Recruitment and Retention for 2027

Nick gives a lot of tax free dollars to Roosters players
dont think coin has anything to do with it , think it works in our clubs favour he wants be here and has shut down talks with otheer clubs kodi is another

media can puff there chests all they like ( but none them have quoted the players funy that ) in all honesty theres not a centre in the comp that dolphins would be throwing huge money to as i heard last night even bostock is on piss all and wont want much more guy like stone won't want much more cap going up we got room to pay big on herbie

Averillo more than once shut down rumours of leaving talk and you abused me when I said Averillo rumours are true.

Isaako said he wanted to stay last year.

The only true honesty has come from Fuller.

where you said jake was leaving, at one stage you said uk but never happened
you talked about kodi apprently going with his brother ( but doubt that happenns )

and realistically if we had kept those two herbie and kodi or bostock be the ones going looking at the fact his ( jakes mrs ) lived the whole time down in sydney would suggest reason to go back


and with jaymane he has put his wife first it had nothing to do with money just wantred her to be closer to her family

you can make all the conspiracy's up all you want , but realistically if chocks wanted herbie they would need loose walker and the mone he wants ( and fact the chocks cant keep stars is more of a worry for them
 
I guess the fact he decamped from Lancashire to Brisbane means he is happy to move but they lad has been in the area now for what 8 years? is he really going to upsticks again and move to sydney for a few years to get a few extra $$ after the taxman takes a cut what is the actual extra in his pocket?
Not to mention cost of living etc.

I moved from sydney to brissy. Id never move back.

So you're right. All those things are in favour for him staying. We just need to be in the ball park.

as well as factoring schools jobs for the wife or partner n kids especilly in some areas waiting lists for schools n daycares are shocking

I said there were at least 2 Sydney clubs keen on Averillo when immediate release was on the cards Canterbury knocked him back late last year. The noise about Averillo to Sydney never went away despite two denials.

The Nikorima to UK stuff came from comments from his brother to a UK publication called Love Rugby League.

Don't be naive in thinking Joe Wehbe and Nick Politis aren't talking dollars and contract length for Herbie. It'll take a lot to keep him.

I've learned what a player says and what a club says are totally different to what actually happens.

Keen yes and I know for fact only offer was wests as they never offered anything other two clubd n funny enough hes not in anywhere what others sypposly offered that media said

hence why i dont listen to it unless it comes outta the mouth of player

lol you can listen n spin all the conspiracy's you want but realistically work it out teddys on a mill sam wants longer and higher hardly going have 3 on over a mil plus few others on over 800k


i belive it when i see it as no way we losing herbie for someone on chumo change think thats another thing no way we letting herbie go without someone on more in that postion n theres simily nobody

NRL360 last night suggested we are trying to keep Kodi. We are a little short.

Over the last few seasons ive read differing reports that we have cap space to burn, and then its tight. Not sure which it is.

Who took over from O'Sullivan? He did a fantastic job with our inaugral squad, and left us with cap space for future growth. Whoever has come in has signed off on recruits that were luxuries. Irrespective of Woolf wanting englishmen, id expect whoever is in charge would be saying to him "hey, we dont need that position, or hey we dont have the cap buffer for resigning players."

The Kodi resigning isnt that bad. I understand he is older, turning over older players a year early rather then a year too late is good practice.

So who is the new dude? And where did he come from?
