2023 Recruitment & Retention Thread

If you wanted to write it in an English was to help learn the pronunciation it would be something like Far-rao-re-re

First name is pretty self explanatory, Tama-kia-moana

The easiest way to do it is break it down syllable by syllable … there’s a few different vowel sounds in Māori but getting the name right is the main thing. Not too hard if you break it down and I’m sure he’d appreciate the effort 😊

You've gotta factor in all us Aussies have brain damage from alcohol abuse mate, we can't simply "pronounce names correctly" like you Kiwis.
 
Plus most aussies have the good ole 2 syllable 5-6 or so letter first name.

Peter
Robert
Michael
Jason
Sally
Kristy
Michelle
Susie
Etc.
 
Blokes that only have 1 year left:

Jake Clifford (seems like there'd be a chance he'd want to go back home to QLD)
Lachlan Fitzgibbon (out of favour, probably could find some interest based on his form a couple years ago)
Tyson Frizell (most likely guy to get some interest, rep caliber but getting older)
Bailey Hodgson (not a lot known about his situation but being so injury plagued could lead to him wanting to go home or falling out of favour)
Hymel Hunt (not really needed anymore, could get some interest from a team that needs a solid depth player)
Jack Johns (out of favour, probably won't attract a lot of interest though)
Brodie Jones (won't attract any interest, cheap local that will probably be happy to stick around on the cheap though)
Kurt Mann (toilet drama won't do him any favours, club might see it as a chance to move him on, along with injury troubles)
Enari Tuala (similar situation to Hymel, but younger so club will probably be happy to keep him)

Adam Clune (club will keep him for depth)
David Klemmer (a month ago this seemed realistic, but thankfully those rumours have died down, valuable player to the club)
Chris Randall (club will keep him for depth)
Chris Vea'ila (young prospect)
Dom Young (this guy will be upgraded and extended fairly soon you'd think)
