2026 recruitment & retention

[KNUCKLES]

Hopefully we can secure a quality forward like a Tino or a good backrower

Had a dream last night that tino signed for manly. Hopefully i get de ja vu

 

[Disco]

100% agreed, but its not going to help us from here on out.

1 more year, we'll get through

 

[DieHardManlyFan]

His salary with the donkeys is 450k

I’d expect it to be slightly more in the 500-600 range

Adds some much needed mobility to our forward pack, Hetherington and Bullemor off the bench is very good

If he can cover lock it might even be a way of giving Jake the first 20 to hold the middle then bring him on for a momentum shift. Still don’t know what our plans are for the left second row position

…. Pay peanuts get monkeys! …. We’ve got enough monkeys!

Just sayin’

30 spots to fill. We have just released a few monkeys, and we need to spend our peanuts.

Finally a good signing!!!! Get Beau Fermor to partner Olakau’atu & we win big! So far….
Paseka, TKO, Olakau’atu, OB1Kobe, Brbo, Navale, Bully, Jrbo?, Laiafi, Pua’avase, Hart, Bryan, Lodge?, BFB………

Fermor would be incredible ( is he off contract ?)

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Apparently he was given permission to look for a new club earlier in the season. No idea why.

Gee he’d be an addition , I think he’s a real gun

I think the new coach might have put a stop to it, especially with Fifita going to Wabbits

…. You shouldn’t take that stuff immediately before going to bed!

Just sayin’

Has been rumoured he’s either asked for a release or is being shopped!

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

It would be good if we can get Beau Fermor.

Props: Paseka / Jake
Hooker: Simpkin
SR: Ola / Fermor
Lock: Hethrington

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Id also look at Mason Teague who can play SR and Hooker. Pretty handy player.

I'm going to get bashed but I think Tino is over rated

 

[Pete W]

I'm going to get bashed but I think Tino is over rated

Anyone at that price tag is overrated. Great player, but he couldn't help the Titans in the slightest. Put him in a top side and he, as almost anyone, will shine. Would much rather have 2-3 very good players than 1 "superstar"

 

[The Wheel]

At least our 2026 recruits are from Top 4 teams unlike previous years hunting the tigers and titans
