Recruitment Warriors 2026/2027 Recruitment & Retention

[Dannevegas]

We made the right call on NAS. Storm never lose the players they want to keep. So if they are willing to let someone go, more often than not it's a negative signal on that player. Kalani going (sorry for the pun) is unfortunate but not unexpected. We have enough short stocky forwards with good footwork and an offload. Wish him luck on whatever his future holds. Has been a great servant for the club.

Forwards are not our issue. We are a quality center and winger short of being a contender. AKP could be that winger. Wouldn't mind having a crack at bringing Jesse Arthurs back given that he is behind the pecking order at Brisbane.

Jesse Arthers would be a good get, seems to much of a rockstar to live in Auckland tho lol.
I might be wrong but I heard when he was loaned to us he was keen to stay but Brissy wanted him back.

Jesse as FB? Pretty good under the bombs, tho made some mistakes this year probably why fell behind?

Isn't he a centre/winger? That's where I would put him. He was a scapegoat for the Broncs awful form at the beginning of the year imo. Would be an upgrade on our current centers imo.

Meh. A solid 7/10 in a long line of 7/10 players for us.

I guess with Gannon coming to play NSW cup, this makes sense

And 3.........2.........1.......... here come the seagulls.

My take away from this.

As soon as they signed Gannon I knew it was curtains for him.

Gannon will spend most of the year in KG’s jersey with Sikuvea to start when Gannon gets the occasional call up.
