Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Should we look at offering Luke Garner another contract? After 2 years in the Penrith system he would be better equiped to be that dependable back rower that can play 80mins on an edge with a bit of strike.

Luke Garner is one of the worst players penrith has played in the last 4 years in their dominant period. Deadset Jaeman Salmon has been far more useful

Me either. He's an above average front rower with potential to be better. A good club would pay him $600k, we shouldn't pay more than $700k to $750k.

There's not a chance that we don't offer him a payrise....!

Bud’s last chance on Saturday.
If he doesn’t step up we need to send him to the UK on a working holiday.

Part paid by the very generous Wests Tigers.

 

[Roar_Power]

I have a weird feeling he's going to be man of the match

That won’t happen.

Second hand but I’ve heard we are offering 5 years 3.8m averaging 760k p.a for Uto. Big money but a fair deal for the player and the club. I have no issues with it tbh. I hope they lock it down we need to retain core younger players to build the squad over the long term. If we are any chance these younger players have to stay together.

That would be a sensational deal for us if true.

What's the best email address to ask these boofheads at weststigers for some info on lower grade injuries eg Ngutlic

LOL

No-one at Wests Tigers would know that information and even if they did they sadly wouldn't ever share it with the public.

WT hate providing content for it's members.

More chance of pigs flying than Stef re-signing with us for anything under 850k per season.

It's just about right

Just imagine Tigers snagged David Fafita like they did with the Panthers winger..
Media would go off their head.... Would be very funny and love to see it

Sadly i think we've already got our marquee player i can't see us getting another. Also if he leaves the GC he's going for rings which we aren't for the foreseeable.

Just saw that BRYDENS Lawyers have advised they are not renewing their sponsorship for 2025.

Our Jersey sales next year will skyrocket

 

[tigerballs]

we already have one of those....Sezer....very similar to O'Sullivan...bog average

I think you'll see what bog average really is on Saturday

 

[tigerbenji]

Didn't known where to put this but Fifita has signed with the Chooks.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Good luck to him. Doesn't help us.

 

[Needaname]

I actually think Sitili Tupouniua & Toby Rudolf are realistic.

Sili especially if the iPap move to lock is a success to sure up our senior backrow stocks.

Rudolf given Sharks will have too many middles next year with AFB coming & he would relieve cap space. He is also managed by Richo's son's company.

Yep. Time to get our recruiters into the teeth of the Sharks (middle) and Roosters (edge) to find the likely player surplus to demands.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

With what funds?

Egan Butcher would be my pick of Roosters edges.

Sorry but how much do you think we are spending next year? Do the math on every player. We are well under the cap... Spots 20-28 are all basically min wage too.

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Panthers were happy with him as their back up.
The point is we need a back up halfback who can play NRL and give us every chance of winning games.
Let’s see how Sullivan goes this week, but if he doesn’t step up and play well, it would be no long flogging a dead horse any longer,

Panthers were very happy with Cogger too, where is he now at Newie?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

fifita 3.3 million over 4 years...no way we should be paying Stef 900k if true
