@joel hopefully heath mason and Tristan hope wont be renewed for 2027 🤞

I’d think at best they could only potentially be on NSW Cup contracts.

Why Terrell May isn’t playing for Samoa “I had to be selfish this time… it was a long, stressful decision after season review… I know I can do a lot better… after signing a long contract I owe them a lot more…”

(mayday pod)

Well done, good to see some club first actions.

@joel maybe in Vegas AD might be playing right centre or reserve grade for another team 🤷‍♂️ Surely he has to put the team first this time around? One things for sure he’s never going to be a 13

And a forgotten piece of the puzzle is also Josh Schuster.

Quite an impressive showing from Jake in the State Cup Championship. Whole Dolphins outfit looked good. He will be bringing a winning mentality with him.

Yep, very impressive. Would certainly throw a spanner in the works, or at least the discussions around the 6 and 7, if he was purchased to play five-eight.
