2026 recruitment & retention

[Heckenberg]

I thought Aloiai's retirement would free up at least another $500k for 26, and as others have mentioned it wouldn't surprise me if Croker walks away for health reasons and he'd probably be on $300k.

300 seems modest for croker.

I think Kobe and reed mahoney would be fantastic. Jake to prop for first 30 with paseka, bully and a young prop. Simpkin and reed to share hooker role.

Mahoney is what we lack. Mentality wise. Does whatever to win. Grub. Love it. Too many nice lads in the team

I know you jest but Big Papa is on record as saying he wont play against the Raiders.
