2026 recruitment & retention

[double hoops]

Lmao, the exaggeration from the doomsdayers on here never gets old. We literally just signed a 22 year old prop that has 100x more chance of becoming a future star… Less than 12 months ago we signed Walsh who was the U 18’s captain for Australia in Union + the Large brothers who were the 2 hottest prospects across either code literally choosing between 10+ NRL clubs & a stack of Union teams as well.

Here’s a dose of reality for you, the guy is 25 & hasn’t played a single game of first grade. The chances of him becoming a ‘future star’ aren’t 0 but are highly unlikely. He’ll go to whoever says they’ll give him a crack at the t?op 30 wether that’s first last or anywhere in between on the ladder.

And if he gets a choice between us and anyone else why would you suggest he come to MWSE?

He's 25 so he can't **** this up.

Yeah I agree. That's why someone like Garner would of been good. Can cover in the centres and burbo could come off the bench. I think this is the sort of profile we need looking at.

I think we have tried to sign garner a couple of times however he elected to stay at the riff and collect premiership rings. Who would blame him 🤷‍♂️. I have mentioned before that Mule senior offered Zac to us before he signed with the raiders however we were too slow off the mark 🫣

Maybe Peter’s ‘hasten gently’ approach wasn’t up to scratch.

Boom boom.
