I spoke to Adam he was in good spirits. He reckons he’ll be 100% by the start of pre-season so shouldn’t expect any delays, looked healthy and happy too throughout the night. Regarding who wasn’t in attendance - don’t think Turuva was there as well as Skelton. Whilst the more obvious ones like...

Don’t see the point to rush - 6 months from now would be around the round 4 timeline. He did also state best case would be 4 months but the medical team want to be cautious. Expect him to be back in the lineup anywhere from round 1-3.

Good news…. Latu Fainu aiming for a round 3 return in his words. Surgery went well and he feels good. Not as bad as first anticipated. Really nice and soft spoken guy as well FYI.

I’ll be there - hoping to get some info but no promises.

People were parading about getting Kobie Hetherington to the club. Lindsay Smith is leaps and bounds the better player and could be a future 13 with his ball playing skills. I think it’s a no brainer.

Lindsay Smtih can play and he’s only going to get better. Still only 25, fits perfectly on the same timeline as Terrell May as well. Could build a good combo together for the next decade.

This take might ruffle a few feathers but I believe Latu is a clear running 6 and not a 7.

Latu Fainu going for shoulder reconstruction is an obvious blow. I think with AD going back to 7 that’ll fill the void for the time being but also leaves a gap at 13. I personally think Josh Curran would be an incredible signing for us and very gettable for 2026. He could potentially play lock...

Don’t stress about Bula… he’s staying

I really like Radley as a player and wouldn’t be opposed at all to him as his ball playing skills alone would do so much for Luai/Latu plus his defensive ability with his line speed is such a bonus. However I’m really excited to see AD get a full preseason in the lock position with Latu...

I think it’s pretty clear we need at least 2 middle forwards to properly start competing for the top 8 and give ourselves a real chance to build off. We have the salary cap space maybe we throw the cash this summer going all in on one of either Tino/Hass and making a statement. There’s also a...

Spoke to someone who’s pretty in the know and very accurate with info. He reckons Bula is set to re-sign but the plan is to be a Wests Tigers player for life. Expecting a long extension. Watch this space.

One of the good ones

Forget about Alamoti and Laurie. That young kid they’ve got David Fale looked pretty talented out there. 7 tackle breaks against a Bulldogs defensive side is pretty solid stuff. Very close to Turuva and available to talk to clubs in November - can cover wing/centre.

Have a feeling we’re eyeing a big name, we have the cap space and have an obvious need for a middle. Seems very quiet, a little too quiet… I reckon Richo and Benji are working in the shadows for a big name to come with KPP next year or potentially in 2027. Question is who….

I came into this thread expecting there to be some comments on Brandy’s commentary over Galvin. It’s laughable how biased he was to try protect the kid from any backlash, he played terrible both defensively and offensively. He made bad defensive reads one that led to a try, he made errors with...

Pipe dream I know but not impossible. Lindsay Smith available to talk to clubs November 1st. Penrith might feel the pinch of the cap with Cleary, Yeo, Edwards, Tago big contracts and not be able to compete with us. I would pay him top dollar, he’s an excellent player imo and starting to...

Agree - especially re Skelton for his size and strength, he finishes really well.

Given this is a signings thread… I thought I would give massive wraps on what the signing of Sunia Turuva has done for us as a club both on-field and off-field. A lot of people give the credit to Luai for helping build the culture (deservingly so), however it seems like Tito has such a strong...

Mainuse’s management team from what I’m being told is working very very hard from behind the scenes to try make it possible to find ways for registration by next year or potentially 2027 - then if successfully registered they’ve made it clear to the club he’d like to earn a spot via a T&T...
