Recruitment and retention

[Equaliser]

Dolphins will need to sign/promote 3 forwards to replace Bromwich, Nicholls and Kaufusi getting Knowles and Hazleton will be good for them.

Things are promising for Flegler he's in the process of all the clearances Dolphins are just being very guarded on the outside.

Saifiti, Flegler to take the place of one of them, Gilbert another and then one young player.

They're already incumbent Top 30 players.

Still need to recruit 3 players to replace 3 retiring players.

they be young players n if a decent player comes on market we have a look but i suggest they be young guys

My view is next year with a middle forward rotation of Flegler, Saifiti, Gilbert, Plath, Stone, that is a sufficient foudation to bring in a young player at least as good as Hazelton. Other positions need to be strengthened.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Knowles is for next year, not this season. Just encase you’re wondering about the 30 man roster

Yes next year 2 players are retiring and possibly Kaufusi they will need to be replaced in the 30 from those NOT in the current 30.

There's also Kerr and Teague who are at the crossroads and both off contract if they don't aim up it could be up to 5 forwards that need replacing.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Yeah I was just making sure you’re all aware.

Sorry if I was stating the obvious

 

[midlands hobo]

I'm going to say it again. Lachlan Hubner has potential.

 

[midlands hobo]

Don't rate him. Josh Kerr 2.0.

I like what i've seen, only concern is his age.

Hubner was signed by Souths. He's gone.

yeah they looking to replace karl sounds like hazleton is going to dragons

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

I rate Hazleton I thought he was an outside chance for NSW last year good replacement for Goat and Kenny in 2026

I am hearing Dragons?

Good riddance to Kerr. Teague is a bit unlucky. If you put his skill and determination in Kerrs body, he'd probably be the best forward in the competition. As is, he just had the wrong body type to match his game. Not big enough. He should have a long and productive career in the QLD or NSW Cup.

Teague is a really sad and disappointing one because from all reports just one of the best locker room guys within the club the players all love him. He just hasn't progressed after his stellar 2022 SG Ball season captain of the star studded Penrith side still reaping the benefits of the Gould pathways system and showing so much promise in 2023.

Apparently he was a prodigy in the age limited grades but as soon as he hit the open age group, wasn't big enough.

Hazleton said no to Dolphins

Broncos have an excess of props.
