Flanno will have to build within. Why would you want to go to Dragons, Ben Hunt wants to leave, their forward pack isnt the best. Hooker position is not strong either. The blokes at DT and foxsports just make it up

Because half of them are dragons fans , and the other half are good mates with “flanno” .

You can overlook injuries at that age when the kid is a prodigy

Yea we are just going to overlook the fact that he was given 1mil to leave , thereby basically confirming he’s anything but a prodigy and considered an elite player . Also we will forget the fact the Raiders offered him 650k to leave and was talked out of it when he was a prodigy . No one is offering Shaun blore that kind of money , which in 2023 would be based on %of the cap something like 850k -1mil.

Is anyone in the media going to link the Tigers to Luia? 😂…

Brent Read has got him going to the Dragons as Flanno always gets his man apparently…

Might have to wait for his new agent to start spreading rumours the Tigers have offered $1.4m a year to get his price up …

The positives for us in attracting Luia are the $$$, Benji, Api, being our halves leader & possibly the biggest of all, not having to move & being close to his family & homies.

Think michael Chekka could be the circut breaker if the club could get him.

No chance. If Argentina had a terrible world cup then maybe he would’ve considered a role in league. Coaching them to a possible 3rd place at a world cup means he basically writes his own contract in coaching. After there loss today I think he will go again with the Pumas until the next world cup.

Maybe, read he may want to settle with something closer to home.
 
Well it looks like our men’s team which can’t keep players I see the women’s team have lost the winger to the cowboys , maybe there is something wrong with are whole set up

There's been noise about Cheika wanting to come home for a while. Will be very interesting to see if things have been going on behind the scenes. He would have something to offer the Tigers, although he is a notoriously dominating personality who can get people offside pretty quickly.

I actually think we are easily the best destination for Luai. Benji would suit him, he will be partnered by a very talented youngster, have a boom fullback, gun hooker. Plus the 2 main things, money and he doesn't have to move house, 2 very big factors IMO.

Yep.

Can't see him fitting in at the Dragons.

Maybe it's better they're not talking about us.. let them focus on the dragons or dogs and we'll sweep in late

Don’t agree, Olam is on the massive slide and frankly played in a great system at the drizzle!
We don’t have a great system so I would rather keep BLORE. He’s on the up and Bellamy knows it. Yes we have a heap of forwards coming through, but they are mostly one dimensional, no-necked tree trunked barrels. BLORE has offloading ability can give a flick pass to the winger on an overlap. Basically X factor. Don’t do it tigers, look if it was for best or another top
Line centre then my answer would be yes but Olam its a big fat No!

Line Centre?

I see Olam as the perfect left center. Not the "right" so called attacking center but the defensive grunty center.

Yes his form dipped for "worst weather in the world". Melbourne train hard and I could see Olam upping the intensity and level of our training but wanting a break from the insane "drizzle" level of training. Olam also has experience in the backline and would be our only experienced back next to Nofa (hahahah). Okay add Starford Toa and Staines with their two? seasons at Newcastle and Penrith. ...

We need experience and GRIT in our backline. This guy has it in spades.

I.e. a Steve Matai type which we really have never really had here. Yes we tried with BJ, but BJ was lazy at Canberra. Olam can still move hard and he

Top line centers available for recruitment:
B Best? Not coming here.
Joey Manu, Easts will have him locked down with Sualili cap space.
Various Brizvegas/Tuna fish/Tit's/Cow Tippers... Not leaving and not coming here.

No one else is even sniffing in our direction.
Blore has played 33 games in 3 years. Our Injury management sucks as AD can attest too.

Sure Blore has a good amount of offloads. That's it. Okay I kinda want to keep Blore but I could easily see Blore injuring himself half way through next year, as he did last year!
 
Blore is a very strong young man , plays hard , gets injured early in his career and people want him gone , please this kid will be better than Seyfarts and Twally , he hasn’t even had Time to fit into his frame , he will be a gun , and we will let him go and regret it , Blore and Pole are the way forward
