2026 recruitment & retention

[MW66]

A no from me. Not what we need. We have Fogarty coming (so Sexton not needed) and while Mahoney would be a step up from Croker/Simpkins it would also be at a cost up. Fingers crossed young Zaidas can step up next year.

 

[WAMF]

Mahoney from 3 to 4 years ago, absolutely but I think he is probably past his best now.
Not sure how Sexton would fit in with Fog on the way and Walsh being prepped in the lower grades.

 

[globaleagle]

Honestly, I can't take another identical thread

~moves!

 

[The '47ers]

Tallyn de Silva would be a better option

 

[Rocky]

Should we buy Reed Mahoney and Sexton from the dogs.

Where would sexton play?

Reed Mahoney is marginally better than our current hookers and costs twice as much.

 

[Stewbojevic]

No and no to Mahoney and Sexton.

We need mobile middles and at least one more edge backrower.

 

[maxta]

Tallyn de Silva would be a better option

By a Looong way

 

[Hertera]

Should we buy Reed Mahoney and Sexton from the dogs.

no

 

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

Should we buy Reed Mahoney and Sexton from the dogs.

Hell NO

Faark No...
Just no.

 

[maxta]

Faark No...
Just no.

Fair call mate

 

[bob dylan]

Mahony , he has the mongrel and cheekiness that we need and have been missing, ok fire when ready ....

Its just a pity he has zero ability or discipline.

only if you are planning to use them as kicking tees.

They got nothing.

I reckon has ability and is competitive Bob, but so busy winding others up and hiding behind his players, loses the plot....and if playing for Manly I'd still cheer when he gets smashed

I think Origin has confirmed DCE is passed it, fogarty will do nicely for 3 years. We really need to have Tom and Jake take hair cuts. We need an aggressive Prop to partner Paseka and a hard running Edge plus a bench hooker. Put Burbo on bench who can cover second row and centre.

I think we need to look at not resigning Tof, Lodge, Frog, Bronwy,

hink we need to look at not resigning Tof, Lodge, Frog, Bronwy,

Crokes and Bronwyn (🤷‍♂️)(Brown?)() have another year on their current deals.

But plenty of the top 30 are off contract (including Bull and Talau) so I expect a fair amount of comings and goings

Turb and Jurb have one more year on their expensive deals, unless they can somehow be renegotiated for longer deals but at far lower? Not sure if NRL allows that...?

Seibold extended Brown for 2 years unfortunately.

If we don't re sign Bully the club has lost the plot. He is exactly the type of forward we need.

 

[Disco]

We certainly do have both on contract for 26 but there is nothing stopping us letting both know we will be going in a different direction in 27 and if they can secure a longer term deal elsewhere they are free to move on at the end of the season.

I could see Croker picking up a nice 2-3 year deal in the ESL
