Bookmakers have us second last and that’s optimistic. Try realism for once.Just love your posativety
Let's see how the roster shapes up first huh.Bookmakers have us second last and that’s optimistic. Try realism for once.
It’s there on paper, 2024 is another bust year. Refer to my previous predictions if you need to.Let's see how the roster shapes up first huh.
Geez.

You don’t think the club deserves criticism? It’s at an all time low. The criticism comes from me wanting to watch my team win.Don't change Ur username
I reckon Benji is plotting an outside back off contract next year who is flying under the media’s radar due to injury, Taylan May.
Could depend on what Penrith’s salary cap position is for ‘25 given Turuva off contract & young gun McLean coming through & what Luai does.
Just my thoughts.
Which is correct, okay some interest around Twal but I think that's as a second tier player.
the surprise is:
Isaiah Papali'i
and John Bateman.
These two should be gun and desirable players. With both their form is way lower then past performance. Bateman we know it was almost a mid season transfer so lets see what a good preseason does.
Balmain boys whine about bulas contract was one of the most ridiculous posts I’ve ever seen on this forum,,, and that is saying something… like, all that drama is not really our problem to whine about , they get paid well,, deal with it,,, and Bula is a rising star we needed to keep , desperately!So what do you want to pay Bula?
Let’s low ball him so he goes to the Roosters. Awesome idea
AJ and Nofo are the ones that have to go.Our biggest problem in the short term is creating available roster spots to actually have the ability to recruit. Next year will be a hard slog with our current roster. We need to move on at least three players and that would appear unlikely. In saying the above Iam confident we will not get the spoon and climb a couple of positions based on the fact we will have a new 6 and 7
Interesting that nearly all fans agree it is AJ and Nofoaluma should be offloaded to allow us to recruit and strengthen our 2024 squad.AJ and Nofo are the ones that have to go.
AJ only has 24 on his deal, other guy has 24 and 25 sadly.
Both offer minimal to our squad other than talking up the numbers.
Swap Nofa & Addo-Carr???AJ and Nofo are the ones that have to go.

I wouldn't put Bateman in that list. Worst bit of signing business we've done since Josh Reynolds and it was easily callable from the off. Small back rowers rarely age well and his form in the UK was ok at best, yet we gave him four years when there didn't seem to be any other obvious NRL interest. He didn't live up to his contract value in year one so I shudder to think what 2026 is going to be like. Dead money on the cap in all likelihood.Which is correct, okay some interest around Twal but I think that's as a second tier player.

Hope we sign nofo for another 3 years. It will be fantastic for popcorn factor! Imagine
Noffa needs to put down the mirror next season and Benji needs to sneak some of his 2018/19 highlight reels, while he watches Gilligan Island re-runs.Interesting that nearly all fans agree it is AJ and Nofoaluma should be offloaded to allow us to recruit and strengthen our 2024 squad.
If it was to eventuate I would feel for Nofo as he’s spilled blood for the Wests Tigers jersey for many years, but I agree he looks to have slowed down too much and doesn’t leave him with much to offer given he is also small for a modern day NRL winger.
Lets swap Twal for Payne Hass too while we're at it.Swap Nofa & Addo-Carr???
Addo-Carr's future in doubt after 'dramatic' week

I can understand why Sheens referred to Bateman as the “domino he wanted to fall”. He‘s a pigheaded uncompromising pommy who could have ignited something in our depressed players. He may just do that in 24?When you include his transfer fee the club would have spent about 1m dollars on getting him,pure Sheenius.
He has 3 more years to prove me a fool but so far he has not shown anywhere near enough
