2025 Recruitment And Retention

They based it on the Knights announcing they've signed Tyrone like it was a new development and not something we've known about for 6+ months, and don't seem to realise that he's only signed for one season as well. Wouldn't read too much into their prediction, doesn't sound like they know more than any of us.

Think we've known for about 18 months! Meanwhile, podcasts: "That was out of the blue!"

James Graham is still extremely well connected at the Dogs. He'd be getting good intel.
 
I love Leo Thompson and don't want to see him go, I just really hope we don't overpay for him and end up in the same situation we're in now, but 5 years down the track when Ponga is in his 30s. (Unless we miraculously won the comp, then all is forgiven)
 
what's that pong said:
It worked for us with a guy by the name of kalyn ponga, you may of heard of him, apparently he goes alright.

Ponga had much bigger raps on him as a junior. He also took about 5 minutes of First Grade to prove he was a star. Pezet has just looked ok slotting into one of the best systems in Rugby League.

I’m not saying he won’t be a star or doesn’t have the ability. But he’s very much unproven at this stage.

I don’t know why but pezet reminds me of just a young Chad Townsend if that’s the case he will be a huge day

I’m a bit dirty on him for being a Melbourne simp, but even I think the Chad Townsend comp is a bit harsh.

Toby Sexton is way more of a 1:1 for Chaddy brah if I was going to single a current player out for the brand of shame.

I get what your saying, but there is never a guarantee that a jr with huge wraps will make it as a 1st grader. Also 2 different positions not many halfbacks come into 1st grade and kill it from the start

I get nervous about props on contract year on their form ever since Josh Perry lol.
 
New profiles added to the firstgrade list.

Jye Linnane - 5/8
Wilson De Courcey - centre
Malachi Smith - hooker
Elijah S/L - 2nd row
Tyrone Thompson - prop

I assume they are all in the new list that replaces development
