NRL NRL 2025 General Recruitment Thread

Pull the trigger I reckon. Based on what we have available the next 2 years, and both Rog and Dal older it's almost certain we'll need our 3rd and 4th wingers plenty of times through out the year

If people think DWZ is bad defensively... Sloan is on another level.

 

[Noitall]

I don't see anyone taking him. His game is built around having raw speed at winger. But he isn't in the top ten in the league for pace.

There’s an acknowledgment of that on their forum and they think dragons will have to pay a hefty part of his salary for the remainder of his contract there. He comes off contract end of 2026

Dragons forum reckons Cobbo to cowboys. Apparently cowboys in talks with Sam Stonestreet too. Payten needs to get cowboys winning or his job is gone

 

[Blain]

He's shown time and time again he's not NRL level. Dufty 2.0. Will kill it in the ESL, don't think he'll get a contract anywhere else.

He actually had a semi respectable tackle efficiency last year over 24 games as a sample. Just a bit under what DWZ’s tackle efficiency is, and been around a similar tackle efficiency to his over their careers, though DWZ with many more years under his belt

Do those stats include where they don’t get a hand in them like half DWZ’s misreads?

Stats aye??

Your eyes should provide those stats. Think it’s a much tougher position than it gets credit for the wing. Don’t think I’ve seen one that doesn’t get it wrong and I feel like a big part of DWZ’s decline has been Berry injured. They have a good connection like Leiataua and Tuaupiki

A good stat to look at would be a 'with and without' Berry for DWZ, see if there's a bit difference either way in the way he plays
