Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

No, you're right, the critics have been consistent on him. Just saying that singling him out for yesterday seems rough, given the performance of several of his team mates. He wasn't the worst offender.

I don’t think he has been singled out …. Galvin , Staines and Naden have been criticised as well…

I don't watch Jayden Hunt much ...but when I have his hands have let him down

It's not his hands I'd be adding him for.

Hard worker, hits hard, plays at speed.

You're not spending top dollar on a Jayden Hunt, but you get a good return on the investment.

I imagine he isn't the type of forward to get bullied. Hunt, Corey Jensen & Jack Hetherington...mix that with what we have.

The Storm were 5-3 and we were 5-4 … perhaps I didn’t see a win coming our way , against a good team that is hard to beat at home, but did you see that beat down ? Anyway, the fans can think what they want…it’s a problem when the players don’t seem to think they can win …

Which player said they couldnt win?

Mate the bulldogs got 42 put on them by the broncs
Melbourne got 42 put on them by the dolphins
wahs got 42 put on them
raiders got 40 on them

Thats your top 4. Todays game is a game of control every team has been on the back end of a smashing apart for the sharks. Yes we had a lot put on us but that's because we have a dozen or so first graders and most them only came recently. I hate we got that smashing but with our injuries and lack of compsure it was always going to come. NExt week is the real test now.
 
From the info I have got Taylan May will be a Wests Tiger by June 30th at the very latest - I’ve read on this thread by some posters suggesting the opposite. But for what it’s worth I’m hearing it’s pretty much done.

On the topic of the May’s - I think it’s extremely clear our forward pack isn’t anywhere near good enough when May comes off.

It’s getting to a point I’m worried about us taking years off Terrell’s career making him play 70 odd mins a night in the middle consistently. He desperately needs help and with Pole expected to miss time too, I think it’s clear we lack some quality depth in the pack.

I’ve tried getting some info on any expected arrivals but haven’t heard much besides Taylan May - I did hear whispers a few weeks ago Richardson has some English forwards on his radar but no names at this point.

KPP has obvious talent and he only just turned 24 so I don’t think he has even hit anywhere near his potential yet, but he’s already a walking starter in our team easily. He seems very difficult to tackle and a great offload, can really open up our attack a little.

I’ve mentioned it before also, but Hopgood has gone to 40 mins under Ryles with Dylan Walker really suiting playing next to Moses with the pace they play.

Galvin for Hopgood trade should be explored, as Hopgood legitimately has the potential to be our lock for the next decade as he’s only 25.

I think if Taylan comes I’m very comfortable with our backline depth, but our pack needs to be addressed immediately and both KPP/Hopgood can make a big difference.

The hate for Seyfarth seems out of line with the performance yesterday.

He was hardly the worst in a bad performance. I'd argue May played worse yesterday.

Galvin is being exposed badly in defence last few weeks.

I never said it was Sayfarths fault in my post, just wondering if he was being targeted by the bigger Melbourne forwards to the starts of their sets, it's how it looked from what I saw, though admittedly couldn't watch the whole thing, was also wondering if they were doing that on the other side aswell. If they did then it confirms that Bellamy sees our backrow as a liability.

Love it.

Thanks for sharing.
I think KPP + Hopgood is needed.
Both.

Well I wasn’t in the dressing room talking to them … they didn’t seem to play with a lot of confidence …

Who were the 3 teams thar beat the Storm? At the bottom of the ladder maybe if it’s not the Top 4??

As for props,

Big Sam Tuivaiti, from Parra has no deal for 2026.

Josiah Pahulu from the Titans was trying to get a deal at the dogs, might be worth a look.

Bit of an unknown at the dragons, who came from Manly who had some wraps in the lower grades, Viliami Fifita.

Davy Moale at South's, off contract.
They'll likely extend him, but we should at least ask.

Then we've got Jaiden Hunt and Corey Jensen at the broncos who are decent options.

Time for tigers to stop frothing over 05 and actually move on they seem to always go back to 05. All these ex players from the 05 team in the coaching staff
then you got the banana Richo holding off on Taylan may signing like he’s creating some mad suspense. Just announce it already ya fruit loop or keep fielding a bunch of school boys

Where you of this opinion a week ago? Do you not give Richo and Benji any credit for how we have started the season? Before a ball was kicked would you have taken a 5/5 start come round 10?
