You'd think it will be Sanders vs Black for the 7 jersey. Sanders will get first crack, with the aim for Black to push him?

Souths apparently the Sydney team Shawn Blore will leave storm for

Bulldogs release halfback, effective immediately

It's understood he has already commenced training with a rival team.

Interesting this young guy was only promoted to bulldogs top 30 last week and now has been released to dragons

Bit of a rumour Scott Drinkwater will sign with the bears

Surprised Perth haven’t gone all in on him. He would be an excellent addition to building a competitive team.

Shame we should be throwing $750K-1M at him, that's literally the missing piece

I think it’s all around him wanting to go back to Sydney?

When he's hot he's super, can create and adds a real point of difference. Can be piss weak defensively though.

Perth Bears set to lock up another signing

The move could play a major role in another key target.

Bears have signed Tino’s brother Iszac

 

[JaggedJ]

Also linked to Wishart, Liam Henry, Drinkwater.

For a new franchise a spine of Drinkwater, Wishart, Sexton - you could do a lot worse.

Especially if you have Tino/Henry up front.

Exactly. Simonsson changed his tune when he was reminded that Lomax wouldn’t be here next year. He is the replacement, and the Lomax money goes toward keeping the youngsters that merkins always whinge about losing.

Just consider this when mentioning the cap, none of the youngsters are on the NRL cap, so would suggest there is some real wriggle room for 2026.

If we don’t have that, then real questions need to be asked. KK if he is a available its for 2027, so that shouldn’t be in the calculation, needs to be some resolution to signings as there are I believe 4 positions to fill, but 2 before round 1 at a minimum.

Understand Ryles wants a player who fits what he sees as the right fit for the group as an individual as well as a player. The winger Taulagi is of interest, but he is looking at returning to NZ. So wait and see









Thought this was an interesting post about 15 minutes ago on the eels LU forum. Interesting the last part where it talks about Taulagi looking to return to NZ. Had been considered he was going to dragons but that’s gone quiet

He moved to Aus at age 11/12
Played for Aus 2022
Sounds like a bs line

Can’t see where he’d fit currently either? Even 2027 if RTS wasn’t extended, DWZ is still here with AKP on another wing as it stands?

 

[kos]

It’s a possibility
One or two of those three players could get injured
Dwz could get paid to leave - he is past his best
I don’t know much about Mellars other than he had good stats posted here
Murray is an ok player

 

[Falcon]

Listening to an interview on SEN league with Perth CEO, he said just because it hasn’t been announced doesn’t mean they haven’t signed anyone. Alluded to players wanting to tell teammates first and some hadn’t returned to training which suggests some experienced signings.

 

[Noitall]

Storm have signed Oryn Keeley from dolphins for 2027. They trying to get him for 2026 but dolphins won’t budge. They apparently preparing for life without Eli Katoa because apparently there’s a good chance he won’t play again
