Clubs like St George, Manly, Gold coast, warriors, eels, dolphins and maybe rabbits might all be potential suitors. I'm not sure it's quite hit 1.2, but desperation for quality halves would probably guarantee near that.

Twal has some arms.

I love that seyfarth discussion has dominated this offseason. Do people think we will be able to keep him away from R360 or will the dollars he could make mean we need to release him?

Our best ever jerseys. I don't think I've ever liked our jerseys. Some of the simple heritage ones have been good. In general I look back on all of them and still think they look bad and have aged even worse. I really like these. I don't know anything about fashion but here I go: They are...

Number of times teams have had round 1 bye: Wests Tigers: 2 Rest of the NRL(16 other teams): 2 Good to see us absolutely dominating the entire NRL in a stat. We get an opening round bye 50% of the time.

1st round byes: 2023 Dragons, won round 2 went 5-19 2024 Tigers, Lost round 2 went 6-18 2025 Titans, Lost round 2 went 6-18 The biggest impact of a 1st round bye would be early season form. I don't think these teams did badly because of the bye but it is obvious that struggling teams are the...

I'm just going to start building offseason hype by declaring that Jack Attard looks real fast in that still photograph and Geyer is literally a giant judging by the proportions of that shot!

I don't really think it ever had much credibility. I get the media buzz and sparkle of the whole thing, but to me it cheapens the game to have that spectacle. But I'm pretty conservative with the game and would just like rugby league to stay as it is (or return to how it was). I'd be interested...

Sad to see you lock in on Luai, @Tucker as you usually get these right when you critique a player. Do you see much positive in his play? Given up on him?

Thank you @tigahhh for earlier translation of Bula's response. Can anyone translate Terrell's response?

I'll probably be proven wrong but I don't rate pezet highly. Has a very good kicking game but looks very limited with the ball as not quick or strong and fairly predictable in his pass selection. Wishart was mostly picked in front of him at halfback this season and is much more threatening with...

Forwards who actually improved coming to us... Luciano, marty tapau, Ryan Matterson, Keith Galloway. Anyone else? Most either go backwards or stay at their level.

I think people expecting huge improvement simply for coming here are falling into a trap in the way we tend to overhype new signings. KPP is a solid player and is an upgrade based on his play last year. He's probably in that Shawn blore type player at the moment in being solid but not really...

I think that's a reasonable comparison but I see both king and Jensen with big effort tackles and strong runs. While a lot of what they do is similarly consistent and workmanlike, they both have a level of intensity and impact that's higher than twal. And I think that's quite an edge they have...

Madge won everywhere except with us. I always felt he needed that next year after finally getting cap space to sign API and papalii but we sack him before he gets the chance and go backwards. It may not have worked out, but he deserved the opportunity. Our club management was terrible. Classic...
