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.
