Not at all, but I didn’t think scoring 4 tries against the Cook Islands automatically makes you a superstar and worthy of a 900k per season contract ?

The Wests Tigers curse.

I agree if we could acquire Sam Hughes and not break the bank in doing so, he could be someone that fills a position adequately and not prevent us from hunting some bigger names.

We have some big decisions to make in regards to our middles over the next 12 months. We currently to have Terrell May on a contract of around 660k until the end of 2027. I assume we would ideally like to extend him until the end of 2028 or 2029 which would most likely require an upgraded...

I would add a clause where we increase his contract to 1.5 million if he plays 3 or more SOO games as it is never going to happen.

Jayden Sullivan is a more dangerous ball runner, but doesn’t seem to use his voice, has very limited game management skills and a very limited kicking game. Jock Madden is without doubt a better fit for us being a much more natural halfback with a much more rounded game including a decent...

Some club will take him off their hands, there is a noticeable shortage in decent quality props across nearly all NRL clubs. Sam Hughes is nothing exceptional, but has good NRL experience, plenty of size, good mobility and a decent motor for a big man and at age 24 he should be approaching his...

The point is Bula himself can activate his own contract extension at 800k which is extremely good money for a player of his ability. It would appear Wests Tigers are baulking at activating his extension at 900k and could you blame us if this is correct ? Some say what is an extra 100k, but like...

That’s it, stuff our salary cap just to get one over Isaac Moses.

Fonua Pole would get a spot in the top 17 of every NRL club. His form was inconsistent and a long way from his best in 2025, but he is elite in terms of forwards under the age of 23. Our forward pack has a lot of potential, much moreso than our backs.

When you go to watch the games I assume you would ideally like your team to win ? If we continue to overpay players we will not have enough money left to fill the team with players capable of winning more games than we lose. Surely you are sick of us losing, I know I am. Jahream is a good...

Hardly spectaculation, clubs tend to keep or at least try to keep the players they are happy with. She was not offered a new contract, hardly a sign the club was happy with her and wanted to keep her moving forward.

So she was sacked. If your employer doesn’t think you are doing a good enough job and chooses not to extend your employment, that means you have been sacked.

He could have activated his extension clause anytime he liked. Would you not assume if he has chosen not to activate it that he is wanting more than the activation clause value that is reportedly 800k ?

Cost is very important as when paying players above 800k it means they are the ones that need to regularly be highly dominant match winners. I would go as high as an upgrade to 800k for Jahream in 2026, providing he also signs for 800k in 2027 and 2028. That would give him the loyalty and...

Tucker I assume you have seen quite a bit of Jaxon Purdue and AJ Brimson play? Tell me what Bula can do that either of those 2 cannot do and much more ? Purdue is 12 months away from being every bit as good and influential as Reece Walsh and AJ is freak who can single handedly win games for his...

I would be happy with that. Somehow I don’t think that will be agreed to.

Bula is a good player, I just cannot see value in him at 900k or higher. When you are talking about players getting paid that type of money, you expect elite individually brilliant match winners. How often have you seen him single handedly be the difference in us winning or losing from his...

We ideally need a depth 9 who is a much more physical defender than anyone else we currently have on our 2026 playing roster and Danny Levi is one of the only ones available that fit that description. I’ve said before Tristan Hope is not a bad player, but he does not offer anything different...

His daughter is Jahream’s partner/wife. She was not retained for 2026, so unwanted, sacked, whatever you want to call it.
