Te Kura suffered a foot fracture on the weekend.

Maguire hopes he'll be back for the last couple of games of the regular season.

For **** sake... can this bloke catch a break.

Seems like every week something is happening to either him or Piaks

Surprised it's not his shoulder, he just about yeeted it out of socket here:
 
Te Kura did well on Saturday, he was clearly struggling and three hit ups in his 30 minutes stood out. I thought he had the flu but he toughed it out.
 
So this is what we currently have moving into 2026:

1. Walsh
2. Mariner/Karapani
3. Staggs
4. Shibasaki
5. Anderson/Arthars (off contract)
6. Mam
7. Reynolds (off contract)
8. Willison
9. Hunt (off contract)
10. Haas (off contract)
11. Piakura (question marks on head knocks)
12. Riki
13. Carrigan

14. Mozer
15. Hetherington (apparently re-signed for one year)
16. Te Kura / Klemmer (when Te Kura is inevitably injured) / Jensen
17. (Jibasaki - Just do it for goodness sake)/ (Lisati)

18. Bukowski (I assume)
19. Duffy (officially in negotiations)
21. Black (off contract)
22. Verhoeven (likely works his way into the backline in 2026 or 2027)
23. Rogers (off contract thankfully)
24. Semu
25. Arthars/Anderson
26. (Waqa - We got him for Redcliffe but I don't know if he is squad or development)
27. (Jensen) / (Klemmer)
28. (Lisati) / (Jibasaki)
29. Karapani / Mariner
30. (Symonds) / (Lisati)

31. Bryce (I assume)

So, basically while we don't have much x factor there, we are well set in the backs. Watching Herbie and Cobbo carve up for The will hurt though, man.

We still have a thousand hookers and if we get Duffy with Black progressing, we are ok in the halves.

We are REALLY light on in the forwards once again. So our R&R really needs to do some money ball signings desperately, especially given Te Kura is always injured and apparently might want to leave anyway.

Signed 2026 middles:
Haas
Willison
Carrigan
Hetherington
Te Kura
Semu
Waqa

Signed 2026 second-rowers:
Riki
Piakura
Bryce (maybe)

How can our second-rowers still be such an issue three years later?

Players who I would love to sign if we could somehow make it work:
Jibasaki obviously
Lisati
Klemmer
Suluka-Fifita
Afoa
Greig
Symonds (apparently has a mutual option at The and he was with us right? Bring him back)
Fermor (if he is being shopped around - snap him up)
Alick-Wiencke

Obviously, for 2026, depth should be okish to pick up but the issue will be its going to be much harder come 2027 with Perth coming in.

My picks to strengthen the squad (bracketed) above.

We STILL have one or halves / hookers too many. Rogers contract is just awful. How he got three years I will never know.
