NRL NRL 2025 General Recruitment Thread

[Boats n Hoes]

AT centre you lose much of his aerial threat, which is amongst the most potent I have seen in the last 20 years of football.

Threw his toys out of the cot when Flanagan shifted him to the wing so signed elsewhere.......turned out to be the best season he's ever had with NSW and Australian debuts.....doubt he'll be as effective moving back in but the ego wins out

Wouldn’t be surprised to see JAC where Russell is

Yeah, that team list might be an older one before JAC signed? You would expect him to be there round 1

Captain is going to be an interesting appointment over there too. Gutherson is going to leave a void, and you’d expect Mitchell Moses? With clauses and the potential to change teams, he may not be the answer? Some saying Hopgood? Then there’s goal kicker too with Moses and Lomax pretty good

Sounding a bit like panthers back rower Harrison Hassett will be joining tigers

Sounds like a superhero alter ego xD

Highly regarded young guy, listed here amongst good company of players coming up or already making an impact. Good score if there’s any truth. Tookey mentioned eels recruiting well, tigers have been the best recruiting team I reckon as well as eels, they’re building a good team picking up some good youngsters to go with the talented ones they’ve already got as well as experienced players they’ve signed

Staggs to Wahs confirmed.

Interesting regarding Leo Thompson. In this article he’s listed at 6 for signings for 2025. Does that mean he’s departing knights for 2025 season, or departs at the end? Also interesting that 10 day period finished a couple of days ago where raiders were expecting a signature, and that article mentions bulldogs coming back to negotiations, but have just confirmed their roster for 2025

Also, no James Fisher-Harris in that list?

No room for the current kiwi captain and 4 time premiership winner?

This list lost me when it mentioned Josh Schuster

 

[JaggedJ]

JAC is suspended for round 1 which is why he's not included in the Eels predicted team.

White line fever on and off the field.

 

[Tragic]

This list lost me when it mentioned Josh Schuster

For sure. The only reason he gets a mention is they think Wayne Bennett will perform a miracle with him.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

For sure. The only reason he gets a mention is they think Wayne Bennett will perform a miracle with him.

And to Wayne's credit, he probably could.

But it shits me that a young fulla with a shit training ethic and hasn't lived up to his potential is billed as a better recruit than JFH.

I hope Webby's showing the team these kinda things. Show them what the rest of the comp thinks of us, give them another reason to want to perform

Does Richard Becht’s ( Warriors media guru) daughter go out with Staggs?

 

[Noitall]

Latest on Leo Thompson is it’s the raiders but they trying to get him for 2025. Could be a player trade to get it over the line?

From a somewhat credible online source.

Leo Thompson was believed to be a done deal at the raiders however rumour is the dogs have upped there offer by a fair amount which has swung the momentum their way of signing him







Turning into as much of a soap opera as Ben Hunt’s shift from the dragons

 

[BigUCE]

Leo officially signs with the dogs from 2026. I still don’t know how the dogs do it, signing players for unders.

Be interesting to see if this young guy stays with the sharks

No chance- he’s being set up as the face of the 2032 Olympics.

Leo who? Never heard of her /s

4 year deal from 2026. Wonder if the raiders wanted him from 2025 and pulled back once he wasn’t granted an early release? They were offering good money. Can’t see that forward leader at bulldogs that he said he was keen to learn off, why I thought raiders and Tapine were probably his destination. Bulldogs were supposedly where Josiah Pahulu was headed too, wonder if that’s still the case?
