He asked for $500k. Richo doesn't want to spend more than $300k. So AD sent Moses to have a sniff elsewhere but mainly to put pressure on Richo. He wants to stay but wants to be paid. That was all before the lock move though so me thinks there may be a discussion coming re. his commitment to...

Nervous about this one. Titans don't look as bad as the ladder suggests. Their middles can be dangerous and, going from last week, is a current weakness of ours. Here's hoping the Leichhardt Lift works its magic and the Titans crumble from the sheer support from the Hill. PREDICTIONS/HOPES...

A few tidbits from the agent side of things (supposedly): Wests Tigers apparently have $1M earmarked for a big name recruit for 2026 rather than journeymen types. Going for Adam Reynolds was evidence for this as well as front-loading contracts and removing players this year. No one signed yet...

This is the best team we can field giving Bula's injury. Will be a good test coming off the back of an unexpected but well fought win. Payback for round 4.

I flippin love Benji.

Or, and hear me out... maybe we're the ones that aren't aware of the true situation and going off half-cocked based on media dribble...?

Got some crumbs yesterday but been super busy. Again, take with a grain of salt but he's been pretty reliable so far... Apparently, the whole TDS wants out thing is BS. The club sat with him months ago. He wants to stay and they want to keep him BUT he (ie. his manager) thinks he needs to have...

Sexton potentially to Titans before June 30, and Titans looking to ship Fafita ASAP to accommodate. Interesting.

Seems my source was on the money (and on the sauce). Galvin deal was done, KPP and May both announced. Which means we may not be done yet on the signing front. Interested to see if he's three from three. Catching up with him again soon so will squeeze him for more info then!

IMO, May was offered a base deal which included playing reserves for this year and top 30 2026. His reps decided they will test the market and will come back to WT once they know what others are offering. It will be up to us to then match it or step away. Typical negotiations in my book.

Got some third hand info last night at an Origin party from someone who knows player agents supposedly. Take with a grain/bucket of salt... Galvin deal should be announced by COB Friday as there was some hold up over small print. This is probably the non-disclosure clause but could be something...

Only one prop on the bench? 😬

Agreed. It doesn't add up and, pardon the trope, it doesn't pass the pub test. Are politics at play? Player agents perhaps? If they have the power to demand which journalists can or cannot appear on Channel 9 NRL shows, could they have sway over rep selections? Could the mentor coach, Bellamy...

Was there any positives from the Melbourne game? I don't want to watch it again and in the moment I couldn't see much. I believe we're in desperate need of a bye (and some recruits) and we'll bounce back but hoping someone saw something in that game that suggested it wasn't as bad as it seemed...

Not saying I have an inside word or anything, and maybe this has already come out, but I have heard that we are about to announce a few new signings in the next week or so, one of which has all happened quickly off the back of the Galvin saga. My money is on KPP to be coming here for 2026. Will...

Maybe this has been said but... Bullying is defined under section 789FD of the Fair Work Amendment Act 2013 (Cth) as when an individual or group of individuals repeatedly behave unreasonably towards a worker and that behaviour creates a risk to health and safety. As this response was 1...

Here's a little insight that offers another angle to all this... Apparently, Galvin had said to his manager that he wanted to play for the Eels eventually but was happy to try his hand at WT. They did the extension in 2023 at Tigers, were a little unhappy with Benji buying all the halves and...

Check out the Bloke in a Bar live reaction to Benji's press conference. It's a fun watch and shows what the non-tiger NRL fan thinks. They loved it! Starts at minute 41.

I love Benji and our two captains on such a primal level. Benji's honesty and no-ego approach and Romey/Api's quiet fire bubbling beneath the surface. Win, learn or draw they all are true tigers and deserve our utmost respect. This could be the thing that pushes us to another level this year. Go...
