Dylan Brown money where does it go?

I'm convinced Dylan will leave that will then set up cap space of a reported 900k 

Do we back our other half options Volkman, Hawkins, Papali  or invest in a 6?

Maybe do we use that money for a quality 9 a wishart (also a decent half) or Smith.

  • Pezet  next year 500-600k and spend the other 3-400 k on a hooker

    • I was just thinking this with the news of knights interest in brown..

      Pezet could be someone that we go for given the Ryles kink with storm 

    • Now that can happen as it would be 12 months past Ryles hire and by then Hughes would have decided if he is staying in Melbourne or not. If he is, Pezet can rip up his contract.

      I do not see Pezet as a star but can be a quality half.

    • Yeah this is it. 

  • I think Volkmann could be good he  has had a bad run with injures but has talent as does Papali I would be getting either into  the team quickly if he signs elsewhere 

    • We definitely should see how Volkman goes first. Could add him to top30 at a third of what Brown will cost us.

      Then we have a lot of money left over to enter the market.

  • Galvin & Brailey

  • If happens, sure eels will target Galvin for sure. 2nd would be Wishart.

     

  • Blayke Brailey from Cronulla is off contract for 2026.A great pickup at Hooker should we need one.
    Herbie Farnworth is off contract at the Dolphins. An improvement on Penisni at centre.

    Tyran Wishart Melbourne 5/8  with huge raps is off contract for 2026

    Papenhauzen is off contract as well.

    Harry Grant is off contract and would be awesome in Blue and Gold.

    The Warriors Luke Metcalf is a very good 5/8 that is returning from a long injury. He is off contract.

    Lachie Gavin from Tigerland and Api Koroisau are both off contract. Lets take them. 

    Theres some young forwards on the market as well. Griffin Neame is an exciting front row youngster from the Cowboys.

     

    • Wishart is signed for 2026 with Melbourne, there was a club option and Melbourne activated it. 

      Galvin is worth a shout but i reckon he ends up at Easts. Metcalf is realistic.
