Could be a fair bit of squad reshaping for 2026, let’s see if our scouts are any use. Several clubs will have promising forwards currently blocked from regular starting roles. Get a few of them FFS!!!!
Off contract at the end of this year:
X DCE
X Schoupp
X James (unless he shocks me in the next month or 2)
🤝 Faulalo 1-2 yr deal on back-up money
X Matterson I know we need a full squad but, …
🤝 Bull re-sign
X Gordie it’s been fun but…
X Arthur go west young man
🤝 Jazz 2 years good value
X Chee Kam thank you
X Raymond Vaega go west etc
🤝 TKO another year
X Sipley 50/50 … so few props available, it seems
🤝 Talau yes keep
Also let’s not rush into re-signing Tom and Jake. Assure them we will look after them if fit and firing but right now 2027 is an awful long way off
Also Aloiai - still 2 more years but medical retirement?
