Fainus finally over the line. Remember where you heard it first. You are welcome Forum Fam...
True! He butchered those sirloins like he butchered a lot of opposition defences!

What? I did no such thing.
Someone really said “Lomax is the exact type of player we don’t need”.
Yes, in our team, baron of good creative centres, one who can kick goals and complement our halves, who always makes breaks and half breaks should definitely not be considered because a mate who knows a mate said he’s got an ego.
News flash, you need to have an ego of some sort when playing first grade football.

Glad to see you're still a humble fellow, but i must admit you were correct i will give you that.
So Sezer aside who’s our next signing or resigning ?
Even with Sezer and Fainu we still need two more halves to include in our top 30.
If Simpkin goes and Da Silva replaces him in our top 30, we still probably need a 3rd hooker that can play NRL if required, on form not sure if Rua is that person ?
Surely between Naden, Nofa, Kaparoa and Reilly we find a new home for 2-4 of them and replace them with better quality, is Brad Parker a chance ?
If Laurie goes we need a quality back up fullback. Hopefully we keep Staines, but even still will need another one who can cover fullback or potentially wing or centre at NRL level. I like the idea of a real flyer such as Xavier Savage or the lesser known Treigh Stewart.
We also need another big, tall and powerful winger to apply pressure or potentially take the place of Junior Tupou if he has any more drops in form. Is Jeral Skelton that man, or is there someone better such as Edward Kosi who has lost his starting spot at the Warriors ?

Great Simpkin Swap for a centre that can’t defend?!? What about sanders or no deal??
From Manly, centre I think
Wonder if they'd look at him as a centre.
He's been playing a lot of fullback & hooker this year.
Bit of a livewire, good footwork.
Looks like a Benji like player.

I actually think we keep Wakeham for 2nd tier. He's not going to cost the world and at will provide us at least a good kicker if someone goes down.

Sanders is Raider bound so that swap would be silly for a few months.
Prefer we push Jake out to get the Fainu bros this season.

Wakeham has played above expectations & deserves a backup min tier contract.
He’s done ok at times, but I honestly think he’s 5 levels below someone like Adam Clune who you would think could be signed for a similar type of contract value.
Even Jesse Marshke at the Bears is a lot better quality than Wakeham in my opinion.

Mate we have no one in our side capable of catching a short drop out, Lomax would cure that problem in a flash.
Iam with you, love to see him in our backline

Fainu bros official - on the WT insta page.
Zac Lomax would be a massive addition to our team if there was anyway possible we could get him.
I think there is no chance the Dragons will release him from his contract.

Fainu brothers join Wests Tigers
Wests Tigers have signed rising stars Latu and Samuela Fainu to long-term deals.

He will be 19 next year , we have had some great kids make 1st grade , for the tigers Geoff starling played for Australia before he was 20 if I remember, Tim brasher made 1st grade at 17 , and benji at 18 , so why he couldn’t play 1st grade is not due to his age , give him a go and monitor him that’s all we got to do

I think the only time ive seen him play and tbh i didnt really pay him a lot of attention he was at centre, whether he was filling in came off the bench ect i couldnt say. But seeing as though we have Fainu and Bula maybe centre is where we would play him.
