Too funny Vlad. Not from Romania Vlad? Dracula country.

More than that. There is no news. Its people just regurgitating what they hear. Like myself. If you want the news. I think there is a sports app. Sorry to ruin your day. Now. If you just ignore all my posts- inbetween - you will find all your signings. Hammerhead.

Keep on truckin', X!!

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Stephen. Love your wording. Hope you are being real. Not a gang land thing. If not. Well said. Keep trucking. Love it.

Next it will be Bula, sure as anything.

Only if he doesn't deliver. Stef has been massively overrated on here. My opinion on him is the same as what it has been since he got here. He has a lot of potential and can do some good things and he might have the ability to become a top tier prop. He hasn't performed anywhere near that level though. Would he be one of the top 10 props in the comp ?

I think Bula is a little different. He came from nowhere and so far has been really good without showing elite level ability. I'm not sure if he has that ability. Bula mightn't be a top tier player yet but he appears very Dylan Edwards like to me and that is pretty good.

Sometimes I get excited to log in and see there have been a few pages accumulated... thinking, maybe there has been some news?

But then find @AmericanHistoryX has decided to go on a posting spree.

Loool he's a lunatic but he's a tiger just like us

Not sure how i feel about Luai, he is a class player but not sure about his game management ability. But i am starting to come around to him. If he has the desire to prove Cleary wrong then we are the right club for him.
I am pretty sure i am not the only fan that despises Ivan for the position he left us in.
And would love to rub it on his face.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

If his desire is too prove Clearly wrong. Then good luck to the team that picks him up.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Despise Ivan? As a Wests Tigers fan under Ivan was the last time I believed we could be a good team. Ivan is different. Dont know what it is. Just felt we had a chance.

There is no danger in stefano
Just an average prop with potential at this point imo

Avg. 🤷‍♂️.

Hard marker mate.

We’re all loonies eh? Have to be to support the Tigers!

Don’t understand the Stefano hate at all. Sure he isn’t one of the best props in the game as of yet, but he’s our best by far.

He isn’t potential anymore - we’ve seen him dominate packs on his own he just needs to work on consistency his still 23 he’s still growing into his body and learning the game. His performance this year got him a SOS debut so he must be doing something right.

Give this kid a full preseason with Benji as coach next year and a new promising halves combination in Seizer, Sullivan and Fainu - I believe he’ll take that step we’re all waiting for.

He’s a future captain candidate just wait for it.

Agree. Massive islander with good mobility, big motor and a good attitude. We are bloody lucky to have him and develop him. We can't hope for the finished product halfway through production.

I don’t watch with my tigers glasses on 😉 😉
Hasn’t dominated outside of a few runs here and there. I do rate him but you wouldn’t say that the team misses him that much when he’s out

 

[Eternal Tiger]

I'm not sold on Stef becoming elite yet. Doesn't have mongrel in him yet, no opposition player would fear him.. Waerea Hargreaves, Fonua Blake, Paulo, Fisher Harris all instil fear into the opposition.

Would most likely start in any nrl team.

Bit above avg🤷‍♂️

Stef is fine. Lad is yet to hit his straps.

On Luai, he's borderline special needs, living in Cleary's shadow, a big noting arrogant knobhead and he'd still walk backwards into our top 17.

Disagree I see him as an ultra competitive guy with natural talent. We have lacked that really hard nose player for a long time

 

[hank37w]

AFB behind Haas is the best prop in the game.

If it’s for 2025 he’d be the perfect replacement for Klemmer.

AFB and Stefano would be one of the most dangerous starting prop rotations in the league.

Agree with you on Haas and Blake but yet to see it from Stefano.

He's been given chances to show it but apart from a few rare glimpses I'm far from convinced that he is anywhere near that dangerous category at this point in his career.

Maybe with consistent improvement through next season, an injury free run and taking into account his relatively young age he could get there around 2025.

I hope to god we don’t sign luai… our culture sucks enough as it is, I simply can’t get behind that bloke.
