i agree, but for abundant caution, we need another half.
I mean he is clearly better than Naden…not the worst option but ain’t going to do diddly squat to move us up the ladder long term.
Isn’t Talau a Moses client?
Closest comp in many years
Funny that. A few people were cracking it when Talau first went to Manly and Junior Tupou went to the Dolphins that we were losing squad strength. Both currently playing reserve grade at their new clubs. On another cheery ex Tiger note, Ice might be about to pick up yet another wooden spoon!
Its half his salary this season
Agree but he’s got to get and stay on the paddock. If he only plays a handful of games over the rest of the season it kinda forces the clubs hand to sign another half.
That’s the point
Woods was named but did not play Flegg for Bulldogs today. Could this be a late twist? Hoping!
Conti’s the one we should be pushing for, left foot kicker, Anasta managers him and he is a tigers junior.
Talau is another I.Moses client....no way will Richo sign him
We go hard for Woods now, no doubt.

Up and coming gun at the Bulldogs;
May feel his path is blocked, especially if they sign Burton.
All the talk is around the kid, Woods, being the future 7 at the club.
Might be worth a look, our first choice backup.
Faalogo is faster than anyone at the club. No one could tackle him if he gets given space. Mason is no chance, he's still a year or two away from NRL standard
I'm not really big on Origin personally. Gave up on it when I got sick of blokes being pick on name and not position. Like N.S.W will have 4 weekly playing fullbacks playing in the centres, wing and fullback just to acclimate blokes and I'd be thinking what's the point trying to make origin if your a centre or winger. Personally the N.S.W team should be picked by position not name. Best centre at centre, lock at lock. Not a 5/8 at lock because there's another 5/8 they want to put in the team. I know Qld do the exact same thing. But this year I hope Qld put them to the sword, noone can justify to me the way the clubs going that we don't have 1 N.S.W player in the squad. May and Api were certainties imo. They're only crime is they're playing for the Tigers. Screw Daley and N.S.W hope Qld rip them apart.
Other thing we need to remember to keep things in a bit more context is that our total lack of depth is completely detrimental to these guys ability to develop properly and just do their jobs. Imagine being in a workplace where the guy next to you needs help every few minutes. Then the next week it's the person 5 people down from you, your productivity would cop a beating, I'd imagine it's much the same with us in that the guys we need to rely on to do what they do best can't just focus on themselves and what they do but need to help out the other guys at times aswell. In a hardened N.R.L squad it's fine there's plenty of leaders and players with experience to help out, but a squad like ours it has a detrimental effect, maybe next year with another year of grade and more experience the squad handles it better, but we need more depth just regular tradesman type players, guys that can just do a job, that'll help Luai and co out massively.
What passes me off is his value is close to 1 million. I think 1 million was way overs for him but that's what we offered, how can the N.R.L now turn around and allow another club to sign him for around 750k. He shouldn't be allowed to be signed for less than 900k if the salary cap is fair. If a club values him at 1 million how can the game allow him to sign for 25% less at the competition leaders so they can fit him in their cap. The systems busted.
