2023 Recruitment & Retention Thread

[HarVeeGee13]

I reckon Simi will be the one to go.

I'd be surprised if it was. But I've been surprised with player swaps before.

I wouldn't be surprised considering how stupid this club is in regards to recruitment.

 

[alexwilliams]

Toohey believes the swap would be with "a promising up and comer"

Sounds like a reserve grader

this would make a bit of sense

True. But not to get journeyman Miller in return.

Can't say I am excited about Miller, hopefully he suprises me, would we have been better off with Hoy?

Time will tell.

I feel in the alternate universe where Tex stayed and was first choice Fullback for 2023, this forum would be blowing up deluxe at the clubs lack of foresight, planning and recruitment.

I truly don’t believe what people saw in Hoy. He was never a long term option. Sharpe and Armstrong have more talent then him at there current age.

All the 2022 reserve grade profiles were deleted today.
I assume they will be putting up the 2023 profiles over the next week or so.
We might get some idea of who has been training with the second tier group.

 

[Krambach]

Hodgeson a bit of the forgotten man due to injuries and the Pryce/miller signings. I still really hope he gets a crack.

If you look at the "trending" list on player profiles on NRL.COM, the most searched player at the moment is Krys Mapapalangi, so a lot of people are suddenly interested in looking at his profile.

If we lose a centre alamoti from the Bulldogs could be worth a look.

We don’t want to let him go!

Chris Vea'lia is also on there

 

[krustykraz]

Not sure if it has been mentioned but apparently a few weeks ago we signed a young half back from the Sharks Ryan Rivett.
Dont know anything about him though.

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I dare say trending player profiles has more to do with people researching players to prepare their starting NRL Fantasy / Supercoach teams than potential recruitment activities.

As a former Supercoach tragic, both Maps and Vea'lia would be potential cheapy / future cash cash cow options.

I always wondered why those trending players seem so random.
I always imagined that someone mentioned them on a forum and a bunch of people looked them up.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Most likely it's Supercoach related, if a popular podcast mentions them as a buy, I can guarantee you their profile views would explode.

Some very random players can be good buys, if the right circumstances arise. I.e a rookie who is next player in line during origin or injury.

I would hate to see us lose Maps, he should be starting this year.

Welcome Vaga, you've already taught me something. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
