably just concentrate on one position.

 

[Freakzilla]

Wallaby Fly-Half Carter Gordon has signed with the Titans.

 

[LeeroyJenkins]

Wallaby Fly-Half Carter Gordon has signed with the Titans.

Is he a good signing?

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Is he a good signing?

Well he plays for the Wallabies so, probably not
