So remind me how that worked out for us 🤔🥴So recruitment managers have Agents as well?
I think Mitchell thinks he is to good to come down to the tigers level , will end up the roooters to pick up his fortune for leaving so Cronk could win them two compsYou aren’t Wayne Pearce are you?
Or did you just bump into Mitchell on your last trip to France?
Webster-Mansfield, Matamua and Tumeth are very early in their careers and in respect of the latter he has played consistent junior reps. As we've seen with Seyfarth, some players take time to develop, mature and find a coach who will play them to their strengths. Gould is big on this issue. Pole was always an NRL player which was obvious at Balmain and also in the U20s and Fa'agutu looks to be on the same trajectory.I totally agree but when do you stop believing and expecting. We expected something from Brooks ever since his debut and 10 years we got nothing we expected from the "next joey Johns". I love Matamua and Tumeth and I would love to give them 3 years to develop then reevaluate their contracts. But BWM hasn't shown much and in reserve grade he has been outplayed by Jack Boyling on the other edge who has a outshined him in every way. So when do we lose hope with some young players?

Not true… the club wanted Pearce for this season and the next however negotiations stalled (didn’t know the reason on why but @Mystery post makes sense) and Pearce informed us he’d like to play out the season and look into his options for next year and was very open to the idea of coming to us.
The club then turned their attention on Moses as it was made aware that he was a good chance of potentially coming to us. Now Moses has rejected the deal and the club might’ve considered Seizer’s age factor given his deal would provide more value to us as there was no halves on the market and Pearce’s health could provide setbacks like it did for us this year when AD/Brooks went down.
The whole reason they wanted Pearce was the experience around the park, Wakeham’s deal will be pretty much replaced by Latu and Sullivan.
I don’t think the 250k figure is correct - from memory it was $1.5 million over 2 years according to reports.mate.. read his initial comment that I responded to… it said he agreed to come here for $250k… then it didint happen because Moses,,,do you believe this or not ?
Fox Sports reporting Hull FC interest in Blore for 2024. The same article reports our interest in Luke Thompson as well as the Dragons.
Maybe Fox read the forum!This would be terrible roster management by the club.

All I know is initially the club did want him but then negotiations stalled. The reason might’ve very well been because of Moses.
If we didn’t have the Moses negotiations lingering on in the background I firmly believe Pearce would be in a Wests Tigers jersey right now.
Agreed. If they are done, as reported. Why not announce them straight away. Pretty sure the whole fan base would like some more positive news!I'd like to see some official announcements from the club buy a 1 year deal for Sezer sounds great for us. If he doesn't work out it's not an issue.
Pretty sure he has been in our young Cubs Pathway squad. Locking him in with us for 3 more years is great though! Will probably play up a year in our Harold Matthews team in 2024 you would think.Sounds like a bit of a coup picking up Havea.... Well done Fulton
Sea Eagles skipper Daly Cherry-Evans drops down to a tick under $1 million next season while the departure of the Fainu brothers – Latu and Samuela – to the Wests Tigers also saves Manly $800,000 in the cap next season.We are chasing Olakau’atu as well as manly under salary cap pressure ! That would be nice !
