It’s looking obvious to me that-
* junior Paulo will re sign for 1 year
* Volkman will re sign for 1 to 2 years
* Saxon Pryke will re sign for 1 year
* Will Penesini will extend for 1 to 2 years
* Joash will not be resigned
* DE Belin will not be resigned
* Richard Penesini will not be resigned
We have 25 players in the top 30.
need a prop, centre, winger, fullback and another middle forward. Could promote from juniors if warranted.

You think? Sounds very uninspiring and about as obvious as me booking my ticket for Vegas in February.
yh i've booked also i really don't wanna watch a depressing team
And you know this because?
hope your wrong about Paulo he is crap and needs to be pissed off, the perth deal fell through because he wanted 2 yrs at 900 k and perth wouldn't contemplate that amount. he isn't worth 200 let alone that.
I agree , he has been a plodder for the last few seasons and I think a position on the clubs staff should be reserved for the ultimate clubmen. We are just hiring more of same passenger type men if we offer this guy a position. Why ? Because he apparently appeals to other Polynesians ? If he's such a drawcard then why don't we have a squad jam packed with great islanders ?
Ploddo left for money , came back when he was found to be average at Canberra , milked millions from us as one of the highest paid props in the game, and cruised through most of his huge contracts bar a few seasons , and then attempted to leave for more coin again rather than stay and give back to the club ( his prerogative no foul here ) and then we want to reward him with a cushy job for his average loyalty ?, nah .. good clubs don't need race based token positions to keep their players inline or motivated.
I can't think of any other reason why we are hiring him post footy ? Maybe if he busted his arse for the club or it was evident he produced results ,but he's underwhelming in both .
it's time this fucking club demands more than mediocrity.
totally agree wiz
would it be a better option and cheaper to get a good quality prop from the local building site?
Nah, keeping Paulos ok if we can't recruit better, just don't reward him like he's a once a lifetime club servant with a nice post career job .
This is the dude that was out playing Rugby Union for a few hundred bucks a game while out injured for us . It triggered salary a cap breach and investigation by memory. He's never put the club first, never.
heard Will had a 1yr extention
I think one prop and one left centre. That's all we need now for 2027.
NRL:
Iongi, Kelly, Penisini, NEWCENTRE, Addo-Carr, Luai, Moses; Tuivati, Smith, NEWPROPO, Su'A, Kautoga, Hopgood; Da Silva, Brown, Paulo, Williams.
CUP:
Papalii, Simonsson, Samrani, Nanva, Tago/NEWWINGER, Talataina, Volkman; Moretti, Edwards, Doorey, Latu, Funa-Iuta, Guymer; Coinakis, Talagi, Koina, Petrus.
---> That still leaves the likes of Lokeni Popo, Pryke, Fletcher, Rokosuka, Visconti, Vaivela, Beattie, Hudson, among others.
We have good numbers and good potential. We don't need a lot of signings. On paper Samrani or Simonsson can play left centre and Moretti or Doorey can fill that propo position. But Ideally we get these two.
Two players. Max.
