Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

As Bellamy would say with his little wry grin, maybe ask me about these guys once they’ve had a season or two in first grade.

Why don't you 2 wait and have a look at the trials it's the bloody off season for crisssake

Trial form is useless too mate. We butchered Manly a few years ago then lost our first 6 I believe.

Continue to wrap up nobodies, no skin off my back.

What are you expecting to get out of trials exactly? They are training runs.

Agree, Johannsen is such an awkward tackle! Reminds me a bit of Heilum Luki - you wouldn’t know if to tackle him if he ran those lines. Would love to see him start this season in the backrow! Defensively strong, runs hard and got a great offload! One of the those blokes that would never let you down and huge upside 🔥

Is he training there?

 

[Merlot]

Agree totally, only issue is going to be how long it takes Luai and Galvin to gel. Once that happens and they are consistently on the same page, our halves should be top 3 in the comp when fit.

Could Galvin;s smile get any bigger? , Don't think we will see any 2nd year syndrome. As for Gal resigning, he'd be mad not to bluff his way(contract wise) until new teams join 2027.IMOA the kid will stay a 1 team wonder

And the same could be said to yourself .....wait until they actually prove themselves in the NRL before wrapping them to the eyeballs .....

How about we get the side for round 1 gee that's a novel idea.

I'm bookmarking everyone posting bullshit, receipts!

You’ve been pretty complimentary of Sione Fainu and Sukkar. Both have only shown little glimpses in First Grade. You’re not Robinson Crusoe though, Fainu has a few fans already.

I rate his brother, need to see more of those other guys.

The best forward WT have ever had.

so far

That’s what the whole pre season is for. Not a couple of games where we field 30 players in 80 mins

Then why the big concern ??

I think you have me mixed up with encore tiger

 

[jadtiger]

so far

True,but to be the best forward in 25 years is something to be proud of.Hopefully someone ends up better than him and the sooner the better

Sukkar has literally had 25 minutes....not sure about Tim J .....how many games of NRL ......like you can't even look Tim up on Wiki lol

I'll pose an interesting question...is Richo setting things up for a more palatable sacking of Benji? Now hear me out.

When JAC got done and Gould came out so publicly backing him, I said straight away Gould was setting it up so he could sack him and have no backlash. He deliberately made himself look like a fool by backing JAC so when the truth came out everyone would say "he has to sack him". So it got me thinking, is Richo talking up our spine so the possible sacking of Benji if we fail to get results, will be more acceptable to the media and fans? Now I'm much less confident that this is what's happening as I was with the Gould and JAC situation, but it did make me think. Of course Richo wants Benji to succeed, but maybe he is setting up the backup plan.

I suggested this a couple of weeks ago by saying that’s what I thought Richo was thinking. Then I got shouted down by someone saying how would I know what Richo was thinking when most people don’t even know what they are thinking.

I agree Richo has been very bullish and ai also feel it is to put pressure on Benji.

 

[tigerballs]

you mean fit from a cultural perspective? or a cap perspective.

Cultural. Seems a bit of a wierdo.

Just on Taylan May, his bro Terrell is desperate to play alongside him at the Tigers! It’s exactly the body language I got when I spoke to him! I’d be shocked if Richo actually didn’t want him!
We need real competitors and these brothers are exactly that! Anyone who’s seen Taylan May in person, knows he’s built like a granite block! Absolute unit, and one of the hardest blokes in the entire NRL to tackle. I really see him joining Luai and Turuva as a left centre for us! Our backline would be absolutely deadly 🔥🔥🔥🫡

1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. Taylan May
4. Makasini
5. Skelton
6. Galvin
7. Luai

don't want him
