Tom Starling

... uh, 700,000 for next season.

Uh, and with the balance of the Sea Eagles roster, the other player who's getting linked there heavily is Tom Starling from the Raiders.

I did see that, yeah.

So I don't know how this is-

[laughs] Um, I think it's the backup that we're, we're lacking.

Mm.

Um, I know Simpkins does a solid job, and it's nothing against him, but I just think we need, uh, Tom Starling will add a different dimension to that team with them two.

You keep, uh, Brandon out there, and he just goes out, takes the sting out of the game- Mm ... and he's been phenomenal with his defense.

Yeah.

Gee, wouldn't that be an interesting story? Uh, speaking of, uh, the Raiders, now Manly have been offered the chance to sign Tom Starling to strengthen their depth at hooker.

Um, we know the c- the c- the Raiders have had, um, [tongue click] Owen Patti emerge this year, who's been incredible there a- at number nine.

He's got 12 months left on his contract there, Starling.

It's understood he has an informal agreement with the Raiders which could see him leave early.

The Sea Eagles have got Jake Simpkin and Brandon Wakeham there, who's been pretty good, Brandon Wakeham, as, as far as, you know, value for money goes, I reckon he's been pretty good for them.

Do you think Starling could add some value there on the Northern Beaches?

Beaches?100% he could.

Maybe he goes back to where it all started at the West Tigers.

Luke Brooks could be on the move out of the Manly Seagulls.

Speaking of Oompa Loompas, Tommy Starling's been obviously... suggested that he might come into that team at the hooking spot, which they desperately need at the moment.

I think the Manly Seagulls.

Roosters, Sharks, which we'll touch on later, because they're versing the Dolphins coming up in the Warriors.

And for the sake of the game, the Warriors... um made sure that we we had a competition and i think that's why the the the extra love is always there for the wires because people remember people remember what they what they get they done for our game and now they're everyone's second favorite team so good luck to them on um sunday afternoon

no brainer hey there's some player movement news tom starling could be leaving the raiders

yeah look i think it's just what merely need um really since appy left them in 2019 they've had great first graders in Lachlan Croker and Jake Simpkin and also Brian Wakeham at the moment.

But I think Tommy Starling is almost a rep player.

Brian Fletcher, like Fletch from Fletch and Hindy.

He reports he's hearing the Seagulls are interested in signing Tom Starling.

Now, he's talented.

Contracted with the Raiders until 2027.
