    I wonder if the new coach has a family member who wants to play 7.

    Apparently nothing came out of the Dragons/Hunt talks today. They saying he will train on Wednesday to play the Sharks.

    If he was to move mid season, I'd say it would take a week or 2. There will likely be a fair few moving parts. Where a number of decisions/requests/announcements will need to be made; with Hunt leaving being the final one.

    "
    The Sea Eagles have announced a number of key recruitment moves – headlined by the signing of Wests Tigers halfback Luke Brooks on a four-year deal from the start of the 2024 NRL season.

    Brooks was one of four key moves announced by the club, joining current teammate Tommy Talau and Roosters winger Jaxson Paulo at the Sea Eagles in 2024."

    maybe schuster will be going to the tigers after all lol

    Can you imagine if Brooks actually kicks on from here by going to another club.

    Good thing they pissed Benji off, flicked Hastings etc.

    If clubs are going to lose it pro-rata they will spend it so won't concern the RLPA. Clubs would just front load a contract or upgrade contracts earlier to save on the back end.

    And who gives a shit what top clubs want, shouldn't be setting salary cap rules around what clubs want - whole point of the independent commission.

    They have supposedly asked the Titans for Fotuaika or Tino in return for releasing Hunt out of his contract.

    Can't see them releasing him to Broncos until they have secured compensation.

    Absolutely, I severely doubt Hunt is still there at the end of the year. Whether that means Hunt is at the Broncos or on his couch in a new pad in Queensland, it's a matter of when, not if. It does Dragons no good wheeling him out every week when they could be getting miles into a potential Sullivan/Amone combo looking into the future. So Dragons need to do their due diligence in the meantime to ensure they are compensated.

    As for Mo and Tino, they are dreaming. To cover Hunt's contract for this year/next year they have a bit of an opportunity to grab a few guys to really bolster their roster. They should try and get Sailor back from Broncos and a Sexton/Boyd and possibly a Fermor/Haas Jr./Tino Jr. from the Tits.

    Its just not how this works. The NRL is not a unilateral actor.

    Who would you all sign at Wests? Not much on the market halves wise, their record of signing ex panthers is terrible but I wonder if backing Kurt Falls in might be worth their time, or approaching Canberra about trying to get Fogarty out of his contract a year early.


    I keep suspecting that they're going to end up getting Tedesco back though, something like a 3 year deal once he's another year older and slower as all they've got is nostalgia in their plans

    The talent that has come and gone through that club over the last 10 years is absurd. I think theyre fucked. Not even Bennett could rebuild that place.

    There’s already reports of it but if I were them I’d be doing everything I can to grab Trindall from Cronulla.

    I think they probably need to sign a couple of halves. Trindall and a youngster like Pezet from Melbourne would be a good start.

    The club is in all sorts though, at this point I don’t think it really matters who they sign there’s clearly bigger issues.

    Suaalii and Crichton will leave Easts before end of season to go to rugby.

    Crichton chose to be without a contract for a couple of months in the off-season in the hope he’d get a new contract with the Roosters whilst he had multiple offers from Union sitting on the table.

    I don’t see him jumping ship now and I don’t see the club pushing him out.

    His mindset may have been a bit different back then.

    Tino and Fifita both being able to leave the Titans due to a Holbrook clause just sums up the Titans time in the NRL.

    Supposedly Canberra have offered Fifita 4m for 4yrs.

    And apparently Sexton has gone to Bulldogs effective immediately. Good thing they axed Fogarty.


    Edit: or did they originally flick him to give Boyd the halfback spot ?

    Double edit: anything to do with Hunt?

    Yeah weren't they supposed to be the favourites for Hunt? And yeah it seems like Boyd was ahead of him anyway.

    I thought Sexton would’ve been a good chip to play as compensation for Hunt.
