Tigers land recruitment win with lucrative Fainu deals as Eels lose Hodgson

Wests Tigers have secured a much-needed recruitment win by signing rising stars Samuela and Latu Fainu with lucrative four-year deals.

www.smh.com.au

I was reading that Latu Fainu was on one of the most expensive NRL contracts available.
Clearly the guy has talent. We need to keep and foster that talent. We have the pack for him to seriously do some damage.

Samuela Fainu can slot in for Joe O's front row spot. Really we needed a second rower and glad to have him on board.

Lets see us live up to our potential.

Braith and Hoops reported its a 2m deal each for 4 years

 

[Tucker]

Watched them during u19 Origin, Latu... Way he was communicating and organising the attack was beyond impressive by nrl standards let alone just a kid.

How many no look passes did he have also though.

I thought he was very very ordinary.
Hopefully he can go better than that.

Would they know?

Ok for Latu. Seems too much for Sam. Time will tell.

Braith and Hoops reported its a 2m deal each for 4 years

I don’t think they know.

Said it was a massive risk signing them for 4 years with limited first grade experience. We signed Bula for 3 before he played a game. No one mentioned that as a risk. Muppets.

 

[Champ1]

I’m absolutely stoked that they signed. Also it appears that Benji has been instrumental in securing their services as he sees a bit of himself in Latu and obviously feels he can contribute to Benjis vision for the clubs future… very exciting

And I think Tim Sheens has had a major influence with all of this. He fronts the media taking all the bullets & allows Benj to work his magic behind the scenes without the pressure. If bloody Pascoe & Happpenstupid would only work with Sheens instead of agaisnt him, we would be way better off.

For all his stuff ups Sheens doesn't get young talents wrong.

Lol the eggs are in the baskets now.
Looking forward to watching their progress into the top grade.
Guess this means young Galvin will be gone? Can he play in the centres?

 

[GCfan]

Correct.
Glad there's a dedicate thread for thses signings instead it lost in the rumours rubbish thread

Club is getting my hopes up again... Bula, DaSilva, Stef.... These two... Things holey are looking.promising let's just hope the coaching works

Yeah we should have a good side by 2027

Still got Alex Conti in the background...

Galvin may be 7 with Latu at 6.

Galvin will likely be a second-rower going forward.
Pretty sure this was always likely to be the plan, regardless.

At some stage Latu may be the #7, and Galvin the #6, but not in the short-term obviously.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Don’t think it will take that long. I’d say 25 we should be peaking but so many variables.
Let’s hope 24 is a moving year and then ready for a red hot go in 25.
They can’t leave it too long otherwise a few of us oldies may not be around and I’d be pissed off to miss the fun.

 

[Todd Packer]

Ok for Latu. Seems too much for Sam. Time will tell.

That's 500k per year, To put it in context we were paying average Joe 600k .

 

[Wiz]

That's 500k per year, To put it in context we were paying average Joe 600k .

I understand. I thought Joe was way over paid for what he offered. Blore will want $500k per year now as well.

 

[Hbom]

Could be worse, could have given Brooks a 4 year deal.

Sezer please

I think the Sharks are heading off any possible raids for Trindall by dropping Moylan and playing Trindall in first.
