Where does it leave Te Marie Martin?

Most likely a 14 or Q cup

Most likely a 14 or Q cup

Shame he has been pretty solid for them and is basically playing for nothing.

Slow and cardio is cooked

I wonder who is responsible for signing him to a top 30 contract next season and why they did? Doesn't make sense!

Pere is off contract this year also and good size in 193cm, 106kg and 23 years old

My dad is 190cm and 140kg…he’s a free agent

Has anyone seen much of Sione Fainu, top 30 next year

He is a big unit. Needs a massive off season/pre-season to get his fitness right. If he does that, I feel there is some potential from what I have seen of him. Scored a nice try if you see the highlights from last weeks Magpies game.

If Broncos do 'officially' sign Reece Walsh, we should go in hard for 1 of 2 players. Herbie Farnworth for 2024 & beyond to play fullback OR Tesi Niu for 2023 & beyond as a Centre potentially fullback. Both are class, fast & powerful. Niu is short in stature but will become a powerhouse as he's only 20/21 atm.

Cause he is a big unit who if is whipped into shape can really be a massive issue for opposition

Herbie is staying in Brisbane and Tesi might be our only real shot

The Mole reporting Flanagan rejected a big offer to go to ESL and play for HULL FC.

As I understand it, he heard Luke Brooks was going there so didn't want a bar of it.

 

[TillLindemann]

Hull were after Flanagan because their current coach Brett Hodgson is coming to the Tigers, you heard it here first.

A get the upside/potential but an upgrade into top 30 next season is a risk especially with other middle forward options to recruit. Or maybe a chance to eventually bring across the younger Fainu brother if Schuster has a mortgage on 5/8 in future.

Won’t be in q cup was just in the kiwi squad at - wouldn’t be surprised to see him at the warriors… back to playing 6 and a direct replacement for Harris Tevita

This is not from my 100% reliable Pommy mate, it is just speculation, but it is really solid speculation, the kind of speculation you can bet your house on.

Herbie signed 1 year because he wants a crack at fb. After being promised one last offseason.
He’s not getting that now…
Anything could happem

There’s that much speculation buzzing around KR atm it’s hard to know what to believe.
I thought Hodgos kids are in France and he went back to he closer to them…

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Hey @Lee's fedora, any word from your sources on which HM/Cubs boys we have secured for 2023 & beyond?

He has three other QLD teams to chose from, two in close proximity to his existing club.

Bet ya house on, but not ya tazos. 😁

True....
He's also from England.

It might be unlikely - But he wants to be a fullback and we need a Fullback...
And I believe he's a better player than the Fullback we currently have.

Does anyone think Jordan McLean would look good in a Tigers jersey?

yes, but not on a long-term deal. He hasnt shown he will put in when his future is secured. Though not sure how you could structure a contract to ensure he puts in.
