2026 recruitment & retention

[Dion Johnson]

Burbo is one of the few players who have improved this year. The others, imo, are Koala, Simpkin, Bully and Guacca. I don't think Hoppa Jnr has matched the heights of 2024 but he is still young.
TKO has been good, much better than I expected, and Jazz has given plenty.
The injury to Tent was a huge blow to the team.
As for the rest of the players, 2025 will be remembered as another low point.

That’s a fair assessment, I think most thought that the squad didn’t have the depth in the middle and the edges prior to the season commencing, losing Tent so early in the season tested that depth further.

Injuries have plagued others middles this season and the team has been fortunate TKO has done well, hopefully there is some room in the cap if the club can move someone on to get more depth in the middle and the edges.

Burbo has 22 tackle busts and three line break assists this year

That’s about as many as koula in two games
