I hope HBG try to re-establish the Magpies as that will be the trigger for the NRL to revoke their license and take control of the club. The NRL will never allow the return of the Magpies or Balmain. How HBG still operate with the muppets they have is beyond me. Taking Balmain away will remove...

No. Would you take career advice from a 20 year old?

Played better than Patrick Herbert last year, and there are plenty who believe that’s a good Cup signing? Very strange decision to not keep Naden on a cup contract and instead go for a guy who hasn’t played for 3 years and has a poor injury history. Even stranger that the young guys like...

Wouldn’t read into that at all. Richo isn’t going to come out and tell the media, rival teams etc who he is targeting. He’s smarter than that. Keeps the attention off us and on others.

I doubt we will carry 3 props on the bench as I expect either Latu or Doueihi will be on the bench and come on at 13 and take those minutes. I also prefer Terrell and Pole as a tandem, and Twal and Royce as a tandem. One worker (Terrell and Twal) and one hard runner (Pole and Hunt) each on at...

You would also hope/assume Sione and Pole make significant progress over the next year given their age and experience level. They’re getting into the years where props start to make that jump to the next level. Assuming this happens Terrell, Pole and Sione have the potential to be a top level...

Would be great as a 13. Covers backrow and front row also. All depends on price really.

Herbert wasn't up to NRL standard 3 years ago, hence why he was released by the Titans and not picked up by any NRL teams. If we think that a guy who wasnt up to standard 3 years ago and hasn't played since is pushing for a NRL spot, we are in serious serious trouble.

They were all un-signed at the end of the season so would have been available to sign T&T contracts. Herbert seems a waste to me. Theres the point that we can sign as many T&T players, however I would hope that Herbert isn't prioritised over the development of Max Taotua or Tino Tavana...

When was that, 3 years ago? Think it’s a wasted T&T spot for an injury prone player who was never crash hot and hasn’t played in 3 years. Would have preferred other guys who were available like Tui’tupou, Jake Tago, Haze Dunster, Smith-Sheilds, Tony Francis and some others from Super League...

Not he is not. Not even close Herbert hasn’t played in a professional team in years. He never played in the super league. He was retired and playing park football I believe. Mapalangi was one of our better players in cup last year. I really hope this is a Ron Massey Cup signing.

I believe it was reported that it was actually 500k a season... Well thats what the DT and Codes Sport reported the figure as, and I highly highly doubt they would under quote a Tigers player salary.

We would have more cap space than most other clubs. Code Sports published the top 100 paid players in the game (600k and above) not long ago, and we only had 4 which was equal least in the entire NRL. Of those 4 only 1 (Luai) was in the top 50. Of course some players like Taylan, Api etc...

Easily. We still have plenty of cap space in 2026 (Richo said as much in his BTR interview). Keaon would be for 2027 which we would have even more cap space for.

It’s funny, plenty on here are excited by Ethan Roberts even though he had a poor year this year and went from the verge of NRL to finishing the year in Flegg. Yet Saukuru made some huge strides last year after moving to second row. One of our best in Flegg after the move and has improved...

What changes from that game? Skelton, Taylan May and Makasini come in... That's literally half of the outside backs.

Kautoga and Tuilagi are massive defensive liabilities. Parra are not as far ahead as people think. An easy draw to end the season and big win against a lifeless Newcastle masked over a few of their issues. Their backrowers are poor defensively and don't have much go forward through the middle...

Said it a month a go. Bula will stay, Moses is just trying to get his own pay day, hence all these articles in the media. Moses is using the media to put pressure on the club to give him the deal he wants/more money.

They’re friends but not best friends. Bula is very very close with Pole. Groomsman at his wedding.

Its also important to note that Bula is on the same timeline as our squad... We have the youngest team in the competition. Jahream is 3-4 years away from his peak. Another year or two with Api, Jahrome and Latu/Doueihi will only help him develop into an elite players. He's absolutely worth...
