Sharks are a smart team they go after your weaknesses all day. Tavana, Toa, Madden had absolute barry crockers. Their defence is not first grade level. Sharks do this to teams they are flat track bullies for a reason. I left at halftime wisely Bigger issue for us is not the loss its the...

Dont be surprised if his brother joins WT. Benji is wise its on the cards.

Terrell May, Taylan May, Jahree Bula. Thats not a bad start to the retention drive. Sam Fainu, Sunia Turuva, Latu Fainu, Makasini, Pole the others we need to lock down. Its a really good sign club focusing on retention rather than luring free agents.

Looks like management have resigned 3/4 of our top players. Well done. Im hoping Turuva, Fainus and to a lesser extent Pole are next. We need to retain our players.

The Broncos are an impressive squad. Roosters are pretenders that was a very one sided officiating performance.

If Bula goes Xavier Savage from Canberra would be worth a crack. He's a fullback playing wing same age as Bula.

Terrible news. Life is more important he has to take it easy.

90% of the players in the league. Any agent would do the same its a new tv deal and increase is substantial.

I may be wrong but my mates a player agent they are waiting until November 1 to use PNG to drive up the market. If be surprised if anyone signs during the season league wide unless the deal is in their favour.

Herbert had a game which may see him in reserve grade for a while against the broncos. His defence was poor and he went for hero plays. I am surprised Skelton is back but he has been banished for some time for mistakes. Benji is holding players accountable for poor performance.

For all the panic merchants players off contract 2027. We have good players but nowhere near the pick of the group. I see no reason we cant retain who we want to keep. Deine Mariner. Brendan Piakoura, Xavier Willison, Jordan Riki, Hudson Young , Matt Burton, Jacob Preston, Bronson Xerri...

Luai leaving in 28 is a blessing in disguise. His contract value is heavily focused on attracting players and leadership. The squad is not in the same position as it was. The biggest challenge is retaining players we have off contract. That said half of the star players in the league are off...

Its a 3 week plan of attack for this team will test our depth. I would have selected AD at fullback, Madden at halfback with Turuva staying on the wing. Sione Fainu to start ag hooker replaced by Latu Fainu.

In order of priority Tigers have to resign Sam Fainu, Bula, Terell May, Taylan May, Makasini, Turuva, Latu Fainu, Fonua Pole. We don't have many high priced players outside of Luai however, this will change. The wisdom of letting TDS and Galvin go is making more sense as time goes by. The only...

The squad is solid now and moving forward. We have a long list that needs to be upgraded and resigned for 2027. Sam Fainu, Latu Fainu, Terell May, Taylan May, Bula, Turuva. We need to strengthen the back up hooker and right centre.

When the PM of the country greets you on arrival its already done.

Even me a Luai fan can see we paid overs and rightfully so to help Benji a rookie coach and attract players and raise standards. Getting out of a 1.2m a year contract for a then 31 years early old five eighth is good business. The club has to manage this well and strengthen other positions and...

The hip drop is a joke it was brought in for the third man in dropping weight on a player held by others. Under the rules he’s guilty and has loading. With no Korisau we have to get Madden into the team. Its left field but Luai to 9.

To quote the great Kerry Packer ‘you only get one alan bond in your lifetime’ We wont be the only team impacted by an Australian Government funded geopolitical based NRL expansion. Luai is the perfect face of the franchise for PNG. He will he 31 and sign a retirement deal which will set up...

To be clear Luai leaving in 28 doesnt make us better. Projecting Latu or even Madden being better players is unfair on them its highly unlikely. Freeing up 1.2m however helps retain Pole, Mays, Fainus, Bula etc. Penrith have been able to regenerate on the run. Id guess the club will know the...
