Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I just realised we only have 23 spots filled for 2026

I imagine Hope gets upgraded to add some hooker depth to the top 30 so I’ll say 24

most other clubs already have 28+ spots filled

We are going to need at least three signings
Would suspect May, Mapapalangi + Tu'itupou will take Naden, Feledy & Staines respective positions, so I can see us easily at 27 for instance (and I think thats an upgrade - each would be on minimum and offer more other than potentially Staines).

Leaves us three positions. IMO need a starting lock, halves depth and unsure on the final spot. Maybe another edge forward? But really, would be looking to drop big money on a lock - snag a star from somewhere.

Did u count bud ?
 
Of all agents to represent one of our key players, we picked him?

If that’s true then maybe it happened for Doueihi too.

All I see is that Bula is more well liked around this forum, so it’s okay for him to be with Moses but not okay for Doueihi.
It shows how our former board may have had ties to him, I think them even just suggesting a manager for one of their players should be a breach of the salary cap rules. It also demonstrates that after everything he did in 2017 when he helped gut the club, the club would still recommend him. It shows how incompetent and out of their depth the former board were.
Bula has stated he wants to stay when asked about his manager after the Galvin saga. It's not that people leave, it's the way they leave. It's all good for Bula now, but the stories will start once he's up for renewal. Just like with AD now. All he has to do is come out and say it's all garbage. But he won't cause it's the narrative his new manager wants out there. If Bula tells his manager to keep his mouth shut and do his job, noone will have an issue with it. We will see when the time comes.
 
He went well. Did nothing wrong and was strong with the ball. Some guys look like pillows at this level but he didn't. A good depth pickup if he keeps his head screwed on.

If he stays disciplined he'll be more than a depth signing. He was devastating in his first season for the Panthers pre-injury and off-field incidents. Hopefully Terrell can keep him focused and he can deliver on his enormous potential.
 
Anyone read the Riccio article about Bula in the Tele today ?

Apparently he is free to talk to other teams from Nov 1 if the Tigers don’t officially pick up his option for 2027 before hand
