2022 Squad, Signings and Rumours Thread

I don’t see Marshall as a 14, unfortunately showed in the GF he slowed considerably, can’t defend in the middle and at his age big minutes is not an option….there is better Q cup options

Scott Sattler thinking that a Fogherty / Hodgson swap will happen.

It’s in the last few minutes of this pod cast.

On Benji it’s not a silly idea. Could be good for club and player.

[Hail Sezer]

I shudder whenever I see a Sattler recruitment take because he’s usually a mile out of the loop

News reporting that Benji is telling teammates he is retiring will possibly be making an announcement today.

Jack Cullen has signed with titans for 2022. I believe a development deal.

Not sure who he is or what position he plays.. any info on him?

Check out what mdrew has posted in the juniors forums. He is a prop from the same pbc team as weaver and Bryant. Was supposed to be the form junior prop (Aus schoolboys merit team this year)

I don’t think this is a development deal - more likely to be an extension of his JTS contract with some NRL pre-season. There’s a bunch of them in that age group on similar contracts for next year.

@Croc - Jack is a prop and part of both the PBC & Tweed MM state comp winning sides. He's from the same patch as Weaver, Bryant, De Groot, and Foran and has been with the Titans junior program for a number of years. From a style perspective, he's pretty similar to maybe Jai Whitbread - fairly straight up and down type player, good workrate, a bit undersized by modern day prop standards.

Edit: definitely not a development deal

Jeez I hope he is better than Whitbread who was basically awful for us.

Well, he's not on a full time contract so he'll only feature around training for pre-season and then be back at Tweed playing HDC and trying to work his way into Qcup there

Benchie Marshall retired.

Benchie Marshall retired.

Another one bites the dust and ending that conversation.

[Mr Bods]

Good. It didn’t sit right with me.

[Hail Sezer]

All the best to Benji in retirement, a true legend of our game and one that inspired a generation of Kiwis to give league a go when union is almost biblical in NZ

[JunctionBlock]

Hopefully he finds enjoyment in retirement that is along a different path to Manu Vatuvei

I'd still love for him to be Titan
