Recruitment and Retention for 2026

[RufusRex]

i just couldnt see us getting Barnett without giving up one of the kids ...
i doubt the warriors take Guler/Lawrie/Sele off our hands ... that would leave the kids and of them LPT immediately leaps out given he was born in Auckland as well.


That is a tough/nuanced decision - give up a bloke who has had some setbacks for someone that instantly improves us but only for a short time.

Wouldnt want to be making that decision - but if you were going to make that decision you would try to make it happen right now.

I'd like to see us get a couple more battering ram type middles with a lot of "argy-bargy" about them to let other clubs know who is boss!

And let go of LPT or one of the Couchmans?

When you have a look at our 2026 Recruiting , it hasn't been all that flash has it !!!

Other than KK who we have to wait 12mths for, we hoped and got nothing. Lost more backs quality than we gained too.

WTF Fox scribe. Hands off our young tyros.

It is understood that they (Dragons) have the funds in their salary cap to sign him (Barnett) and they also have a plethora of young forwards who could be traded to the Warriors if a player swap is demanded from Barnett’s current team.

If these guys can do the argy-bargy/battering ram stuff then no need to go outside. These boys can hold their own to a degree but they appear to not have the grunt and hard hitting to me just yet.
