Recruitment & Retention 2027

[Dragon David]

I'm thinking that with all this stuff about Bostock being "already signed" and not staying at the Dolphins come 2028 will result in any deals being pulled off the table. With Daniel Anderson in charge of recruitment, we usually don't know until it is a done deal and it is confirmed on the Dragons website. All these rumours are just rumours as far as I am concerned and anything like what is being doled out in the media to me might turn Bostock off coming to us if in fact there is some "unofficial" deal struck.

Just don't get your hopes up just yet folks is what I say.

It’s not

I agree Rufus.

Couldnt work out why we would be chasing MBurton other than a centre if we miss Bostock... but hes an expensive one and I dunno not particularly athletic.

Bostock def leaving is interesting, seems like something is done.. qn is whether its us or he has a preffered club.

No one else is going for Bostock other than us right? Parra are occupied with Best

Seems like it is actually happening

My bet is Souffs will let Mitchell go and sign Bostock.

100% an option.. Bostock is in demand and he loves Wayne.. he genuinely doesnt seem to have any love for his old home so its really only if we are clearly the most compelling offer..

Where will guys like Latrell and Walker end up though is fascinating.. all that said Souths have Latrell v2 in their ranks right, and they always seem to have someone who murders us in lower grades... plus they need spine players.. can thry rly throw big dollars at Bostock? They also have Haas on the cap now.

Wayne knows how to get the players he really wants. He was able to get Payne Haas and cannot see him losing out on Bostock. Mitchell will be let go for sure. He spends more time on the sidelines or sitting elsewhere at the games rather than playing so not worth the coin and is wasted. Bostock can play centre and wing and maybe even fullback just what Wayne wants.

Not sure if this is nerves or excitement, but if we can land Healey and Bostock for 2028 and probably one more top-19 level forward and centre, I think we would be disappointed to miss the 8 (haven't thought that in almost a decade).

It is the hope that kills you, isn't it..
