Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Raiders seem like a real toxic working environment. Remember what happened to George Williams? And the way John Bateman left? Williams especially got treated like garbage on his way out.

They have a good roster which they are going to throw away because they refuse to sack the coach.

They got a few injuries. Their roster is out of shape tho.

Hudson Young amoung a few others

Hudson Young eh @Demps youve been banging that drum a bit lately, seems like he’s a bit of a goer haven’t paid a whole lot of attention to him though.

He’s a beast

 

[tigerballs]

What have you heard ?

Basically told him he's our number one target and offered a top 30 spot for 2023. Sounds like we're pretty keen.

Can you provide some background information on him? I know he is the son of Adam Dykes and is a fullback.

So this is Kade Dykes the fullback from Newtown/Cronulla. Good stats in KOE cup - could put some pressure on Laurie.

Reminds me of Tedesco the way he runs - and no i'm not saying he is as good as him.

Sorry who is our number one priority? Euan Aiken or Hudson Young. I would be happy with both of them. Still need some pacey backs that can score points and a back up full back.

A big thank you to all the Forum Members with inside information. Much appreciated.

So to sum up the last couple of pages it appears WT have meet with Euan Aiken (Centre/Second Rower) - 26 years old with 143 NRL games and 49 tries.

WT interesting in some of the Faiders Clean Out Players

Joseph Tapine (turns 28 today so May the 4th be with you) - Second Rower with 146 NRL games

Hudson Young (23) - Second Rower with 55 games. Aggressive player. Was done for eye gouging in the past so hopefully that shit is out of his game

Kade Dykes - Young fullback from Cronulla and son of Adam Dykes. Back up full back needed

Matt Komolafe - Young Eels winger with speed and can find the line.

Whilst he has talent and plays hard I hope Jack Bird does not come to WT. We have signed these type of players before and have been burnt. Let's learn from the past.

Players leaving seasons end from top 30 (I have at least 9)

Leilua - Cowboys (one I hope we don't regret leaving us)

Tuilagi - Manly

Roberts - Dolphins maybe

Tamou - retirement or maybe offered one more year

Gardner - Penrith maybe

Mikaele - Dolphins maybe

Liddle - Parra maybe

T Simpkins - released.

Kei - released

We have only 2 confirmed signing for 2023 so lots of spots available.

It's what we all first thought

Just hard to get players away from Cronulla.

 

[full80]

Heard anything about Kade Dykes, development player from Cronulla?

Saw him play for Jets vs Magpies. Very sharp.

Get it done, could be our long term fullback

 

[earl]

Looks like the club feels we need a better option at fullback.

Players living in areas like Many and Cronulla would enjoy the beaches and cafes , but I think money still would be a major part along with a real chance to play top grade , Older players with solid history could go to these areas for a bit less and still enjoy what’s on offer , makes it harder for the Tigers but I still think we can purchase players for next year and complete well
