Surely this is a gee up?! What a waste of money.

One game this season for a very average club & with very suspect defence - no thanks.

He’s not playing first grade at Red Hill for a reason - steer well clear of him or we will just keep making the same poor decisions.

Regardless of whether Nofa leaves, we do not want nor need Mansour. What a waste of time and money. I’d rather use AJ, Hoffman or any of our other juniors than commit to a bloke who is well past his prime and just chewing up a spot. The money saved can be used to attract other marquee players...

I’m happy to see him also & wish him the very best. We should not be relying on 2 unproven players though for the whole season - we’re in trouble if that’s our mindset.

Agree Russell - you’d think they might let us know but they did do the same with NRL. They should be announcing the squad soon I’d say. Not many left from 2019 apparently - probably none.

These boys have been training extremely hard this off-season. Let’s hope the season goes ahead this time. https://www.weststigers.com.au/news/2020/12/21/jersey-flegg-young-guns-ready-to-return/

That’s encouraging to hear. If it were close to home would it matter? The players would get an opportunity elsewhere. As a Tigers supporter it is frustrating if we lose players we want to keep but haven’t kept in contact. Some of these include SG Ball and JF that have won player awards in...

Under 21s comp for 2021 soon to be announced. I have it on good authority some of our younger players are being targeted by other clubs. They are on the front foot it seems. Very frustrating!

On this very occasion I disagree with you @pawsandclaws1 . I read the reason he wants to leave because he doesn't like the travel? That's soft and he should have worked that out before he signed with the Dragons. Not only that his tackling needs a lot of work. I'm sorry but surely the powers...

Yes agree but given our record signing people who are prone to getting out of their contracts early in the past (when we didn't want them to - it seems he has been trying to get out of his?) and the fact that St George aren't pushing him for first grade, I can't really say this gives me great...

I hope you're right and having seen his defence he's going to need it. There's more to wing than just size. Not saying he can't develop but at 20 years of age (he is almost 20), you should have worked most of those things out by then. If we do get him, then let's hope Madge can turn him into a...

I think we have a lot of fine prospects and it's a matter of how patient we can be as in reality, a season has been lost and these guys are only 19 & 20. Kei is the most likely from what I've seen. I do find it bemusing when people go on about size on this forum for wingers. Nofu and even Josh...

We do have Nofo on one wing who despite what some say on this forum is up there with speed. I'm not sure about Hoffman's agility but I imagine it would be pretty good. This would be a reasonable pair for the flanks this weekend and Tommy needs to be in the centres which is his best spot. As...

Kei looks an exciting prospect to me. Don't see Hoffman, Cini, Talau or Johns as a winger. Cini, Talau and Hoffman junior reps but all centres imo. Bradley & Scolari have had only one season - there is little prospect of them getting any further chances to push their case this year although...

Tommy's a gun - we need to get him in there somehow. He will be a weapon next year so some more experience this year will help as we rebuild.

Have watched plenty of Talau and while he has the size he is not a winger and definitely not on the left edge. His great strength is to attract several players and unload. Right centre is his spot and we'll just have to get in the market to find a decent winger for 2021. Not a big fan of...

Agree with your sentiments. A lot of good young players who won't be getting the normal development but at least Bradley, Madden & Cini (all development players) will get to train with the squad so that is something. The others are going to be at least 12 months behind but they will just have...

Let's see if they announce it today but that is what they were expecting. I'm afraid it could have huge implications for our juniors as many may now be squeezed out with a drop in available dollars and player pools at NRL levels brought on by COVID.

I'm hearing from a player manager that an announcement was expected today regarding the structure of the competitions for 2021 including potential changes to Top 30 number, Canterbury Cup & Jersey Flegg. This will have a huge impact on player rosters so I would expect a lot of movement on the...
