Recruitment and Retention for 2027

He had better not

No dickheads policy

He also isn't good enough to be anything other than a backup and there are plenty of backups out there who aren't dickheads

No dickheads
But a depth 5/8 is needed. If Donoghue isn't considered for it. He's a much better lock but could fill the role as a depth 5/8.

I guess it's good but probably means Herbie to the Roosters is a done deal.

I know they are losing a few and letting go of Leniu (because they had 3 of the best 10 props in the comp. How it is possible to do that within the cap I have no idea) but still, the premiers signing the most in demand player on the market is a new one. Penrith did nothing but lose, lose, lose players and rely on fringe first graders or lower graders to fill the void.

Roosters are losing a fair few.

They'll have plenty of space.

I do think its a massive risk signing Herbie to play fullback though. If thats the plan.

They other thing im hearing is the Chiefs are after a 7. Its either Cleary or Walker. If the Roosters dont resign Walker, how attractive is their proposition.

If they on same page as woolf I don't care who we get don't see Nathan's boy staying at dolphins now hes part of dragons set up n can see fien targeting other phins juniors end the day woolf got best outta lot of cast offs if other clubs so look forward to seeing what next season has in store


also with the fact mark n has told the club hes back with 2 years i reckon , there goes any chance of chocks getting herbie as well as mark as well as walker up grading there forwards ( i dont see toia been told leave either )

i think media just pissing in the wind especailly when they say all the agents say it a done deal lol jusr gullible if you belive that one minute its tom d one minutes its herbie next minute marks back in 2 years


lol

Sorry forgot to post the Bostock Article, here it is

 

[SwoopAE]

Great news with Bostock if we get that done soon

Then on to Herbie and Hammer, one of Pouniu or Lemuelu (presumably Pouniu) and then we're fine to let everyone else take a smallish offer or leave until next season when we have to get Katoa, Plath and Donoghoe done

Hopefully Su'a is ready to step up next season in the forwards as presumably he'll be taking Stone's place then by the time Flegler/Knowles leave if they do we should have the talent to promote from within

Our 2027 squad is fantastic regardless but it's such a key year for securing the medium term future of this current contending window from 2028 on

It can be argued who's the better lock out of Plath or Dongohoe and both are lengths ahead of Knowles who as a lock I would have below Fineanganofo by the time 2027 comes along.

But with Nikorima and Averillo both gone it's without doubt Donoghoe is the best 5/8 in the club and a much better player than Williams and Schneider.

It also solves having Plath and Donoghoe on the field together as both need to be playing 80.

Touch wood Donga comes through the World Cup unscathed as it'll be him, Api and JSaf carrying Fiji.
