philthompson on Redvee linking you to Justin Olam and Tom Burgess. Olam is contracted till 2026 and Burgess till 2024. Burgess is meant to be very annoyed with the NRL and is believed to know your new coach well enough.

They're not going to come over here to be down the pecking order to King and Dudson, pointless signings.

Wondered how long it would take before Tom Burgess got a mention!!

Re: Recruitment rumours and links : Thu Aug 17, 2023 12:47 pm  

Olam is interesting as despite the long contract he seems to be unhappy about being dropped. I do feel some competition for centre places wouldn't be a bad thing, but not sure I see him moving but interesting anyway.

Olam and Burgess (of the Tom variety) would be absolutely belting signings, both possible but highly unlikely.

I'm getting a bit tired now of seeing who we are linked with. It is so easy to create a rumour. We have Lachlan Fitzgibbon, King & Dwyer coming so far. Clark is leaving us. Have I missed anything?

The following players are out of contract; (OP) means an option in the clubs favour.

Ellis Longstaff, Peter Mata’utia, Greg Minikin, Matty Russell (OP), Adam Holroyd (OP), Jack Darbyshire (OP), Jamie Reddecliff (OP), Luke Thomas (OP), Aiden Doolan (OP), Bobby Shingler (OP)

Longstaff is all but gone, hopefully we will see Mata'utia & Minikin move on, all the (OP's) hopefully stay.

Just as an aside - for the supposed money he is on Russell should be signed up again. No I wouldn't have him in the starting 17 but as a back-up I think he offers excellent value for money.
