It’s hardly buying a premiership wanting to recruit a couple a high quality players that could mean the difference between winning g and losing games that we are currently losing.

He is currently off contract for 2027 and someone will pay him a million dollars per season, whether that’s the Roosters, another lucky NRL club or the ARU. When talking million dollar per season contracts, that is unheard of for a winger, so it’s extremely likely someone will play him at...

They have not yet played fullback at NRL level, However based on their physical attributes and skill set, there is a an extremely high possibility both would be exceptionally good fullbacks if and when they are given that opportunity, Purdue in particular has fullback written all over him and is...

For minimal difference in cost, would you prefer a right centre and wing combination of To’a and Turuva, or Farnworth/Nawaqanitawase and Laulilli ? As I keep saying, we as supporters seem very happy to accept mediocrity and not want to believe that Wests Tigers as a club can strive to be the best.

It’s hard to see 1.3 million dollars of value in Dylan Brown, but he’s no lesser of a 5/8 than our own Jerome Luai, so if we are questioning Newcastle we should also be questioning ourselves.

You honestly believe Bula is on the same level as those two ?

Let me explain to you. As of 2027 we will have 12 million dollars to soend on our salary cap just like every other NRL club. As of November 1 this year which is fast approaching, we have the opportunity to recruit for 2027. If we continue to choose to spend our salary cap on players who are not...

Correct and that cannot be questioned. What can be questioned is do our current 1-5 have enough star factor to win a premiership? If the answer is no, changes would ideally need to be made when a player, or players with genuine star quality become available wouldn’t they ?

We have 2 better wingers than him apparently. It’s really surprising how we miss the top 8 with the team full of superstars that we have ? According to a large part of our supporter base, all we need is two high quality middles and we become the complete rugby league team that should be winning...

It’s certainly not yours when you believe all we need to do is leave Doueihi out of our top 17 and we win the competition. We are overpaying slightly above average players and it’s preventing us from having any cap space to create a genuine top 8 roster. If this season didn’t prove it to you...

It’s already fact that we are hoping to offload as much of Bud Sullivan’s contract as possible and it’s been stated we are trying offload Jack Bird and potentially Royce Hunt. So we are hoping Souths come to the party in regards to Bud Sullivan and I’m assuming the only possible chance of...

Do you remember Pat Richards by any chance ? Turuva is wholehearted and always gives his best, but his 450k contract is pushing the limits of his ability. I’m not saying get rid of him right now, but if we needed to find an extra 250k to put towards signing a genuine elite player, one option...

Yes I think we all know Twal is not a stereotypical 13 and stunts our attack more often than not. But as you have e mentioned our defence is very suspect hand Twal is one of our better and more reliable defenders, so how do we replace him at 13 and not allow our defence to be even weaker than It...

So what players that are realistic recruitment options for 2026 or 2027 do you suggest we target to improve us in this area ?

I value Bula at around 700k. That being the case I wouldn’t be against us paying him 800k, maybe even 900k at a stretch. But if he is looking for any more than 900k as part of a long term deal, which I am sure he will be, I simply don’t see any value for money from him in that price range. So I...

In a team containing star players where they could simply fill a role. We don’t have that same luxury.

The bacs are not even close to being good enough to win us a premiership. If you are happy with the club you support continually being happy with mediocrity then I wish you well, but doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, you know what they say about that.

N News flash, there are next to no middles available and unless we are offering Payne Haas 1.6 million per season, the vast majority of middles becoming available are not going to dramatically improve us. With Terrell May, Sione Fainu, Fonua Pole and Alex Twal, we have 4 solid NRL middles. I’d...

Correct that we don’t have the capacity to change much for 2026. 2027 is a different story and recruitment for 2027 starts on November 1 which is not far away. Would you prefer that Wests Tigers as a club sits on its hands and waits until all the top quality players have been snapped up by other...

If an NRL club way outside the top 8 does not look at ways to dramatically improve their playing roster, they continue tn finish well outside the top 8. Is that a better solution ?
