    Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

    Watching Tyrell Sloan last night did nothing to change my mind he isn't worth the risk of signing him. His speed would be a help. Interested to watch Fifita today. He is probably the most impactful player that is potentially available for next season. If we are looking to actually UPGRADE the...

    LIVE GAME Rd. 20 spoilers

    Anything has to be better than hearing Cooper Cronk & Greg Alexander tell me how rubbish they think the Tigers are every week.

    Yes. But that wasn't quite the point I was making regarding Bird last off-season. I was saying Bird is a 5/8 or centre, not a second rower/lock. Nothing I've seen this year disproves that thought. I'd still rather Bird had been signed to play as a utility back than back rower. To my point-...

    Makasini & May probably offer the greatest chance of upgrading our outside backs next season. Not much available from outside the club. Timing might just be right for Makasini to step up.

    Looking at the contracts- seems the club is in a good position to remove a number of questionable contracts in a year. It's obviously still guess work, but the quality of our Development contracts from 2025 to 2026 seems a dramatic improvement...Will Craig, Alex Lobb.... There are a number of...

    Going, Going, almost Gone

    I still think Hook Griffin would be a good #2 along with Morris for Benji.

    Raiders are 4 points clear. Sharks jump to 6th over Roosters, Sea Eagles & Penrith. Dolphins jump to 8th over Roosters & Sea Eagles. Tigers, Rabbitohs & Knights join the Dragons & are 4 points away from Dolphins, Sea Eagles & Roosters. Titans are essentially 4 points adrift of the Tigers...

    Titans, Eels & Dragons have had all their Bye's. That needs to be taken into account. Not surprisingly- nearly ALL the top sides, except the Raiders & Broncos, have also had all their Bye's. When you factor in the free 2 points to the teams still to get their 3rd Bye....the ladder looks...

    Just looking at players that are actually off contract & available, I think that Taylan May is an obvious re-sign for the club. If Sullivan stays- he's the back-up #7. If the Rabbitohs decide to keep him, the club needs an option at #6/#7 as a back-up. Tom Duffy, Sean O'Sullivan or even Blake...

    Roster turnover will be key to the success of the club, obviously. I think we probably have 22 players on the books at this point for next season- Backs- 1. Bula 2. Turuva 3. To'a 4. Skelton 5. Luke Lualili'i 6. Luai 7. Latu Fainu 8. Mason 9. Saukuru Forwards- 10.Terrell May 11. Twal 12...

    Forward Pack

    Need a utility forward to cover #9. Carrying a specialist hooker for a team that is short impact, when the specialist on the bench is more 'tradesman' than 'impact' is a waste.

    Team vs Titans next round

    Not a lot to like about how we were dominated through the middle. Hopefully Bula is back. 1. Bula 2. Turuva 3. To'a 4. Taylan May 5. Skelton 6. Luai 7. Latu Fainu 13. Doueihi 12. Sukkar 11. Samuela Fainu 10. Pole 9. Koroisau 8. Terrell May 14. Hope 15. Royce Hunt/Kit Lualili'i 16. Sione Fainu...

    It'd be great to sign Papali'i. Of course, front row is probably the position we are most top heavy with, so there is that to consider before bringing in a guy to take the place of one of the existing players. #13 however, is being filled by one of those front row options in Twal. So Frizell...

    Knights signing Papali'i depends on the contract status of Gagai & Frizell. Tigers have been linked to Frizell through Benji & #13 is still an upgradable position. Gagai to replace Doueihi now that he is a Moses client. It's not that long a bow to draw..

    I'd much rather Bula, and was happy with Turuva. But if Bula WAS to go, Will Kennedy is a good player.

    Race to escape the Bottom 4

    Cowboys & Dragons have a rough ride home & shouldn't be discounted....but the Eels get it worst I think.

    Latu Fainu #282

    Latu looks like the kind of talent that makes other players want to be in his team.

    Predicted ladder 2025

    Momentum at this time of year is a greater quality to have than anything else. It gives the players belief, drives them on. They MIGHT have gone out the gates a week or two early. But still- they look quality. What you don't want to be is wobbling now, or suffering significant injury. Metcalfe...
