Did you read what I said? I said if both Fulton and Lehmann leave, that gives us 2 quota spots...

There is no overseas quota limit in the championship.

Dont see why you would want to push overseas to the limits really, if by some miracle you get to sl you then have to rip more players out of your side to abide by the quota even more if you want to strengthen them

Agreed! I think Championship clubs get away with it because the majority don't have academies.

I'm hoping from O'Carroll's most recent interview we can keep Pele.

Agreed re; Pele, creates major problems for Championship level sides.

I would assume Fulton will leave on the basis Gee, Donaldson and Waine have signed (granted I suspect Waine will play at Prop). Add in Appo, Peposhi.and with Jacob Bateman pushing for a spot you would hope that position is covered.

It's not often that a SL club is willing to use up a precious non-fed spot on a championship player, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Would depend how much of a physical side you want

LBB
Pele
Lawrence
Scurr
Smith
Michael
Mason

I really dont think Waine will go in that front row

Waine had a good game against Leeds. Scored a try and played a big part in another one. I am looking forward to seeing him play for us next season that is for sure.

Lawrence won't be there next year, I'm pretty confident of that. Also, I have a feeling that Smith will hang his boots up too.

Oh icon_wink.gif

For me it's an important re-signing even if he doesn't play every game. We've seen how we are when we've no expereince the field.

Lawrence re-signing is great news!

Lawrence is what we need in the squad. You notice his qualities that the team lack when he isn't playing. Very good leader and solid player.

Well it shows how much I know! Good resigning if he can get on the field.

Worst timed post ever







Genuinely never thought he would re-sign as he has been plagued with so many injuries. Didn't think his body would be able to go another year.

If he is able to get out on the field, then it could be a good signing but is that likely based on the last two years?

Franklin Pele has extended his stay. It’s just been announced at the Player of the Year awards.

Confirmed squad for 2025:
Gill
Keyes
Lilley
Scurr
Smith
Ott
Gee
Hallas
Jowitt
Meyers
Okunbor
Baylis
Mason
Appo
Bateman
Peposhi
Donaldson
Waine
Lawrence
Michael
Pele

Biggest Season awards I’ve ever been to. The reserve prices on the silent auction though - wow!

Tom Holmes has extended his deal for 2025.

Think Mitch Souter should be on there

If my maths is correct we have signed up
8 props
6 back rowers
2 Hookers
3.Half backs (I’m including jowitt)
3 Three quaters
1 Fullback
So far for next season

Need 1 half, 3 threequarters, 1 back rowers and the next traunch of academy stars

James Meadows still to be officially announced but that would take us up to 4x half backs (although I really don't see Jowett as any more than a last resort there).

Looking very light in the backs so hopefully we have some decent news still to come. Hopefully Jorge Taufua re-signs and Franco has been impressive since his loan switch so fingers crossed there.

I see Maizen is no longer playing at Haven. Maybe we are still on to sign him. McGowan signed another deal at Hudds.

Wonder if we have signed meadows heard yesterday we had signed a young half back from Canberra raiders for next year.Not sure how true that is though .
