Katoa ain’t the future…he’s the present. One of the top bracket of halfback in the comp right now.

Darryl Halligan was no speedster.

I could cop it if he speared in at the legs. But that was just a solid tackle that was simultaneous with him kicking. Not late. Not high. Not attacking the legs. WTF is Jerome supposed to do?

The last gasp desperation efforts by Penrith in the last 10 minutes. Not much wrong with Tigers attack this arvo.

Agree. But it was a big moment and a really bad call. No reward for the effort to get to the kicker and put pressure on. The ball hadn’t even left his boot when he hit him.

Katoa is the best young half in the comp by a mile. No contest.

Is he playing 80 mins or most of the game in Cup? Perhaps Benji thinks that’s far better development for TDS than 15-20 minutes off the bench in NRL.

Anyone on here who would consider Gagai on a 1 year deal for the right money? I know we were burnt with Olam, but Gagai still looks fit, doesn’t seem to have any chronic injuries and puts in a solid shift every week. Good defender. Still has some footwork for an older player. Can create an extra...

Hard though to carry a guy in your 17 that is gassed after 10 minutes. Not as if they have been barnstorming Spencer Leniu type minutes either.

If he’s that unfit nearly halfway through the season it reflects poorly on the clubs strength and conditioning. I know they can’t do the training for him or remove fourandtwenty pies from every servo he passes on the way to and from training, but there does need to be some adult supervision.

3 Fainus in the squad. Just like the Mortimer brothers back in the 80’s . Hope they all lift for the occasion. Family must be proud of them. Go Tigers.

Players are happy to go to Melbourne very early in their career without the guarantee of a Top 30. Wests Tigers have offered way too many of these to attract players to the club, and then have the problem of a top 30 roster with too many spots taken by players who are not yet NRL ready, or by...

In all of the examples there is a common theme, and a consistent underlying root cause. That would be Issac Moses. He uses the club like an organ donor. That’s the lesson. I know Bula is with him as well, but if we sign any more Moses affiliated players we deserve what we get. He’s a grub. We...

Maybe. They risk being binned though if they have been called out by the ref.

You’d be a hoot to work with :)

He needs to play finals in 26 and 27, and finish in or around the 8 this year. You don’t do that by moving on your best player to accommodate a promising but very green up and comer.

He probably sees himself as a starting quality hooker in 2026, and that won’t happen while we have Api, certainly not next season and probably the one after. Rather than lose him altogether, why not consider a Harry Grant type scenario. Loan him to another club for a season to get him regular...

Ryan Matterson, Michael Chee Cam, Zane Musgrove…

Think I’d start Sione and keep Hunt on bench.

If Api is gassed, maybe Mason jumps into dummy half for a spell, Naden comes on at 5/8 or Douhie slots in at 5/8 and Naden into the centres. Not saying I like it, but no point having Naden on the bench if you don’t use him.
