Bumped into him a week ago and had a chat to him. Really nice and approachable bloke, he said he was aiming for sometime around round 18...

He re-signed until 2024 yesterday
They have been, my issue with that is it leads down paths of us not being in control of our own roster & given how many roster spots and cash we have free at some point an element of something better than nothing will happen. Tapine would be great but the talks have been around for ages - just can't see the Raiders letting him go, they haven't hesitated to let players go before.
I would stay clear of the Warriors forwards, players like Aitken are serviceable he isn't better than what we have & we need upgrades if we want to move up the ladder. Someone like Walsh though would jump all over.
Max King has been great at the Dogs.
No nonsense, hard running prop.
Great options.
Sloane should be given that RTS treatment...
Brought through on the wing for a few seasons then move to fullback.
Mismanaged at the Dragons.
Looks like a young Addo Carr...
Imagine a backline of
1 Laurie
2 Sloane
3 T'oa
4 Kiraz
5 Scolari
Speedy as
If we added Sunia Turuva to that list wouldn't look half bad at all and would show a clear intent on our strategy & what we will be known for as well.

I hope we re-sign Garner. He is starting to come into his own in first grade.
Did you watch him last week in the televised cup game ?
He tore it up.
Surely he doesn't want to be back up at Penrith forever.
Dolphins will come knocking soon...
We should make a play like Newcastle did to Ponga.
Pay him on potential and take that risk.

The risk is playing in the NRL week in week out.
We took a risk with Gildart but he may come good.... or gome home.
Risks in everything....
Every signing comes with some risk.
IE: Matt Ballin - unable to play or Braith - massive diva.
I'd make this play though.

Back row and centre spots are threadbare we should keep him if possible nothing crazy though, he’s dependable bit like Chee Kam can come in and do a job.

He’s certainly got good breeding for the game. His family tree is full of good players.
He's at the Panthers, playing NSW cup
Fullback
181 cm
88 KG
19 years old
Fijian, yeh!
Did but I'm basing the suggestion actually on last 2-3yrs based on limited time to impress and this kid has been doing abit of it during that time. There are a few in the Panthers systems backswise that will be forced to move out to get NRL time & some of them aren't far off from being ready within 12-18mths at the latest.
Dolphins already in talks with Turuva

Matty John's recent article in Foxsports stated that he fears for the future of the game, particularly the bottom teams who struggle to recruit or retain quality players.
If the NRL doesn't do something about TPA or brown paper bags then I support his fears.
It seems to be a no brainer for the NRL to fix this problem but I recall a few years back a journo saying the only way the NRL can expand is to make it too hard for struggling clubs to cope financially forcing them to relocate.
I wonder, is this still a possibility?
WT are always struggling to attract quality players unlike the Roosters. Is our front office completely to blame?
I would find it extremely hard to follow the West Australian Tigers, geographically and emotionally.
