Ronald Volkman has signed with us for the 2025 season. Due to start training with the squad tomorrow, so I suspect the announcement would be first thing in the morning.
Between Volkman and Hawkins, feeling so much more confident with the depth in our halves!

I remember when the Roosters released him to the Warriors and there was a lot of commentary about him being one they shouldn't be letting go. Admittedly they also had Sam Walker, so I guess they chose Sam.
He's got a bit of the Shaun Johnsons about him as well with his running and passing game. Good get for us on a small deal.
Stoked with this
Stroked with that
Volkman the next version of Shaun Johnson, exciting to watch
Isn't he just like a very raw and inexperienced Asi ? He's a year younger and played 40 less NRL games and 4 less international or rep type games. I welcome any depth , howver the hype I'm just not understanding when we just said no to resigning a much much better player who was our depth.
Your slip is showing again Wiz, Asi was a reserve grader at best, he was slow, could not tackle consistently or handle too much first grade pressure. Apart from that he was handy as a 3rd level half.
Volkman is a talent..... stick around a bit longer as you will learn to identify same through "Master Ryles".
PS he also weighs 93 kilos which gives him a look at the 14 job.
Volkman missed a full year due to injury, would have played FG at Saints.
Just a backup up on a train and trial so a good signing.
I thought Asi was doing ok but only played so much FG as we couldnt keep our halves on the field. One game we had Asi at 7 and Matterson at 6 FFS.
Hawkins is the primary backup anyway.
I think you will find Hawkins is the back up for Moses and Volkman for Brown but I have a sneaky feeling that being 93 kilos Volkman may get a look at the 14. Hands to start and Volkman the standby covering all the backs and Hooker.
Going to be some competition for the 14.
Lussick, Smith, JPap, Volkman for starters.
Nah he's wayyy more talented than asi. Had half the nrl chasing him a couple of years ago
