NRL NRL 2024 General Recruitment Thread

I wish it were. Leo is a beast. Him and Warbrick on the wings for the storm is going to be disgustingly good.

Coates????
Storm not afraid to teach someone via their Q Cup teams eg Warbrick spent a year playing for the Sunshine Coast Falcons.

 

[JaggedJ]

So Stevenson is too old for us to waste our time transitioning but Leo who will be the same age when he makes a move will be a fantastic buy who we missed out on?

Personally I'd prefer to develop our own, but just trying to keep up with the general consensus.

The Storm have successfully transitioned Vunivalu (albeit straight out of school) & Warbrick.
We have Mark Robinson & Mark Carter on our CV...

I think people are pissed off that RTS didn’t comeback firing from union?

Even the roosters new leauge convert made his debut a season earlier than anticipated and didn’t miss a beat.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Because incompetent recruiting and no vision.

Storm back themselves to turn potential into results.

And because winning

How dare you leave out Marc Ellis and John Kirwan.

Been noticeable that Joseph Manu obviously has his sights on his transition to union. Reminds me of RTS’s final season before he went

 

[Dannevegas]

Storm are willing to wait for him to join in 2026 & he will probably then spend a year in reserve grade, like Warbrick, before being integrated into their top side. If we signed Leo he'd probably start in Rd 1 for us next season & if he wasn't an immediate success he'd be at a different club/code within 12 months.
Wnning has brought the Storm patience to do things like introduce converts correctly

He’ll be 28 next year, he’ll be straight in the 13 I reckon

RTS was recruited and placed out of position which is peak Warriors. The Roosters recruit scored a nice try but was really bad defensively so he missed a few beats.

A lot of clubs could do worse than target both the Puru brothers. To the best of my knowledge Hohepa has a mutual option with the Raiders for 2025 & Niwhai doesn't have anything signed. Both only 22 (not twins though)

In hindsight, bloody stupid to recruit a daly M fullback then play him in a position he’s never played before and failed in a similar position playing rugby…. absolutely madness.. blind faith at its best.. chucking him on wing is also a stupid call.. he’s a fullback. CNK is far more adaptable at Center

Webby isn’t near as smart as we all think …

As I have said before I have always wondered if RTS was forced on Webster.

Didn't he invite Rts to breakfast and Rts said he wasn't interested until he gave a magnificent speech about the club entering this new era and wanting to build a Dynasty and he was a huge part of the plan? ....Hook, Line , Sinker! Nek minit...We stink to high heaven.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

With Walsh rumoured to have re-signed with the Broncs on a new deal (2025 is rumoured to be between 600k - 900k ) Then from 2026 on, a 5mil 4 year deal. Cap getting hella tight. Cappy, Hurry the fuck up and sign Willison please.

Titans now favourites for RCG apparently

Shock destination revealed for in-demand prop

'Most likely'

Matt Lodge rumoured to be going to rabbits. If his bucket list is to play for each nrl club, he’s nearly there

Open a thread to see where he ends up next!

I say Sharks, him and AFB in the same room would be great!

He must be a fuckwit aye

Apparently he had a 3 year deal with the roosters after he left here, but had a falling out with Trent Robinson and they pulled the offer. Makes me think Mark Robinson wasn’t completely to blame for the drama with Lodge here, though I hope he learned his lesson in partying with the players. Would have to be a prick to pay $700k to leave early
