Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

A few things richos English visit appears to have been about buying super league from his recent pods.
Kpp would be a real.solod addition young hungry and constantly good.
After watching hetherington I really don't see the hype tbh he is your stock workman and I don't think he is great at that. 40 mins a game 80 average run meters

Doesn’t make sense from our perspective either. We have 3 available spots in top 30 for this year, possibly 4. Plenty of cap room, he wouldn’t be on anything at all and we are slim on forwards

How does it make sense to let him go immediately unless we have someone in return?

Please let’s not talk about bringing past players like Hastings or Matterson back to the club- we need to move forward not backward. These guys weren’t great when they were here last time and haven’t been since they left, so why would we want them

Matterson was good, sometimes really good but injured for quite a bit of the season, I think. Hastings was fine but not for the starring role we bought him for. He must be a weird personality because he's never gotten along anywhere he played.

This!

Parramatta have the worst forward pack in the comp and he cant even get a look in... He's on 800k and even at a discounted rate, this isn't the standard we should be even be considering.

He isn't better than anyone in our best 17, and even as a cup signing he would be on 500k+ (assuming 300k is subsidised by Parra).

It would be the biggest backwards step we could make. Not worth the money, shown he's not a team player, disrespected the club in the past and is not a cultural or game style fit. This should not even be mentioned again. Let Parra waste 800k on their cap on him this year and next and continue on our own path.

I agree the comp is still lopsided and the reserve grade is no different , not enough good talent to cover all teams and make them all competitive , 2 more teams is a lot of players most likely 60 more guys required , the NRL should focus on trying to make all teams even and also fix up the huge inconsistency in the refs , these sin bins and penalty issues plus that stupid bell for 6 more is rubbish .
If a team is off side and that bell rings should be a warning , 2 nd time bin a player , it will keep them on side .
Same for the play the ball , yesterday in Manly vPenrith there must have been 20 times players just rolled it under there legs with no attempt to use the foot , couple weeks ago penalty , yesterday nothing

Would be a great signing. Can play centre, wing and fullback.

Very damaging player when he's on but to be fair, does sometimes have off weeks. Seems like a confidence player so maybe Benji is the guy to help him with that.

Get him at the right price and he'd be great.
 
If the club lets TDS go to market you can bet your bottom dollar he ends up at parra, easy solution to the situation would be to swap api and TDS roles around sign TDS for 5 years and Api for 2 with the final year in the clubs favour, sounds simple but weather it happens who knows, api has been nothing but brilliant but we got to keep our best juniors and TDS is 1 off them.

The impending exit of boom five-eighth Lachlan Galvin has rocked the Wests Tigers.
After playing a key role in the Western Suburbs Magpies grand final victory in Harold Matthews (under 17’s) two years ago, Galvin was viewed as the future at the Concord club.

Coach Benji Marshall has an immediate solution to remedy Galvin’s exit in rising rookie Latu Fainu, who is waiting in the wings to wear the no. 6 jumper alongside Jarome Luai in the halves.


But as a development club, the loss of Galvin, a Campbelltown junior, is a huge blow to the Tigers.

So, who is the new jewel in the crown of the club’s junior representative pathways?

Heamasi Makasini might not be a playmaker but the barnstorming centre is a prodigious teenage talent like Galvin.

One of the most sought after league and union prospects in the country, Makasini will turn 18 this year making him eligible for an NRL debut.

In the fullback ranks excitement is building at Concord about the youngster being compared to Storm superstar Ryan Papenhuyzen – the Tigers junior who slipped through the club’s fingers almost 10 years ago.

While generational talents like Galvin are hard to come by, the club has high hopes for a number of young halves impressing through the ranks like Sonny Edwards-Moeke and Marc Tannous.
