With the exception of Farnworth - who will 100% be signed by the Roosters - there are a few that Anderson will go after especially Bostock but until his signing is done and dusted (he could currently be in a 10 business day cooling off period right now with us or maybe Souths, Cronulla or Eels), or he could be waiting on the Dolphins to up their ante, either of Best, Campbell Graham, Mitchell would do OK for us, to me preferably Campbell as he is like Bostock and can play centre and wing.

Bostock is obviously a priority but TBH, I'm operating under the assumption Souffs are going to snare him or he'll stay up there.

This feels like AFB all over again.

Local junior who left for "Reasons"
We are in the box seat to get him back hold all the aces and get screwed over at the last minute by another club.

AFB on over a mil a year for another couple of years for the Shonkies? Good luck to them. Glad it's them and not us. But if we are a chance of snaring Bostock he'd be a massive loss but I think Souffs are in the box seat, not us.

Good question.

Whispers and rumours happen when there are players like Farnworth and Bostock free to negotiate. Nobody knows the truth until it is all confirmed one day. If neither of the two end up with us - then no big deal (saying this to save my hurt). Life goes on as per normal if the effin Roosters get involved. They get who they want and that's it.:mad:

Honestly, Bostock looks to me to be one of the best wingers but not best centres. Farnworth is the best centre. Just the way I see it. If we somehow jagged Farnworth, that would be unbelievable but I guess we end up with someone like Wighton or Campbell Graham. Both of those 2 are better than any centre we have now though should be careful about Wighton. He's about the same age as Holmes and that hasn't worked out.

I am not a fan of Wighton and if we miss out on Bostock and Farnworth (Farnworth we have no chance I don't think anyway) I would lean towards Campbell Graham as I have mentioned earlier. There is no doubt, and this is of course Deano and Anderson's thoughts as well, that we have got to jag a centre at least for 2027 in any case and then we will have Burton ready to go in 2028 as the centre on the other side. I would like us to have a tall, speedy winger as well.

Hopefully we have some good news in the next couple of weeks - fingers crossed.

Provided Wighton could come a year early and only sign for 2, or 3 with a club option, I think he'd be ok. Campbell Graham as well though could give him 3 years. He's late 20s, isn't he?

There is no way I would take Mitchell. apart from being past it and injury prone, he would destabilise the team within months.

Herbie Farnworth to stay at the Dolphins and Bostock to the Roosters. Dragons now unlikely.

What a whole bunch of BS, complete backflips on what we have previously been told, all under the banner of a rumor for protection. The sooner distinct trade periods are in place the better off everyone will be.

Yes, Graham will be 28 in June next year. Three years for him if we can get him for 2027 will mean he will be 30 end of 2029. Still a good age. Well compared to me it is ha ha!

Here's a fun fact. Jack Bostock played more games at centre in 2026 than Campbell Graham has in the last three seasons. For more wins.

Here's another fun fact: I never stated or suggested Campbell Graham is a better centre or winger than Jack Bostock.
