2026 recruitment & retention

[Ohgeez]

Nice to see some younger players being signed but without good coaching it will amount to nothing

Lehi seems to have turned out decent so far?

I cant see Tino leaving one struggling club to go to another.

Currently 6th, finished 7th last year...
Struggling hyperbolic

Tino not a dream, our marquee players are DCE (moving on), Jake has some cap relief as long serving player, Turbo and Oka. 2027 Jake and turbo on reduced deals and a big signing can happen

We should have space for 2 marquee players in 2027. Tommy will be on $700k, Jake on $450k and Garrick to $500k so that’s a saving of $1.1M. DCE being replaced by Forarty is a $400k saving. JA medical retirement $500k, Croker $350 moved on. Thats $2.35Million just there.

We could easily offer Tino $1.1m per year along with the captaincy. Still leaves us $1.25m to balance the rest of the squad.

For once we will be in a great position salary cap wise. Just have to wait another 2 seasons.

Beauty, he looks like a Saab turbo in da forwards just what we need. Also don't judge people yet, look at Payne Haas totally different to his Mum. Ola and Peseka has got another brother from a different mother. CMon Manly

How about spending some money on a decent coach.
