I can't see that '25 futures market on my TAB app
Get into enough trouble as it is without betting on a result almost 2 years away
Old. Man hated betting on footy used to say a horse race is all over in 60 secs 🤣

Maybe for his horses it is, mine seem to always take a little bit longer ,,,, 🥸

The media said he was set to reject Tigers and another club and was to re-sign for Knights BUT I don't believe it has been announced yet but could be wrong.

Just had a quick check on the Knights website. I found nothing on an official announcement about Best re-signing with them. I still think he’ll stay with them though, if we’re getting a Centre, it’s Olam.

I think our next signing will be To'o, but if we sign Best that would be even better.

Huh? To’o is an absolute weapon of a player..

How good would this be:

1. Bula
6. Latu
7. Laui
13.Galvin
9.Api/Da-Silva
14. Sullivan


A top 4 spine....if they stay together could lead the WT to a dynasty like the Riff

I like it,, Galvin Either 13 or 3/4 ,, just get him in the team, get all of them in playing together and firing

His management is same as Luai's. They are very good at getting more money out of clubs

Lobb a Round 2 bolter in the wake of Tupou heading for the exits?

Comfortable with him defending in the middle at 13?

Wow.

Continually hearing nothing but good things about Lobb.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

I don’t see Sullivan lasting 2 seasons with us, let alone 4. He will be the first to go given the strength of our halves stocks.

FFS give the guy a chance will ya? He signed here for 4 years and for some reason we want him Gone? He literally could be anything , he is a fast, fit, talented young bloke who came to the club because of a vision Benji sold to him.. apparently he is training the house down, let’s see how this young playing group gel together before we start writing them off is my hope??

Lobb has been mentioned as a winger, has he played much centre?

Down the track yes,, when he is ready

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

Minor detail ... Who is gonna be our goal kicker? We haven't had a decent kicker since Hodgo!

That’s interesting re Olam and the storm picking up some freight, I’m not sure whether it was you or not could have even been in the media. But there was a suggestion Olam wanted more to come to Sydney to play which is roughly when we went cold I believe. Olam with the storm picking up considerable freight even for 2 yrs is decent business imo.

Sezer, Sullivan both can kick as can Api.

Very encouraging about Lobb, we need reliable wingers and a big lad like Lobb could be a great ying to Staines yang. Not to mention the goal kicking.
Also, I have not been a big fan of the olam move, but if Melbourne are picking up a fair bit of that tab I think that changes the equation. If he's past it then so be it, he becomes a very handy back up, if not then also a win.
