Recruitment and retention

[mr_c]

They will be a massive threat to poach at least 2 or 3 from us.

outta the ones of contract , i dont see 3 ben even looked at for going elsewhere ( think you n matt over think way to much )

• Brad Schneider ( if don't get new half he stays )
• Connelly Lemuelu he stay
• Francis Molo seeing him staying see out his years here
• Herbie Farnworth unless mal wishes to make him a 2 milion dolar i dont think 1.2 cuts mustard when they got bigger target pays to to pay
• Jake Averillo he will stay
• Jamayne Isaako maybe has 1 or two seasons in him so dont see him leaving
• James Walsh up n commer thinks stays
• Kodi Nikorima to old
• Max Feagai not going get into another nrl side starting so would stay
• Oryn Keeley not nrl quailty
• Ray Stone he will stay loves qld to much
• Trai Fuller ( if he wanted full time nrl full back role he be gone see him staying
• Selwyn Cobbo he wont take perth option he wait till broncos come knocking

and as for ones not of contract hardly see any of them go to perth for one simple thing thry wont want pay contracts out from other clubs

so really what we got be scared of maybe losing selwyn that was allways on cards ? as if we lost herbie there would need be far superior player no way they going have jake in centres with hammer fulltime

Broncos aren't going to come knocking for Cobbo unless McGuire is sacked.

Broncos aren't going to come knocking for Cobbo unless McGuire is sacked.

Hence why I see him signing. On further with us because no new team would want him

 

[Equaliser]

Like who none of tge big 17 will

Lemuelu, Bostock, Naufahu, Donoghue, Gilbert to name a few.

 

[mr_c]

lol the bears hardly going be talking to guys not off contract , which most have 1 or 2 seasons to go after next season , so think you be fine , i dont ever see trai going there and as for gilbert hes our captain and he be here longer than 2028

 

[257Matt]

Lemuelu, Bostock, Naufahu, Donoghue, Gilbert to name a few.

Only Lemuelu from that list is off contract end of 2026.

North Sydney will end up throwing crazy money at many of the players off contract end of 2026.

hence my point with equilizer theres no way they going put massive contract out there to pay half there contract out

Schneider is a bad move, the guy is training fodder at best, Ok hes a drop goal specialist so perhaps he will be useful for 2mins in OT a few times per season.
Keely agreed, maybe leave him in the oven for a few season has potential but is way off it.

Cobbo i can see taking a big money tax free stint at PNG.

1. I never specified when Perth would try to sign them.
2. Do you think contracts are set in stone? I think very far from it.

End of day both here for yeah then its up to club if want keep them or they got other options theres been guys that come here and got rubbished but every player al has been on the same page as us n I am sure if we don't keep them longer we see more talented players come through

I dont see any breaking there contracts to us to go to bears in future if they go after there contracts tgere choice but bears will sign. Players for 2 to 3 years n have there own feeders tgey may get junior players but doubt in next 3 years we see them pick anything. Up thats still contracted

Contracts never ensure completion. They only ensure compensation. I agree with you.

If the Bears offer to double someone's salary at any club, out will come the personal emotional circumstances and they will be at the Bears. Irrespective of how many years they have left.

If i were to approach anyone here that was contracted to the company they work at. And i said to you I'd pay you twice as much. You'd be moving heaven and earth to work for me.

They can't do it with 30 big names. But they will try to start with a few big names and a few just below them.

dont think your got anything to worry about seee them more targeting 90% of there side from mostly the juniors , with few nrl stars , i be very suprised if we saw more than 2 go from dolphins in next 5 years that contracted in top 30 now n in top 30 over next few years that still on contracts

90% from juniors??? More like 10-15%.
