Just some signing suggestions for a Monday ...

- Jake Averillo (off contract), if Daine Laurie is on the outer at the Tigers, this guy possesses everything that Laurie has but comes with breakneck speed. I can't recall much from his 5/8/halfback season except Bulldogs getting owned each week. With his added experience & strength now, could he become a running 5/8 for us as well as utility back? Bulldogs have Crichton & Xerri coming in so Averillo may be expendable despite his good form. Can goalkick too, just needs his knee cleaned up.

- Tolutau Koula (off contract 2024 so free to negotiate 1 Nov), if he's not snapped up by the ARU, could he become the powerhouse/explosive centre we lack atm? I'm thinking Scott Fulton relationship here. Can also play fullback.

- Tylor Bunting (Manly SG Ball captain, halfback, Emerging Blues squad 2023), again thinking Scott Fulton relationship. Has anyone seen this kid play? Just wondering if he's an organising halfback that could be mentored for a couple of seasons with us by an experienced half. Played with Josh Feledy. I wonder if he's just as good as Parra's Ethan Sanders???

Can we just take a minute to appreciate how good the development of fonua pole has been. He’s gone from a bloke only a few of us know to a starting forward in less than a year. The club has to be congratulated on how it has developed our young players over the last few years all the young players are killing it. It’s so good to see

 

[hank37w]

this aged well after this weekends games

Let's see how Brooksy goes for the remainder of the season.

Well I hope, for the sake of the team and him.

Still only 20

The team badly needs someone who can kick goals at 80%. Tigers are not good enough to forego points that are on offer.

 

[liltiger]

Nearly all our gun Wests Matt's and Ball players are managed by Mario Tartak, who is very close to Scott Fulton. Look at his Player List and you'll probably find some potential WT signings.

Josh Schuster
Jason Saab
Moses Suli
Haumole Olakau'atu
Latu Fainu
Matt Doorey
Davy Moale

Just sounds like we're setting ourselves up for Isaac Moses 2.0 where he has the Tigers by the you know what's come contract time with a roster stacked with one agents players.

 

[liltiger]

Schuster looks really unfit. No thanks.

I think he is going to be Feleti Mateo Volume II - with additional fatness

I don't see the thing with this guy, he just seems lazy, has all the skill in the world, without the self awareness or discipline to avoid KFC. You would think he would take things more serious seeing as how Forun was let go for him.

 

[TopTiger]

so McDonnell (?) standing down confirmed yet? suppose so

Fulton will reportedly oversee first grade, while McDonnell will focus on the club’s pathways system.

Been a major problem since Ross Conlon/John Dorahy never tried to address this in my eyes

But we had Hodgson and Richards.

That penalty was a really bad miss from Wakeham, those ones should get thrown over.

Jake would be a great addition! And just need a a decent half. Bula looks like a lock now, Api is playing out of his skin each week. We have the pack.

What about the one he kicked on half time. Wakeman is a good goal kicker

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

I would say that the jury is still out re his goal kicking, however, his general play/involvement needs improvement.

We seem to have finally figured out how to transition players into first grade, there was a period where players like talau would come up with potential but then fade away

 

[bathursttiger1]

We need a great goal kicker, not a good one.

 

[mikey]

What about Wakehams pass last night that went to nobody???

Pure Benjius.

 

[mikey]

Buzz reporting that Schuster had a fight at training with the brother of Ryan Matterson .

That kind of thing gets leaked when a club is trying to move a player on

Wouldn’t surprise if there’s a move to swap Talau for Schuster .

It'd be an upgrade

 

[batboy]

With all the fat shaming he'd have to go to the forwards

Already have a back rower who thinks he's a 6
What would we ever do with 2 of them.....
