Especially seeing that we've already had Mo Syzlak in our colours.

Chris Fa'agutu is a gun. Can't wait until he is in first grade. I like how the club is holding him back at the moment to get his body conditioned. He could be anything.
I don't think Simpkin is the answer. You can see what a great hooker has brought to the team in Api. But I do feel Madge put a lot of pressure on him to perform immediately (thinking of that Rabbits game where he played 80 in one of his first games against a huge pack), and then went cold on him. We were desperate for a star, but Robbie Farah's don't come around very often.
Didn’t Watson sign already with the slimmmy eels

Anyone any idea how far off is Ngutlik
Impossible, didn’t anyone tell him that Gus went to visit Manase in the clink?

We've so many good young players coming through that we need to keep both $ and top 30 spots available to retain them. Our biggest play is to secure them and deny them to clubs like the Roosters, Storm and the Bulldogs. Deny them the young talent and the composition of the top 8 may change.

It's not doing his son any future favours that's for sure

He did his ACL in the pre-season so hopefully he can resume full training early in the New Year.

Tigers land Fainu brothers on four-year deals
Wests Tigers have secured a much-needed recruitment win by beating the Dolphins to rising stars Samuela and Latu Fainu with lucrative four-year deals.
The pair are due to join the Tigers from November 1 and are seen as two of the best youngsters in the game after Latu, a five-eighth, and Samuela, a forward, performed strongly in NSW’s under-19s State of Origin victory last week. (SMH)
Actually delighted. Great news. If the Sezer rumours are true too, he's a solid experienced head to ease Latu into first grade playmaking. Between Bula, Fainu, Da Silva & plus all our young forwards. there are some good signs ahead. Just need to stick with them and get the right players around them.
Different players, different sizes, styles in the 19s game he reminded me of a younger Stefano; though his a wide runner probably could grow into more of a Kikau, Katoa.
See if u can get a message to the rabbits to release isiah Tass to the tigers pls

No he is still uncontracted with the Roosters (on the injury list all year so far with patella tendon).
You may be thinking of Connor Tracey as there were rumours a couple of months back Eels were interested but he is still contracted at the Sharks.

The goal is to have Latu ready for the 6 jersey come 2024 and give him the pre season next to Bula, Api and Seizer to see what he can do.
Mail was always the same - they were always coming but wanted assurance that Fulton was going nowhere given the speculation of a rift. The whole Dolphins scenario was always a leverage thing.
Some other news…. the same source also alerted me about Lomax wanting out months ago seems to be confident that we’re putting ourselves in the picture to get him next. Benji is driving this but up to 6 clubs have made enquires - what does work in our favour is that Lomax is a lot more keen on us than people would assume. However, Flanagan would prefer him to stay so maybe a Simpkin trade could work?
We’re also in box seat to secure Holbrook too but John Morris is being heavily heavily considered.
He also mentioned the club is looking for another halves player - wasn’t told any names.
That’s all I’ve got right now

If we've gone out and got the Fainu's like Weilder said i'd still be goin out and getting someone like Taafe. He gives Latu time to bed in which he probably needs and can revert to a 14 and also covers 1,6,7 its a no brainer for me. It was a no brainer before we signed Latu.
