Wests Tigers apparently eyeing Nelson Asofa-Solomona

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

We won’t be getting Willison, not sure how some think we will ?
The point I am making is if we retain Stef, there probably won’t be enough money to sign Royce Hunt in any case.
But if we lose Stef we will desperately need a prop with plenty of size and impact to strike a big of fear in the opposition and even if it is only for 25-30 minutes per game, Hunt would be the only prop currently available who could provide what we would be missing from Stef.
If we are being honest Stef only really provides 25-30 minutes f quality each game in any case.

I don't understand how you can basically live on here but missed Richo saying 2 weeks ago that we have 1-2 spots left with 1-2 mil to play with (the variation here is whether Stefano re signs)

We have plenty of cap money, our issue is roster spots.

Our biggest issue is our next game... really....you were close ... roster. Rooster

Well that must be Tigers saying Steph is not signing his contract offer activate plan B.

There is a meeting this week with Stef and his manager about the contract

 

[Tom Shines]

Thank god we're not paying anywhere near that much

You wouldn’t have a clue how much any Wests Tigers player gets paid

They’ve just said on 360 if Stef decides to leave we’ll be making a big play for NAS.

so we believe them about that ? I’m sure Richo is leaking info to them about who he is targeting..

Thats good, hope we get a decision one way or another. Richo has a good relationship with the manager, maybe a 50-100k bump a year

1 Sofa Solomon = 2 Soft Stefs

He wasn’t soft yesterday. Be good to see the same against the chooks. Really take it to JWH and say i am the new bull in town

 

[hsvjones]

looks like Sitili Tupouniua will be off to the Dogs of course..
He would of been a good addition until these younger blokes come through.

Galvin pleads for Utoikamanu to remain with WTS -https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/galvin-pleads-for-utoikamanu-to-stay-with-him-at-tigers/ar-BB1oLsYt?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=fa197fb6181b4fb8ab4f909e533b7e3a&ei=10

I can't open the link paws but reading the headline sounds like positive vibes happening at the club

Retaining the Ute would be absolutely massive for the club and the young forwards coming through

Also shows Galvin is committed to commit beyond current contract

With Luai coming the future would be amazing if Ute committed as well

It's on the Stef thread.

I know ppl will laugh but give me Ute any day of the week

Put Ute in that storm system and you have Payne hass playing for the storm

I'm not sure anyone doubts that Stef is better then NAS and considerably younger. However if we can't keep Stef then it doesent matter how good Stef is it becomes what else can we bring in and how do they mix with what else we had.

Without Stef we have
Pole
Klemmer
Twal
Sione Fainu
Jordan Miller
Chris Faagutu
Rueban Porter

I think NAS gives you size, power, would be a great one for Miller to learn off given their similar size players and also is one of the best available and still has 2-3 years left in him.

Geez I really hope we don't. Doesn't have the same impact he use to have offensively and always seems to get penalized for a brain explosion every game.

Dragons going after NAS will be interesting
