It's OK to let players leave, but why mid- season ??, we don't have the class to replace them with what we have, surely we can do the same and start getting players from other clubs mid season.I guess other clubs have players that want a shot at playing 1st grade that will at least have that opportunity at our club??

Why mid season???? Instant gratification

Interesting that Kepaoa is same management (Wassermanns) as Papali'i & Uto. The other player in our squad with that management is To'a.

Isaac Moses manages Galvin, Bateman & Klemmer.

Be interesting if there is any noise soon about any of these players.

I wouldn't feel terrible if all of them left tbh. Galvin included. Given the attitude of some of the guys here, their weekly effort or their respective salaries, there are benefits of clearing out deadwood and problems. A new era has to begin

Stefano is going to get paid no matter what.

I doubt it.

He's not in the top 10 props in the game currently, barely even top 20.

Do you really think he's going to be in the top 3 highest paid?

We overpay players out of desperation. Other clubs do not, and that's how they manage their caps better than we do.

He's not AFB, Haas, JFH or even remotely in their league as million dollar props.

Telegraph reporting that Asu Kepaoa is about to depart mid season for Penrith Panthers, joining several other ex Tigers there:

Penrith are set to capitalise on the upheaval at the Wests Tigers and secure extra insurance for the potential departure of Taylan May by signing utility Asu Kepaoa with immediate effect.

**This masthead** understands that Kepaoa will undergo a medical with the Panthers and sign for the remainder of this season as well as next year with the defending premiers after being granted permission by the Tigers to explore the open market.

Kepaoa has made 42 appearances for the Tigers since making his debut four years ago, although only two of those games have been this year.
He played against St George Illawarra in round six off the interchange bench and then against the Dolphins in round 11 from the back row.

He has now become the latest departure as the Tigers undertake a cleanup of their roster in preparation for next season, when they hope to add to the big-name signings of Jarome Luai and Sunia Turuva.

Will be to either bring kids into the squad and upgrade existing deals using this years cap.

In saying that AJ gone means 1 more spot for next year. Our roster was shot and in a mess.

Richo & Benji have some major cleanup work to do.

I highly doubt it, it would be pretty insulting if they do that.

Our first grade squad is rubbish, our cup squad is rubbish. Anyone in our cup squad can already play first grade. We need to strengthen our depth and quality by bringing in new talent to push us higher. It's incredibly obvious.

Even if it's Cup toilers like a Skelton, Riki, Stonestreet, or getting a layer 6 months early like a Savage, Mooney, Iro, Tapuha, Kaufusi etc.

We won't be signing superstars right now but players who aren't with a shot of first grade at their current clubs could take a spot with the opportunity to play for an extension or players getting squeezed out at other clubs may be offloaded early.
