2025 NRL Squad & Football Dept. Tracker

lots of clubs bend the rules and pay money under the table for the best young players.

We don't do that, we pick up whatever is left or rely on some good juniors to come through.
 
Now that the club is focussed on next year as far as announcing staff, I’d expect that we should be getting information re pathways & junior reps soon

Hopefully 🙏
 
My question on that then is who is out there looking for new young talent to sign up?
Who is doing the Ponisi/O'Sullivan role and finding the next big guns?
Something we seem to be lacking a little in recent times
With the reintro of WB, I wonder how recruitment will go ... will there be too much of a short term focus without looking at longer term strategies?
I think we all want big results and soon, but the balance (including getting/developing/holding top pathways players) is crucial.

Some interesting names in pathways. Michael Roberts, I assume, is the younger brother of James Roberts and was inititially signed by the Dolphins from school. Probably followed Wayne for an opportunity.

Thanks mate what sticks out to me is what we are all thinking no depth in the backs.

Thoughts:
- Keaon and/or Arrow must play in the middle. We are crazy thin there.
- It's definitely not a premiership winning 6-7-9 combo.
- Outside backs thin.
- Backrowers galore.
- 12 of 28 currently recovering from long-term injuries (denoted by *).

Looks grim when you chop it up like that! More than ever we’ll really need some guys to really shock us over the off season from Flegg/Cup.. or hope we fill those one of those remaining 2 spots with a May or JAC.

This is interesting detail.

Is Nazareth Taua any good? See he lined up as an edge backrower at times for Flegg last year.

Glad to see Biondo-Odo listed. I really liked what he showed in a game against us (might have been his debut?). At least provides yet another fringe 9 option. One with speed too.

Good to see Humphries will spend the summer with the big boys too.
