Both?

Wonder why sharks haven't locked em up yet. Cap must be stressed?

We’ll they did just bring in Hynes, Finucance and McInness, so it wouldn’t be surprising if they’re under some cap pressure.

Yeah not sure, thought maybe moylan, grahame and fafita off contract next year would help?

Madden for Schuster or Olokoatu?

why would Manly do that? Schuster will be at Manly for life.

Nikora

Maybe we've upped our game in recruitment with Sheens and McDonnell. Having someone of Sheens' stature being able to recruit is a significant advantage for us over rivals.

Even better to hear what Talkin Sport P Tunks has to say today after bagging the Wests Tigers trial form lol

Do people still listen to that show?

Brown paper bags?

I have a mate who does some part time work with junior rep players for one of the big player managers. He said the player managers like Sheens, and have confidence recommending their players look at the Tigers.

Pele and Nikora would be upgrades on Mikaele and Tuilagi.

Yeah just saying it's a bad move by sharks not Locking them up already, must be under some stress.

Nah, lets get Tommy Turbo.

Agree with Mikaele and he has had plenty of time to prove himself. Not so sure on Tuilagi. Based on the two trials, I think he could develop into a superstar.

I'd stay away from Wade Graham .. last legs .. can't even put two words together to make a sentence, let alone any foot work .. !! A big NO thanks.

Franklin Pele on the other hand is big YES thanks .. !! 21 years young, 6'3" tall and 121kgs .. with a good work and can put two words together to make a sentence .. ;-) Plus on a bonus side has tattoo's right up to under his chin .. !!

Brooksy should consider investing some tats..
He'll fit in, everyone would be afraid to run at him 😂

Pele in for Tamou. Nikora in for Leilua. Plus Api and Papli'i and the youngens we already have. Great pack for 2023.

BUT...

We're still missing a strike centre. They seem to be instrumental for success in the modern game...

From The Mole

The Sharks' Kiwi international Briton Nikora is the latest player on Wests Tigers' hit list.

Nikora, one of the premiership's best line-breaking forwards, comes off contract at the end of this season and has not been able to agree to terms for a new deal with the Sharks.

The Tigers are keen to sign the 24-year-old New Zealander, who has played four Tests for his country and also represented the Maori All-Stars.

The Tigers are slowly but surely building a top eight side under head of football Tim Sheens and recruitment manager Warren McDonnell and also have their eye on several other players for 2023.

Sea Eagles could benefit from logjam at Tigers​

One player the Tigers risk losing is former Australian Schoolboys skipper Jock Madden.

Madden played a starring, if brief, role in the upset win over the Roosters last weekend and is highly regarded by the Tigers.

But with the young playmaker's path to the top grade blocked by more experienced players like Luke Brooks, Jackson Hastings and Tyrone Peachey, rival clubs are set to come knocking.

Don't be surprised if Manly, with little playmaking depth behind veterans Daly Cherry-Evans and Kieran Foran, have a chat with Madden's management about next season.

Jock Madden is the next to pattner Hastings.

He is one of the best halves prospects in ages.

Has the skills, the confidence, the ability to make the right descission when its needed.

He will get better.

No way he is allowed to walk.

Not yet mate.

I'd very very interested in the Sharks' Kiwi international Briton Nikora if we could get him at a good price. Quality player.
