Farmworth worth every penny Vicious..I have yet seen any opposition player dominate him. Apparently the talk is they are going to target English players and he's definitely the best. Also just can't see Fifita looking at the w tigers unless it's for $$$ a risk I don't think we can afford to take. Although would be nice to have someone with his ability, when he's on.

Not sure we need Fifita now if we are going with Sam F and KPP as our starters. Our backups become Sukkar, Seyfarth, Bird and Saukuru. In a balanced cap you spend the potential Fifita money elsewhere.

Would you start Makasini on the wing though in first grade? Ease him in from there.

For who? Obviously I would say the plan is Makasini and May down that left edge . Skelton has been good though and doesn’t deserve to be dropped . I don’t think there’s any rush at the moment . I think May will probably be the next man up . I just hope Makasini is as good as Skelton out of yardage .
I don’t see any reason to rush him this year . Let him destroy KOE and help those boys out
 
With the very real possibility AD will get a gig elsewhere next year we need to find a quality goal kicker. API can’t be relied on to be our full time kicker. The problem we are pretty well covered for backs and outside AD none seem to be able to kick. One thing for certain we are not good enough to consistently win games with a low conversion rate.
 
Luai’s Tigers trigger date revealed as Bula’s manager begins gauging rivals
Story by Michael Chammas • 25m •

Wests Tigers marquee man Jarome Luai has until April 30 next year to trigger a three-year option in his contract to remain at the club beyond the end of 2026.

While Wests Tigers chief executive Shane Richardson trumpeted Luai’s signing as a five-year deal, this masthead revealed his contract is for an initial two-year period, which expires at the end of 2026, with a three-year option in his favour to stay at the club until the end of 2029.

Luai has until the start of round nine next year to decide on his future, but is free to open negotiations with rival clubs on November 1 this year if he chooses to test the market. The Tigers remain hopeful the NSW five-eighth will recommit to the club.

The 28-year-old is enjoying life at the Tigers and is one of coach Benji Marshall’s staunchest supporters.

The Tigers have made it clear Marshall’s position is safe despite a recent run of six consecutive losses, which ended on the weekend with an impressive win over the Sydney Roosters.

By round nine next year, Luai will likely know whether the Tigers are planning to stick with Marshall in the long term, a move that would be looked upon favourably by their star playmaker.

It comes as Tigers fullback Jahream Bula has been tossed up to rival clubs as a prospective November 1 target.

Sources with knowledge of the situation talking on the condition of anonymity told this masthead that Bula’s manager, Isaac Moses, has already begun gauging interest from rival NRL clubs on behalf of his client.

Moses, who oversaw Lachlan Galvin’s tumultuous departure from the club this year, took over as Bula’s manager after his previous agent, Liam Ayoub, left the industry to join the Bulldogs as recruitment manager.

Ayoub oversaw the negotiation of Bula’s current deal with former Tigers chief executive Justin Pascoe. His contract includes a mutual option for the 2027 season.

If the Tigers decide to exercise the option, Bula will play the 2027 season on a salary of $900,000. If the Tigers decide against retaining Bula at that price, he has the opportunity of taking up a player option at $800,000.

Moses, however, will not earn any income from a contract negotiated by another agent and would only earn a percentage of Bula’s pay if he were to negotiate a new contract with the Tigers or a rival club.

If the Tigers don’t take up Bula’s option by November 1 this year, Moses can begin formal negotiations with rival clubs for the 2027 season.

The Tigers are also expected to begin discussions with South Sydney about the future of Jayden Sullivan. The playmaker still has two years to run on his deal with the Tigers, which is worth about $600,000 a year.

Wests Tigers agreed to release Sullivan on loan to the Rabbitohs this year, with Souths chipping in about $150,000 for his services.

The Rabbitohs have indicated they are willing to keep Sullivan at the club for another season but want the Tigers to make a similar financial contribution.

I thought he was solid but I have not seen anything to suggest 'very very' good

I don't watch as much footy as many some of our members especially the lower grades so I was interested to have a good look at Sukkar the last few appearances he's made I'm the top grade and I think hel make a solid frindge or lower team backrower but we just need more considering we're we have finished and where we are at is my personal opinion although I hope he proves me wrong . He's only a young fella so he may. I just dream of a Liam martin or a tino type player. .

They just cannot leave us alone for even 1 day... Dead Set it's starting to become harassment as there are 18 other clubs with the 2 new ones but we seem to get articles daily.

Exactly what i said to a work mate this morning.
We were talking about the weekend games and actually he said
to me he was sick of all the negativity around The Wests Tigers constantly
in the headlines and backpage and in the news (sports).

I said to him that we had a good win yesterday , and to be prepared that
within the next 24hours some jernos will find something to write about The Wests Tigers
that will try to overshaddow the great performance by the boys.

And there it is Mr Chammas trying to do just that.

Soon as I saw the article I thought “here we go again”. Surely the general public are sick of reading articles about the Tigers?

And it’s just regurgitation of the same information said in different ways. Not one piece of that is new information.
