NRL General Recruitment and Retention

Going to be very difficult to ensure we get that much needed middle forward especially having to compete with the Chiefs and Bears.
We might be best offering Frizell to play another year who along with Niukore give us experience while the likes of Hopwood getting another year to develop along with others coming through.
Letting Gags, Gamble, Jones and possibly Marzhew go will give us a bit of play money to wave in front of Lucas if needed.
The sleeper is Sullivan W currently unsighted in 2026 and obviously injured and some talk might not play again, if so further saving no matter how little.
 
Hopwood will come off the bench and average over 100 metres per game next season. The signs are so good. He's big but moves well for his size and the ease with which he can already offload the ball & the effort it already takes to bring him down are great signs. Another pre-season after getting a bit more experience in the NRL and he's going to be very good very fast. It's such a good sign that even against Penrith, if he can get onto the ball at speed against anything that isn't really strong front-on contact on him, it's going to be an offload or a lightning fast play the ball every time. He's gonna be a beast.
 
I think we need to try and keep Marz. Stating the obvious he is like an extra forward. Sign him for 2 year with option would be ideal. He may want 3 years. I’m confident Hunt will take Gags centre spot. I don’t know if Winter will be ready next year? I doubt it.
 
Latrell Mitchell ended his 18 months media ban and basically said he has no interest in joining the PNG Chiefs lol
