Your not that naive are you Frank, you honestly think WB had nothing to do with it.

You look to have completely misinterpreted my post. lol I am saying Bennett had everything to do with Souths signing Haas and is given all the credit for Souths signing Haas. No one is mentioning Souths recruitment officer being the reason or taking credit for Souths signing Haas.
My post was in reference to posters saying it is Daniel Anderson, who signed Koloamatangi and Anderson should be taking all the credit for our signings and invalidating or dismissing Flannagan being instrumental in our signings.

both statements can be true
Anyone you fancy for 2027 that Souths are letting go? Peter Mamouzelous? We need hooker depth.
‘Massive story brewing’ at Bunnies after huge Haas move... and one rising star could be just the start

I'd take Campbell Graham if we could get him for 27 too. Assume he's over his odd injuries.

After last's weeks stellar performance by Kade Reed, there is now talk of other clubs "circling" if Reed doesn't get a decent crack at first grade soon. This is an article from the Mole saying he may not want to wait 2 or 3 years behind the likes of Atkinson and Flannagan. I know it is all media speculation. Here is a link to the article titled

Well the “circling” clubs can buzz off, he’s locked up until the end of 2028. His time will come no doubt.

cant believe the mole's tactics still work.. he doesnt even apologise for making clickbait titles to enrage fans.. there was one this week about (ex-dragon) glover getting the start over humphries.. i mean humphries has been injured for ages, im not sure how much (if any) he will do this weekend.
But this is his bread and butter content.. but fans cant help themselves, they click and comment.

Just checked, hes signed for 2026 and 2027. says 700k.. absolute gun.. ive never seen anything like his performance against us last year, from memory he saved 4 tries single-handledly just one-man cleaning up everything we sent that side of the field, I was infuriated...
That said I can say that Heidke will be the right ctr by then.. unless injuries rly rob him.. Campbell Graham could play right wing, but prob a waste of his skills.. dunno if hes ever played left.. but Souths players will be doing everything possible to stack that 2027 side and go for a premiership.
In terms of their other talents, I like Gray a lot but hes well extended.. not sure we need Humphries (who hasnt signed yet, a**holes have him on 150k).. the rest im not too fussed about.. they also just stole that young ctr Dean Tauaa who tore us a f***ing new one on the weekend in U19's.. on a dev contract in 2027, assume top 30 in 2028.

They are a bit like us Souths. Have only like 4 players signed for the 2028 season and 22 players coming off contract which is a league high
They’ve pulled their finger out in pathways recruitment because it was shocking for a few years but in the last 2-3 years they’ve signed some very good youngsters.
Taj Alvarez/Dayne Jennings/Dean Tauaa/Cody Hill all really promising
All this talk just makes me want the NRL to introduce a draft like the NFL.
Would stop the stockpile of talent at clubs with huge resources and be ‘fairer’ as it’s entirely on clubs to draft well and do their due diligence instead of signing a million young guns and hoping for the best eg. bulldogs

It had to happen, the media stirring up crap again. Lets hope Reed remains calm and focused without letting this shit go to his head AKA Sullivan.

Tallas Duncan would do me.

From the interview Reed gave after the game, he came across as very level‑headed. Hopefully he’s got some good people around him offering the right advice.

He also said he had been a St George fan all his life. He mentioned watching games at Kogarah and on TV. He looks to have St George in his blood and in his heart.

Extremely level headed and committed, his effort plays show where is mind is at and his commitment.
For various reasons I talk to Kade, his family, his manager and Ando weekly, the kid is going nowhere.
Kade signed his extension after LKT and Kyle had been extended and after Atko had signed.
That shows the level of BS in the Moles story.

That is a strong point, Mug Fan. Many young players would have hesitated to sign after seeing three more established players get extensions ahead of them.

The big calls will come at some stage this season I think, especially if there is an injury to one of the halves, lets not forget that LKT should be in the mix as well.

I would say Reed is going places, in a St George jersey.
