Recruitment and Retention 2028

[Saints11]

I think they are spreading these rumours among themselves for the possibility of him signing elsewhere so they can run headlines to the effect of:

Dragons debarcle as Bostock signs with rivals​

What I know is the following:

• DA said we are done with recruiting for next season. I presume he meant big name recruits.
• Bostock said he has no special desire to return. Or words to that end.
• He gushes over Wayne Bennett. So much so if I was Bennett, I'd tell him to shut up cause it's embarrassing.
• He specifically stated he hasn't made up his mind. He said the rumour he's definitely leaving the Dolphins is BS.
• Ollie Burton is getting fast-tracked into the NRL. Or so it seems.

Of course I hope Bostock signs for us but I don't expect it.

I believe they’ve entered the race for Sam Walker you’d think that’s their main priority

I think Dean Young doesn't have the pulling power of Wayne Bennett. To state the obvious. So as of right now, I'd bet Bostock is going to Souffs. We can see Souffs aren't in a hurry to re-sign Mitchell, Wighton or Graham. You'd imagine old Wayne has something cooking.

Uncle Wayne is about to turn 77. Besides we've got Nathan Fien now, not only is he an ex-Dolphins coach but he even uses Bennett quotes at training!

Hope your optimism is justified.

Good points Eric

Plus we have signed Nikorima and I hope that they got on with each other at the Dolphins.
We know that in 2028 most of all of Flanagans signings won't be at the club. Money gained should get us a good centre to partner Burton plus some upgrades and maybe another quick winger and prop. The guys we end up with won't be club hoppers under Anderson. My view.
