Mitchell Moses. It is not important who we are chasing, because if they are any good, we wont get them

Anyone else heard the rumour about Chad Townsend to the tigers in 2024. Cowboys to pay up to half freight...

Todd Payten and Sheens/Benji are very close. Supposedly a win win for both teams. But is Townsend the right fit for us on a two year deal?

After his game on Thursday, no wonder the cows are trying to offload him
 
I see Souths had 14 players on the field for 14 seconds.

I remember quite a long time ago I think ironically a player Balmain bought from West called Lubinskas was on the field for about the same time, and the 2 points Tigers won were stripped from Balmains points.

WONDER WHAT WILL HAPPEN HERE, I WILL BET NOTHING.

What are your thoughts on Cody Hunter, Ethan Quai-Ward, Robert Derby and Brenton Baira ?

Cody hunter looks good, just needs to show consistency. Got all the talent that’s for sure
Quai - ward , improving each game
Derby- haven’t seen enough
Baira - I enjoy watching him, Redcliffe won’t that one go !
 
Anymore info on Ronald Volkman the top point scoring halfback in the top point scoring ladder leading Warriors KOE cup side ?
I can't see him ever getting a 1sf grade spot there with Johnson and Walker incumbents
Surely he would like to step up to NRL
We need to stop fantasising about established top performing Nrl players there is Zero chance they would consider moving to the spooners .Campbell Graham for example waste of time even talking about it
Money talks but careers are more important
Re our own Cup side there is nothing that's a standout got to recruit where we have one major thing to offer -The chance to be a regular NRL footballer

My gut feeling is Tommy Talau will come good and will likely reach his potential at NRL level if he can remain relatively injury free.
But I don’t believe he’s given his best to Wests Tigers, so no use keeping a player with that attitude towards us.

Good riddance to the bloke after how patient we were with him. You can count on one hand the number of good games he had for us.

I also thought Garner would do really well at Panthers, but so far that has not gone well. He actually copped what I thought were some pretty scathing comments from Cleary Snr. and I thought they were a bit on the harsh side.

I think they expected a bit too much of him early on in the piece.

Would have actually liked to keep Garner and have often wondered what sort of deal The "Riff offered him to go across, obviously we were not able to match it / didn't want him, or he just wanted to go to a winning side.

I saw a rumour here a year or so ago that Garner informed the club that he would look at his options elsewhere for 2023 onwards. So we were never in the hunt to keep him.

Did he have a brother, because I was at Leichardt oval when this one happened, if you were at belmore and he was playing for West it would have been against Canterbury West were playing, and im a Balmain supporter, what I saw was at leichardt I was definately not at Belmore.

I was at that match too. But we were stripped of the points because Liubinskas was deemed an illegal replacement, not because we had 14 players on the field.

It was something to do with a replacement for first grade had to have completed the match in reserve grade. Liubinskas played in reserves but didn't finish the match.

The match was drawn 7 - 7 and we were stripped of the one point. The Canterbury supporters were spewing because the NSWRL wouldn't give them the other point.

According to Wikipedia Liubinskas played 2 matches for Balmain in 1979.

Think johnsons age might keep volkman keen on the Warriors as long as they keep going decent, considering his age and injury history it wouldn't be surprising if he retires after this year
granted he is playing pretty well lately and I'm surprised no ones mentioned him as a senior half pairing with some young gun for us
