2026 recruitment & retention

[Buddy Love]

I dunno, I feel like he is pretty similar to haumole in a sense but no where near as effective. And i think the team needs something different on the other edge. More mobile

Well I'd be happy with him over Burbo haha

I got 1625 in the end but yeah some got over 1700. Wow biggest scores I've seen in SC. If I had Toia instead of billy Smith I win or close to it

I captained Gutho ahead of Hynes amd Cleary and had Toia, Jenkins and Egan on the pine.

Can't blame you Jenkins toia and Egan were disappointing last week. Last few weeks even. It's a funny old game. The guy I played had toia Jenkins and weekes on the bench 😅

Question. Do you think I should take a gamble on Ponga? Titans this week and longi has to go kept him too long. He's around 550k

Speaking of forwards and smart recruiting (sadly, not by us), how good is Erin Clark going for the Warriors? He may be the best Pasifika forward with a girl's name since our own Kylie Leuluai.

Not exactly young in NRL terms (I think he's 27 or so now), but leaving the Gold Coast has done wonders for him.

I agree, actually the warriors recruitment over the last few years has been overall very good, not just Clarke, Barnett, Niukore, Klokstad, Metcalf, Big Fish, even Capewell they’ve all been good for them, now they have some very promising youngsters coming through, exciting times ahead for the warriors fans, who go pretty good themselves.

I kept Ponga the whole way through his trot but I'm having my worst season ever.

Usually top 5k, best of 560ish.

This season outside the top 50k atm.

I'd go Ponga though, he'll never be that cheap again IMO

Maybe we could get back Marty Taupau and Jack Gosiewski. The Broncos have finally seen the light and unloading them at end of year. Just the sort of dumb recruitment we'd do.

Come on Mick, every team needs a 3rd man in the tackle specialst like Marty T .

Remember when Marty started sharing Instagram posts about not getting the ball, I don’t think we will see him come back.

I also never understood why he branded himself Marty “Kapow” then came out and said the way everyone was pronouncing “Tapau” was wrong 😂

Sipley leaving at the end of the year might free up a little money from the salary cap but it doesn’t open the door for a new signing as he is essentially being replaced in the top 30 by the Australian schoolboys prop playing Jersey Flegg Simione Laifai.

 

[KNUCKLES]

We should sign tanner stower smith from the warriors. Regularly 18th man in their line up. Off contract, and suits the modern game. Will be a good lock forward in the near future i reckon. Extend bullemor and start him at prop. Extend tevaga on a year to year basis. Til tanner is ready full time. Sorry Jake, left right out

Yes Marty replaced 3rd man Thiaday. Sorry is my hatred of the Broncos shining through ? If so, good.

Its OK Insomniac.
Take a Bex & have a good lie down.

 

[The Insomniac]

Bex ? Mum used to vacuum those up in the old days. Wonder what was in them ?

 

[The Insomniac]

Looked it up. Bex was a strong Analgesic banned in the 1977, because they where addictive and caused kidney disease. Spawned the Aussie venacular " a cup of tea, a Bex, and a good lie down, whilst having your dialysis session."

“Ka-pa-au” just doesn’t have the same ring to it hey..?

 

[LittleSnake]

I also lol'd when he shed the kapow name

 

[Buddy Love]

I saw 1729

The top score was 1886 i believe. I'll see myself and my 1625 out 😅

I'm doing that good this season either. Top 10% but dropped from top 5%. Oh well it's just fun for me can't wait to make trades haha

Yep I grabbed Ponga cheapest I've ever seen him. Guys an 800k player normally so I'm hoping he continues the good form and Knights have a good draw over origin.

I'm 600$$ short for Dylan Lucas... 600... I was thinking of trading out marzhew for Lucas but since I'm short I'm eyeing out Fletcher Sharpe. Should I get Sharpe or leave Marzhew?

Up in Brissy it's... Too-Poo.
