Improvements in 26 season would be icing those 3 or 4 games we lost this season by a few points each and panicking/ lack of steady game manager. If we can put thise 3-4 games into our win bag for 26, I reckon we will come close to 8th and definitely in the 8 to 10 place on ladder. Good...

Agree but the issue of moving them on to someone who wants them or having to pay out contract at an agreed amount. I think identification of deadwood and moving them on instead of taking up roster spots is a tricky business but some clubs seem a lot more ruthless at that than WT

From within club we have Mason (geez hope not) and Lailili- one of the 2 brothers has apparently not done a bad job at fill in FB in reserves i think. Nothing else with Doueihi too slow in that role- but you never know they may give him another chance at that. Unless there is another sleeper at...

Thinking more about this- I reckon the best way to ease out the debenture system with Magpies / HBG / Tigers is to stop any new membership to the debenture rolls from now on and eventually by attrition the number of holders will go down and eventually die out. Of course, the debenture holders...

God, I loathe the debenture system and hate the governing effect it has on our club WT, the HBG and the Wests Magpies. The debenture system has to be buried at some stage, no idea how / when, but it is a crook, self interested way of governance influence- and its not as though the holders have...

We don't know at this stage do we for who might or might not be interested in joining WT? To my knowledge we haven't asked about options available and enquired. Certainly if Bula situation fails gain positive traction we have to look at options- all i said was from the current squad we only gave...

The only realistic alternative to Bula in existing top 30 is Turuva

Can WT send a legal 'cease and desist' letter to Ute? He is at it again over Pole. Pole has 2 years left on his current contract with WT. https://www.zerotackle.com/come-back-utoikamanu-wants-to-see-ex-teammate-join-melbourne-storm-227499/ This is getting ridiculous.

Agree

In that case no real need but gee, Id love for Hope to have some utility skills

I wouldnt be against signing Levi but we do have Hope signed for 2026 too. Hope hasnt thrilled me but I suppose as a second string hooker he would do, unless we could unload him elsewhere in the off season. Not much point with having a third one on the top 30 spots unless it was the State Cup...

I think we would be mad to rush Latu back. I don't doubt his passion and skill but man, his body let's him down. It's got to mature too. Big boys like Bunty seem just to be solid and safe in contact sport but Latu sure gets hit a few times.

I'm not sure either. I like Pole, his loyalty and his development but he did somewhat plateau this year. If his heart is still here no probs keeping him but if he wants to go then I wouldn't step in his way.

His injury probably led to this but I can't see the club anywhere giving an update on how he is going.

No doubt he has. Also he's got info from other people too
