    I think there are a few factors in play. He is 26...Penrith deal would take him to 28. At 28 a half should be able to then sign a long term deal through to 32. So, he'd have two more deals. If he takes Saints rumored offer, he'd be through to 30. Likely another deal after that, but 30 is...

    OFFICIAL Fainu Brothers.

    No generalisations. It is fact one brother is in jail. If you saw the case, it was overwhelmingly obvious...yet he took no responsibility. It is fact Samuela has a shocking driving record. It is a fact he lost his license and still went driving and speeding days later. I am tired of people...

    OFFICIAL Fainu Brothers.

    Given one brother is already in jail...it is fairly clear these blokes do not have a lot of brains, nor do they learn. You would think the older brother's jailing might have helped the younger ones grow up faster. No excuse for that driving record and it is often ends in innocent people being...

    FWIW I have a mate who is 'very' close to Penrith and has been for decades... I spoke to him yesterday and he said they expect to lose Luai in 2025. He said they won't go above 850, which is what they believe his value is. He said St George are hanging around and have indicated they will...

    LIVE GAME Round 21 vs. Dragons

    Hate to single out players...but even a bog average center and half back and we win easily last night. Talau was atrociously bad. Wakeham was three steps behind the pace all night. Take both out and put in any competent duo and we win 12 + Disappointing part is that game was prob our only...

    Sheens selections

    Talau is an attrocious footballer...classic case of his physical size getting him through the grades, but having absolutely no IQ. He does not even know a basic thing like draw and pass. Having said that...souths next week. You can't debut Feledy in that game. Walker destroys every edge and it...

    Galvin is very good / great IQ. But I am fairly sure he is the same height as Joseph Suallili...which is prob too tall to play 7 as he gets older.

    Let's say Rothfield is right...and clubs induce players with outside the cap extras. Maybe that explains why we can't recruit...as we won't do it?

    Lee H on tv tonight explaining how it all works...he is many things, but he knows the law and he always explains the cap... Let's not be naïve here...we have a boss who won't break rules and never plead ignorance. Good traits. And people wonder why shonky managers won't send us their players...

    He would be a great addition. Genuine speed and can create. Re Croft...very hard to tell. He does 'seem' to have matured and has been a great leader in the UK...close to best player there. But...Brooks would also have been the best player there if he went same age. So, it is very hard to draw...

    Fairly simple...I do not like Rothfield at all, but he has literally called Gus a salary cap cheat and says he has all the proof. Massive defamation case for Gus if not true. If Gus does nothing...after being called a cheat...then that will say it all.

    TEAM LIST Round 20 vs. Knights

    Yeah...probably Simona. So, that was how long ago now? Eight years? Eight years since we have had a center play two strong games in a row.

    TEAM LIST Round 20 vs. Knights

    Sadly true... Serious question for anyone who wants to answer.... Q: When was the last time a wests tigers center played two great games in a row? I honestly can't remember. Maybe Lawry ten years ago?

    Real X factor Passing game can play 1 or 6 No doubt we consider him.......about two months after Gus gets his man. Gus = out and about with everyone decent off contract. Our boss = "something always falls from the trees"...

    TEAM LIST Round 20 vs. Knights

    Yeah...apart from the halves... And that neither center can pass, nor read on D...and neither center has ever played two good games in a row... And neither winger can hold high kicks. Apart from 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 we look good in the backs...

    The worst thing about following a crap club

    Worst thing is a day like this... Nofaluma finally out a while...so we end up with AJ, who is an atrocious winger in...and Naden, who barely even tries, on the bench. Worst outside backs in NRL history.... And then you think: Nofa 500 Naden 400 AJ even on min is 200...but probably 300 with...

    LIVE GAME Round 19 vs. Sharks

    A constructive rant Watersider ;) To be honest...I did not comment post game last week as my son was in tears. His generation do not even know what success feels like. So, no time to post / trying to cheer him up for 30 mins after the game. I personally am mainly focused on the juniors from...

    Salary cap absolutely dead if that is allowed... Let's say he is offered a 10 % share...over a lifetime that will be worth millions.

    TEAM LIST Round 19 vs. Sharks

    I have seen a few of the state cup games...and will smith has been shockingly bad. I.e. makes Wakeham look like an immortal bad. The one I am surprised about is Reilly. His D is not great, but his attack has been very good. AJ and Talau are just as bad defenders...but neither have anywhere...
