That makes it 30 players contracted for next season.
We can't sign any more (Staines etc) without outgoings first.

Does Seyfarths re-signing mean our top 30 for next year is full? If so, seriously concerned about our backline... if we're heading into next season with those backs then I think another bottom of the table finish is on the cards.
Backs always a concern...
They locked Toa in...
Maybe they're happy with what we've got? 🤦🏻
1 Bula
2 Nofo / some one else ?
3 Toa / Feledy
4 Naden / Tupou / Reilly
5 Tupou / some one else
It's not the worst but it's not great either....
Realistically,
Simpkin- good kid, OK player but surplus to needs.
Nofo - bad attitude, aging player, well past his best.... should be shown the door to free up space with the future in mind.
AJ - not a fan, doesn't offer a lot on field and we need the space desperately.
AD - will he even play next year ? Work something out, put him in the cooler for a year to allow a new signing and for him to recovery and us to see IF he can bounce back.

Probably is the worst backline in the comp when you put it like that
Yep.
What happened to Alex Lobb?
Was that announced?
Might be just a cup contract.
I'd be willing to let Naden and Reilly go along with the ones mentioned as long as we can strengthen this area.

I don't mind the squad. Hopefully we have some more turnover and get some class players in but I reckon it's unlikely we'll get class players.
It'll be up to the juniors coming through to give us some class.

I think it will be a train & trial deal mate. Just guessing.

Surely over the coming weeks the Tigers will move on a player or two, with a number of candidates mentioned previously that are surplus to requirements. I know this is more easily said than done but Joffa was moved on quickly which no one really saw coming.

Oh ffs 🤦 can you ever ever say anything positive ? Or even just not respond with negative “opinion “ on everything? It’s not just you , but FFS some people on this like Tucker and vicious and fallen angel and Bagno5 really need to get on Zoloft or some Anti depressants or some damn thing. As far as they concerned every single player is terrible , everybody is overpaid . Every coach is terrible every signing is crap and we Will never improve !! I’m sick to death of seeing it , opinion dressed as PROVEN FACT !! It’s a supporters forum , at least try to support the team and give an inch of respect to other supporters opinions.. please 🙏 for the love of god !

This all but guarantees there will be some releases incoming. No team goes into the pre-season 30/30.

Many of the names you mentioned, including tony, don't have any carried negativity bias from my perspective.

I thought vicious was mr positive.
I can tell you what response you'll get: some version of "well we've been crap for years, they deserve it". They think they are (a) the only ones who have noticed that we haven't been real good of late, (b) that everyone else is perfectly happy with the state of affairs, and (c) that because the club has made lots of poor decisions over the past decade or so it is reasonable to conclude that no decision it ever makes can possibly be anything other than terrible. You'll notice that no vaguely plausible ideas about how the club gets out of the current mess are ever suggested, just endless moaning that every development is a disaster.
I got called a "happy clapper" because I argued that we'd be better off building from within than trying to fix everything overnight with pricey free agent signings. This apparently means I think the club has done and is doing everything right and I don't want them to get better. Bonkers.

I think it’s teriffic .. Twal runs hard as anybody , just needs a bit of work on defence and putting the man on the ground and timing his runs better .. having a decent half throwing him good ball should really help .. he LOVES the club , is loyal to it and that is FANTASTIC.. it might run off onto the kids we want to keep ,, us supporters whine when a player we like signs elsewhere but we want to get rid of ones that want to stay that play well ?? WTF is that about ? Success comes from players having a common goal and working for each other when the chips are down .. playing as a team with people motivated to succeed for that team is good place to start and TWALLY has that in spades ! You can see how the other players feel about him ! We need that as a a club

they may be .. I was kind of working off the cuff trying to recall the posts that had got under my skin from time to time , all of them seem to be genuine fans that want success for the club so it was probably a mistake for me to single anyone out with out supplying evidence or examples

Yep, now with full books, the players trades and taps on shoulder for better deals elsewhere come in to play. Here's hoping Fulton and Marshall can pull some interest and options for us (and indeed the players in question too to be fair).
