Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

My mail last night also stated that Olakua’tua will not enter free agency and will most likely be signed by Manly before that as they’re offering a crazy amount of money over a crazy amount of years.

The next morning he gets announced for a 8 year $8 million you failed to mention that bit.

I’m not even gonna reply to your thoughts on me claiming Luai is remaining at Penrith - I’ve made it clear in previous posts that I’m not stating that.

Constantly taking a crack at my credibility as a poster does get tiring even ignoring you doesn’t seem to work - I’m sure you forgot before both the Luai and Olam links were made public who shared it on this forum that we were after them (if you go back further enough you’ll see it was me) I’ve never wanted to be that guy to defend myself or what I hear but when I’m consistently targeted for being a liar, I gotta pull out the receipts. I won’t even begin to mention other times but I’ll just leave it at that.

This will be my last message directed at you. Happy holidays.

Ref Blore .. has been a lazy trainer, even when injured his recovery period was extended due to him being lazy .. one good game hitting Slimey Eels players doesnt mean he's gonna have a good season .. he's gotta be more consistent in defence .. not just one big hit in a season.

Storm are being crafty .. at first they were open to trading Blore for the "out of favour" at the Storm Olam .. but they wanted us to pay the majority of Blore's contract for next season .. NOW .. Storm have signed Blore, they are now reluctant to release Olam .. ?? Here's hoping things worked out for all parties involved .. the next 10 days will be interesting to see if we allow Blore to go .. or if we are able to convince him to stay. I still have hope that Olam will come to us.

Our problem is .. Blore knows we are thinking of playing him up the middle (prop) .. not out wide (back rower) where he likes to run .. and that Benji likes and is thinking of playing big Samuela Fainu and Chris Faagutu as backrowers ahead of him .. !!

Fantastic update. I am glad the WTs are playing hardball with the Storm. It is great also that Marshall has Fainu and Fa'agutu in his thoughts.

Thanks for the info @The-moP , is that mail about Faagutu playing on an edge as he mentioned in the club podcast that is the one position he has never played?

Fa'agutu as a backrower is intriguing. one of the better judges on here from SEQ (@iofthetigers) actually said he's better suited to the edge. if he does end up doing well there it will help us considerably, especially if there's a possibility Papali'i does get swapped for AFB. will give us some options.

I never claimed I wouldn’t reply to him until that post, but you’re right it’s not worth - it has been deleted.

Not sure what you’re referring to when you say bad scoops and being all over the place - I don’t want to be that poster that comes on every 4 months and drop some info then ignores everyone until my next post like some others before me. I actually like participating in discussions and being apart of this community cause I like most of us have a passion and love for this club to be successful. If I ever hear anything which isn’t that often I’ll share.

However, I do have respect for those fellow posters who have been on this forum longer than myself. And I’ve been on this platform for 8-9 years. So I’ll take your comments into account.

The Wests Tigers are the first club in the four-way race for Addin Fonua-Blake’s signature to make a formal offer to the New Zealand Warriors forward.

It’s believed the Tigers have tabled a four year deal from 2025 worth around $1 million per season.

I seem to remember you were just a normal poster once upon a time. Now you get the occasional bit of info, i reckon you should just post as you used to post. I think most appreciate any tidbits along the way that you hear. Like anyone some are right some may be wrong who cares, as long as you enjoy posting your opinions i would keep doing it. No matter who you are or what you post there's the potential to rub someone up the wrong way, so your dammed if you do or don't so just do. Just my 2 cents anyway its a forum for people to post opinions.
