I think you're right. He's the pathways manager. Does that mean in charge of recruitment?

Not sure it was Peter Mulholland until he passed away. I'm aware Ian Millward is still employed

Found this news item
The club, who have employed Shane Flanagan in a recruitment consultancy role currently, have already re-signed Jack Bird, Jaiyden Hunt, Blake Lawrie and Jayden Sullivan on new deals this year, as well as both Feagai brothers in Mathew and Max

Probably not because they'd still have to pay him. Unless something, perhaps off-field has happened we aren't privvy to.

Peter Mulholland was in the Canberra system for a long time. I wasn't aware of him ever being in the Dragons system.
I guess recruitment comes down to a team effort. Basically, Flanagan in charge of scouring the land, especially the south coast area, for good juniors and Griffin in charge of recruiting/retaining already established or first graders or open age fringe first graders.
But both with input from various prople. Harold Matts and Flegg coaches and assistants for Griffin.
And Albert, like Jabba the Hut, sits on top of it all but doesn't do much.

Mulholland was with us from about 2017 I think until he passed away from cancer last year. Highly regarded

Well he did well with the others..cant win em all Flanno..
Not confirmed on our website but hearing Jacob Liddle failed our medical test. Does that mean he is not coming or has a chance to retake the test later.

So must be Under 20s. I have misread.
..not good news re importing a good prop as Jordan McLean is evidently staying put. Hearing he also knocked back a return to the Storm.

Well if Franklin Pele has been snapped up by Gould his prop partner Tom Hazelton was just as if not more impressive. He is a massive unit at 6' 6" tall and weighs in at 116kg. Played 19 games has scored 5 tries and avg 113m per game. Don't know if he is still contracted

Unless A. Js brother is a blockbusting prop.

A J is a good player. He has played mostly 5/8 and fullback which would mean forcing out either Junior or Sloan.

No luck a 5/8 like his brother.

I think Coric and at least one other Flegg prop will be in the top 30 next year. Maybe Aaron Johnson. Also a massive unit.

Keenan Palasia, Corey Horsburgh, Ryan Sutton. All props.
Palasia is a Qlder but his stats are moderate. Latter is a Pom looking to get some sun here. He can also tackle which is rare for one of them. The ginge Horsburgh gets my vote, is bigger, has a good engine and can offload. And I reckon a decent attack coach could get even better stats out of him. Need to move quick as his junior club was the Redcliffe Dolphins.

A massive unit is good but need some accompanying skills too such as an offload for second phase play.

Not to dissolution you but Griffin won't start Muhleisen a NSW Cup player until 24 has already said that obviously to keep his mate McCullough in 1sts so neither of the two you have mentioned will see 1sts either before 24
