Sweetener = G. Williams or J. Welsby possibly???

G Williams is more than a sweetner.

 

[Westsboi2019]

An announcement as early as next week could contain information regarding John Bateman. This announcement just might contain a little sweetener if everything goes to plan over the weekend.

Players Daine Laurie, Adam Doueihi, and Alex Seyfarth have not had their contracts extended for now, Tim believes and is hoping this might get a response from certain players.

In regards to Brooks, Hastings and Newcastle, both Tim and Benji both believe they can get more out of Brooks rather than Hastings. Also Hastings wanted an upgrade in his contract to which the Tigers declined but Newcastle agreed to.

Ken Maumalo still struggling on his knee after off season surgery, both Shawn Blore and Tommy Talau who missed most of last season but both players are looking pretty fit and ready to go, particularly Tommy, he has put some extra bulk and and would be tipping over 100kgs easily.

All the new kids on trial and train contracts are all trying their hardest to impress coaches Sheens and Marshall. Also at training are Will Smith and Charlie Staines. Watching Staines he is rather quick, quicker than i thought.

A sweetener? As in the Woods variety? 😅

Agree. But what else could it be if not a decent half that we need…

 

[Lee's fedora]

Welsby ain't coming
George Williams still early days with that one

 

[happy_tiger]

Tigers player with speed? Get out of town haha.

Thanks for the update

We had Simona ...ohh ...that sort of speed ...sorry ...

Any chance George Williams for 2023 or only looking at him 2024?

Player upgrade I'd reckon. Not sure who though

He's still got 2 years left on his current deal in UK.

That doesn’t mean anything these days mate. Especially leaving Super League for the NRL. Fingers crossed anyway

I does mean Tigers either having to fork out another hefty transfer fee or offering up a player to sweeten the deal.

Welsby seems allergic to the NRL. Many clubs have tried to bring him down here but I guess he's comfortable in the SL

That’s fine. Happy to utilise either of those options for another class player.

Both Jack Welsby & Morgan Knowles have contract through until the end of 2025, George Williams end of 2024 so less of a transfer fee for Williams unless a player swap could be on the cards. (Nofa would be a great fullback in SL nudge nudge)

I am concerned about the Stains contract of only 1 yr,. He is without even playing, a better player then the Tigers have in the backline. I think he will kill it at Fullback, and if not, a very good winger or even centre. He is a true speedster, only 22, and will only get better. If he goes well, other sides will pounce and we will lose him. With a dearth of talent in the backs, and a few ordinary players retained that would not outrun Tamu, i'm at a loss to understand why !

Thanks @The-moP or semordnilap of @THE_POM

Which T&Ts have caught your eye at training?

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Does anyone who knows Nofa or his personal situation think that he would entertain a Super League contract & living in the UK?

He would absolutely kill it over there as a fullback, Man Of Steel calibre!!!!

Get in his ear Lee.

Brooks extension ???

In a rare complement to Pascoe, the club itself is loaded so if we had to cough up another one I think we can.

Times are changing lads, times are changing.

I believe the transfer fee, does not impact the salary cap, and the massive dollars they made during that fiasco on the Tigers in the dressing sheds, would hardly worry the club.
