Really. Dragons have multiple options at Centre.
Talk is they will start with Suli and Bird with Lomax at Fullback. But at any stage they needs a change Lomax returns and Bird goes into the forwards.
I’m struggling to see how Corey Allan was getting any first grade time?

I don’t think Bird is a centre any more.

I do think the Lomax at fullback experiment will fail again like it did last time though.

Just listened to Bloke in a Bar... Tyrell May.
Will go to any club 'in Sydney' if they take package deal with one or both for 2025!!
Taylan anyone... Solves centre / wing position and aggressive bench prop. Would come reasonably cheap.
Also, great mates with Luia.

The big risk with this is the off field risk. I'd happily take the first 2 but I'd prefer we don't get any if Tyrone has to come too

Maybe to a point but say one is a Highlander and one Coastal and relations already somewhat strained.
But I could be wrong, I only visited PNG( all areas) about 4 times a year from 1989-2016 or a total of about 100+ visits.
Or maybe they’ll end up best buds, which would a great outcome for us. Or maybe Jimmy might never get to the firsts, which I think someone else said.

Yea, ah then it gets a bit crazy. But hey everything is crazy in PNG.

As an aid worker told me " look I have seen villages massacred. But this is Sister killing Brother, brother killing sister with Machette!"

So if it was a group of Sepik's, yea they spark and fight EVERYONE. If it's the Highlanders as Olam is a Highlander... they often fight with the coastal people. But Olam ain't a gang and I think that will prove the difference.

Okay, it won't matter until anyone drinks 1/3rd of a beer, then it's all on.

Our front office were useless, how can we lose guys like Jaycar, Laudy and Meriton. All Tigers supporters Jaycar and Laundy ended up sponsoring the Bulldogs. How could Pasco be considered a financial success when under his watch corporate support that we should have been a shoe in to recieve was squandered and left to go to other clubs. Meriton started to pull back after the Rozelle leagues club fiasco by not being given an opportunity to provide the Reno. I can understand after all the financial support Harry gave to Balmain it would have felt like a kick up the rear. But losing Jaycars and Laundys money is inexcusable.

Not all that straightforward.

Jaycar I don't know the exact story, but Gary Johnston the founder was a Magpies man. His wife however is a mad Bulldogs supporter.

Laundy claimed to be a Tigers supporter but as far as I can tell his main link was a friendship with Tim Sheens. Recent comments from Laundy he calls himself a Bulldogs supporter. His son is 100% a Bulldogs supporter.

In those respects I don't believe Laundy ever sponsored Wests Tigers. I believe Jaycar was mostly a low-tier sponsor of Maggies.

Meriton's sponsorship had nothing to do with the Leagues Club site. Harry always said he only sponsored the Tigers if they couldn't find another sponsor; he wasn't interested in advertising his company through NRL - said this in public. But he still gives the Tigers financial support year-on-year.

The Highlanders are not really liked by anyone else, especially when they gravitate down to POM or Lae and introduce their “unique” style of conflict resolution !

But who is going to take the trinkets to Harry now that Pascoe is gone?

Still think that Laundy logo would look pretty good on a Wests Tigers jersey.

Na man…
Easier to blame Pascoe because Jaycar sponsors the Dogs and not the Tigers…
Even though that’s been the case since the late 2000’s - years before Pascoe started working for the Tigers
 
What’s all this about Jaycar and the Tigers? As far as I know, Jaycar has never sponsored the Wests Tigers. Can someone fill me in please?
