Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Klemmer and a gamble on a youngster still to make first grade for Luai seems like a decent no brainer swap to me.

Idk what is too difficult about that decision.

We are all complaining about having shit halves .. So bite the bullet and make it fkn happen. Do we want to get the club moving or what ? Do we want to finally have good halves .. , or still just stay in a rut.
Too bad if come Round 1 with no pre season training & conditioning that we throw Luai into the deep end and he busts his shoulder again and is out for the year. Oh, so leave him recouping along with Doohey until he gets better? Nah! Let him rehab at Penrith.

I don’t think the shoulder is anything serious. Just sounds like clean up work. He’ll probably be good to go in January.
 
He's far more than a gamble ? .. he hasn't even stepped into the big arena at tigers

Melbourne and Panthers may have seen his potential in lower grades .. but haven't in fg

It's a total different ball game
I want the club to be as good as the Panthers, Storm, Broncos etc? I believe we learn from what they do and giving away a junior who has been identified now as something special really does not cut it for me especially when there is the possibility of having both in 25.

What if that youngster turns out to be another Brad Fittler ? I know the odds are against it, but why would two big clubs be so keen ?
 
Penrith and the chin father and son can go rot in hell, sign Luai from 25 onward, that will give Benji 12 months to start getting the team playing his way and getting him more experience, he is only starting out realistically Luai here this year won't make much diffrence. The Panthers aren't in a position to demand anything.

halves will do nothing without a decent pack in front of them, its a story as old as time.

you lose Klemmer and suddenly we lose some of the go forward and security we had in the middle defensively last year. you think a forward rotation of Utoikamanu, Twal, Pole and Seyfarth could actually give Luai the platform he needs? give me a break.
 
The Panthers are believed to want two of the Tigers' key players - a veteran prop and a boom rookie - before entertaining any deal for 2024.

Sources have told Wide World of Sports that if the Tigers agree to swap Luai for prop David Klemmer and young halfback sensation Lachlan Galvin, the deal could be done immediately.

Yeah, nah! Go f yourselves chocolate starfish.
Two players for one year extra, if he wants to come over we can wait a year!

What about a middle rotation of Uto, Blore to start with Twal & Pole off the bench? Seyfarth, Sione Fainu & our NSW Cup middles would be the depth if required (maybe Samuela Fainu on occasions). Then Blore leaves in '25 with AFB coming in!

Even by WT standards that would be a horrendous deal.
 
I wouldn't even give up Seyfarth. It's just BS games. Sign him for 25. If they want a swap no worries you can have heaps of players. Jayden Sullivan, Sione Fainu, Brandon Tumeth, Adam Doueihi, Asu Kepaoa, Jake Simpkin. David Nofoaluma and Aidan Sezer. They can have 3 of them.
Yeah there’s a host of names we could give up before Klem and Galvin. I reckon Luai is gunna want Klem here. Luai is gunna wanna play behind a descent pack and no Klem would weaken our pack. Unless we have AFB locked up and I can’t see that happening.
Galvin has big wraps on him and can play a lot of positions he really does sound a keeper. That’s why they want him.
Penrith are taking the pee, they wanna see how desperate we are; give us your best prop and your best junior. Snap out of it.

Only way I would even go yes would be if AFB was signed as well and could get both for next season otherwise just wait for 25.

Galvin & Klem for Luai is alot to give up multi year v 1yr gain and risk of prop stocks lacking otherwise.

That swap would be based on desperation only.

Klem is our best forward and Galvin our best prospect. Keep them for all money.

In all honesty, 2025 is where it’s at for WT anyway.
 
Ok tigers board and benji listen up

Call up the warriors now tell em we want afb this year for Papalii! Swap Klem for luai and maybe Simpkin but hands off Galvin

Keep Blore for the year we have enough backs no need for olam besides we have some hidden talent that can develop

Lastly with all the bros n Fulton at tiger town go hard for Olakau’atu for 2025

It’s rlly that simple, go make it happen now.
