NRL NRL 2025 General Recruitment Thread

Ponga at the back.
Brown at 6.
Fletcher Sharpe as the steady , Mitchell Moses type half.
Leo Thompson is leaving but they can cover the loss.

Think there’s a club option for the last two years of his contract, so knights fans have talked themselves into it only costing them $200k more than his contract with eels for 8 years taking into consideration the final two on an option. They’ll be hoping later in his career that he can transition into a halfback because his speed will wane over his career and that’s a lot of coin. Could end up being a good plan if he can with all the top halfbacks close to retirement age. At the moment you’d think that’s the type of money for a player that can win you a game, but it might just become the norm?

Interesting that rabbits have signed Ravalawa for 2025 and he goes back to dragons for 2026. They’ve done this too with Jayden Sullivan going back to tigers

Basically how professional loan system works in European football. (in some cases the player can be called back before seasons end) but usually a loan for the season and then back to home club.

Quite often there is the option to stay on too.

I would like to see more of it.

I wonder if Ravalawa was in the Warriors thinking , instead of Harper?

I would have him over Harper all day everyday. He's a bit rocks and diamonds, but can turn some half chances into tries and can be a powerful runner out of the backfield. I don't know how much money he wanted though?

Harper mentioned he’s happy to slot in at centre or wing and I think Ravalawa can only play wing. Think it could be that we wanted someone who could cover both?

Rabbits seem to be the only team exploring this option. Wish Jesse Arthurs stayed when he came over for a season

Yea was popular a few years ago. We had a few covid ones.

Harry Grant had a year at the Tigers.

Knights wanted Zyon Maiu’u a couple of seasons back on a loan deal for a season. Risky they might not want to come back, but in hindsight might have been the best thing for him

Payne Haas not going to be allowed to get to market in November and broncos doing a deal to extend him at the moment. Sounds like at the knights KPP, Hetherington and Elliot are going to need to take decent pay reductions with Dylan Brown heading there

Would love to throw an offer at Ponga, but he’s already too well paid
