Surely we are signing a big name forward

[Doge]

There aren’t any big name forwards available that’s why we are signing rejects on short deals. Gus is preparing for the rebuild that will happen in 2025-2026

If so it would have to be a poly boy, as they mostly all have big names.

we need mobile middles not slow moving dinosaurs.

Need both, even these days need one or two middles >110 Kgs. Cronulla, Manly, Canberra etc all those teams with bigger packs bashed us this year. Liam Knight types, 110Kgs, 6,3 and super fit is about the sweet spot. Would still be good to have at least 1 prop >115Kgs. our forwards were giving up 15-20Kgs to those types, just too much.

Yep agreed. Also he is waiting for the investment in pathways to start producing some NRL talent. Not sure how long this is going to take.

The Flegg side looks the goods so hopefully a few of them can aim up soon.

But we need to sign a big bopper under contract that a team will release, Klemmer left us while being under contract, Fonua Blake would be ideal

Yeah AFB hates playing finals football. Warriors can't stand him either. He's only one of the best forwards in the comp lol

we are so desperate for a quality prop that we are reliant of players breaking their contracts

 

[SexBomb]

We need more of pubs being thrown around as TPA enticement.

 

[Taylforth]

That is the Ciraldo/Gould plan - and it will take time. We have another 1-2 years of misery before the improvement starts to show.

Well Flegg and Matts seem to have talent coming through. This is how Gus will build our team in 2024-26.

 

[EL Hefe]

We need a big name utility forward

Vaughn and Hethrington SOS reunion

Yeah I don’t know anything about who’s who in the zoo but I don’t get why they were moved on

 

[SexBomb]

IIRC neither wanted to be here/didn't accept contracts.

Gotta exploit the forward situation going on at Canberra and get one possibly two from them

Mariota was a beast today. Off contract 2025. Add him with Lindsay Smith and Terrell May. Very unlikely we get anyone good/promising to break contract.
