Recruitment and Retention for 2026

[Morgan]

Need speed. Across the whole backline. Flanno needs to get over his love of CT. He's ok but too slow to be a good winger.

CT would go well if his lack of speed was made up for with very fast centres and fullback. And was Tamale the worst player on the field yesterday? Only a bit worse than Ben Hunt.

Yeah, Tamale wasn't much chop at all. He and Hunt were the worst players on each respective club's team.

Yep, need to build around the yardage backs. His lack of speed get exacerbated when you have feagai, allan, gutho in the same backline. He compliments Holmes, unfortunately they were both injured quite a bit. Need to find some quality wingers & also a fullback.

Gutho probs has 1 season left at fullback, his form fell away big time in the last 6 weeks. If we could get even one athletic quick winger who can be an aerial threat to play outside of Suli then our backline would have good balance.

Who knows what happens in the recruitment space this off-season, still a bit of footy to be played. Injuries can change priorities for teams.
