Why would Willison come to play off the bench for the Tigers rather than stay at the Broncos in his home State and play off the bench in a side that's around the top 4 and play semi-finals regulalrly.

Unless you make it worth their while...
Josh Alolai for example. Playing here on 300k I think. Manly offer 550k.
Suddenly they "want" to go. Much harder ask for a player to go NZ or QLD to NSW. But can be done.

You can package them all you like but 1) if they don't want to leave you can't force them and (2) there are plenty of other players in the same positions that Penrith could get so why would they want both of them ?

We absolutely need to go to the market , our first grade side lacks still and needs probably 2/3 more players after allowing the 2 panthers joining us , so five in all next season we need to add a big strong hard running hard hitting prop , A centre and a Backrower who runs hard and breaks defence ,
then we look at our reserve grade team and we need a clean out there , they were hopeless on the weekend , probably out of the 13. 6/8 need to go , I’m a bit over this we are a development club , I like the idea to bring your own along but we only have a few really good ones and most are 2/3 years off so what do we do run last for 5 years as we are heading back to last place at a very quick pace dropping spots every week , those young guys won’t hang round when your first and second grade teams are on the bottom , Roosters and co will just come along and simply say your good , we want you , do you want to play on the big stage in finals and grand finals maybe origin ,so you need to move clubs , take a bit less cash and enjoy your football and reap the rewards .

They don't want to come!!!!!
How can he help it if the coach doesn’t put him on the field until the last 20 minutes ?
Benji’s interchange rotations have been diabolical all season.
Willison is a kiwi played junior footy in NZ but came over to QLD at some stage. He might not consider him from there so he may be open to a move, especially if the club is gonna guarantee him a starting spot (if we are gonna try for him I reckon that’s what it will take to have a chance).
While I do agree at times the bench rotation has been poor, in the case of Seyfarth I don’t think he’s done him wrong there. He just offers no impact that’s why he only plays around 20 minutes.
What are you talking about.....
He doesn't get field time, because he doesn't do anything out there to deserve it.
How's Sam Fainu going for game time?
At 20 years old with 12 Games behind him....
Earned himself a starting spot.
Have your 'favourites' all you like, Bottom line is
- If he was a half decent player, He'd be getting game time.
Biggest problem is, We don't have anything better that Alex to take his spot....
Really can’t say players won’t come when the club managed to sign Luai and Turuva from a premiership winning club and premiership winners themselves. Not everyone will come but if 2 players from a team that won the comp is willing to move to the club who came dead last, it shows it is possible.

Totally agree on the need for an impact prop and 2nd rower. (& throw in a lock]
Our current props and second rowers are picked every week by everyone because they are not being pushed by the bench.
We need better than Twal and Seyfarth pushing them [hey play to their maximum but that is not high enough if we expect to progress up the ladder].
If our current props and 2nd rowers are not pushed they can survive without pushing themselves to 100%. We need to get that extra 1% effort to turn things around.
I am sure Benji and Richo would recognise this and are looking/shopping for next year.
Sua, Willison and Tallis Duncan would be a good start.

Exactly, offload all those mediocre players in the top 30 squad ASAP.
Start again but not with similar type players. Speed a very high priority.

Twal?
It's about value for money. Cotric would be our second best winger, if he was on a lower end contract that provides value for money

Our salary cap can only withstand so many players being paid way overs to come to our club. There is a huge issue with current players with salaries being paid way overs like Sullivan and a few younger players in our top 30 having committed to the club on inflated salaries. Its easy to say offload them but we will have to contribute to their salaries to go elsewhere. Papalili, Klemmer, Sullivan, Bateman and a few others that haven't even played first grade yet, just to name a few, while we will need the cash to upgrade Galvin otherwise if there's no room in the cap we will end up losing him and other great kids coming through because of this financial mismanagement

Lifestyle and opportunity at Brisbane will more than offset whatever we can offer him at the moment. Bashing your head against a brick wall isn't the greatest incentive although finishing your season in August for the foreseeable future could be a selling point.
Problem is each club has to spend 97.5% of the cap across 30 players, so you will end up with some players on salaries they most likely don’t deserve or at least not at the time should they show improvement. I get where you’re coming from though.
