The moment you are no longer a child you’re already dead.

Best thing you said all year. Love finger painting.

I try to keep philosophical bullshit to myself.

I didn't mean to.hurt your feelings. You started the fantasy. Pulling names out of your ass. Guessing. You know. Bro. Keeping real. Better not say nothing... dont want to offend you. Im sure there are plenty others that do that well.

Yea I better not talk Tigers stuff on a Tigers forum. I might let my wife and kids down ay?

Your true colours have been revealed behind your colourful cryptic posts. Quite nasty. At least now I know. I thought we were cool with each other. Fool me once..

I mean, KS, what a weird place to talk about Wests Tigers. On a Wests Tigers Forum. With other Wests Tigers fans. 😯 Are you like me (and most of us, I suspect) and you talk about other things in other places?? 😲

Well in fact Suzie. It's not Wests Tigers. It's a hypothesis of fantasy based on other players that are not coming here. And then kill every other thread not to do with Wests Tigers.

Im cool with you. Just you surprised me with lotto numbers that you want us to buy. I mean. You are not a king for nothing. As if you know what Benji is thinking. Really.

Where did he pull them names from ?
You are on fire tonight AHX, time for a couple of Red Bull and Vodka’s.
We have the best recruitment team in the NRL on this forum, if Benji and Richo want to make the top 8, they need to keep up to date with us,

Bringing someone's family into things is not being cool. We're done. Try contributing something, anything of note on the forum rather then your gibber.

I'll leave you here.

And every now and then someone actually has heard something and it’s all worthwhile 👍

So on BTR, Chris Warren alluded to some club extensions being announced next week including Tim Johannssen for 2 seasons.

Given we have only 1 roster spot (that we know of) in the top 30 for next season currently available with Stef's departure, I reckon these announcements will be for the Supplementary list or Train & Train list.

Under new salary cap rules, the Supplementary list is for a minimum 4, maximum 6 players on $80,000 each with $3K bonuses for NRL games (cap of $650k), can play from Round 1. This used to be called Development contracts.

Train & Trial contracts are now $1,200 per week, $3,000 NRL game bonus, can play from Round 11.

I'm predicting the following ...

Supp List (note- thinking they will want NRL ready players in this group)
- Heath Mason (already contracted for '25)
- Alex Lobb (already contracted for '25)
- Solomona Faataape
- Reuben Porter
- Nav Willett
- 1 spot left to fill

T & T contract (note - looking mainly at those who are Jersey Flegg this year but given experience in Cup already)
- Tim Johannssen (23 next year)
- Cayne Nicholas (22 next year)
- Vaka Aho (22 next year)
- Herman Tofaeono (22 next year)
- Bailey Hodges (22 next year)
- Lachlan Broederlow (21 next year)

* I reckon the next 4 weeks will determine whether Sione Vaihu & Jimmy Ngutlik get a T&T.

Then the following pathways to also go on / stay on part-time T&T contracts:
Makasini, O Large, Godinet, Taupau-Moors, Haywood, Duncombe, Isdale.

Then recruit another 4 or 5 externally on T&T contracts who bring experience & leadership to our Cup squad.

What gets me is the other 5 players on that t&t contracts , at 22 years , and they haven’t even been considered for 1st grade , at most other clubs kid of that age would have had a call up , maybe these kids are not as good as Richo and benji think

 

[Tito Santana]

That's how I see him too. Usually those that present toughness by standing too close to the play the ball at marker, niggle at every opportunity, give penalties away deliberately, get in scuffles knowing no punches will be thrown are the ones who can't fight. It's a pretend toughness he presents and I think it's obvious. The real tough players do it throw physicality, not niggle.

Agreed Sirro.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Yes. They might get offended. Lets all pretend.

I’ve heard about Bateman giving it to us from the safety of overseas.

I will chip in to keep him in the UK, he’s a walking disaster.
I don’t know who limps around more him or Olam, but at least Olam runs and tackles hard a couple of times per season.

Wouldn’t surprise me. The guy is a dog

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

And none of the rest of our players are dogging us?

 

[Tito Santana]

Yep and they’re leaving

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Here we go. Who are they? And who is staying that is not dogging OR maybe does not have the best tutelage?
