after the week from hell and being battered from pillar to post from every major media source... if true, this makes it all worth it. Latu is the best first grade ready five-eighth prospect in the country. Samuela is a very gifted back rower. this is an incredible win for our club, again providing it's true.

Hopefully Benji and Fulton can crack on and get to work now, all this animosity over Warren bloody McDonnell is a bit over the top. I know there are other factors but that was the beginning of the crack, lets move onwards and upwards. Benji can take young Latu under his wing and really get the best out of him ala Slater and Walsh.

The Fainu boys. Unreal

I’m tipping Gus said to the Fainu’s, I’ll be back in 3 years… when they are only 21 and developed into good players by the WT

Yeah mate i can say that had crossed my mind at the time, the bloke is a snake.

Latu is very impressive but still not sold on Samuela. Chris Faagutu looks a better prospect imo... I reckon we'll see a debut from him next year.

 

[Stevec]

Its looking like we might land the 18 and 19 year old Fainu brothers thanks to Benji not Fulton
But are these youngsters able to play at NRL level yet ?

 

[JWR]

Yeah we need to be careful. We launched Harry Grant into the stratosphere.

I love the ad where he thanks the Tigers and says he wouldn't be where he is without us!

True and judging by most of our past decisions we regret it the moment they have gone (Joffa is the perfect example)

Peachey
Kelma Tuilagi
Gildart
Tom Amone
Maumolo
Madden
Zac Cini
Tamou
Reece Hoffman
Sam Mac
Musgrove
Liddle
Mikaele
Joey Leilua
Bob Jennings
Garner
Josh Reynolds
Chris McQueen
Tyson Gamble
Esan Marsters
etc.

Let's not over-exaggerate that we "regret most releases", because all clubs are churning through loads of players every year and most of the time they get it right.

What is regretful is actually how ordinary is that most on my list are not Tigers juniors, so they were actively recruited externally and are pretty ordinary overall.

I wonder if manly will release them straight away , and will we release Simpkins to the slimmmy eels , I would trade him for Blake and use him as a winger he’s , big and fast I know he has mistakes but , better than what we got

Next signings need to be Holbrook and then Tino.

We have the cap space. I would use it for Tino. People would take us seriously then.

Yep love that, harry seems like a good lad

Tino isn't signing here mate Holbrook or no Holbrook

I hear that a lot, but you don't see many young talented blokes get bullied. They're too full of piss and vinegar.

I wonder if we are making a play for Tino and that's why Api came out a couple of weeks ago and said there's no hard feelings, that it was his own fault he got injured.

I thought it was a bit out of the blue

Not getting excited until announced as we all know what happens.

If true I like the brother as he looks to have aggression and size.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

So now the Benji/Fulton dream team can work on securing 4-5 experienced recruits that bring the right character, leadership & effort that we need through this transitionary period.

Halfback - Aidan Sezer
5/8 - Brodie Croft (with the thinking to shift to halfback after Sezer)
Centre - Brad Parker
Utility - Connor Watson (hooker, lock & 5/8)

Not flashy but all provide effort & experience.

Croft, T'oa, Staines, Bula for the speed. And look to recruit/retain some fast, x-factor outside backs in the NSW Cup - Jimmy Ngutlik, Jordan Hill & someone Fulton can find from western Sydney.

The only thing that could potentially ruin it would be if say a couple of geeks presented a petition at the most inopportune time and put the kybosh on the deal.
