I know people are fascinated with May & rightfully so but I would be looking at Sunia Turuva at the Panthers instead.

Especially since his cousin is joining WTs.

Apisai Koroisau.

Apisai Koroisau.

Would be a great signing. Can put pressure on Laurie at Fullback but can also play centre and Wing.

Turuva being looked at by the Dolphins. would love him at WT tho.

Good player. We should at least be making enquiries.

Have we got any word on potential players coming , we use to get some inside info but seems to have dried up, you would think we are chasing multiple players for next year

Braith says Dolphins have no chance of signing Munster. Laurie is going to become a hot property if not signed long term.

I still cant believe anasta is a player manager its so weird. Doesn't that role have any sort of qualification necessary, perhaps he has those dunno but it's still weird to see

2023, not 2024. they'll do the deal and live with Milford for 12 months before he heads across. Daine needs more performances like last week before either party comes to the negotiating table.

I think its means no chance for next year because he’s still contracted to storm till the end of 2023

Yep he said last night on NRL360 (also known as the Braith Anasta commercial for Cameron Munster) that they wouldn't ask for an early release.

Is Pat Pending coming to WT. Innovative player.

A bit slow off the mark but he gets there

How about the rest of the Wacky Racers?

Never can have too much speed.

With our backs we have zero chance to catch that pigeon.

Doueihi is a guy you want in the team, he cares and competes for everything, he makes others try harder.
He was safe at fullback but did not offer much in attack. He wasn't great at 5/8 but might be a fantastic 5/8 in a year or 2 with more experience playing at centre. At centre he also gives us a kick target on the right side.
He also offers a lot of versatility. If he starts at centre and you have a centre/2nd row type of player on the bench like Garner, the 2 of them cover an injury to 2nd row, centre, 6, 7 and 1

He got nominated for Daly M 5/8 of the year. Saying that he wasn't great last year is massively harsh. He carried the team's attack last year. After he got injured we were a shambles with the ball

I don't think anyone was seriously talking about Munster coming here.

The topic of Munster came up when we compared the combined salary of AD/Brooks would actually be less than what Munster would sign with a club & if it was an option would we prefer taking Munster over AD/Brooks. It's a mute point we would have a higher chance of Garry Jack playing fullback than Munster wearing a Wests Tigers jersey.

Re AD, alot no doubt is banked on the success of Hastings/Brooks over the next few weeks.
If we win more than we lose then I can't see Madge changing that dynamic anytime soon.

I think the halves will continue to shine if we keep the same blueprint:

- fullback, wingers and four forwards ran for 100+ metres (well over in some cases)
- every forward found their offload
- Luci and Noff running hard and busting tackles
- Able to defend errors and penalties in the early exchanges
- more energy on kick chase

This set a terrific platform for our halves that we haven’t had consistently. Hopefully this is the standard Madge is expecting now.

Bennett may well make a play for Douhie and or Brooks or both for 2024 you never know

 

[Merlot]

wouldnt doubt it seeing he's running out of top shelve 1/2;s to sign
