2024 Squad, Signings and Rumours Thread

Since we have also reportedly signed Tukimihia Simpkins for 25 & 26, I'd presume that means we can expect to see Stimson depart now too from the top 30.
Do we have any news update on Ryder for 25?

Great list, T. How many Dev players can we have? Do we need to lose two to make room for Zane and Sam? Isn't JDG moving up to the 30 next year? Interested to know how you wise guys rate Oskar's season and where he should be next year.

Is Ryder better than Weaver already? If not, is Weaver worth resigning, or is CG enough cover? We've got AJ and JC that can play 6 and Randy was good there for one game this year.

I'm hoping Maumaulo and Tanah are elsewhere and Foran and Liyou can be talked back down to Dev. That'd give us some room to buy some quality first graders.

Does that make sense to anyone?
 
Just updating HS original from Page 1 of this thread ... 30 + 6 is my understanding and if DH would demonstrate how to get colour into this I would have got the red pen out. Having said that I just saw the colour palette :)
 
Highlights of the Schoolboy final with Zane Harrison. Lad can kick goals too! Also check out the girls game. Particularly the conversions from the Ipswich kicker.
2:30 -> Elite, elite, elite read from Harrison holy shit.

Young fella straight up moves like a championship halfback, looks pretty big too!.

Let's go Zane & Carter G in the halves for the next decade and ship the rest of these clowns off.
 
What do you think HS and Mdrew? Does Oskar deserve another Dev deal? I remember Sikahele was going well last year but how do they compare now?

Are we resigning Ryder?
 
This is purely speculation but Joey Johns has stated today that he believes Hunt is likely to come to the Titans for next year in place of Verrills who he has heard will go back to the Roosters due to Brandon Smith injury. Would not be a bad option as I think Hunt is a better 9 than 7 even at 35 but the rumour is conjecture.

Joey Johns is like a lotto ticket—promises a lot of excitement, but 99.9% of the time you’re left disappointed and broke. He has some cooked takes in him. If the club even for a SECOND considers bringing a 35-year-old Hunt on board, I will be pissed. We need a long term 7. Not a season by season one (i.e. Hunt & Foz). I'd also like to say we won't just let Verrils go back to Roosters without something in return but knowing this club, we'll let him go AND continue to pay his contract while he is playing there.

You wouldn’t consider Hunt/Foz as a transition period to mentor Zane and ease him into first grade?
