NRL NRL 2026 General Recruitment Thread

I'd be offering Egan a reduced deal year by year deal but a future coaching and developing Hookers at the club.
Other players talk about his smarts so the club tapping into that would be smart.

Wouldn't we offer Egan less money as Healey and Taufua come through and develop further? Isn't that the succession plan?

Didn't realise Egan would be 30 by the time his contract ends, but even then id still think Egan at 32, 33 years of age for 30 minutes off the bench would be extremely valuable.

But Tafua is 22 in June, is he happy to be behing both Healey and Egan if theyre are resigned. Both are off contract in 2027 so can be approached come November, so im keen to see what we do. Its likely we wont be keeping all 3

I think it will be a case of making an offer that won't match another club who need an experienced player in the spine and he moves on. I like Egan but the head knocks and injuries are catching up with him i think and by the time he is 30 I would expect us to be looking at other options to replace him.
