would the Tigers look at Jahrome Luai as a 7 ? off contract end of 2024 ?
could the club look at
7. Luai
6. Fainu

2024 we have AD off contract so that is 600k you can put towards luai

Had we not got someone like Fainu, I would 100% be looking at Luai. Particularly while Api was here and if Daine Laurie would be a long term player.

But I would look at Luai at 6, not 7. You can tell at Penrith it is Cleary who does the organisation, the kicking and the positioning. I actually reckon Luai is the better player, he has been quiet this year but he usually is involved in every try there. Luai is not a nr7.

Benji will get the deal done, also the kid can play 7, his best performance of the KOE this year by far was against the Eels in which he played halfback. Not saying that is where his best position is but he can play 7 has enough talent to do it.

Yeah, you're right, I have seen something similar before, just not very switched on since my father passed last week.

I'm sorry to learn of your loss. Best wishes to your family during this difficult period. Paws.

There is no way in hell that Luai would leave the Panthers for the Tigers, even for considerably more $

My condolences, stay strong 🙏

Ponga comes straight in.

Don't think it'll be the Hammers tucker

Yes it could be, but Hammer and Holmes have shut down the NSW backline with their speed in defence…I’d leave them there and just bring Ponga back in as long as he is available…

I recon they might go with Brimson he’s been in the squad and I thought ponga ruled himself out I could be wrong on that though

Very sorry to hear about your loss, condolences to you and your family.
Remember that you also have a family here that you can lean on anytime that you need any support.

Yeah I think he may have. Brimson is a good shout.

Not a bad player to have just sitting in the wings waiting. Not sure who I would prefer ponga or brimson

The way Ponga took control of game 3 and won it for us last year when we were short of players such as Munster, means I’d lean towards him.
AJ won’t let us down though, that’s for sure.

Tough being a tigers supporter!

Life is a rollercoaster the best of times

Being a Wests Tigers supporter feels like you have picked the same powerball numbers for years and it finally wins the $100m only to find out the ticket was from the week before & you forget to renew for the winning week.

Does this potential Fainu signing smell like a player manager leaking "potential interest" from other clubs to suck every last dollar out of a desperate Tigers.. or even worse.. an upgraded extension from his current club.. starting to smell a bit M Mosesy 😠.
Maybe I'm just having halfback MOFO..🥴 (again)

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Either way he will miss Origin 3.

That is a big blow for QLD.

Yep, poor Billy might have to call on Ponga , or The hammer , what a let down !! 🥺

 

[fainty]

Pretty sure I read somewhere they have, that Tartak fella I believe

Yeah that’s what I thought. So there would be negotiations going on behind the scenes. They say Benji is meeting up with Fainu today. I would assume this is to sign a contract. I reckon it gets done today guys.

Manly now have .. Taniela Paskai .. Josh Aloiai .. Sharon “Dora the explorer” Woods .. Luke Brooks .. and Tommy Talua .. all ex Tigers .. !! They have half of the Tigers “Big 4” with them .. hehehe

If we can’t sign these Fainu boys with already their other brother here and Fulton doing his work .. we’re in deep trouble.

Sam Walker I’m hearing is that he’s off to the Cowgirls (according to his dad and uncle) .. and if that fails Newcastle is the second option.
