Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

you cannot play sione fainu as a 13.... he's not event close to a lock.

I think he's skilfull enough time play anywhere in the pack.

High ceiling too.

Luai, May, Turuva, Bird, - looks like pretty decent recruitment drive from where I sit. Plenty of room for improvement from some of the younger guys and the older guys will no doubt be looking forward to the inclusion of proven FG standard players.

 

[Demps]

i know -- but would still like to move Olam and AD now.

If we did that for a gun center we would be top 8.

We need a gun center and a lock/second row.

and we're good.

Taylan May
Kobe Herherington
🤞

And Timmy Johannsen could be anything.

He needs to play prop or SR imo.
It'll hurt his development if we play him as a makeshift 13.

Wouldn't underestimate the role of the Benji ethos in this recruitment either. His laid back "there's more to football" approach would have been chalk and cheese to Flanno's pitch.

It's interesting that we've got a bunch of guys who can play 13 but aren't a 13.

Been this way for years too.

I honestly believe there is a world where having the 3 May brothers at the Tigers in 2026 is very possible.

They have all said, at different stages, how they would like to play together.

The stars might align for 2026, with plenty of roster spots open at the club.

Sione played some lock through the grades and was good there.

He's actually perfect suited to lock considering how good his footwork at the line is, leg speed and his ball playing ability. He just needs to work on fitness so he can play big minutes there.

You could play him in the second row & have Seyfarth play #13.

Not every #13 has to play like Yeo.

looks like Richo has lost weight 👍

As a 62 year old long suffering fan, a few years ago I promised myself that I'd stop getting all excited at a few off season signings. No matter how well I knew the names. Get all carried away in November, and be heartbroken again in May.
I absolutely promised myself I'd NEVER fall for the inevitable false hope again. Never.
50+ years bar one is too much for one man to be subjected to.
But seriously, how good do we look for next season ? 🤣

 

[Garrry]

Like I've said when wests tigers signed RICHO, he'll be the best signing the club has made, RICHO will fix our roster and salary cap.

Over to you BENJI

6 out of the 17 players on a game day could be brothers… that would have to be some kind of record lol

Maybe a shout for Batemans/Porters edge

The Mortimer & Hughes brothers at the Bulldogs did it back in the 80s

Very rare though.

Hopefully I’ll now finally be able to update my 2011 finals shirt 🙏🏻

 

[madgey76]

Quick question now because the rorters told him he was free to go and already under contract to them do they have to chip in for mays contract for the next 2 years which is remaining on his rorters deal or the just pay out a value to may and release him

 

[Tigerdave]

Yeah, that's wow.

I, like many others here, don't want to get too excited, but the squad is looking a lot better.
