Me either. But it shows Richardson can get tough decisions pushed through

Don't think he'll push that one. Smart operators know when to hold them and when to fold them.

Don't think the HBG group would be averse to having Harry on the board...........trouble is that would probably preclude him from TPA's.

How's Fainu training for the guys that know?

And when does Sezer arrive?

This is key.

Can we build a successful combination.

It's been many years since this club had a successful halves combination.

Any finals fantasies hinge on it.

Sezer has been here since the start of preseason….not much footage though…which is intersting

Looks like this trade is actually gonna happen soon. I'm happy with it. Blore has played around 30 games in 4 years with the tigers. Olam is a great player and will be a weapon at centre...

Sezer is already at training leading them around based on the last training pics.

Fainu has been in the recovery/injury group this week.

I’m hoping Luke Laulilli develops into a Brian To’o clone as he’s a fearless ball runner, but lacks height and doesn’t look to be overly fast.

oh but he is.

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.

100+ trips bloody hell... What were you doing up there?
Govt position?

No mate, all business trips. Know the place pretty well.

A weak sub-standard team for 10 years? You do
realise 100 players were in and out of the team
during his tenure at the club?

Congrats on the dumbest arguement of the week…
You know why there was 100 players in and out of the team in his tenure?
- because the majority of them were shite!!
How many of them are still playing at another club?
How many other teams have turned over the same amount of players in that time - I’ll save you the research, because I know the answer…
Zero!!

I’m a fan of Luke Brooks, I hope and believe he will play very well as a 6 at Manly and I wish him all the best except when he’s playing against Wests Tigers.
In better news for Wests Tigers, both Jayden Sullivan and Latu Fainu are more naturally gifted attacking players who have more to offer with ball in hand as they are much more creative with their slight of hand and ball playing, they are also better and more dangerous ball runners.
That’s no discredit to Brooks, just these 2 lads are extremely talented.
The key to them both is their focus, like most up and coming stars, they can only produce their best if they are extremely dedicated, fit and committed.

Oh I do like a good Brooks bashing.

Ahem, still in Tito’s opinion - the worst player I’ve ever seen in my life. Wakeham is a a good as him and on like $80k

Im optimistic of the influence the Jarome Luai move will have on recruitment and retention into 2025.

At the risk of being told to go to the silver tails forum, I think he’ll prove a few of you wrong this year.

What are peoples genuine expectations now leading into 2024? For me, around the 12th to 10 would be a huge improvement. I'm not really expecting much and will let the team decide where they finish. But man, there is something different in the air this time. For the past 4 years, I've never expected much, and I usually kept very reserved about my expectations, but now hopefully we can see improvement.

A too 14 finish is probably a pass mark, but top 8 is achievable.

I still think scoring points will be an issue for 2024. If we get out of the bottom four with this roster would be around par. Obviously young halves are the big unknown.

I've been really impatient with this Club, can't fathom how you can't finish in the top half, 12 years in a row. But, you have to acknowledge that we are currently bottom of the birdcage, if we can win 8-9 games in 2024, I'll be happy, and I think we genuinely make the 8 in 2025. I think we now will have better decision makers making better decisions for WT.
