Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[88]

Shane Richardson shook the tree and out fell an elite front rower that we can build our pack around.

we just replaced Stefano with a better player for $150k less. incredible business.

Richo has been clear that patience is the key with waiting for the right player to become available at the right time. I know it’s hard when we are always so looking for a signing, but this approach is so refreshing compared to the last regime where we were more likely to panic sign someone.

Terrell May signs three-year deal with Wests Tigers

The Tigers have edged out St George Illawarra for May’s services on a lucrative three-year deal that will see him remain at the joint venture club until at least the end of 2027.

Lucky we didn't sack Richo, dodged a bullet there

Think either Twal or Klemmer play reserve grade (probably Twal). Much depends on Bateman too

8) May
10) Pole
13) Fainu

15) Twal/Klemmer
16) Hunt
17) Bird

Agree that I think we have to split Pole and Hunt in terms of their stints. Possibly too much of a defensive liability if both on together despite what they both offer in impact.

Pair them with a steady reliable prop in their time on the field and hopefully another point of difference option at 13 for some variety in the pack no matter which stint.

My wallet has lost patience. And im not even a doctor.

But Bateman could be his best witnh hard edge forwards. Free him up a bit.

That's what I was said - not keen to pay to have him playing elsewhere and that he could be part of the mix. Sorry if it was confusing. Cheers

Now that we have May, not convinced that we need to sign Sione unless he's seen as a lock. Second row is more of a concern.

 

[Lestronge]

Here is my predicted best 17

1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. Olam
4. ???
5. Skelton
6. Galvin
7. Luai
8. Klemmer
9. Api
10. May
11. S.Fainu
12. Bateman
13. Bird
14. L.Fainu
15. Twal
16. Pole
17. Hunt

It will be Turuva in the centres I think with Luke Lualiii on the wing

Lol where's @bptiger 0 who said Richo's got to go & that he's done nothing.

He is a special one, but he is by no means a lone ranger there

Really depends on if we can move Bateman on.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

For you. I have little concerns talking about rich kids. Its the poor kids we should be more concerned about if at all.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking/hoping...

Anyone else notice that the Terrell May email and website says:

“An NRL playing contract will be signed in due course”

Makes me think that we don’t have the roster spots and that the Miller and Faagutu contract releases have not formally been approved by the NRL yet…

Miller's legal action is likely the hold up

Just pay your membership. They dont care what you think. Sorry to be honest. But. Life is short. Show us the money.

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

Canterbury had 3 Hughes and 3 Mortimer brothers in the same team back in the late 70's early 80's
