Really hope this is to play lock. He’s a tough footy player. Will hopefully fill the role we wanted Bateman to play he’s just bigger and at half the price. Needs to stay on the field but adds something different to what we have next year.

Pretty sure he’s another who got away. I believe he played for North Ryde in the Balmain comp in a team with Mitchell Pearce

What was said?

Yeah that’s him

For what it’s worth. My cousin spoke with Luai’s manager at Port Mac touch last week (they are mates). He said Luai hasn’t signed anything but ‘he will be at the tigers from 2025’. No idea how much or how long or anything else

Luai is generally regarded in rugby league circles as one of the better blokes in the NRL. A mate has been in origin camp for the past 3 years and said fox, to’o and Luai are the best blokes in the team. Give the most to fans, treat the staff the best (apparently RCG is the worst bloke)

I understand that the club halted all recruitment until the review is finished

Just saw the Warriors announced Villiami Vailea is leaving. He is young and very athletic. He’s a bit raw but I reckon he would be a great pick up (if only we had a couple of roster spots to pick up players like that)

I just don’t see how the PNG team works, if it’s based out of cairns it would be a big strain on players travelling all the time. If it’s based in PNG they will not attract any other talent. Government funding is a real thing though. DFAT have been pulling the strings For the Government funded...

This is the correct answer

I worked for one of the more well known managers for a while. 6% on footy salary 20% on endorsements/TPAs

You guys realise he also got the players player award as well

Straight from the horses mouth big fella.

He wants to come back to Sydney. We were the club that approached him. In the end he decided to stick it out in France for the rest of the year. He will be back with an NRL club next year.

Mitch had agreed at around $250k to come to the tigers this year back when we were after Moses. We went silent to focus on Moses and by the time we came back to him he thought he had been brushed and so had already told Catalans that he would stay for the year and knocked us back. We then...

That’s how it works. If a player leaves mid season they do not need to be replaced. They count towards your top 30.

I almost appreciate this level of trolling. Outstanding stuff

Yeah and Joey Johns was more dominant at Hooker too with Toovey and Kimmorley playing halfback in front of him in origin.

Lol absolute nonsense

Totally agree that you need specialists centres and can’t keep dumping blokes like Talau and Kapoa there. All I’m saying is the days of Gidley, Lyon and Gasnier creating from the centres are gone. They mainly need to be able to defend and catch and pass. If a centre is in your top 5 highest paid...
