Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Never heard this before?

Not a lock at all for mine.

He wants to be a middle . At the very least it was his preference when we signed him from manly . Whether that’s changed as he’s grown into his role on the edge , I mean probably , but yea , when he originally came across from manly he wanted to move into the middle / saw his long term future in the middle .
For me , whilst I think he will end up in the middle , like most players as massive as him , I think he needs to work on his leg drive through contact . But man he’s 20 years old , when’s he’s 25 , he will be dead lifting 220, squatting 180 , benching 150, I have zero doubt in my mind .
A
Probably doing it easy .

I think he is incredibly hateful.

Man, the hate on Reed Mahoney is damn strong here.
I mean this is like Sith lord hate...

*shrugs* whatever.. I will say this, Hooker tends to be the grubbiest position in the NRL.
Cam Smith, Cheese, Ennis, etc.
It really stands out that both Farah and Api are class acts at Hooker.

Sure, but the thing about the other players mentioned, they had subtly to their niggle. Mahoney doesn’t. He’s a Neanderthal. He has the footy IQ of a dung beetle.

Anyone know whos making the team list week? When is Skelten back. Im so sick of seeing the Staine master and Na-dontknowhowtoplaythegame on the team anymore

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Like?
There's plenty of positives in most if not all of them. And players I'd take over ours.
I didn't really need to look - I've been watching our team for a while.
We've had the sh*ttest bench for years.

I’m kind of liking Hunt Bird TDS and Sione this year, they done a terrific job during games this year

As they prepare to part with Galvin, the Tigers are also in danger of losing Da Silva when his contract expires at the end of 2026. The teenage hooker is also considered one of the best young spine players in the game, but the club has been told he won’t re-sign if Koroisau’s contract is extended.

The Tigers want to keep them both, but are likely to prioritise Koroisau.

 

[Buttface]

My wish would be for us to get Kikau for the remainder of this year and 2 more years thereafter. KPP this year and Taylan may.

Kickau on the left, KPP on the right, Sam Fainu moves to lock where he wants to play, Seyfath and Hunt drop out of the 17.

8. May
9. Api
10.Pole
11.KP
12.Kikau
13.Fainu

14.Douehi
15.Twal
16.Sione
17. Sukkar

Sam Fainu wants to play lock does he?

Don't let the door hit you and your designer name on the way out Tallyn

I’m kind of liking hunt bird tds and sone this year

Tallyn hasn't had much game time, Bird got Dropped - Sione has gone up a level, He's got a few left to go for mine... And Hunt hasn't increased his minutes by much if at all...
They're doing the job (sometimes) Doesn't mean it can't be done way better.
- The post I replied to didn't have Hunt on the Bench.

Gould gaslighting Chammas on national t.v is hilarious.
Blind Freddy can see what has unfolded.

Well if blind Freddy can see it and I can see it, and most on WTF can as well.

WHY CANT THE NRL's INTEGRITY UNIT SEE SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT HERE.

 

[liltiger]

He's schooling Richo right now. Wouldn't let Mahoney leave immediately if he didn't have something lined up or pretty much confirmed.

I wish, for once, that we'd do something about it and the NRL would get real on tampering.

Based on what though, how do we know Richo is being schooled. The Galvin situation is unlike any other because of the possibility of legal action. Hypothetically, if at the behest of Moses Galvin was collecting dirt on the players to use as leverage to get out of his deal, would you say Richo has been schooled by letting him go cheaply in order to get that info and protect the squad and Wests Tigers brand. What about if Galvin has serious evidence of bullying and in order to protect the Wests Tigers from litigation has no choice but to let Galvin go because of how serious the evidence is. Would you still think Richo is being schooled. Until it's all done, we won't have any gauge on why things were done the way they have been.

He’s destined for the front row at some stage he’s a junior prop. Second row for the next 3 years.

Will also wait to see who (if any) our new signings are before forming judgement on the overall situation. Got my fingers crossed we actually come out ahead if Richo can pull a rabbit out of the hat with recruitment.

Sorry to hear that. I want to be wrong but I don’t rate this bloke at all.

At least it shows Benji has a backbone by not picking the wonder kid.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Keen to see Mason in another position other than fullback. He’s a goer, but just horrendous under the high ball.
