Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

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.

I agree Hopgood is the only person I’d swap Galvin for at Parra in a position we need.

I’m glad Mays a done deal we definitely need help in the centres.

Hopefully the Knights need money to sign Dom Young and release KPP to us.

Always enjoy your info, champion @teddy23 - thanks for the lift in spirit.

absolutely a PR move that followed the typical run of mental health rehab to show he’s “done the work”.

I can see him at WT within days. sigh.

Honestly I was keen on the move before his latest fiascos on social media it pointed to someone who was seriously mentally ill but if there’s some clauses in there in the clubs favour it’s the right type of signing with enormous amounts of potential upside. But their other brother Tyrone can stay in England 😂
 
Interesting the knights are trying to get the roosters to pay Dom Young's contract to join them for the rest of the year when apparently
they have the money to cover him.
Laugh if another club swoops in and grabs him under their nose would complete the dumb decisions they have made this season.
 
Reading that reminded me of Luciano getting baited and Joey losing his nana....still remeember where i was that night, Auburn golf club. I think we were playing saints in the gong or penrith

Jeez May is a risk. We've got a pretty fragile truce in the dressing room, a 64-0 flogging, his brother is playing pretty unreasonable minutes and now will have to look after his fairly unwell younger brother on top of things. Hope im seeing it incorrectly but I am really not sure its worth the gamble.
 
I was very anti-Taylan May but at least hes done something positive about his conduct whatever it was.

And its out of my control.

The other brother Tyrone, hes invested massively in turning his life around, but im not sure how hes playing.

Even Latrell is playing footy these days.

Strange days, im not complaining.

Would hope Taylan has bettered himself. In his interview with Richo, he was so delusional he was rambling on about BS, the club pretty much assumed he was on drugs

Seems very on purpose that he's having this story run in the media though

What interview was this,?
