If he lives up to they hype and strange stays on track the raider may have the makings of a dynasty spine especially if weeks keeps getting better they also just got brailey right?

One of Brailey/Starling seems surplus to requirements - albeit both signed through to 2027 - if you have a 2026/2027 spine of Pattie (will continue at 14 in 2026 you'd think with Brailey, or perhaps Starling, starting), Strange, Black, Weekes

 

[Five&Last]

Weekes, Strange, Black is an elite spine

I have a feeling Broncos will regret this

Pezet is really not that much more proven than Black.

Yeah I see Starling getting squeezed out or depth at this point brailey is a better player and person especially with such a young group there

If that's for Whytes compassionate release home then I'm very happy about this

Sounding like eels are a decent chance too? But certainly sounding like he may not stay at souths? All speculation

Canberra Raiders linked to Keaon Koloamtangi

Off-contract Souths and Kangaroos enforcer Keaon Koloamtangi is reportedly being chased hard by two NRL rivals as he weighs up his future beyond 2026.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported the Canberra Raiders will be in the market for Koloamatangi, while Brent Read revealed on Triple M that the Parramatta Eels are set to make a big play for his services

 

[CWC]

So Eels not as focused on NAS now?

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

If they call them the Chiefs they'll get a letter from NZ Rugby.


The players and their management you would expect would have more details on R360 and how it would work. From what the media are reporting there is a lot of unknowns.

There was talk of broadcasting on YouTube.

Also $15 million per team. A rugby union side and squad typically has more players than a league squad. That amount would need to be spread across a lot of players. The figure is also close to the speculated NRL cap for the new broadcast deal.

The players are meant to be centrally contracted and go into a pool. It will be interesting how they do their $15 million per team from there.

All of the players so far would be getting signed for more than they are on now. You'd expect there would be players who aren't stars or on a lower amount to fill out the squads.

The travelling competition sounds interesting. Can see it being a novelty and drawing some crowds initially. Can also see it played in front of empty stadiums.

Think it will end up being similar to the USFL or XFL when new leagues have tried to compete with the NFL. One thing the NRL and the union competitions have going for them. They are established. A known entity for broadcasters and sponsors.

Can nz rugby send a letter to Kansas City then! nz rugby once again showing why they are fuckne Muppets and thier product is boring.

Even watching the AKP insta reels yesterday, where the fuck are the all black videos!?

(No videos here mate! Cant have people seeing Barrett kicking the ball every two touches.)

[Noitall]

Eels, bulldogs, dragons, roosters and raiders all keen on Koloamatangi

 

[Noitall]

Bit of noise Papenhuyzen may join sharks in 2027

 

[Noitall]

Ramien and Kennedy to be squeezed out of the sharks, Ramien got a few interested apparently but cowboys seem to be leading the for his signature

 

[Noitall]

Impossible to know what’s fact or fiction but there are some rumours of Haas heading to r360 and broncos making a play for Tino. Not sure where it’s at with r360 and if it’s off the ground?

“There is a wonderful opportunity for him to have a long association with the Brisbane Broncos past his playing career as well,” Morris said.

“He has the chance to be an all-time great at the Broncos. That will bring with it some long-term opportunities for Payne at the club.”

He pretty much explains how they rort the salary cap at Brisbane HQ.

Sort of like we did with SJ…
