Recruitment and Retention for 2027

Cowboys talking to Tevita-Harris. Fuck me, we should be having a chat with him, but no, we have George Williams coming. A 7 to play 6 im assuming. He cant be coming to play anywhere else? Or even to back up Katoa.
 
i belive it when i see it cht moving to north qld wont happen as turned down chance going to broncos to play with his brother


i would say Williams is here to train the young guys coming through ie not going poach the young guys from dogs not to let them have go in nrl so probbally willams is here till the other two are ready as i don't see us getting cht long term if got the other two kids ( Reilly Laverty and Toby Batten)

I haven't seen any confirmation he's coming to play 5/8 but I doubt he'd come over to Aus to be a back up halfback.

Exactly, so he is going to push Katoa out of his position? That is kind of what I was alluding to.

If that's the case, sack Woolf and the recruitment team now, because its idiotic. And having watched Williams myself, and at his age, we would be going backwards if that was the case. Not to mention, you have a young half back there, with the right mentality, leadership qualities, still developing with a bright future and you recruit for his position. If he is coming to be a back up and play elsewhere, that's fine, but lets be honest, someone on good money needs to be starting, otherwise its a waste of salary cap space.

Either way you put it, you're either going backwards or its a waste of salary cap space. So I have no idea how they have come to that decision. There is absolutely no upside to this. However, I'm a couch supporter I hope they all prove me wrong.

If you look at the good teams in the comp, you don't question their recruitment like this decision. This early on in The Dolphins life, we cant make bad recruitment choices, and PNG are around the corner, its only going to get hard to get good players coming. We need to be spot on.

Surely there is no way he is going to replace Katoa. Despite Katoa's poor form so far this year. Club have made it pretty clear they want Katoa around for the long-term and Katoa has also said he wants to be around for the long-term.

Totally, and he is young. I think he will play origin etc. However, a young player has ups and downs. Those will level out for him.

However, despite that, I think his form is a result of other things. The whole team is down, and I think the coaching/game plans and direction arent there at the moment. That is not on Katoa.

He is a player you build a club around. If you're getting Williams to replace that, you've got rock in your head, and id prefer that a person with that point of view wasn't making recruitment decisions for my club.
