Tigers poach schoolboy star after messy exit​

Talented utility back David Bryenton, who made headlines by walking out on Canterbury earlier this year, has signed with Wests Tigers.

Bryenton, who won the Peter Sterling Medal as the country's best schoolboy player in 2025, joined the Bulldogs last season but quit after a dispute over the terms of his contract.

The young fullback from renowned Gold Coast nursery Keebra Park State High School has been in hot demand ever since and his move to the Tigers is a big coup for the club.

He is expected to start next season in the NSW Cup but don’t be surprised if he is in the top grade team at either centre or wing by mid-season.

Good to be on the other end of a "disputed exit". If he goes well here, that's an added bonus. This is a good F U to the Dogs.
 
Does anyone know why manly are so insistent on having a fire sale, they don’t even have a good roster, so who is being well overpaid, are both the turbos on 1.2m?

Manly are probably the only team that pay their performance staff less than us.

They have probably overpaid a lot of players to make up for that deficit.
 
If what The Mole reported is true (doubtful) the ‘fire sale’ is to free up space for Grant. Bullemor had a bad year but looked really good in 2025, he’d be worth a look for plenty of clubs
