Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

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.

It would be just the sort of stupidity and insanity that our club has been doing since inception.I hope that we tell the pamfers to get nicked because it is a case of short term break even and probable long term loss imho

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.

Strongly disagree.
We will have Luai in 2025 anyway if he agrees to join us.
We need Klem and Galvin could be anything. The fact the Panthers want him speaks volumes

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Love it. Not a player swap. But 2 4 1. Where do I sign up for a Wests Tigers membership???

 

[Newtown]

I can see us entertaining that to be honest.

That depends on how old is Galvin and when would he be expected to play first grade.

Look at what you’re giving up though. If you can have Luai in 2025 why would you give up these guys?

And when Luai will take us to the promised land?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Luai been there done that. Galvin not yet. Thats his dream.

Totally agree losing Galvin would be a disaster he’s the same age as Fainu and a better player, Galvin can organise, kick and run the kid is the total package. Would be the perfect half for Luai but once again we have spent big bucks on Sullivan and Fainu. If this was any other commercial entity the financial management they show is mind blowingly amateur. Paying out mistakes has been accepted as fail safe measure by this board. Now the liklehood of paying out Klemmer and Fulton is about to happen but it’s ok it’s only a couple of million bucks, no problemo.

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.

Oka is signed for season 2025 already and there is no way they release early

 

[Tucker]

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.

100%.
This was what I was about to respond with but thought I’d check to see if it had already been said.
Spot on.

SuperCoach doesn‘t open till after Australia Day.

Galvin is 18, same age as Latu Fainu.

Don’t see Galvin playing NRL any time soon.

 

[KingRobbie]

They’re the same age.

Fainu has played 9 games of NSW Cup and a Test match.

Galvin hasn’t even played Jersey Flegg yet.

 

[tigermate]

I’ve been told by the higher ups that it’s just people spreading rumors with agendas.

So I don’t think the swap is happening thank god

💯
We are just debating the timing.

The sooner the better. Enough of the wasted seasons

 

[Kaito]

Big call OG I can see Sullivan being a utility
soon enough, he's got that spark. Or even
getting homesick again. He'll probably
start the season but Latu is the real deal

🤣🤣🤣
Ok, a bit to go through here.
So you want to give away a current Test backrower who was a member of the team that flogged the Kangaroos for a restless prop? I’d take AFB but I’m not shipping out Paps for him.
Letting Klemmer go is not smart. He was our best forward this year. Weakening our pack to strengthen the halves will not work.
Blore should be traded. He hasn’t done Jack shit the whole time he has been here. Deadset liability.
We do not have any quality backs outside Bula. The backline (not halves) should be our priority for next year.
I thought Ola wasn’t free until 2026?

The Bulldogs are signing decent players. No doubt about that. But at what cost? None of those guys will be coming on unders. They will all be on good coin. They will have another salary cap nightmare in 2 years, but apparently Gus can somehow weave enough magic to make that go away. Or maybe he has no intention of being there in 2 years and doesn't care if this blows up in his face.

 

[balmain boy]

Correct. He came through the juniors primarily playing left centre. Although he had a much slighter frame. He's clearly bulked up the last couple years to play on the wing.

He would be good in the centre but may need to lose a few kgs to maximise his potential there.

Tupou is only going to put on weight. He's already very skinny. As he fills out with age his frame will only get bigger. He's still a winger for now. Needs to get more involved and talk more if he wants to play centre
