There seems to be doubt around Hunt staying on - I’d rather a fit version of Hunt than Bunty. I think we only need one of them and instead look for a young mobile aggressive middle with some leg speed who can be mentored by Friz and May.
That second last sentence also describes Tamou as he joined us
I would assume Hunt knows we are not interested in re-signing him for 2028, so it might be in his best interests to get a UK Super League contract for a couple of years while he can.
If Hunt did move on early, I would use his money towards Luron Patea who is currently available for 2028 and there have been reports suggesting the Panthers may not stand in his way for an early release in 2027 should he sign elsewhere for 2028.
He looked like the next best thing at the Titans and somehow regressed at the Storm
Only 22 though he has plenty of time
Leaving Wests Tigers?

From someone I know to be reliable... Everyone can take that as they will, if they don't believe it or are skeptical then that is completely fine. Just re-laying the info.
I posted in the Samuela thread that i don't know when it will be announced formally, but just heard that it's all been agreed. It's complicated because his agent is banned at the moment and because they're big/long deals, the specific agent (Tartak) doesn't want to miss out on the commission so the paper work and signature have to happen at specific times. He's been very involved in their careers since they were young, taken care of the Fainus and their family especially during the stuff with Manase, and they want to to take care of him.
Manase will probably be at the club in some capacity in the next year or two. Will probably make his way back through RMC and at some point sign a Cup contract. I know many people will be against that and fair enough, but i personally don't really have an issue with it. Manase did the crime and did the time. Deserves a second chance at life and rehabilitation.
There are others in our game who have done the crime, done no time and even rewarded with rep honours and premierships. Ezra Mam, Matt Lodge etc.

Yeah except Manase hasn’t played in seven years and doesnt deserve a redemption arc as the merkin still hasn’t admitted stabbing that bloke. The guy is a filthy jailbird piece of shit and this is a typical braindead Wests Tigers recruitment decision.

It's a bit hard to stomach isn't it, if Latu and Sam weren't such important players in the team would they be bending over so much to keep them, is there leverage involved, some food for thought.

We should be trying to get Tyrone May as well.
Maybe we can get Rob Lui, John Elias and Craig Field to join the coaching staff whilst we are busy collecting dickheads…
