NRL NRL 2025 General Recruitment Thread

[Noitall]

How many spots do we have open at the moment for 2026?

22 of 30 filled according to the recruitment thread. 1 out the 6 development contracts filled too, so plenty of extending/promoting/recruitment to be done by 2026

And he is versatile enough to play FB and wing so surely must be a space available if the stars aligned

I think he could cover centre as well at a pinch.

Just from my own eye.
TT in his games made the Warriors better than CNK or RTS did in their stints at full back in 2024.
On the ball, off the ball, hit ups when required, ball playing, directing play, option taking.
Better then the much heralded Faalogo and Kini all facets considered.

Sure once he got the hang of it. In the first game of 2024 in my books he cost us the match. Afterwards he said the crowd was so loud he wasn't used to it and he couldn't hear Shaun call the plays and he was turning up on the wrong side of the ruck to where Shaun and Wayde were sending the play. It was frustrating to watch. He started to arrive after say game 10 in the season. Which is normal to go through an adjustment period.

Knights chasing Tom Hazelton as Leo Thompson’s replacement. Bulldogs believe they’ve got their man in Josiah Pahulu to go with Thompson and believe they’ve also got highly regarded knights fullback coming through Connor Votano

Looks like Karl Oloapu could be departing bulldogs for dolphins

Is he Tongan /Tongan heritage?

Is he Tongan /Tongan heritage?

Oloapu was born in Wellington, New Zealand and is of Samoan descent. He began playing junior rugby league for the Randwick Kingfishers before moving to Brisbane, Queensland. In Brisbane, Oloapu played junior rugby league for the Redcliffe Dolphins and attended Wavell State High School







Didn’t know so looked it up. Pasted is why it’s so ai looking

Explains why he is off / back to Redcliffe area.
There I was thinking its the Tongan coach influence at work.
Not so.

Would imagine it’s also further proof bulldogs have got Josiah Pahulu. Oloapu was seen as a lock getting quite big for a halve and they also let one of their most promising middles go to roosters. Brought not bred

Knights have been cunning with Tyrone Thompson now going from development contract in 2025 to a top 30 contract in 2026. If they play their cards right, he might be close to as good as Leo by then. Sounds like Connor Votano staying put at knights too. I’d stick around too if I was him, who knows what Ponga will do

We should be paying him for all the time he saves us trawling the net for Wahs news.

No worries to you guys, glad you find it interesting. Just an idea of things going on and sometimes way off the mark. Agree on opinions, like arseholes we all have one. Mine just sprays shit sometimes

haami loza - Google Search

Couldn’t find the pathways thread as probably more appropriate, but apparently young 7 Haami Loza has left the knights and come over to Warriors

 

[Noitall]

Knights fans feeling pretty sorry for themselves with the news of some up and coming halves being that’s what they’re after in their pursuit of Pezet. Young halve Jye Linnane has picked up another injury, they say Haami Loza has come to Warriors and another they’ve lost Zac Herdegen has been upgraded at cowboys and setting preseason records. They not feeling it with Jackson Hastings and Tyson Gamble. Does sound like Will Pryce is having a big preseason though

 

[Falcon]

Warriors are signing so many junior halves out of Australia. Says alot about the optimism of signing and established player to fill the position and a better chance to develop one and save some ca$h.
