Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Saw someone on FB say there was a swap with Aitasi James swapped for Iverson Matai. While we need a young halfback, not sure we'd trade James. We gave them Kautoga only a few weeks back

I hope not, he’s another forward who is becoming 1st grade ready and we are offloading him. We need to demonstrate there’s a clear path to nrl for the youngsters and a future not when ya ready we will ditch ya or trade ya.

Alex is a mile ahead of Levi, and it's not close.

Levi was a very good player in his age group, an age group that was quite strong and competitive. I always thought highly of Levi.

Alex was a standout in a stacked team in a weak comp. However he did play up in age, once 2 years up and performed strongly.

I do believe your right that Alex is the better prospect, but he has had it easy so far. Playing in an easy comp in a side that just kept getting stacked and beating teams 50 nil every week. That can't be good for development.

It will be interesting to see how he develops.

How can you say Johnson is Worse then Brooks.

Cronulla got into the top 8 with Johnson.
Johnson has representated New Zealand.
Now, maybe. Yet were talking about a player who has played a stack of games.

Career wise, overall. Johnson is far greater then Brooks and will enjoy his highlight reel. Johnson could teach the team a thing or two and build juniors. Juniors are learning nothing from Brooks. ...

Ofcourse Marshall is meant to teach the team a thing or two.

Johnson won the Golden Boot in 2014 and Benji won his GB in 2010.

Is this the same guy who left the tigers over 10 year ago and was sacked by manly cause he was hitting sponsors up about his own finances? Yea wow I’m really cut up that he has a grudge against the tigers. that’s incredible puts his own grudges ahead of his sons future. I think that’s a text book narcissist.

Tigers sign young Bulldogs halfback​

Iverson will join the club effective immediately.​


The Wests Tigers have made a new signing, bringing in talented halfback Iverson Matai from the Canterbury Bulldogs.

A member of the Bulldogs Academy, Matai was granted an NRL Development contract with the Dogs whilst playing in their SG Ball side.

A promising halfback, Matai was awarded the Sydney East Blue in 2021 for excellence, leadership and values in the sport of rugby league during his last year at Endeavour Sports High Score.

The award is considered the highest individual sporting honour in the Sydney East region.

A cool head with the ball in his hands, Matai has shown his poised kicking game and great passing ability throughout the SG Ball competition.

Although they have been no official word on him joining the Tigers, he has been named on the interchange for the Wests Tigers Jersey Flegg team this weekend.

Competing against the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Mascot Oval on Saturday, Tigers fans will get their first look at what may be the club's future halfback.

Alex played in a Harold Matts side this year that was pretty average and consistently led it to victory in high pressure moments. kid’s a gem.
