One can’t tackle? You do realise Turuva has a 74.3% tackle efficiency while Talagi had 80.6% this season? To put this in perspective his wing partner To’o was at the 89.6% while Tago was 88% Alamoti 83.7% Based on statistics Turuva’s defence is quite poor compared to the rest of Penrith backs...

I’m not sure of the exact rules mate but regardless if they are allowed too or not, we all know they are 😂😂

If it was ‘a load of waffle’ why is it also being reported Dogs are favourites to sign him by the actual media? This already proves your point that no one has spoken to him/his manager as wrong. everyone knows player managers break the rules & clubs just have to accept it until the nrl imposes...

How bout warriors? Montoya leaving + DWZ is off contract 2026

There is a lot of talented young players available come November 1 that could agitate for a release a season early if signed elsewhere… hopefully we are looking at guys like Davvy Moale, Xavier Willison, Bullemor, Loiero, Josiah Pohulu Hasset etc & could even get lucky enough to get a early...

That would make sense after the Buzz column about a young player getting sacked. would be too big of a mistake for them to ‘accidentally’ leave him out from the article & graphic of the rep players considering they even added Ipap who’s leaving + players that have never laced a boot for this...

I’m happy to take that tag champ 😃 I have to say your claim before that there has only been 1 player swap in the NRL is completely false… there has been plenty over the years & 1 is currently happening between Cowboys & Sea Eagles. I guess I’m the amateur of following your conversations & you...

Amateur? 😂 What are you the pro of fan forums lmao? get a grip mate

Yea I agree 100%. Panthers would of course take a player like Staines for depth & have already signed plenty of other tigers players for it in past. My point was if you think a trade with him & To’o is realistic you are delusional IMO. Next thing we will here Leota for Klemmer needs to be done… 😂

I’m not saying panthers wouldn’t take Tigers players, you are putting words in my mouth. What I’ve clearly stated is panthers WILL NOT give up the best winger in the comp for Bateman & Staines… the fact you think it’s even possible just shows you have no idea

I never thought Garner was a bad player like you must have so that’s not a great example IMO. Panthers already have Ipap, Garner, Sorensen & Martin as first grade back rowers not sure why they would need another, that’s a borderline stupid suggestion… As for Staines, well there’s a reason...

So trade the best winger in the comp for 2 players the 3 time wooden spoon team doesn’t even want, yea I’m sure that’s a chance 😂

If he plays well he will get a debut late in the season. My point was if telling a young player they are a chance at making a debut convinces them to stay I don’t see any problems with it if they are good enough

Earned it how? They are basically in identical points of their careers

How do the people that said it was ridiculous for manly to tell Large he’d play first grade next year feel about Makasini’s manager confirming he was promised the same thing? I personally don’t have problems with teams doing it but a lot of people on here had different opinions

So does Tedesco… huge difference between having injury problems in your early 20’s then when your 30+ with your body already run down from hundreds of NRL games.

When on the field I think Bird can still do a good job but the problem with him is the injuries. It’s the same with Olam - on paper they are good signings but if their bodies are cooked it’s just a waste of time & money

Yep Edwards & Turbo have been doing this for a couple years now. I’m sure a lot of other teams will do the same over the next few years

We all thought the same when Kikau, Critta, Api, Leniu left 😭 I agree that Luai is a huge loss but Blaize Talagi is a special talent replacing him

I don’t see how Broncos could keep both Willison & Ben Te Kura, both of those guys will be rep players of the future & are worth investing in if a chance arises
