Recruitment And Retention Discussion

If the puzzle pieces can fit so it doesn't jeopardise Sharpe extending, that's all that matters to me.

We would have to have one of the cheapest middle rotations in the comp, so I would be surprised if Bradman/Dom's extensions go past 2029... Trey Mooney is on $550K a season till then. The way he's going it's going to cost a lot more to keep him.
 
Anyone who would want to retain Fletcher Hunt over Dom Young is absolutely crazy. Luckily POS has made it abundantly clear that he isn't crazy.

Hunt's not even a local, he's from out past Dubbo. I guess compared to Dom he is though.

He came through our juniors, cost a lot less, can play more positions and hasn't hit his ceiling not even close. On the basis of can't keep them all because there's a salary cap, there's nothing "crazy" about it.

Not all of us fans were born in Newy or the Hunter even either….. Some of us willingly chose the emotional trauma of supporting this team 😂

I think the story here is anyone can be replaced. I wouldn't feel the sadness if best left as some people would and bostock would be a good replacement but just a story to sell papers.

Usual connecting the dots with POSs ties to the Dolphins. Much like Best to the Eels
 
Meanwhile, Newcastle are expected to show interest in NSW winger Jack Bostock should Bradman Best depart the Knights.

Bostock, who made his State of Origin debut this season, is contracted to the Dolphins through 2027 and shapes as one of the more sought-after outside backs ahead of the November 1 market opening.

A move to the Hunter could also hold appeal for Bostock, who is understood to have close ties to Newcastle.

There is familiarity with Knights recruitment boss Peter O'Sullivan, who played a key role in identifying and bringing Bostock to the Dolphins as a teenager.

Any pursuit is expected to hinge on the future of Best, who remains contracted to Newcastle through 2027 but has attracted interest from rival clubs.

Gold Coast could have another player heading towards the open market, with Jaylan De Groot's future at the Titans now in doubt.

Here's the bit on Bostock. From Isaac Issa who's a newer name but has been pretty reliable from what I've seen, though could also just be putting 2+2 together with the O'Sullivan link.

He seems more durable than Bradman. I wonder what the difference would be dollars wise.

Durable hmm kinda. Missed lots of footy still. Also doesn't have the skill to pull Bradnams socks up currently. Just another tall winger to me. We don't kick to them anyway so what's the point 🤣

Issac Issa used to write for zero tackle
 
Yeah he was mainly doing player movements in the juniors but seems to have a real gig at ESPN now. From memory he was the first to report Mooney had agreed to a deal here.
