Brooksy is a good guy. Good heart. Never ditched us like Lachlan's parents.

You should upgrade his bbq if you like him so much

Brandon Smith released. It seems the Roosters aren't happy with him.

Those bums are never happy about anything

I wonder who will take a gamble on him

Galvin cannot play 2nd row, he just grabs players in defence. If he's not in the 6 which once Latu is fit i don't think he should be, he will be playing NSW Cup and once this happens hopefully Galvin instructs Moses to orchestrate a swap deal. I'd almost be happy with any half decent forward doesn't have to be a world beater. Whether it's Hopgood, Wiremu Greig, KPP or Frizell but we need troops.

He's headed to Souths

Don't know whose worse roosters or dogs they both are really keen to get someone then decide they don't want them, players are chewed up and spat out at will, but players still go to them.

It's an exclusive club requiring initiation into the Eastern suburbs lifestyle.

If Latu is fit and playing well in Reggies i reckon Galvout will not be here by June 30. We need to look forward and despite the speculation being put to bed its clearly not.

They are the options when you are a successful club. We generally get the leftovers unless we pay overs.

Lomax won't be leaving the Eels and our club is best moving in another direction. I've attached this article dated 4 Nov 24 and note he said this -

“I don’t feel where that team (Eels) finished this year is how they’re going to go next year. I feel that with the team and the club at Parra, we’re going to have a really successful year.”

The Eels should have stuck with Gutherson, he is still producing good football.

galvin is worth 350k if we go for hopgood then get him in 2027 we do not need him next year.
if we get KPP (not a fan) then that fills a hole
if we let galvin go to Parramatta then we need an elite player in return the only elite player they have is Lomax

Hoping that's the old days now that Richo is here, he is slowly improving our roster for the right price but oh boy, did the storm show us how much we are lacking in the forward pack, still some work to do there in recruitment.

Happy that I called Brandon Smith would be a fail at the Roosters.

The guy is a massive gronk. Looks like an inbred.

Just waiting for a mate.

Richardson will get the best possible outcome. Exposing the farce that it is will ensure WTs' is in a position of strength. I believe we can get a better outcome than Hopgood. We know Richardson likes to have cap $ at hand.

Has anyone been watching state cup and seen anything in the games by Krystian Mapapalangi and whether he could fill in at centre in the absence of To’a

 

[Nonotmeagain]

I disagree.

Reynolds is exactly the type of organiser a rebuilding side needs. Having a steering wheel is one of the first pieces. The Dogs only kicked on, for example, when they landed on Sexton being their short to mid-term solution.

The past weekend aside, this club has barely put together a solid 80 minutes this year, with one of the major criticisms being direction as the combinations figure themselves out.

Adam Reynolds at the right price (6/700k) for a year, will kick you around the field. Will take the pressure off Jarome's kicking game and would turn most 4's into 6's. It would provide a default 1st gear for when the side is lost in games and, instead of going backwards, you could lean on Reynolds to march the forwards downfield and find some space with the kick.

It's not the worst idea.

Didn't Luai come to the Tigers to explicitly play half ?? That release might loom large in his rear view mirror if it's not to be ?

He's played fullback and wing for Wests and looked promising in attack though suspect in defence. But admittedly the team is devoid of any defensive structure or resolve.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Taylan May, Hopgood and KPP is an exciting upgrade to me and addresses some immediate issues.
There may even be some bargain bin buys like Jayden Hunt or AJ Kapaoa which could surprise.
Love an incoming signings week if we are indeed in one.

Hope they were signed before the Storm game.
Although they will probably think this will be a walk up start for them after seeing that capitulation?
