Confirmed - Tito is 178cm or under 🤣He’s not that little. He’s 178cm. Just under 6ft. Great defender and runs hard.
I’d be going after a winger to replace Tupou and then Staines.

Anything under 185cm is small for an outside back these days. To'o is small for a winger but he compensates with his power. We already have a very small team, every small back needs to be payed with a big team mate and we don't exactly have a Tuqiri running around these days but maybe Nav or Lobb will eventually kick onHe’s not that little.

6 Fainuworry is where do you put Galvin luai and fainu ?
as long as Galvin wants to play 13 or Fainu 14 we are all good6 Fainu
7 Luai
13 Galvin or;
6 Galvin
7 Luai
14 Fainu
That is perfect mate! I was thinking along the same lines. Cheers mate, go the tigers!Well that was a really big ask brother, but no one can say that I'm not a reasonable person.
Hope this is to your satisfaction. 👍
Keeping Galvin happy is the key. Off contract after the '26 season; others locked in long term.as long as Galvin wants to play 13 or Fainu 14 we are all good
Staines & Fox to me are very similar classy speedy wingers. You have an attack that hums and they will pile on the tries. Solid & smart defenders. Fox of course more experienced and influential to the team. With regards to tackle busting, unfortunately they are the same too which is our issue when returning kicks. They are a little more effective returning with ball in hand threatening to pass.. if they tuck that ball early they just got smothered often backwards. We need at least one thats like To'o to replace the dolphin. Both our wingers to this stage arent really getting much chances yet, scores are more or less thru the middle. But you get that backline humming and staines will kill it. Love fox but no for me unless repacing Staines.I’m not sold on JAC. He’s busted.
I rate Faataape and reckon he will continue to come on.
I think 60-80 minutes in Flegg or NSW cup is best for him at the moment. Whoever plays 14 is likely in for for 15-20 minutes in NRL and probably not great for development. I think he'll be needed during the origin period, no need for him to play NRL until then unless something happens to Api IMO.The forgotten man at the moment is TDS, he is going to need some bench time to keep him interested. So how they manage Latu,Bud and TDS is not going to be easy.
Maybe that's because of the quality of the men inside him?Do you really need that? So far, I haven't seen Staines' speed serve any purpose at WT.
I've seen both Tupou and Bula chase down players from breaks but not Staines yet.
IMO we need to find a way to use his speed, if we can't do that we're better off with a metre eater winger.

Alaimalo out of favour now?I’m not sold on JAC. He’s busted.

The others are only a year longer.Keeping Galvin happy is the key. Off contract after the '26 season; others locked in long term.
Sounds like his transition is harder than anticipatedAlaimalo out of favour now?
The recent game I saw him play on Fox, he lacked aggression and enthusiasm. He was dominated by blokes half his size. There might be something there but its a long way off or I just can't see it.Sounds like his transition is harder than anticipated
Yes agreed but will that keep him interested knowing API is around for a few more yearsI think 60-80 minutes in Flegg or NSW cup is best for him at the moment.

I think he'll be needed during the origin period, no need for him to play NRL until then unless something happens to Api IMO.
Similar story for Latu IMO, needs to play minutes.
Nothing to do with a transition, all he has to do is use his size to advantage by running hard and tackling hard.Sounds like his transition is harder than anticipated
Alaimalo out of favour now?
I’m not giving up on him yet but he’s further off than I thought. Don’t know where his confidence is. Needs to score a few tries I think.Alaimalo out of favour now?
22yo, rangy with a bit of pace, and from the limited amount I have seen of him he just looks up for it. Looked good in the trials and scored a hattrick against the Magpies in KOE.
Could just be good against average opposition, but he is also stuck behind some very good centres at Canberra. He's worth a try, seems too good for reserve grade.
