Its reportedly 1.2mil over 3 years so 400k a season.

even still, Dogs' cap is in excellent shape.

Hopefully;

1 Taylan
2 KPP
3 Hetherington

Has a long look at a potential top 30 for next year.

We definitely need a backup half.
We can't rely on AD to do that role.

Unless Sullivan is coming back (I don't think he will) ... we need an option.

Tyrone May could be that guy.
All three May bros at the club.

Latu is the guy moving forward.

Latu is(was)the chosen one,but needs to deliver on the field and stay out of rehab
No reason why he cant be as good as Galvin
Bud interesting..if he does gr8,Bennet will buy him...if hes mediocre,,,its return to sender!

That’s been my thinking too. After Madge kept Kobe at the Broncos I’ve been surprised he hasn’t been resigned yet and no whispers about a contract. Which is our current way of doing things.

Richo said in the podcast we are announcing 2 or 3 external signings in the next 3 weeks… wonder who

With those guys you have 2 of Sione, Twal or Seyfarth not in the best 17 which is a massive improvement to depth. Likewise the same for on existing outside back, although a few of them are off contract (Doueihi and Naden). Frankly I'm fine with faatape as 3rd centre and Luke as 3rd winger as long as the pack is stronger and the spine gets extended game time together.

keep in mind what Richardson said about having money ready to take advantage of cap squeezes at other clubs. I think you'll find that's where a few of these signings will come from.

Knights and broncos would be the teams we sign from I think

A lot of it is “outside the cap”.

We just need guys who can hold their own in defense and don’t get bullied at the ruck. We have enough classy guys.

I agree. I don't mind the idea of KPP on sensible money. His skillset adds another dimension to our pack. However, I'd prefer an axe murderer of a 2nd rower. Someone who charges onto the ball at speed, hits gaps, & bashes the opposition in defence. Our pack is a little bit one speed. I like the look of Halasima? at the Warriors but I'd settle for Liam Martin.

Prehaps Noah Martin may be who your after?

Haha. Don't know anything about him. Just looked him up. He's def got the head for it!

Can't stand the Dogs but the current squad is a masterclass in squad building and cap management.

I'll do my best with your KPP comment. He is 6ft 6inches, is mobile and can unload a ball in traffic. He is a great athlete, and his build is unique especially if he lands at WTs. We know he is relatively inexperienced; the team are not familiar with his game and therefore don't know how to use him to their advantage. Their halves are not playing well so he doesn't get ball except in the last few minutes of that game when he created a try and nearly a second. I believe he has great potential and would fit in with the profile of player we want at WTs.

Thanks P&C I have seen all that as well but my feeling stands. You believe he has potential and if lands here i hope your correct.

If that’s the case who would you pick as the 2 in the team, personally I’d go with done and seyfarth as done had the most impact and seyfarth can cover back row and middle

you're a smart man, 118.

Tough choice, all 3 have pros and cons. Sione for impact is my personal choice out of the 3, but Seyfarth can do a job in the middle or edge. Twal is my favourite in some ways but the hardest to make an objective case for if you sign Hethrington at 13.

 

[Needaname]

There’s 3 at the raiders, two are brothers, I’m pretty certain the one I’m talking about is the hard, line running backrower.

 

[Telltails]

With another new team to be introduced then the raiding of clubs is going to continue. And not a peep from the NRL.
It disenfranchises the fans.
How on earth they think with the additional travelling and the already lack of decent/ quality players available - another two teams is going to be good for the game?
PNG WA added to NTh QLD and NZ the travelling demands week to week - it's nuts from where I stand.

I’ve seen nothing like 750K form from KPP. That’s probably why he’s available.

As an old Balmain supporter, if it's all been funded by the Magpies side of the joint venture then why should Balmain have a team. If Balmain wanted a team, they should've run things better and not got themselves in the position they ended up in

I'm not appealing for a Balmain side, I am and for last 25 years am calling for the West Tigers to be exactly that, the West Tigers.

Don't see why there should be anything other than that.

Being an original Balmain Tiger Supporter, from the day of amalgamation, I became a West Tiger Supporter and have been ever since, And I never watched the Balmain reserve grade again after the joint venture happened, and if it ever became solely the Magpies that would be the end of my Supporter days.

And I dare say, quite a lot of West Tiger Supporters would definitely not support the Magpies.
