If you've never seen him before you must not have watched the Tigers much!

Has nof been injured or something? Haven't seen a great deal of him and usually he tries to get in every photo they take?

Just like Bula did this year, I am tipping Narven Willet to be in 1st grade by the end of the year, keep on hearing good things about him.

He's apparently 6 foot and a real lot tall so he ought to be swan diving from the 10 metre line ala Paul Cross.

I get that this was an already answered question, but is there really a need to have a shot at the poster for not knowing who he is? Must be off season- the time when everyone is more interested in looking more knowledgable..

Not Tigers, but seemed the most appropriate thread.

Well made, quite a number of former Tigers have ended up there.

I remember doing boxing at Balmain PCYC and he'd train there every so often. I am positive it was after his injury. I hardly spoke to him but he seemed happy enough.

I used to train with him. His first fight was against Justin Fortune who went on to have a fair pro career in the U.S. and them become Manny Pacquiao's trainer. Bruce had him beat but couldn't put him away because he had no footwork. His knee was obliterated to the point he looked like he had a wooden leg. Ended up having a few professional bouts. Still a well known character around Balmain.

Anyone know if bud is nursing a injury or anything noticed in the photos just put up on the tigers website he's wearing shoes at training and not boots like everyone else? Could be reading into it to much just seems odd that's all

Lot of them were wearing shoes, including
Feledy, Luke Laulilii. Benji & Moussa are managing workloads 1st time in ages...

Players are in different groups working
on different things. Really professional

I think you are reading wayyy to much into those pics mate.

Yeh I had a feeling I may have been just seemed odd, then went back through the photos after someone replied saying there were a few people also in shoes and realised I'm just an idiot aha

And that bandage on his right leg is just there to cover up his latest tattoo of Lee and Pascoe.

BTR Pre-season Podcast: Chris Faagutu

Wests Tigers official podcast Behind The Roar is shining a light on some of the club’s younger players as pre-season training heats up over the summer.

Has dropped from 101kg to 97kg due to intense pre-season training. Sees himself more as a ball-playing middle than your typical Polynesian impact middle. I think the Club will progress him as a ball-playing prop (not lock) given our plethora of locks.

Hopefully he puts it back on.

At 178cm and 97kgs he'd be the smallest prop in the comp.

It's good that we have forwards of different sizes and builds but i can't think of any other props in the comp that are under 100kgs

anyone know who this is? Was featured 3-4 times in today gallery. A nsw cup recruit i imagine

Reuben Cotter comes to mind, but as you said it's very rare to make it at that size. Hopefully he has a bit more growing to do.
