Well imo humble opinion Faagutu is the best young lock prospect we have at the club.

I agree & hope his future is at the Tigers but I guess given recent activity with Galvin once burnt twice shy as they say.

Didn't he stay with us despite interest from the Storm? I don't believe we can arbitrarily write off a player because of his manager. I'm sure Richardson can calm troubled waters to get the outcome we want.

Junior Amone has not succeeded in having his sentence halved from 2 years for the hammer attack on a tradesman at Warrawong. The judge re-sentenced him to a 16-month intensive correction order meaning he will not be eligible to return to the NRL until October 25.

Stefano Utoikamanu has officially been granted permission to test the NRL open market, with the Wests Tigers remaining confident the prop will sign a long-term extension.
The 24-year-old has emerged as one of the most in-demand players in the competition and with some unique clauses in his current deal, looks set to become a free agent.
Utoikamanu has been linked with a move to multiple clubs and has publicly expressed his desire to land at a winning organisation after a tough stretch at Concord.
In a statement released on Wednesday afternoon, the Tigers confirmed the front-rower has been formally granted permission to look around - a decision that chief executive Shane Richardson claims the club are "comfortable" with.

Like Twal, he'll find out how much other clubs really value him.
I know u are been hopeful that these guys will turn into 1st grade players, but at best they are 2-3 years away , SO in the mean time what are we going to do , WAIT again and lose more players , we need to go into the market and buy some hard nosed forwards untill the kids come through

This will be interesting. Riccio was absolutely rock solid on SEN that another club, who he wouldn't name, are prepared to go to $1M per year for him. He says he want to be at a winning club - the only ones that pretty much always fit that criteria are Melbourne, Penrith, Roosters and maybe Brisbane and Sharks at a pinch, but they are a tier below. Will they pay him $1M a year? Doubt it, not on the books anyway (Chooks). He will only get $1M at a club like St George, Warriors, etc. Hardly winning clubs. Wonder if he ends up at the Rabbitohs under Wayne?

That’s what I’m actually saying if Stef departs.
Someone like Royce Hunt to add to our prop rotation with Klemmer, Pole, Twal & Seyfarth with Miller, Faagutu, Herman etc getting the odd run.
Not a signings suggestion or rumour, only wanted to share the following news about Benji's nephew. One to keep an eye on 🤔
Benji Marshall, head coach for the West Tigers. (Getty)
The nephew of golden boy Benji Marshall has signed with the Gold Coast Titans.
Taane Marshall-Wallace, a powerfully built 15-year-old outside back, is held in such high opinion by the Titans that he has been given a four-year deal.
Marshall-Wallace hails from Waimana in the Bay of Plenty, and is another Kiwi rugby union convert.
He was playing the 15-a-side game up until only three months ago and has wasted no time making an impact in league against players one and two years older than him.
"He's a big kid with good skills - we are very excited about him," a Titans source told Wide World of Sports.

I’d put the clubs in order of most likely as follows:
Storm
Roosters
Bulldogs
Panthers
I’m sure there will be “Third party deals” involved 🙄

Gus won't get involved in a bidding war so you can cross them off.
As much as I love Robbie, if we could move him into a more business focussed role I'd look at a Holbrook or Arthur to come on as an assistant

Of course he will if it's a player he wants and values.

Gus will do what ever it takes and that includes lying about not getting involved in a bidding war.
If he's an Isaac Moses client then Isaac will convince him to leave
Arthur won’t happen. Looks like he’s going to move to Perth to build the new team.
