Could be Blore. Left 24. He'd have a guaranteed edge spot here.

Isn't that what the Bateman money was for? How much are we gonna offer Galvin?!

Whatever it takes.

Whatever it takes.

Unless it's over 750

It is not a decision about the here and now. It is an oppurtunity decision to clear a poor contract to provide flexibility. Richo may or may not have a replacement lined up - but if Klemmer goes we have a roster spot available and $400ishK in the cap for use this year. Klemmer doesn't trigger the extension so we don't have $600-800K (depending on whose story you believe) hole in our budget and still carrying an underperforming player in 2026. If Kelmmer was on the books and we didn't want to trigger the extension he could only play a dozen games this year anyway.

So whatever way you look at it we (the club) were getting the shit end of the stick on a contract heavily weighted in the player's favour. This is simply a smart football business decision. The opportunity happend to present itself just before the start of the season - works for Klem and for us.

Agree about the greater good Jolls but what about the here and now, it just seems like we get caught in similar situations with players way too often through the years, please guys don't say sign from within the only one that showed anything was Kit, I had hopes for Johannsen but at the moment he is a human twig ready to be snapped in half by opposition forwards.

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

I'd have Tupou back for sure.

Flipper . Needs to learn to catch first

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

I reckon Roosters may offer to swap Galvin for Leniu

Would like to laugh about it Tito but it's probably right on the money, It's the kind of move from them they think would be fair exchange, no wonder everybody except there supporters thinks there deadshits.

 

[phil1986]

I don’t think Leniu’s the player in question.

few rumours doing the rounds it’s actually a former player of ours.

Junior tupou?

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Leniu rumour is all over the WTP forum now would really like it to be true but my brain is saying don't believe it.

 

[Demps]

Tupou was named in the dolphins trial and then dropped out before kick off

 

[426Tlgerland]

Leniu is not happening lol

Heard we got no money or it’s being used for galvin.

Happy to be proven wrong but that’s what I got.

We got money and I would say over 1 million , Batemans money and Klemmer money would be probably a bit over 1 million plus any other left over they had on the back burner , could be up around 1.5 million
Galvin extra $ 500 , $ Lenui $ 675. Taylah May $ 300 total $ 1.475 dump Tumeth and a couple more and we are no issue

 

[426Tlgerland]

Does he arrive before or after Brian To'o?

After Luai is giving Brian a lift to training

With Galvins no interest in signing on long term I would take the deal

He goes some way to solidifying the centre position.

If it's him.

Possibility I suppose but played nearly all his 1st grade games on the wing.

I know but wait till he sign on elsewhere , then it will be a blood bath , best young player at tigers walks off to Roosters 4 year deal $ 500 k per year hahaha

Looking at the names who hve been pushing this rumour, Its reasonably clear to me that this has originated from the Discord forum.
Its not a bad troll, but a troll all the same.

Matterson? Finally happy to accept he is a back rower?
