Agree Peseka would be a great get from manly
Big callTigers poach schoolboy star after messy exit
Talented utility back David Bryenton, who made headlines by walking out on Canterbury earlier this year, has signed with Wests Tigers.
Bryenton, who won the Peter Sterling Medal as the country's best schoolboy player in 2025, joined the Bulldogs last season but quit after a dispute over the terms of his contract.
The young fullback from renowned Gold Coast nursery Keebra Park State High School has been in hot demand ever since and his move to the Tigers is a big coup for the club.
He is expected to start next season in the NSW Cup but don’t be surprised if he is in the top grade team at either centre or wing by mid-season.

Does anyone know why manly are so insistent on having a fire sale, they don’t even have a good roster, so who is being well overpaid, are both the turbos on 1.2m?
If we could snag paseka and shiller or kris for backups we.would have the making of a great team with depth

Surely its more a matter of clearing deadwood rather than cap pressure?

But they aren’t even clearing much dead wood, like paseka is a good player, and brooks had a good year for them pre injury. They should get rid of Jake he was washed as, same with turbo tbh

Idk how, I wish I could see their books because they must be way overpaying for a lot of players, teams like Melbourne can have stars galore and still be under

Fox Sports: WILL FAINU BE AT THE TIGERS BEYOND 2027?
As Fainu focuses on winning the World Cup with Tonga and earning the vacant No.6 jersey at the Tigers, his long-term future at the club is another important piece of the puzzle.
One of nine players coming off-contract - alongside the likes of Fonua Pole and Jock Madden - at the end of next year’s campaign, Fainu is currently free to speak with rival clubs and explore his options as he weighs up his next move.
However, the 21-year-old has made no secret of his desire to remain at the Tigers, particularly given the prospect of continuing to play alongside his brother Samuela and Siona who are locked in on long-term deals.
While Fainu confirmed talks with the Tigers have yet to get underway, he is keen to extend with the side sooner rather than later.

Except whether journo Ethan has some early intel that AD will get first crack at halfback & Latu five-eighth (pending fitness over pre-season).

Surely Benji is not that dumb, maybe he seems latu as 6 only and javon at 7, considering javon debuted there. My hope is we get Walker on a subsidised deal of around 800k next year

Reallt? I think it's a win for both. Titans need experience/ leadership whereas Storm needs power up front.Trent is known to be one of the best in the ruck hence Billy kept picking him for QLD.
I don't think Bai reaches his ceiling at Titans, and he isn't going to stay there anyway. PNG would have signed him so they were going to lose him anyway. Getting Loiero is a good benefit out of it.

No chance.
No chance Bulldogs either. Gus hates overpaying and no way he pays $1.5m for him.
Roosters will hold on to him or ask for $300k transfer fee if anyone wants him for 2027.
In 2028, he will 99% be at the Broncos. Hunt will retire and Pezet is likely to end up like Croft and co based on his Parramatta stint.
