Recruitment and retention

[Jetty]

ESL forming a long queue to sign him? Didn't think so perhaps ship him to Wigan. They are called the pies.

No, I don't think so either. Wayne has made it pretty clear Milf isn't in his plans going forward but seems Milf can't pick up a deal anywhere else. Brenko Lee is in the same position but as far as I know, the club paid him out the final year of his contract. I guess Wayne still thinks it's possible but unlikely Milf will be needed at some stage.

Johnathon Thurston or Jason Taumalolo?

Johnathan Thurston.
Speak of Johnathan Thurston, didn't Wayne reject him at the Broncos? Too small apparently.

99% of the clubs in the comp did

you would have to think if they ramping up to get mam ,is Isaiya Katoa safe knowing hes only got one year after this year they could hardly have Isaiya at 7 when you really need a specialist half back

also think if broncos haven't got room for capwell he be good pick up for few years till our young guys ready

Katoa is only 19 next year! Surely Wayne wants him and Mam to be the halves for the next 10~15 years.

You cant be serious. Katoa is a lock to be in the team.

Halfback is surely his spot to lose this year. I hope Wayne doesn't use him at 5/8. Halfback or not in the team for me.

Courier Mail reporting and club not refuting Esra Mam is the Dolphins No.1 target and are offering him 1mil a year.

And Mam would fit that opinion. I think his running game would suit Katoa to a T

Exactly what I was thinking. Their games would compliment each other.

All well and good and if so will give us a stacked back line. But where are the forwards.

That's true. Flegler, Gilbert and Lemuelu will only get better but not so for Nicholls, Wallace, Kafusi and both Bromwiches.

I guess Wayne has a plan. Have to wait and see.

Stone is the oldest of the lot, isn't he?

TBH I was excited about the number of good backs and didn't think about the forwards. I know people talk about their professionalism, winning culture and etc but both the Bromwich brothers had really poor stats last season. I hope Wallace is good for another year. That will leave us a middle rotation of Wallace, Flegler, Gilbert then a bunch of veterans who struggled last season! Let alone next year.

• Luai to Wests Tigers
• Dearden to St George
• Mam to the Dolphins

I think this is how it's going to happen. I'd say Dearden is the best player of the three (just) but for our needs, I think Mam or Luai are a better fit.

Apparently negotiations haven't started. Bit of a worry if true. Broncos have been negotiating for months.

Not really. If he was satisfied he would have already put pen to paper.

Waiting for news of someone signing FFS.

Bennett loves the Cone of Silence. I wouldn't worry Equaliser.
