100% yes to Staggs. I hate the bloke but only in a begrudging way because he plays for the Broncos and I want him to be shit, but he's a fucking animal.
100% no to Hazelton.

Staggs is living off several amazing tries from a couple years ago IMO. Doesn't look for work often, goes missing, defense is OK without being good. Should have stepped up last year but was pretty poor for a "star". He would also be so expensive - I would pass on him even if he was a viable option (I don't think he is BTW).
I meant this end of season time.

We represented in a few of these, TMM viewed as the best halve available for 2026, CNK 2nd best fullback available, Tohu 2nd best middle available and Pompey and Kosi in top 10 for centre and wing respectively. Really interested to see what our plans are regarding TMM and CNK being such important positions and them both great players

Yeah not sure I agree with some of the standings in the top 10’s but just more interested in where we’re seeing some players in our future moving forward. Would imagine that players who haven’t been extended yet have the opportunity to do so by impressing in 2025, but the ones that have are obviously considered apart of where we see ourselves heading? TMM is the biggest head scratcher for me

Hopefully TMM dropped some of his crays off at Webby’s house for Xmas to get in his good books

Finding that hunting segment of TMM’s on the Warriors instagram and his own interesting. Almost like there’s something that the club have been involved in that’s a big interest of his? Wonder if there’s an offer on the table? Would imagine that other clubs are interested? Seems like he loves it at home, but a couple of years on good money could be of interest to set himself up?Hopefully TMM dropped some of his crays off at Webby’s house for Xmas to get in his good books

I do wonder how much TMM has left in him as well. His run of form this season was elite level and then to get the neck injury was unfortunate. He has been through a fair few disappointments with injuries and then comebacks from them just to get injured again. He has his business with his gym, his hunting and fishing, etc. Seems to be a well liked member of the team and genuinely happy with others achievements. I hope he is extended and plays well. We need players that have the ability to produce attacking opportunities against well drilled NRL defences. If he wants to play on I think with the shortage of halves someone would pick him up. But would it surprise anyone if he retired from NRL either?

There is that potential and the hunting segment could be setting something up for life past league?
I reckon he's got a deal like SJ here. Where if he wants to play another year he will re-sign otherwise it's retirement. But maybe the injuries and things aren't worth it... Especially if he wants to stay hunting pigs. And who knows about how some more head and neck area injuries could effect the poor guy after the whole brain bleed scare.

I’d like to see a real attacking threat at fullback. Would like to see Tuaupiki get first shot, but if it’s not a success and CNK isn’t extended he could be an option for 2026 provided storm honour the agreement around Papenhuyzen and grant him a release?
How many spots do we have open at the moment for 2026?

If someone like Fa'alogo wanted to come here, we'd clear the decks I reckon.
Imo it won't happen, but I'd love it if Hughes brought him over when we eventually sign him for 2026....
I think Tuaupiki deserves first shot too. Not convinced CNK is the answer if Tuaupiki doesn't claim the spot. Can't see much future for CNK or RTS once we find younger faster legs.
