I think it's interesting that the club hasn't announced anything about Bird. I think it will tie in to Bula staying Been absolutely nothing in the papers about Bula's negotiations. Normally when a tigers player actually wants out, there's a constant stream of articles about where he might end...

Maybe I'm remembering it different, when Turuva played fullback we lost so much attacking threat, especially down our right edge Turuva might been a bit more damaging running the footy but the team overall looked way more clunky with him at fullback. When Bula came back our attack noticeably...

Also tell Rob to stop reading the missed tackle stats - it's the most BS stat out there went on about Sione and To'a missing X amount of tackles when I thought both actually did well defensively for the most part. They find a missed tackle for absolutely anything

Barnett would definitely be worth trying to sign to bolster our pack. His family is from Taree so doubt he joins a Sydney club. Probably back to Newcastle if they can afford him

Thought Adel nailed it re: Bula If he was signed for 5 years people would not be NEARLY as critical of his performance, simple as that. Don't see what he sees in Seyfarth though lol

You, and everyone else are forgetting one important thing There is a club option for 2027! He is signed until the end of next year! There really isn't a reason to rush it. There's no media hype around his signature, it's not a disruption, the only people I see stressing about it are people on...

Gotta make finals. Almost half the competition makes it, no reason we shouldn't be there.

My god that would be a massive downgrade People say Bulas defence is bad, Sloans is ten times worse... I saw Staines run him over twice last year!

Jake Averillo is on the market, very handy player although not sure if we really have a spot for him currently.

Oh no we don't win the pre season title! Lol What is a witzer anyway

Team basically picks itself besides the bench. Need to carry an outside back on the bench just in case every single week in my opinion. 1 Bula 2 Turuva 3 Taylan May 4 To'a 5 Makasini 6 Luai 7 Doueihi 8 May 9 Korisau 10 Afoa 11 Sam Fainu 12 KPP 13 Twal 14 Madden 15 Sione Fainu 16 Pole 17...

He's not strong enough to be a middle, when he gets tackled most of the time he gets stopped, driven backwards or put on his back.

Disagree about Pole being uninterested. Had an error, but had heaps of runs and was in plenty of tackles, I thought he was very involved and ran the ball well Agree his play the balls need to speed up, but better he takes his time than drop it trying to rush to his feet

He has already shown it. He's played plenty of excellent games for us - including last year. All the negativity around Bula is coming from people who have PTSD from other contract issues with other players. He didn't play great, but he will be good for us this year and hopefully gets his...

In juniors he was always an aerial threat, it's definitely a part of his game
