Interesting. Bulldogs probs.

Yeah especially with the use of the term “massaging” and we know that Toby Sexton is a fan of the old Thai massage. Maybe I’m reading too deeply

Like retiring players to boxing, and then 6 months later said player quits boxing to play Rugby League again - Player salary immediately wiped from the books and they didn't have to contribute any of his salary at his next club...

Yes, I reckon a lot of us wondered why a player would walk away from $750k contract, while lacing up for the blues?

That’s the one.
I reckon if I met JT again I’d have a little dig at him about his eye for talented wingers.
He should’ve used compare the pair, those little meerkats would have a better eye for talent.

It will be interesting to learn if the NRL has the fortitude to investigate and punish a club if found guilty. Also, if players were signed by a club when without these alleged innovative measures, they were over the salary cap. Last on, first off😁? Further, if player managers were aware of these alleged innovative measures?

i hope Richo intends on re-signing the Laulilii brothers soon, they’ve been developing very nicely . don’t want them going to market this year

I would deadset give Luke four years. I think he's that good.

Richo is going to bring Wests Tigers to prosperity just like Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon did to the USA. He has already deported all the illegal aliens (Bateman, Klemmer, Galvin, Kepaoa, Miller, Sullivan). He extended Alex Seyfarth to a long term deal. In doing these two things he has already made Wests Tigers great again. We are the greatest rugby league club in the history of rugby league clubs, and the only reason we are near the bottom of the ladder is because of sleepy Pascoe.

It's tiring when people bring politics into a footy thread, but if you're going to at least get your facts straight FFS

I can answer that for you.
NRL and Fortitude do not belong in the same sentence, and they will only do something about it, if it is beneficial, making them look bad, or it is a Sydney club they may wanna get rid of in the future.
“Last on, first off”, that’d be nice, but I think we all know that will not happen. They will be keeping the player they want (Gal), or he will go bullying against the NRL.
Player managers all know. I reckon that’s a given. But we have all seen the piss weak NRL penalties dished out to them leeches.

Sorry I got a bit ranty there but my pet hate at the moment is the Piss Weak NRL, and Mr where’s a camera 🎥 PVL.

The Mole mentions Jonah Glover & Warriors backrower Kayliss Fatialofa in this morning’s article. Hopefully we are at least investigating both.

hoping we're front of the queue for Fatialofa.

i’m worried him playing soo will make him more on other clubs radars

I think he's great too... But where does he currently fit in?
And compare him to 22 year old faalago playing in the storm system...
Will luke be ok biding his time behind the likes of Turuva, Skelton and Bula?
Or is luke a back up for us incase Bula leaves with the Moses connection?

I think in the immediate future the plan would be for him to be first drop at fullback and wing, with him to get some reps at centre thru preseason so that way he can fill in anywhere pending injuries.

long term though I think left wing is where he'll end up. when push comes to shove, I think they'll prioritise him over Skelton. same with Makasini over May.

Personally I'd extend him and see how the backline evolves over the next 2-3 years. Initially to be fullback in NSW Cup so he can be the primary backup to Bula and also a backup wing option to Turuva & Skelton. Wouldn't mind him getting some cameos in the centres in NSW Cup too to see how he fits there. I think he'd be a better centre than winger imo.

Good to have depth and options, and remembering he's only just turned 19yo.

THere's a glitch if you use the word t.r.u.m.p... and it automatically makes those statements .
Try it in your response to me and see for yourself!

it’s one of those positions where most clubs have adequate depth , no matter where he was to go he’d have to bid his time . only real concern would obviously be Perth bears I’m sure they’d love to have both brothers . he’s very young I’m sure the club would have solid plans for where he’d fit in the future .

The NRL has zero interest in uncovering and punishing teams for salary cap breaches. Its bad publicity for them and reflects poorly on the league and its leadership. Theres a reason why almost every salary cap breach has been uncovered by the media and not the NRL, even though the NRL are the ones with all the player payment details...

I hear what you're saying.

But I would imagine that the integrity of the game, particularly when media outlets are happy to jump on the critique of loopholes and bring negative press from that angle, would be enough of an incentive to tidy it all up.
