Which two? Heard some very good recruits heading to ironbank and numbers are very solid.

Morphies and Noarlunga?

I'm guessing he meant Ironbank as they'd lost a few and are lacking junior teams

Who have they picked up?

Luke Watson and Matthew Beinke.

SENIOR PLAYERS & U17's WANTED
We are getting close to fielding both senior sides for 2026.
To make this possible, we need committed players ready to pull on the jumper and represent our club. Without you, we will unfortunately have to forfeit one of our senior sides for the 2026 season.
If that happens, we will continue to rebuild and come back stronger.

Even when they had no intention of fielding an U17 team a couple of years ago, they still kept up the charade until the start of the season.

Talking about forfeiting a senior side at this stage is pretty dire indeed

Well hopefully they have learned from poor decisions in the past (pulling the U/17s) and they are only suggesting forfeiting and not withdrawing. Forfeit games if needed to buy time to pull some more players in (or double up to avoid a forfeit like other clubs have in the past), but if they take the soft option and pull the pin on their B's, I doubt there is a 2027 and beyond for them.

I've heard they want to pull the pin on their A's this year, if numbers don't improve, play B's only. Can't see them doing that though.

Wineflies also lost some talent in the Voights.
