Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

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.

If I had the choice, I'd go To'o ... brings experience, leadership, yardage, defence and a much bigger culture boost than another ego-driven teenager.

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...

I think Galvin has surprised the club. The future is/was supposed to be Latu. That's why they paid him the way they did. Galvin is a 'bonus'. If they were to trade him to upgrade elsewhere, I think it's understandable, however half the fan base/media will lose their minds until Latu owns that #6 position.

To'o earning close to a mill is more justified than Val but you are correct, both will improve us considerably.

There goes half our recruitment money, AND no replacement pigs?
Your dreaming.

A lot of talk surrounding potential outside backs.
Where is the talk surrounding the real heros in a football squad? .....WE NEED FORWARDS!!!!!!!!!

Highly likely this has been initiated from JL who is one of his best mates and would be doing all he can to get some quality players to join him here and help turn us into a much better team.

To’o and Luai are basically brothers & also business partners. They do everything together. I would be surprised if they’re not in it together if it’s true.

One would think given Parra have announced Talagi leaving something will eventuate today

Talagi to Penrith and To’o to Tigers would be good. I think I would rather that than Talagi to Tigers, brings a wealth of experience with him.

Either way, wouldn’t be complaining

You dont just pay that sum. Deals are made, swaps, shared consideration.

Blaize is going to Penrith.

Id be amazed if we get To’o.

People entertaining anything which involves losing Galvin need to put the pipe down immediately

Unless we somehow bait to get Haas, we will always lose a trade if Galvin goes

we absolutely need forwards, but Stevie Wonder could see how vital it is we fix our yardage issue in the back five. our pack is constantly being put under pressure because Bula, Staines and Faataape can’t bend the line.

if we’re able to build a powerful backline, then our forward pack can front load their energy into their defensive work and get the ball in their hands downfield.

Why are we showing no interest in Val Holmes? If he’s not on the radar, Benji and Richo have questions to answer.

Because when he was schooled by Starford To'a it was a window into the future of how he would play if he came to Wests Tigers. 🤣

Should we try galvin at centre? It could be a matt burton situation at least where he has a gun year and maybe he might reconsider staying?

 

[rugbygoated]

Sarcasm or Realism?

Delusion. Us tigers fans are victims of it

 

[innsaneink]

Is this good news? I don't think so. We have youngsters, we need proven NRL stars

Would rather To'o

I thought blauze wanted to be a fullback

EVERYONE THIS IS NOT A DRILL TIM JOHANNSSEN WILL DEBUT THIS THURSDAY
