Recruitment and retention

[Gary]

Mark n retiring

Fair play to him , done a good job
For us.

I was a bit surprised by Kaufusi getting another offer but mostly because I was so frustrated by the timing and manner of his latest suspension. When he's not suspended, he continues to be good and his toughness in defence will be needed, hopefully more this year but more likely next.

28 players currently in the top 30 for 2026. Not sure on the developmental contract status. I haven't heard any rumours on possible future acquisitions.

Does everyone reckon Herbie will re sign

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Does everyone reckon Herbie will re sign

If we are offering close to that $1mil I read about, then he would be crackers not to re-sign

Currently there's 29 on the full time list although different NRL publications have conflicting on James Walsh end of contract.

There's only 1 confirmed so far for Development.

I'm guessing he will unless Perth offer him over 1.2 mil which I think would be mental for a centre though I wonder why Herbie hasn't extended already if the reports were true about how much we are offering him.

If he is going to re sign it will be around the time of the membership drive when it’s announced

G Gary I reckon you're very much on the mark there.

Herbie's manager is also DCE's manager so we know one thing about Joe Wehbe is that he might agree to deals for his clients and just wait to announce them when it suits the outside world.

No point announcing a massive retention news especially with the finals hitting fever pitch it's not like previous 2 years we knew the grand finalists before the finals started.

They will be a massive threat to poach at least 2 or 3 from us.
