Recruitment and retention

I don't think it's that they lack discipline but it's more body type. Blokes like Milford and Taumololo mature early but are also passed their best, having slowed down a lot earlier. Not all, just some like the short, stocky one's I mentioned. Payne Haas won't have that problem because he's not that body type.

oh for sure but theres lot that just aint fit period

In other Dolphins news, the club’s quest to sign Manly halfback and former Redcliffe junior Daly Cherry-Evans for 2026 is in limbo for the time being, according to CEO Terry Reader.
“We are pretty settled with the squad we’ve got and who we have, but this is the NRL and if someone of Daly’s quality is interested in talking to us then we’d be interested in talking to him,” he said.
“He’s taking time to work out what he’s doing. If Daly decides he wants to talk to us, when he has made his mind up, then we will talk."

Now, what I want you to remember about this is the Evans loves the cash. More than any other player I have watched play the game.

This move for him is all about the cash.

So when he signs somewhere and you tell me he is going for less to win a comp, and I tell you your head is up your ass. I don’t want an argument.

I think there's 3 clubs who are after DCE and there's all different reasons he can benefit. The only "premiership window" club is Canterbury but Gus will be using his 9 media contacts and Laundy will be setting him up to own a pub without any work we know that.

Dolphins can offer coaching roles wirhin the club and will be trying to work with the QRL to see what's on offer there as DCE is a long-time QLD captain and can be offered such positions.

Roosters we all know what goes on with Nick.

One thing I do predict and it's the one ace up the Dolphins sleeve and it's how contract games work. If Dolphins sign DCE watch for them with a quick stroke of the pen give Josh Kerr a new two year deal. Kerr is managed by DCE's manager who also looks after Flegler, Herbie & a few kids in the various Norths junior rep sides.

I actually think Manly was right. They paid him over 10 million in the last 10 years. Given his age, I thought offering him less money to play was right but it seems he spat the dummy and considered it low-balling.

I think he was right too. But him flip flopping and playing them like a greedy overpaid footballer is what we need to remember here.

Signing with the GC then at the wiff of money stab them then leave.

I meam he obviously loves the cash, as most people do. The, like not many other footballs, plays contract sagas in the media like no other.
