Hopefully that's the case

If Onitoni moves through the pathways as a fullback all the way up to cup then you’d have to assume that Jahream probably moves to centre to accomodate, which to be fair is his junior position. I’m starting to notice a trend that a lot of juniors want that fullback position for some reason (maybe money) but there’s not doubt Large will flourish there.

As for Heamasi Makasini I can’t say I see him as a wing nor would the club judging by his performances this year. The likely reasoning for that position is just to fit him in as they had to drop Xavier Tauaifuaiga so I wouldn’t read too deeply in it. It’s a clear sign that these boys are hopefully in for the ride.

I reckon if John Sutton is not in Bennett's plans, he will be at the Tigers in some capacity! Richo loves him.

Connection with Benji at souths too

And yet after Pole and Fainu he would be a top 3 forward at our club. Thats how soft and pathetic our current forwards are. Hes a miles upgrade on the current shit that wears our jersey.

Get it done Richo

Not sure about that

He's an untried player at NRL level, hasn't set the world on fire in the games he's played and has a limited skill set - what's the big deal ? Because the media put some label on him doesn't make it so and maybe the Tigers were of the opinion he just wasn't suited to the Tigers happens in every club. You can't "swap" players if there's no players who want to play for your team.

Don’t agree, he’s had limited time through injury plus being his first year at the club. Let’s just keep getting burnout garden gnomes cause that’s working for us, isn’t it?? He’s costing us very little he has more upside than most, no point getting rid of him.

Yeah I reckon we could use our Dev and T&T contracts better for our advantage.

Good.

Is this a source or Facebook rumour mate? Personally I think he would be a decent bench player

 

[Wildcat777]

Is this old too??

Another Wests Tigers outside back set to depart for rival

He spent time with the NRL squad over the summer.

Yes was reading about this here a little while ago.

Sutto is Souths through and through , Benny will have room for him rest assured

Can't see John Sutton being forced out of Souths. Wayne Bennett is way too smart to punt somone like him. John Sutton is as much South Sydney as George Piggins, Clive Churchill, John Sattler, etc.
It would be like us punting Benj...oh wait...we did that twice already

It is a very good Chinese Restaurant.
Gus gives out fortune cookies.

Do they all say "No, No, No, No, No" ?

 

[SwervinMervin]

Don’t know if this sounds misogynistic but if they were hyping us up with a women’s team signing that’ll do me. Surely common sense would prevail in that it’s not something worth hyping the fans up about. But maybe I’m wrong, maybe everyone here was actually wanting/expecting a NRLW signing.

If they're a middle they might get a start in the NRL squad...

little rumour I've heard is Sam Walker is very tempted to join the Brisbane Broncos from 2026 onwards, to take over from Adam Reynolds and pair with Ezra Mam

Via Miksrl on Insta. She has good sources & often gets rumours right. She did comment that it’s ‘whispers’ & not verified.

Yes I’ve heard that. I think the Levels boys said it a while back.
