Wow.

Continually hearing nothing but good things about Lobb.

Is he a ranga?
Would go well with his inevitable nickname

 

[innsaneink]

Two players I'd love to see with us are Greg Marzhew and Matt Timoko... Unfortunately GM signed til 26 and I have a idea Timoko may be locked up long term.as well

Think Timoko would go the same route as Semi Valemei....

(Go to another level at a new club)
Good shout that one.

Marzhew, not sold on.
Think he gets exposed too often.

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??

Settle down fella, my opinion only lol.

I’ve heard the same about Lobb…serious contender to start in FG

Good to hear. Accurate goal kicker. Reckon Staines has the other wing. Noffa in pergatory. Hope things work out with Solomon also.

Good chemistry between Bud & Lobb already as well. Lobb gets a hatrick and Bud carved the roosters up in this NSW cup video.

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

Well if Api's kicking last season with 18/21 kicks at 85.7% isn't considered to be good enough, we can always fall back on either Sezer or Sullivan as there is a pretty good chance that one of them will be playing NRL in 2024.

Last season Wakeham, who is considered to be a very good goal kicker kicked 27/33 at 81.8% and prior to that we had Doueihi kicking somewhere in the low to mid 70% range.

I think the best year Pat Richards had kicking for us was about the same 85.7% as Api achieved for us last season, albeit from a higher number of kick attempts.

People either remember Api's first attempt at goal for us which was a shocker or an absolute pearler that he kicked from the sideline that hit the cross bar and bounced over to win us the game against the Dolphins.

it is now being reported Olam to head to St Helens so maybe we will not sign him after all

Carayannis reporting his going to the Tigers
this morning in a swap with Blore. Said
pending medical check (done this week)

 

[Tom Shines]

lots of “reporting “ about Olam…

three years left - dumb signing for the Tigers if he comes here

 

[Tito Santana]

Mmm I’m feeling very premiershipish. I really am.

 

[JB9918]

Can someone put the DT story up on here from this morning about Olam Blore deal. Thanks!

All good Fox just did an article. Will be same same

Like we did for Matt Ballin.

Benji is giving this a red-hot go. It might take 12 to 24 months, but we need to support Benji, and eventually, WESTS TIGERS will win more than we will lose.

 

[weststigerman]

I really hope we’ve found a way to negotiate Olam’s contract changing to 2 years if he comes here. 3 years is too long.

There’s a fearless prediction 🤣

Someone on here yesterday mentioned the first two years were subsidised by $200k per season (or thereabouts). Assuming the third year is $600k, the 3 year contract averages out at $467k per season. Not overs if he can get back to his best but we would want some decent output.

 

[teddy23]

I was told about 1-2 months ago that he’d be shocked if Olam wasn’t in the team come Round 1 even when reports suggested the deal had fallen through. So I expect it to be done relatively soon.

He comes from a great system, grand final experience and brings a lot of aggression/strength both from the attacking and defensive end. Good signing. Not many good outside backs on the market right now too.

Benji is continuing to cook…..
