The twitter folk will have a field day with what that asterisk means, here comes another 26 pages to this conversation

Must be true, someone on Twitter (X) said it 🙄

Faatape

A. Large should be in the second group given the club has already said long-term plans and transitioning to NRL program. Onitoni Large (16) and younger brother Ashton (14) are the youngest players included in the club’s long-term planning and are scheduled to experience the NRL program as they...

Agree on Moors and potentially also Fui.

If as described it is poor form from Richo. A young, loyal sponsor, in our backyard in Minto (suggests a long term option) who was solid through a pretty ordinary period for the club to say ‘If you love the club, you’ll let it happen’ when you have an exclusivity clause is extremely poor form.

One of the Wests Tigers’ major sponsors has quit after a blazing row with CEO Shane Richardson. FAB Industrial Logistics managing director Neil Fabry confirmed his company will no longer be the Tigers’ $800,000-a-year back-of-jersey and sleeve sponsor. He informed the club via an email and...

Confusion is growing at Wests Tigers over the recent appointment of Shane Richardson as interim CEO and cloudy details around a potential conflict of interest. An internal Tigers source recently alerted us to the fact the club had signed rookie Queensland Cup centre Solomona Faataape, a...

Buzz article (below) now saying that not correct. Pascoe forwarded to Benji and Benji said not interested.

It's great to have all these plans for players like Large, but they obviously have a say in it as they come off contract. With a lack of halves across the NRL, and with his resumé I'd assume there would be serious interest in him across the NRL and obviously Rugby. Why would he re-sign if we say...

Just watched the highlights of the younger Large, I knew he could run but surprised by how strong he is defensively.

Are you sure? Trial game against the Sharks this Saturday. Word was final squads would be named after that

I'm interested in where the 600k figure comes from? Telegraph reported his salary as 425k this year in the first year of his extension. Cant imagine it rising 175k over the next 3 years

Holbrook said he had a knee injury hence why he didn't play Pacific Champs end of the year. 100% PNG pick him if he is not injured. Not sure Id believe internet rumour over that

So what are the chances for each of our junior rep teams this year? Both Wests teams look pretty strong. Don't know much about the Balmain teams. The Wests Matts should have a good chance to follow the team from 2 years ago. I hear the prop from Penrith, Moors is looking good. I assume all the...

Looking at Laui, Fainu and Sullivan, Id guess the Storm have that much tied up in Munster, Hughes, Pezet and Penrith in Cleary, Laui and Schneider. It seems pretty normal for the top squads. Manly would be well over that with Daly, Brooks and Schuster.

Galvin reminds me of a young Ryan Matterson. He was a pretty dominant 6 until the end of 20s. I think he could be an exceptional ball playing/link 13 once he fully matures in the Yeo mould. I honestly believe Large will develop into the best of the Fainu/Galvin/Large trio. Quicker, better ball...

I think this will be the thing. Players who are dominant junior halves (like Fainu, Galvin and Large), given the shortage in the NRL, will most likely have multiple opportunities at other clubs. Positional changes may not satisfy both them and their agents (apparently the reason Galvin wants...

It's interesting, we are so stocked at 6 right now, and thats assuming Laui comes to play 7. I'd be surprised if Onitoni stays with the rugby interest an no doubt from other clubs given the lack of halves in the game. Galvin has already been agitating for a release. Richardson himself said...

pretty sure that us Makasini.
