1. Galvin was always going to the dogs where his junior trainer was stationed
2. Pezet is a 7 and wants to play halfback. Easy.
3. Dragons offered Keon insane money. Parramatta aren't that desperate. So easy to understand this. They offered 5 years and we offered 4. Who wouldn't take the extra 1 million????????
4. Barnett. Big woop. Is still coming back from an acl, and will be 33.

See when your in the race for talent are we really in the race.
JR interviewed and talked with all these guys and we got Pezet for a year.
This is one of the issues that has to change going foward we can't continue to put up note interest and just get cut off at the pass.
Much like the court case we just won recruitment is as important we need to be strategically better about landing these guys.
What I suspect in Barnetts case is he wants to go to a winner he's got a 2 year window and Parra isn't in that premiership window hence why I think Barnett went to the Broncs if it as reported.
Me I just would keep my cards close to my chest and not say anything about who we are targeting and like I've always said develop our own and look farther & wider.

Bingo. When you look at our juniors, our middles seem the strongest. You've got Sam Tuivaiti, Luca Moretti and Charlie Guymer all with NRL experience. Then you have Jordan Teancum Brown who looks like he'll debut later this year at this rate, then Ryda Talagi. Big money middle forwards would be an initial nice to have, but long term we want to be bringing guys through the grades in those positions as that's where you save money on your cap and can spend it in the spine.

"will never get a better chance of beating the storm, weakest forward pack in years and lost a lot of quality players exiting the club and their best forward in Katoa. Eels by 16."

I love the way everyone goes off as soon as they hear a rumour from 'an insider' LOL.
