Recruitment and Retention for 2026

Not a chance haas leaves brisbane.

He’s got full custody of his baby brothers as his parents are in jail/dead so they wont move

Add on top that he plays for the biggest club in the league + massive third party deals etc.

For him to even consider leaving brisbane a team would have to start the offers at $1.5m+

Are you kidding? If Haas shows a sliver of interest, I'm selling the house, the silverware and the favourite child to get him here! He is the forward to take us from mediocre to competitive.
He's a very good prop but they are talking as much as 1.5mil a year. For that, I'd only want the best 80min spine player. Especially because we have a number of good front rowers who will be at their best in the next 2 - 4 years.

Haas is the best prop in the game and looking for premierships as he has always said... we are nowhere close to a premiership window.. its def not us, not even worth talking to him.. go for someone achievable and go hard

I'm always hopeful. If LKT and Reed can provide a good halves combo, and I think their games suit each other, I think we'll be very formidable soon. Also need LPT to be that good, big-bodied prop jodragon40 jodragon40 always talks about. Then there is fullback as Gutho will be at the end of his career. A lot has to fall in place but I think this is all highly possible.

He’s still a bit raw, Definitely won’t debut this year IMO

Also, Scott Fulton as a potential recruitment manager?

I don’t know how I feel about him, his time at the tigers had a few hits and misses

Is he on our radar or did he knock us back a while ago, cant remember.

there was talk but can't remember the outcome, hear different things about Scott Fulton some good some bad, not sure what his character is like, but in a positive he got some good players to the Sea Queens..
Yeah
I think his name came up but the board wasnt too keen due to some happenings in other clubs, I thought Millard was in that position. Good to see you here mate.

Isn't this supposed to be under the radar of the head coach? Head coach installs who he wants.

Yeah you could be right, but when we were trying to get POS the board had a lot to do with it. I still dont know where Millard sits in this space.

As far as I know, Matt Head is Pathways manager and Millward is manager of recruitment. Is there anywhere one can see the entire staff of the football department?
