We need to remove Ice for 2025 and I think Kit Laulilii and Tony Sukkar need to be added as top 30 for 2025?

I also think it would be good to add in agent reference the the spreadsheet for each player. e.g John Bateman (Isaac Moses) What do others think?
There was a chat about the Tigers on the radio over the weekend and they said that Richo cannot alienate Isaac Moses if he wants to keep Lachlan Galvin.
Not sure I can remember the program.
The comment made me think about what agent relationships Benji and Richo are going to prioritise in the next 12-24 months?
By way of comparison, Blaise Talaugi is a Moses client and is currently being shopped to Newcastle and St George (clubs whose coaches are also Moses clients)
Jake Simpkin released effective immediately...
Leaves two free roster spots now.
Asu Kepaoa released effective immediately...
Leaves three free roster spots now.
Would be keen to see who manages who. From what I can tell Bateman, Galvin and Tumuth are our only top 30 Moses clients. I think I read somewhere that the gun centre Makasini in the juniors is also in his stable

makasini they need to keep him but I doubt we will.
Rumours Onitoni Large heading to rugby

We've sent 2 Wasserman players to Penrith this month and I will bet my last dollar that Stefano joins them shortly.
We got a lot of Crown signings when Fulton was with us.
If you read through Souths signings when Richo was there a very high % were Ayoub clients. Ayoub did not deal with Pascoe etc under the old regime. We did well to keep Jahream for this reason as he is with Ayoub.
Next year there are just too many players with less than 10 first grade games in the Top 30
Miller
Da Silva
Faagutu
Laulilii x 2
Saukuru
Sukkar
Feledy.
This is such a sad indictment on Pascoe and his negotiating skills. A squad with this many rookies in the top 30 should be way under the cap. We have overpaid these rookies and/or the other players in the squad.
Its going to be so difficult for Richo to upgrade the squad. Yes he is moving players on but their places are taken next year by the likes of Sukkar, Saukuru and Luke Laulilii who should be on development contracts at best.
Klemmer is also with Moses. Makasini is with Tartak.Would be keen to see who manages who. From what I can tell Bateman, Galvin and Tumuth are our only top 30 Moses clients. I think I read somewhere that the gun centre Makasini in the juniors is also in his stable

I'd personally let the Laulilli's and Feledy walk. We have too many rookies for next year and something has to give. I cant see these guys making it as they are just not big enough physically.
With Makasini, Large and Nav Willet among others pushing for 2026 NRL playing time there is just not enough room. These guys the year below have size that you need at NRL level.
We could offer up the young contracted juniors to a club like Cronulla who can offer experienced forwards in exchange.
Adam Doueihi extended until the end of 2025

I agree with this, that the issue we have is too many kids in the top 30 next year. At this stage we really only have 15 first graders for next year.
We are relying on these kids really pulling something big out over an offseason and/or Richo to drag some quality into those last 5 spots.
Who are the development players stepping into top 30 next season? Is Luke Laulilii one of them? Lobb top 30 next year? As it currently stands how many spots available?Adam Doueihi extended until the end of 2025
