    Kobe Hetherington

    I don't think Staggs (the rumour at the start of this year) was anything more than a rumour. With regards to Flelger, I believe the Dolphins swooped in, and offered him $900k. Unfortunately for Flelger, we were likely better off without him, for these past two years. Hope he can return to the...

    Heres a Positive - Good young players 2026

    I also think another positive for next year is how well Lehi Hopoate is developing. He'll bulk up some more during the off-season, and this can only help him. With Hoppa, it's the first time in a while that I still feel confident about our fullback position when Turbo is out. I think the sheer...

    Kobe Hetherington

    I think a better idea would be letting the Bears take Brooks and Garrick for 2027. This is also a matter of salary cap. Nothing against either of these players, but this way, you're able to slowly develop Walsh into a first grader over the coming year, and you don't jeopardise his development...

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Spudd isn't exactly a Rhodes Scholar, but I thought this article was bang on from him. We finished 12-12. One or two more wins, we would've made it. That's one DCE TV appearance away from the finals.

    Kobe Hetherington

    Careful about saying anything remotely positive about Seibold on here... Cue the wolves derailing this thread! Wouldn't surprise me though. It seems to me like the players have a good personal relationship with Seibold. He seems like a likeable guy from all the personal accounts I've heard of him.

    A bench of Walsh, Navale, Bullemor and Hetherington would be bloody awesome! Would have to be one of the most impactful benches in the comp. I think this is the way they're likely going too, which is excellent!!!

    Kobe Hetherington

    @Bomb Voyage Do you know why the original deal we offered to Hetherington fell through? I remember you and a few other sources talking about it several months ago. I don't mind at all the strategy of longer deals with lower per-year value. As long as it's not Saab... It's much better than the...

    Caleb Navale

    Apparently he's our lucky charm, best win rate player. 5/2 W/L with Navale in the team, 7/10 without. Using some perfect logic that is completely accurate, if he plays every game next year, we should finish 17-7 in the Top 4!

    2026 recruitment & retention

    That's from over a month ago. I would think it's not happening anymore, as the noise completely disappeared.

    Tommy Talau

    Even if they only did it under pressure, that's still the precedent, and they should do the same here. With regards to the contract offer. I don't think pulling it after he is injured is fair, and if this came to light within the general public, I don't think it would be accepted well at all...

    Tommy Talau

    If he was offered a handshake deal contract, then absolutely yes. Would be incredibly scummy if take away his contract offer because he was injured in a game playing for us. The first example is to present a precedent on two things. Firstly, offering a contract, and then retracting it because...

    Tommy Talau

    Doesn't have to be much, maybe a T&T or a supplementary spot. IMO the situation changed when Talau decided to leave. Also, I'm fairly certain the departing players list came before the game? Presumably that means we intended to give him another contract before the injury. Do we want to be a...

    Tommy Talau

    The Dragons put Volkman on the streets after they discovered he had suffered an injury at the Warriors prior to the 2024 season. They ripped up his contract, and were absolutely blasted for it. I believe they also had to pay him $40k in the end. Meanwhile, the Warriors, in similar circumstances...

    Tommy Talau

    If we don't help him, after he did his ACL in a game for us, absolutely no one will want to join our club for a very long time. We need to give him a contract, if we are of any hope of signing anyone important in 2027.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I keep seeing this $600k figure anywhere. He is not on $600k... Otherwise he would've made the DT Rich List over the past two years, which he didn't. I dont know how much he's on, but I feel he is worth ~450-500k. The problem is if the Bears offer more than that, and he's willing to uproot his...

    The Kieran Forum

    Foz talking about his career and his family on Fox post-game, made me feel much more, than I did at any point for DCE yesterday. It shouldn't be that way, but that's DCE's character for you. Such a great person Foran. As real as they come. Given what he went through, and how good he was upon...

    Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

    Given Croker is playing on (mind-boggling decision), I wouldn't mind seeing them get about a 30/50 split, in the way of Simpkin. Croker has some utility value, but I'd prefer him starting for his defensive tenacity. The problem with Croker is when he plays 80 minutes, which for whatever reason...

    Juniors Discussion Thread

    Yep, was in a little bit of a fit of rage when I wrote that. Recovering from an op and pain wasn't so good there. Funnily enough, when you're in a bunch of pain, the sugar hit of sacking everyone in the club, suddenly makes a lot of sense!

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Was in a different thread, but a reliable poster on here indicated that Talau rejected our offer. He wants to be a starter and is backing himself elsewhere.
