Was listening to Braith Anastas podcast and he said he's actually spoken to Rylesy, club is definitely interested in sandon smith but he also mentioned Ryles was looking at another player but he stopped short of saying who it was. Sounded like a big name but he said he better not go there. Interesting

Na mate no chance.
The prick had had the talk a while back with the Dogs.
Would not surprise me if it was over a year ago when he first agitated to leave the tigers. We were never in the picture and like I said, the Galvin's are not true Parra fans, don't care what anyone tells me..
AJB is a possibility but I think we will end up with atleast 1 Titan.
Like you said, Sexton to Titans leaves them with AJ, Campbell, Kini, Zane Harrison and Carter Gorden. With Zane being their future, and Carter Gorden being a bit of a utility back up. This is all assuming that Foran retires which might not be the case! Also the emergence of De Groot, who is doing well enough to get extended as a back up Fullback.
Too many first graders to fit into their plans.
In the scenario they do sign Sexton, he will be their 7.
Foran their 14, and Harrison will be their back up.
Leaving Kini, Campbell and AJ for the 6 and 1 jerseys.
AJB is the Goldcoasts golden boy who is a rep level fullback who is strong on supports which will be neccesary with the way Sexton and Foran play.
Campbell is undeniably talented and has such a great connection to that team as the son of their marquee signing and probably the one of the only legends of that club.
Kini is the odd man out, it's a brutal business and Kinis significant injury and upcoming contractual demands will potentially break the levee and force their hand.
Kini can definitely play 6 and would be great there.
bear in mind AJ Brimson is contracted until 2029 at around $800k per season
Jayden Campbell off contract end of 2026, will likely need an upgrade
Kini end of 2026 as well, will likely need an upgrade.
Desy's job is very much on the line here, if they could land Sexton pretty soon, do the titans play better with AJ at 5/8 or Campbell?
I would think AJ at 5/8 makes Sextons job easier but Sexton could free up Campbell at 5/8 more.
If AJ is to play 5/8 over Campbell it would have been done by now.
Kini is the first one GC will keep. It will be between Campbell and Brimson. The reason Brimson is the one shafted is his body type and playing type allow him to play other positions well. He can be a Centre and even a Lock. Campbell is either Fullback or in the halves. Kini can play Centre but is too good at Fullback to move him.
Brimson therefore moves to Centre as Campbell is not suited. With Carter Gordon there he could replace Brimson. But another outlier could be who the coach is. It seems very likely at the moment Hasler is gone in 2026, does the new coach use Brimson differently? If GC allow Hasler to do a clean out, he may let Brimson go to use his cash to make some signings, perhaps get Mahoney as Hooker as Verrills and Randall aren't doing it for them.
I think the first one they will keep is AJB since they already gave him a multi year deal.
Out of Kini and Campbell why would they keep Kini over Campbell? JC is one of the only players with a cultural connection to the club, and has untapped potential. Kini is a very good player who is relatively 1 dimensional but very good at that style of play, he is coming off a huge injury lay off and potentially may never reclaim his form or atleast not for years.
If a club offers Kini big $$ the Titans will let him go without a doubt.
Kini is the best Fullback out of them. Kini could play Wing or Centre but he isn't meaning Campbell and Brimson have to move somewhere so Kini can play Fullback. Kini is the future NZ Fullback.
Kini seems too fragile to play in the line at 6. I think they will stick with him at FB and leave Campbell at 6 and bring in an organising half to support them. They wil keep Brimson at half if they can, but Brimson is an option.
ELI the player would have been Troy pezet whom Braith manages . I think he stopped short of saying it as he would look like a Hypocrite going about Gus then mentioning about his own client
They just spoke about pezet on 360 he's not really that big a name. It's best if it remains silent but imo
