2025 Squad - Speculation Thread

[Kernow]

So far observed retirement of Prior, Wells and Kaitu'u.
Was there any others?

Don't get the sense that Felete is retiring, just not signed for 25

Admittedly that one was off a social media photo saying something like "a chance to say goodbye".
At 29-30 you would think he will play somewhere yes, just not here.

I hope he pops up somewhere, when he's on-song he's a heck of a player.

I wonder how many others are departing at the end of the season, is Prinsep only injury cover?

It would appear Prior is also still open to playing on somewhere, though views Perth as "home" at this point.
To me that reads like finishing Overseas while he is still fit and then returning to Perth for a Force role, but obviously a total speculation.

Wells is returning to Sydney in the Legal system, which if his media release is anything to go by, he will be well suited to...

As with KB a year of relatively light duty can result in massive healing of the body. When the kids got back in the pool after the COVID lockdowns there were heaps of them making PBs despite having been land training. I hope Ian keeps connected to the game, he brings the "cement" like quality that bings all the bricks around him together - one of the absolute club legends IMHO.

Without commenting on the wider 2025 speculation; it's nice to look at options but from my POV Harry Potter is the best one @ 15 from what we saw before he got hurt. He can play wing but he was really dynamic from the back. A definite keeper.

Potter was having a great season until he was crueller by injury, real competitor for the ball and strong runner. Looked more at home in FB, I think he'd benefit from training around KB though (as I think many of them would) as it appears he's been a really positive influence in the training environment.
