Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think a few on here gave us a bum steer on Reilly.
He is worth the effort over this off season to develop.
I don’t know what is happening in KOE Cup, but the same things were said of Bula before he debuted.

I think he will be even better on the left.

I'm ok with Reilly/Tupou on left side
Toa/Staines on the right


Naden back up and Feledy developing.

our forward pack is elite. Samuela Fainu for Seyfarth is an upgrade. Blore, Stef, Pole another year older, Bateman and Papali'i get full preseasons with the squad. Laulili'i proved he will be a regular by midway thru next season, Mansfield and Tumeth have upside. halves have been fixed, the outside backs come next. next year SHOULD be a better year, and I say should because this year was incredibly frustrating.

I disagree about our forward pack we need two mongrel forwards blokes who can do the dirty work , we don’t have any in our current squad , and if u think we do ur blind , sorry but it the truth

No I don't think it is harsh on Twal. He is purely a NSW Cup standard player who constantly gets a run in 1st Grade as we are back to back Wooden Spooners. If Tigers are to climb the ladder it cannot be with players like Twal.

A guy who doesn’t miss tackles and makes 10 meters a run? He is closer to nsw blues quality then nsw cup

Plus these days he can step and offload

Not based on 2023 results.

Stevie Wonder could see that the pack did their job and the lack of footballing IQ in the halves killed our season before it began.

Potentially, certainly not on present form.

wait and see.

All positives. Hopefully they trend in the right direction.

glad we agree on something.

That is debatable. Hopefully they form a cohesive unit.

time will tell.

Yes hopefully something s in the works.

I too hope so.

If we come 11th with 8 wins will people be happy? Technically that’s better but the same result remains - no finals.

ask me once the squad is finalised. hopefully there's more squad movement to come.

Lee just said benji, Morris, , farah, Furner coaching staff God help us

He said currently we have Benji as HC and Morris, Farah and Furner as assistants.

It's been publicised that Farah wants to move away from coaching and into admin, and that Furner will probably be on the move, but until any such moves are announced they're still 'currently' our coaches.

i still think Tumeth could be a very good defensive centre. He is not big butmore than big enough to do the job in the centres. Has the hole running of a centre just lacks a little agility and skill to be a real attacking threat.

So the solution to the worst centre stocks in the comp is to add someone slower than Talau/Kepaoa?
We need speed, Tumeth is similar to Lovett, and should not play centre in first grade, ever.

I wonder whether we’ll have a crack at Taylan May on Nov 1 for ‘25+, probably the best centre off contract then outside of Best. Panthers have Tago, Alamoti, Turuva & plenty of juniors coming through.

It really has

I hope we genuinely have a crack at Turuva.

I hope we genuinely have a crack at Turuva.

At least you blokes are on the right track.
All the other suggestions of rejects and reserve graders during the day has had me shaking my head at how low they expect our recruitment to be.

The Euan Aitken one made me throw up in my mouth.

The Penrith Panthers have landed a significant coup, luring boom rookie Paul Alamoti to the club from the Bulldogs next season.

The back-to-back champions have been in discussions with Alamoti for the past week, agreeing to terms on a deal that will see the teenager fill the Panthers’ final spot in their top 30 roster for next season.

Agreed. I've never been one for the fantasy football suggested signings many make on here - Munster etc but man oh man. The idea of having hymel hunt and euan Aiken as a centre/wing pairing gives me nightmares. Need to be better than that.

Solution? Probably not. Better option? I believe so.

Not bad…Toa will do if we can’t sign better. He isn’t very dynamic though and pretty inconsistent. Hopefully we are adding another centre to the ranks.

We win 2 wooden spoons and people are upset about letting Seyfarth go.
Geez

Any centre recruit will be a means to an end anyway for us next season.

Round 25 backline (leading us to a fairytale top 8):
Bula
Staines
T’oa
Galvin
Ngutlik
Fainu
Sullivan

 

[Hbom]

Agree we are foward heavy. From what I have seen, Faagutu is must keep.
