good player I'd keep Joey L and let Roberts go he is cooked

Roberts hasn’t had any ball at all and is below min contract. BJ won’t ever be cheap and has had 1 good game for us and 30 terrible games. People have short memories. If BJ plays the rest of the season as a player of his skill/talent should then look at keeping him but he hasn’t done anything to warrant us to even think about it yet.

I wouldn’t trust BJ as far as I could throw him. He’s only playing well to earn himself a 3-4 year retirement package then he’ll phone it in again and get on the oportos.

If we DID sign him, it should be heavily performance based on a much cheaper 1 year deal

Don't write him off yet, hasn't got any good ball.

Nah he’s cooked mate ..
Burnt to a crisp

You may well be right, but i'd like to see him get some decent early ball before I completely write him off.
 
I've seen enough to know that Roberts is done as an NRL player. We should send him to Wigan and get Gildart here asap. Roberts is probably good enough to still mess up the Super League.

I'm guessing that means that Jimmy the Jet will be leaving on a jet plane .....

I think that Jimmy has had his NRL days.

Welcome good news. Might even help silence some of the fools in the Murdoch press heaping abuse on WT and calling for our demise. Time will tell how the young man goes in the NRL. He appears to have plenty of ability. Might even inspire Joey to uncork one of his old wrecking ball centre performances this week against the Knights.

Big Joey with his strength and Gildart with his speed and sidestepping would be great centre combination.
 
Not much that he will be able to do without quality ball unfortunately. Adam Reynolds should be priority number 1.

This has been a long time coming.

He's fast.
Hopefully he kills it.
Not another Greg Eden 2.0

We need some backs.
Hopefully we can jag a few more.

Love to see Korobete come back.

Pretty sure Koro dissed the club on social media earlier this year. He ain't coming back.

Yep, think it was when that premium-priced potato Ryan O'Hara was smashing WT about something (could of been the Aloiai soap opera?).

The meme during Brook's 150th not being able to break through the banner. Koro commented saying it summed up the Tigers season then began getting into arguments with fans who defended the club that gave him a shot. "I have 5 NRL teams who want me back" I believe is what he said. No chance he's coming here.

Natural talent.. He's a Wigan lad, he was born to play, just like his dad. Here's a small compilation of him from 2019.

Thanks for that clip mate. Very wary of a highlights package (John Grant, shudder) but he looks to be a talented kid. Footy smarts and pace, great stuff. Hopefully for us he is more Andy Currier than Joe Burgess.

Well, he looks quick. Something we lack?
 
Neither of our existing main centres- BJ & Roberts- have done enough to earn another contract at this stage. Maybe if they get it together for rest of season can give them a further year but thats it. I'd be planning for new centre paring - Gildart and Talau would do me for starters.

Gilly has said all along he'd like to test himself in the NRL.
Welcome champ.

I hope WT can provide that testing environment in terms of games and learning, not endurance of bad performances and weird selections.
 
Better have Oliver's wife/partner flown over to confirm the digs. Oliver won't be able to perform without things on the Homefront being outstanding. But with what's happening in the UK, Aust is a good option. I hope he goes well in the tradition of the other good UK players at Balmain and Wests.
 
Like it or not we are on the nose with established NRL players, thinking overseas or outside the box is our best bet. Any fringe all black forwards who can tackle available??
 
Our Next Schofield or Currier on the way great to see us exploring high class players from U.K. at the right price I hope
