Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Is he even in the top 30? What are the odds he never even plays a first grade game?

I haven't seen his name anywhere. Maybe @KingRobbie knows?

He's not even training with the NRL squad mate

@WestsEffTheRest is right, he’s not in the Top 30 and is currently training with Wests Magpies NSW Cup, not the extended NRL squad.

I’m of the opinion that he’s very unlikely to ever play NRL.

Now that Laundys all over the dogs, we need to be hitting up Jaycar for sponsorship. Jaycars owner is a Tigers tragic.

It sounds petty but I like Brayden's lawyers on
the jersey because it matches our teams
colourway. Titans & Canberra's sponsors make
their jerseys look hideous, such an eyesore smh

Wow. Big call, I think he'll be a star in cup once
he gets back to full fitness. Big fast boy, still
young, specialist winger. I can see him getting
a development contract somewhere else if not
with us. Who knows from there, kid can play

Looks like Volkman has failed his Dragons medical.

Tigers will sign him now

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Tigers will sign him now

Has Pascoe got himself a new gig yet? Probably will pop wherever that is.

 

[weststigerman]

Because Payne Hass is the benchmark and is around the same age as him. If someone said let’s swap them I’d take Payne straight away

Of course. Hass is on about twice as much as Stef.

Why aren't we comparing Bula to Reece Walsh or Ice/Bateman with Liam Martin? I'd swap them too.

I have read that Parra had been keeping an eye on Nofa. With Penisini out for the season, does that increase the chances they take him off our hands? Personally, I would love to see him dig in and regain his form of a few years back, but I won't be holding my breath.

I believe it was Will's younger bro, Richard who got injured....

Up and comer but not quite a starter for their top 17.

It's Richard Penisini who's out for the season, he's 18 and was unlikely to play much (if any) NRL this season.

Will Penisini is his older brother who's one of Parra's starting centres.

 

[Red Rugby]

We're looking for a new sponsor soon 😉

That could be on the cards. Arthur was a very big Balmain fan. I think the stumbling block would be the fact that the Tigers are owned by the Holman/Barnes Group.

That’s Richard Penisini out for the year, Will’s little brother. He was only 18 so doubt he would’ve been playing much first grade anyway

Hope so man.

He looks the part.
Good luck to him.

If that were the case, wouldn’t he at least be apart of the extended squad? The track record of our supporter base wanting to give the keys to the castle to these types of players who never even make the grade is long and illustrious.

He played one game for us in 2022 & then blew
out his knee in pre-season missing the whole
year in 2023 is probably why. He has a load of
potential is all I'm saying, nobody is talking
about giving him or anyone else the keys to the
castle haha. I just wouldn't be so quick to write
him off that's all. I'm picking a fully fit Ngutlik
over Casey, Ryan Garner & dare I say it Jay Kirk

 

[tigerballs]

He is the best prop since The brick with Eyes

I'm throwing Webke in there. Gees, Brisbane can find a prop....

 

[weststigerman]

He's the best prop ever IMO.

Don't remember another prop commanding top shelf halfback money.

He’s a machine that can play 80 mins. In this day and age with the speed of the game, that kind ability is incredible.

Lol too early for drinking.

Speaking of exaggeration, Stef is coming into his 5th year of NRL, so I'm not sure where you're pulling 2nd year syndrome from so I guess your 'point' is not valid.

I watch the games and his stats back up what I saw. He's improved every year, and if he keeps improving he will be a top echelon prop in a couple of years. He was picked for SOO while in a team coming 17th so it looks like I wasn't the only one impressed.

My mistake... Was. Thinking of someone else... Yes he's had 4 years if you include the 3 games in his first season in NRL at parra.

I haven't seen that much improvement in him he needs much much more... And yeh people may have been Impressed that led to origin selection but his performance in the blue jersey was anything but impressive
