The only (non-halves) players I would swap Galvin for are: Payne Haas Haumole Olakau’atu Angus Crichton Liam Martin Pat Carrigan Stephen Chrichton All are highly unlikely if not impossible. We have our spine sorted and just need a killer 2nd-rower and to keep our starting 17 fit. I like...

How would people feel if Galvin just came out and said "I've always wanted to play for Parra."? Because I think that's a part of this. He grew up following them, dreamt of representing them, got shafted by them but still wants to go back. Plus having both Isaac and Mitch in his ear, Brown...

Would love to get a list of all Wests Tigers players currently represented by Isaac Moses. Hopefully not too many left after Klemmer and Bateman left.

Personally, I wouldn't let him go. Let him play reserves and fill in for Latu when he's injured. Make him prove his next contract and face the boys every week with his tail between his legs. Will be good for him. HOWEVER, Manly losing DCE next year means they need a win in the halves and could...

Wow. Although not unexpected, still a shock. Brightside, I think Latu is a gun and may actually suit Luai's game better. Galvin and Luai play a similar style of probing, jinking around while Latu plays straighter and could be a good foil to Luai. Also, our cap is in a good place. Keeping...

This has probably been said but for Turuva to be hit high, not get the penalty, BUT get pulled off for a HIA... THEN they get a penalty for a head high and their player NOT get pulled for a HIA, who then kicks the penalty... sus, as the young kids say. I was there on the night and it felt like...

Hi all. So turns out I have a free ticket for tomorrows game if anyone is interested. Got that Foxtel rewards free tickets.

If Eels decide to part ways with Brown early as rumoured, then Knights will need to free up some cap and space. There is a certain backrower there that is close with Benji and we could take over his contract for the rest of 2025 and 26...

Mate, you are a legend. Thank you. Will do.

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I'll be in Sydney this week and scored myself some free tickets to the Warriors game. Any locals have some advice for the best way to get from Newtown to Campbelltown on a Sunday? Train?

IMO, Galvin is not yet a $1M player. I don't think any 19-year-old NRL player is. He'll get there but like Luai or Brown or Cleary, that contract will come after a period of sustained success. Say at 23/24 years old. Even that is earlier than the others mentioned who didn't get their $1M...

Sure but I have a feeling that there's a plan for those spots with each allocated for a certain position or type of player. Just a hunch.

On Taylan, I reckon they're just waiting for the official medical retirement for Olam before pulling the trigger on May. Centre for centre. Leaves a spot open for a forward and one more up our sleeve for if something falls in our lap à la Terrel.

How good is this new try celebration? Gotta say got me amped up. The hand in a claw shape dragged across the chest. Could become iconic and smart marketing for us.

https://www.weststigers.com.au/news/2025/03/14/david-klemmer-departs-wests-tigers/ One prediction down, two to go. ;)

I reckon we'll get a members email tomorrow that Klemmer has been released then another one on Monday that Olam is being medically retired and then one more (let's say Thursday) that Taylan May has signed on. As for the backrow, I personally don't hate Twal and Bird sharing the lock role with...

He'd be so good for us, but he has been out for a year. Even if he signs today I expect it will be a few weeks until he is ready for matches. Hopefully not but just trying to be realistic. But Friday showed us we still need a top-class 2nd-rower and Lock. I'd move Twal into prop rotation and...

Haha. Nice. And you nailed it re. the match-up and luck on the day. But the elephant in the room we're not talking about is if we will draw the ire of the refs again this year. I personally believe a team makes its own luck with discipline, etc. but there were times last year that baffled me...

I'm nervous about this one. We are literally missing 3 of our starting back 5, and 2 of our starting spine players. Like others have said, only our halves Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon theirs. Will be interesting how much that determines on the field. As long as we are competitive, a first-round loss will not decide...
