Why dont you just write jake tierney the hooker?

no surprise really as they have lost their hookers. I think 4 of them arent with gordon anymore. Gordon have signed a fair few players though from what i heard - cash is king with all clubs though so, it is what it is

Can see parra are starting to do some coach and player announcements. they jagged a good coach from eastwood by the looks. nothing overly exciting by the resigning announcements although retention never a bad thing

Nathan Panozzo & Cameron Wood from Gordan to Uni.
Ethan dobbin -Wests/Rebels now tahs to uni
Shaun anderson - GPS to sydney
Dane Terekia - warringah to uni
Moala (from france) to uni
Ben grant - allocated - Tahs - allocated to uni

I heard terekia, wood and panozzo got cash sign ons between 5-10k plus uni fees for 2025 covered

Id imagine a fair few other new signings too.

Uni could be a real threat for premiership

Is Norths the team to slide a bit? Shown they are a resilient lot but Gibbs gone to the Reds, Burey hung them up and some others are starting to get older now. That to go along with a pretty weak Colts group for a few years...

I haven't considered any pick ups which they very likely have made. Fringe European pros

Nope, Mr Cron in Western Australia has been helping Norths with some players. Waratahs just signed Felix Kalapu (ex force) and instantly he is with norths. They have also signed an english lock, plus a fair few shute shield (i believe from eastwood and others)

Eastwood can't take a trick recently. Probably not being helped by uncertainty around venues etc... even though it's not directly on the players it's not a great distraction.

Looking at the Tahs squad and Lock depth, I think Kalapu is a good chance of being in the tahs squad more often than not. Get to the finals and have a heap of guys come back I guess. O'Donnell will be huge for them even though I want to see him get some game time with the Tahs.

With this big influx of players likely to play first grade at Uni, is it also likely that some current players will also move on?

Not as across it as Harry is (love reading some Club goss) but Uni might be fine with that after missing the finals tbh...

They will have some depth though with the pick ups and a heap of young guys who got blooded last year getting older and more experience through the Super Rugby 19s. Doyle, Grover, Sharples all only kids but coming into a 2nd season of grade.

Sydney Uni sounds a lot like UQ in Hosptal Cup.
Both typical student based operations that have large movements and turn over of players in and out of the place each year.

So i asked around about this.

frean, zissis, tuisese, hokafanu, snook, stringer, tapine, maumalanga, schuster, talaieva, minogue, turner, carmichael, andrews, king, hickey, connolly, johnson, anstee, barnes, hickey, alofi, kaihea, likiafu, tau, nobeti, have all gone. quite a lot of players.

although i do think that a lot of the young guys that came through this year are pretty good and will be even better in 2025, plus i heard there has been a lot of recruitment from brisbane. i think they will go well in first grade in 2025, it might just be some depth issues.
