Got some 2nd hand signing info from reliable source that may have been posted here already. Bula was offered a 4 year deal (new deal starting 2027 not extension) worth $3.5M late last year. Apparently his manager said they only want 2 years. Tigers then presented a 2 year offer but it turns out...

Those texts from the Storm to the NRL CEO may be bigger than we think. It points to corruption. Corruption from a corrupt club that shows off their corruption when they claim premierships they were stripped of -- but moreso that the NRL allows it and seems to bend over for them. This may be...

Laundy Hotels is contracted as the major front-of-jersey sponsor for the dogs until the end of 2027. Will be interesting to see if they extend for a further 5 years (which is an option) or if they decide against it clearing the way to buy the mighty Wests Tigers...

I would definitely want a backup for Api on the bench. I realise Latu can cover 9 (he played hooker for Tonga a few years ago so must have some chops there) but haven't seen him training there much. Maybe I missed it. And I assume Makasini will likely get a spot on the 6-man bench as he can...

He's training with reserves. As I've alluded to, there was a bit of a fallout after some honest words last season but since then he's determined to prove himself. It's been humbling but apparently there's been a real change in him. I wish him all the best.

I guess it's a perspective thing. He believes he's eliminating distractions for himself. May seem strange to us, but different people have different processes they need to do to help them focus.

Terrell May is on a self-imposed media ban, which has then evolved into a good-natured, if somewhat eccentric, game he is playing with the media/fans. The good news is he is doing it to eliminate distractions and focus on pre-season. I admire his commitment -- like him running a marathon last...

I may be proven wrong but I have a suspicion that Hunt could be an x-factor for us this year off the bench. Apparently, getting two tries in our last game shifted something in him and he made sure to stay fit and get in shape this offseason. Looked good at training, too. Also, think Bunty is a...

Both options are for 2027. Reportedly, the deadline is May. If we take it up, we will pay ~$900k for 2027. If we don't, he can take up his offer for ~$800k for 2027. Either way, his new manager (I Moses) won't get any commission from it. Thus, both parties negotiating a new long-term deal that...

It is curious. I'm not much for social media but just looked through the photos and only found one pic with him in it, albeit from the back. I'll do some digging.

He's been at training. Not sure what people are saying but he's there and running drills with the team.

I agree. My gut is that Twal will start the game at lock for 20/25 mins to sure up the middle defensively until the sting is out of the collisions a bit then Latu will come on with Doueihi shifting to a ballplaying lock with ostensibly two 5/8s either side of the ruck. Lots of attacking...

Agreed. Apparently, something clicked in him after scoring those two tries in our last game. Breakthroughs happen at different times and this one may be really good for us come 2026 season.

But those one or two changes could be🔥...🤞 (also, I just discovered we can do emojis )

"nearly obliterated"? What are you talking about? Either your cognitive dissonance is too strong or you are taking the piss. We're called WESTS tigers. Literally half of the name is from the WS Magpies side. A team name is location and mascot. We took half from one and half from the other. How...
