Couldn't afford both.

My bet, neither will even give us a look.
Tigers are snub central.

Sorry mate, who is Reilly ?

Triston Reilly, he's in our top 30.

Moses and RTS would be the final pieces to our puzzle!!
for those complaining about age these guys are NOT your packers/Reynolds...they are cream of the crop players that will help our young ones grow without being thrown into the deep end. These young guys we keep hearing about wont be top tier players for another 5 years.

RTS is one of the best players to play the game. He went unnoticed after he left the Roosters due to the Warriors being out of the spotlight, and that they were a terrible team in every year he played except 2018. Some of his efforts were superhuman. Rest of his team would run for 500m total and he'd run 300m almost exclusively from one-off-the-ruck runs. He deserved better from his teammates.

Let’s forget rts we should be targeting Stephen Chrighton

I'd target Herbie Farnsworth before Stephen Crichton

We know Stephen can play fullback but. Herbie is more of a gamble in my opinion

Crichton was a terrible fullback. Panthers even played staines over him at the end I think

Crichton is a class footballer, but lacks the aggression top fullbacks have. He is a follower, not a front runner.

With the Chooks likely to be scrambling to hang into Sua'ali if a rumoured massive offer from Rugby arrives (and with him wanting Teddy's fullback spot anyway) might be worth a chat with Ted about having a final season or two back at his old club. Ted might relish the chance to play behind our new look pack. Certainly looks better than any he's played behind at WT before. Even at 29 he's still a match winner and likely to remain so for a good while yet! Sometimes long shots do come in!

Just not in terms of talent. He is the next William Kei, a waste os a roster spot

Waiting forever for juniors to come through, would not be economically viable. We had to quicken the process, or risk losing sponsors and fans. The 2025 target was smart, and i am surprised at our aggression in the market place this early. But this is a business, and the the club needs success to generate money. Getting the balance right,would be very difficult. I think we are doing well on all fronts.

Bringing juniors through is a ten year process. We need wins on the board now with outside experienced players. Bringing through Pole and Matumua with them is the way to develop players. Now that there is a longer season it's more important to bring them through slowly.

Same. But putting crightons asking price up abit can't hurt either.

Crighton has played there but not very good. Has alot to learn. Same as Herbie. I'd just rather Herbie because he'd be more consistent.

He and his dad have already basically bent over and pulled their pants down for uncle Nick.

He ain't coming back.

You're most likely right but it would be great to annoy the old car dealer by having a go at one of his golden boys!

 

[Balmainlegend]

I believe Brooks will make half of you guys eat your words next season. The coaches at the tigers have ruined his career and I believe the style Sheens and Benji will play will suit him

If the Tigers were to sign Tedesco, it would be just what the old car dealer wanted and we would be doing him a favour.

Be very happy with that. Love to see Teddy tear Nick's team a few new ones every so often!

 

[Go_You_Good_Things]

He doesn't like being called Farnsworth 😂

Is that like Heighnington ? . . . or Heino for short ?
