I'd be happy with two. I think we can find our own Talaki from within our own ranks.

In true Tigers fashion, we'd probably land Tolman, Graham and Moylan all on big multi-year contracts! 🤣

Is the POM one person or, is it a username for the person who happens to be the POM for the update?
He or she is a member that seems to have some pretty solid insight.

It’s always a big deal when they pop up and give there info because it’s normally spot on

Is POM one person or, is it more than one person using the common Username/Login POM? I'm just interested to know and realise an answer may not be forthcoming.

The recruitment unspectacular but good. Obviously losing our two back rowers next year is going to leave holes on the edge that need filling. This year we have had so many injuries in the centres and it feels centres get a lot more ball these days. We have the halves and hooker covered. Probably only one middle short.
Hastings and Starford To'a were signing that i did get excited about at the time but have proved to be just what we needed. Don’t think Oliver Gildart was expected to be in the NRL side this early in the season. Obviously needs more time in reserves.
IMO we have a lot of good young guys in the lower grades that are playing up in SC. Need more proven NRL level players. Strong edge being the priority and fullback cover. I’d love Drinkwater.

After about 7 years of being a dud…. Moylan has gone pretty well the last few rounds with Siosifa Talakai outside of him.

Always had the talent, but the issue is with his injuries. Only a matter of time until he breaks down again.

I’m not sold on this some times players after getting so many injuries just find a system that works for them and and they stop getting injuries it’s all about the medical staff and training methods
Following this weeks recruitment & retention meeting.
Nikora’s delayed/lacking response to the club has been brought to ahead following his management asking for an increase per year on our offer. He’s been given a take it or leave it response with no reply so far, another Sharks back rower in Jack Williams & Matt Doorey from the Bulldogs have been discussed as a target should this not eventuate.
Franklin Pele also appears to be a no go either due to higher offers elsewhere & focus has now turned to J’Maine Hopgood from the Panthers.
Jack Bird is a genuine option from the clubs point of view at the right value but they get the feeling we aren’t a genuine option for Jack, his management using us to hurry up the Dragons, not to say if the right offer comes in it might sway him, but don’t see this going much further.
Joe Ofahengaue has taken up his option for 2023.
Can confirm Sione Fainu is a top 30 player for 2023.
Only a handful of spots remain for the squad next year & lack of genuine targets has the club sitting back with money to spend & see who gets restless.
Sheens is hoping to pull a fast one on the Eels & securing the services of a young winger named Matthew Komolafe.
In relation to RE-signings as it stands only Tommy Talau has a 1 year contract in front of him & Jock Madden is negotiating with the club, the rest are free to find new homes.
Mikaele almost seems certain to be heading to the Dolphins.
Tuki Simpkins & Jacob Liddle have permission to look elsewhere.
Final top 30 spot is being saved for an outside back, the wait & see approach will come to ahead with this in the next 2-3 weeks as it must be filled by June.
Outside back depth/strike power the main focus for remaining 2023 spots, Tex Hoy has been offered to the club by his management.

Thanks mate! Any young ones coming through and really imoressing that the club will be looking at potentially signing up long term? Kautoga, Dev players etc.
The young centre Josh Feledy is on a development deal for 2023 & top squad after that.
Liam Scolari, Kitione Kautoga & Zane Camroux have also been short listed for development deals.
