He can play centre or fullback. Honestly think bula could move to centre with talagi fullback if he comes

I really am warming to the idea of Bula in the centres. Obviously big questions around his defence but if he added a few kilos he would he a real asset on the edge. Regardless, if the Talagi thing is true Bula will really benefit from some proper competition

I can’t agree that Holmes is even worth $800k … maybe $700k… for two years with a third year option in the Tigers favour …if that doesn’t get it done then move on …

Of course the lower the cost the better and common sense says you do not give a contract of more than a couple of years to any player who will soon been on the wrong side of 30.
Clearly To’o should be and supposedly is our number 1 target in the outside backs, but there has to be a back up plan if that doesn’t come off and Val certainly provides plenty of qualities that are far superior to our current outside backs.
So it’s either spend the money to get some quality or stick with what we have or add more run of the mill type players and hope for the best.

CH9 with the headline "Eel on the move". Either way it is bad news for the Eels

Watch how little NRL360 scrutinise this...complete contrast to how the Tigers are reported on

Talagi's relationship with Galvin at lower levels could be a motivating factor. Richo, bring out the crocodile roll!

Parra believe Talagi is heading to Panthers, according to Weidler on X.

 

[Hbom]

Well this got interesting.

 

[Robbie's Love Child]

Is Blaze the player Richo was referring to yesterday perhaps?

Parra fans word for word the same as Tigers fans re Stef 😂

Not funny at all. He is the best of the best in this area & if he ever did join with Turuva we instantly get a 250+ mtr a game uplift + speed of play advantage etc.

Dreams can come true but doubt this will be one of them.

If he did come give Luai keys the club right now.

Whilst I obviously want To'o here and he would certainly improve our yardage, I don't necessarily think the improvement would be that dramatic. To'o is used to taking the majority of runs after his forwards have forced a long kick. Unless we find a forward pack he will be taking most his runs out of his own corner.

correct ..but they can look for forward upgrades too ..

Sounds more realistic

Penrith might have found a sombrero like the Roosters and Dogs did

You will notice they let the kid walk off after May's assault.. Unless he ahd already deleted the pic, I dont think that was the issue.

Yeah, the kid was just probably being an annoying f*ck, reminds me of Chester and Spike.

 

[The Chad]

The To'o thing in my mind has to be driven by contract values & making cap room. I guessed at Utoikamanu. But maybe it's Talagi?

Both players fit a need for the Panthers. Both would be big contract numbers.

I'm starting to actually believe the To'o stories.

I actually would consider using Galvin as trade bait for an elite player in another position, as heart breaking it would be. I expect Galvin to be an absolute superstar, but we have Jarome, Latu and other options in halves. As painful as it would be to see him go, if it was to get a superstar in a position we are needing for 2025 and beyond...

Oh give it a rest... Your playing the victim card is tiring... You were wrong about them on Monday re/Stefano.... We also as fans need to change this defeatist attitude

 

[WestsTigers4VR]

Swear if by the beginning of next year we don’t have either Blaize or To’o but instead someone like Jack Bird I’m finna flip my shi

 

[philgood]

You dont let Galvin go under any cirumstance

nah ..keep him one more year … try and convince him to stay in the meantime … if he still wants to go then trade him at that time

Well if he said it, Id rule Penrith out.
