Read the damn article before spewing this nonsense. All that old drunk, Tony Adams aka the Mole, said was that we could be looking at him as a replacement. Not that we were looking at him or had even inquired about him.
The reading comprehension on this forum is unbelievable sometimes 🤦♂️
We don't need a replacement for LG. He's here until end 2026.
I think Latu is the replacement.

The entire reason I responded was that you said -
'our yardage sets remain problematic'.
What is a 'yardage set' then?
We're 2nd in post contact metres and 5th in all run metres.
To'o (who is also injured atm- your current criticism of Skelton) would be great.
But our current side IS working as a pack. Extremely well. Especially considering their age/perceived quality. It doesnt mean we can't still upgrade, but you upgrade in areas of need, especially when you've likely got options as to who you receive in return.
You wanna go Penrith? Cool, they can have a quote 'generational talent', we'll have Liam Martin, thanks.

Lewis is signed until 2028... The Mole just said that he would be a good replacement, not that he is coming.
I doubt we go into the market for a half at all. The club will go all in on Fainu and still have Sullivan contracted for next year. Not to mention Doueihi is an option.

Do you actually watch games?
There is more to Rugby League than skittling defenders wihh the ball.
Sam Fainu does more clean up work in defence than any player in the side.
Seyfarth and Luai come in second.
Maybe, maybe not. I sincerely hope if he leaves it's because we got an offer we could not refuse.
Absolutely no need to look for a replacement.
As @Demps said - we already have someone most of us wanted to replace him anyway.
Our money best spent elsewhere, like a 2RF or two.

I don’t take a lot out of stats, they can give you a false reading.
It’s blatantly obvious the better sides will bully us. It took us 25 minutes to get over a weak Parra pack. The Dolphins were all over us early.
I think we’re essentially agreeing anyway. Liam Martin and To’o would both improve us, but it’s fantasyland stuff.

I don't feel sorry for him, he's 19 Iv met 19 year olds working 3 jobs with 2 kids. This 19 year old can't even call Anasta at 360 to say I don't agree with what my manager says I'm grateful to the Tigers and supporters for everything, I'm not happy about what he has said about my coach so I'll be looking at using another manager as this one doesn't represent me, I still will not be re-signing with the Tigers, but won't allow a managers personal views attempt to damage the club who have provided every opportunity I have today.
Kid can't even do that, his line, I'll leave it up to my manager. I wish I was a jurno so when he or his father say were leaving everything to his manager I'd love to reply, are you that useless, let the poor woman he marries one day know, he leaves everything to his manager.

Liam Martin would be so damn perfect for this team.

They can, I agree, but they can also put context around the eye test being misleading. More often than not, stats will correct a misheld opinion, rather than the alternative.
I lean on them to mostly reinforce or correct what my eyes observe, I'm not immune from reassessing a lot after a first watch-through of games (I generally watch at least twice).
As for the other sides bullying us, we'll see. We're still a work in progress, but we're growing, and as far as the forward pack goes, we're closing the gap on the best teams in the comp in that area.
Oh, and we've barely played well yet so far.... That's a positive.

Would be great timing if Richo could pull a big signing out of his backside right about now…

HULL KR Mikey Lewis has been named as a potential surprising replacement for Wests Tigers halfback Lachlan Galvin, who is widely expected to leave the NRL club at the end of the 2026 season.
Galvin is being linked with a move to Parramatta Eels after rejecting a monster $5-6 million deal with the Tigers, with The Mole claiming that Wests should look to KR’s Lewis as a replacement.
Tigers head coach coach Benji Marshall has dropped Galvin to reserve grade just days before the club’s Easter Monday clash with, ironically, Parramatta.
Lewis, meanwhile, has quickly become one of the most sought-after assets in world rugby league following a Man of Steel-winning year in 2024 – and The Mole believes that Wests could come running to the Super League livewire as Galvin’s replacement.
The 23-year-old is, however, contracted to Rovers until the end of the 2028 Super League season, meaning that any potential deal would include a massive transfer fee.

The eye test tells you we’re losing the battle at the ruck. Watch Melbourne next time they play and watch what they do when the attacking player is getting to his feet. They take away about 6 inches of his space and make subtle contact with his upper body. It probably equates to about half a second. When they get up to play the ball themselves they walk forward or to the side of the marker.
It’s subtle but they get away with it.

Luai & Latu, Tyrone May will be backup half & possibly Douehi depending on the next few weeks, Mason will be developed as a utility so he becomes a backup option. Kurt Falls could play himself into a T&T for next season and we further develop Max Liles and Marc Tannous.
