Obviously referring to Latu Fainu. I rate him highly also, but he’s predominantly a ball runner, he’s not comfortable and doesn’t have the voice to be an on the ball game controlling 7. If we are wanting or trying to make him a 7, the best we could hope for is him becoming somewhat similar to...

Brad Arthur had a genuine quality playmaking 7 to steer the ship and lead his team. We don’t have that.

Correct they can be wrong. Based on your recent posts I assume you also believe it’s unlikely we will improve in 2026 based on not being more active in player recruitment ?

It’s called realism, not living in a fantasy world. If you know better put your money where your mouth is. Plenty of money to be won if the bookmakers are wrong and you are right.

Because it’s true. We have an unbalanced over rated and over paid roster thst will take another 3 years to fix. The 2026 season will reveal exactly where we are at and I hope I’m wrong, but most rugby league analysts and the bookmakers all agree we will struggle to improve on our 2025 result.

A genuine 7 with a competent kicking game and a 6 who is a genuine running line break and try scoring threat.

Not my fault that most rival NRL clubs spend their salary cap more wisely than what Wests Tigers do.

Not a bad list, particularly a halves pairing of Sexton and Wishart

Perth Bears will finish higher up the NRL competition ladder than we will in 2027, mark my words.

I bet Perth and PNG are thankful none of our squad are heading their way. The Fainu brothers and the May brothers are the only ones they would want at the price we are paying our players.

You understand the value that smart lower tier squad filler recruits can provide. The Panthers and Storm also understand it, funny where they generally finish on the ladder.

Well spotted The Chad. You often come up with some very good lower profile options.

It’s a circus. We’re at an auction full of dummy bidders.

Can they score tries ? Send them our way.

Very good post
