Recruit training? Role specific training? Further training?
PS I believe Gunnery Sergeant Hartman is no longer with us!
Is this what you had in mind?

It’s a sign he’s not coming back early to lead the way at training.
TIGERS SET TO POACH YOUNG GUN
The Tigers have plenty of good young halves in their ranks and are set to poach another one from the Dragons' junior ranks.Levi Valesini is only 18 but has already played first grade against grown men for Albion Park in the Illawarra league.
The teenager had a ground-breaking year in 2024 - he was named Group 7 under 18 player of the year and also Illawarra South Coast Laurie Daley Cup MVP.
He's in talks with the joint venture and is likely to start next season playing for Wests Magpies in the SG Ball Cup.
"Levi is a real prospect and there has been plenty of interest in him," his manager Pierre Tannous told Wide World of Sports.

his manager is probably trying to get him onto the Tigers gravy train.

With large gone, they may be looking at a Plan C in case Galvin doesn't extend.

Bronco could be 'last piece of the puzzle' for Tigers
One name to monitor this week is Broncos forward Kobe Hetherington, with news the Wests Tigers continue to circle the 25-year-old, who officially became a free agent on Friday.Hetherington is contracted until the end of 2025 but a report earlier in the week claimed five teams were interested in his services after he was given permission to negotiate with other clubs.
New Broncos coach Michael Maguire was quick to try convince Hetherington to stay put, but it sounds like his future may be elsewhere as he looks for a starting role in the NRL.
According to News Corp's Brent Read, the Tigers think Hetherington may be "the last piece of the puzzle" and could know by next week if he will be off to the joint venture as soon as 2025.
"The Tigers have been obviously chasing him pretty hard for next year... he’s sort of the last piece of the puzzle," Brent Read said on Triple M.
"They've had discussions. His manager is actually going to Brisbane next week to meet with Michael Maguire... the Tigers should have an answer on Kobe Hetherington at some point next week on whether he'll join them for the upcoming season."
Tigers star linked to Dragons after Hunt release
Tigers star Adam Doueihi is reportedly being linked to a move to the Dragons after Ben Hunt's release.
That would likely mean Kyle Flanagan shifts to halfback with Doueihi slotting in at five-eighth.
The Daily Telegraph's Michael Carayannis revealed the update on Doueihi's future on SEN radio.
“It’s not a done deal yet,” Carayannis said on Doueihi’s rumoured move to the Dragons.
“With everything that has happened with Hunt, the Dragons will take a moment now just to scour the open market.
“The name’s that have been linked are Lachlan Ilias and Doueihi. Those are the names that are at the top of the list for 2025.
“For 2026 and beyond, Daniel Atkinson from the Cronulla Sharks is at the top of the list for the Dragons.”
No relation.... I think.

he’s already in our SG Ball Summer Squad.
given we’ve lost a stack of halves (Isdale, Large, Black) we’ve had to recruit.
Sonny Edwards-Moecke will likely play 5/8, but we’ve got a stack of guys trialling over the summer. Valesini is one of them, and there’s a couple others below.
Cooper Carr (North Sydney Half)
Kade Curtis & Sam Lynch (Winston Hills pairing)
Caine Johnstone (Penrith Comp)
Matthew Lucas (Local silver div half)

We're just going to magically get better lol....Its going to take a few years and a lot of hard work and luck
That's what you'll notice about the Panthers: they brought through all those fantastic players like Cleary and Yeo, then they decided enough was enough on the prospects and not to bother having any more. That's why they won that one premiership then faded away when players started moving on - there wasn't anyone coming through to fill the gaps.

I mean we’ve signed all of these players and better would be anything that’s not dead last so the few years argument doesn’t really work. If that team plus potentially Hethrington finishes last again, well I don’t think I have to continue

A 1000 piece jigsaw with only 994 pieces.
Always ends well...
Would've hoped there'll be a few more pieces than just KH

So this puzzle thats missing one last piece is a picture of not dead last?
We aim for the sky lmfao.....
Yes we require more talent, thats not a debate. The last piece to the puzzle of returning to finals football however, lies within the coaching setup.
And where are these superstars?
