Unlike last season , when we all knew the least worst 17 , there is genuine battle for places, roll on next year.

To be fair there was huge optimism about our new signings last year. Arguably the Croft signing and the prospect of Miller (etc) were generating a lot more excitement than those in place for 2025. But maybe the absence of similar hype this year, combined with general confidence in the way Arthur wants us to play is a more stable position to be in.

Did anyone live up to expectations last year? Arguably only Miller (in both good and bad ways) and Frawley (mostly bad) did. I hope we get more out of Ackers and Croft in 2025.

[quote="Jrrhino"]So it's all gone a bit quiet on the recruitment updates for me it makes sense with Blease coming out this week saying recruitment is pretty much done, my source did say to me the club planned for Brodie Croft leaving but they we're bery firm on Croft was only free to leave if the Dragons met our demands so fair play to the club playing hardball with our own players hence why St George signed Illias from the Rabbitohs instead.

Leeds drafted a 3 man shortlist with incase Croft did leave apparently it was between Jackson Hastings, Jayden Sullivan & Anthony Milford but it seems nothing will come of these as Croft is reportedly happy to see his contract out with us.

The Bateman deal I posted a little while ago seems pretty much dead he seems a difficult character to strike a deal with. West Tigers seem struggling to even find out if he wants to stay with them or leave. We are still looking to bring in another forward if the right deal can be struck but Arthur is more than happy with his current roster.

I expect us to announce our squad numbers in next week or two leading upto the boxing day game. I'm gonna say our squad will look like this.


So Leeds drew up a shortlist for Brodie, who Shane Flanagan openly said he wasn't looking at, and in that shortlist was Jackson Hastings who doesn't play 6, Sullivan who is on outrageous money and nobody wants and Milford who is that bad that Leigh didn't want him and dolphins offered him a minimum wage one year deal?

Sounds good.

Apparently, Perth are likely to come into the NRL in 2027, followed by a PNG team in 2028.

It'll be interesting to see how the new NRL teams go. Flying long distances to play games is a real handicap. I remember John Monie saying in his biography how difficult it was for the Warriors and their flight time is 3hours 40 from Sydney. Perth is over 4 hours and Port Moresby just under 4 hours. Not ideal preparation or good for recovery.

A few of the better players in SL are likely to become targets for NRL clubs as they seek to make up the numbers but can't imagine the PNG team being a draw for anyone other than PNG players really.

I think there's talk about PNG getting cap exemptions to try to to convince players to sign. Although, I think they'll play a lot of their home games in northern Queensland.

Looks like Littlewood`s going to miss a couple of months of the season due to him having surgery on a hamstring injury he sustained in training.
Similar injury to Miller I believe.

On the bright side it looks like Miller is recovering well.

Always the risk with tough pre season training.
