You ain’t the only one been saying his spot is centre if he has a go in D. But origin call up is crazy, on ya Loz. 🤪

But if he gets on the field I will be cheering for our turnstile to kill it.

Thats the spirit my son.

Im going on a special ops crusade to make sure he plays. Free beers at camp for those in front of him.

Not only that, he may as well captain the state.

Mysterious head of the Oriental Arm of KAOS.

He has several henchmen employed under him, but his most trusted assistant is Bobo, who performs torture for him.

The Claw is first encountered when he kidnaps Princess Ingrid of Scandinavia during her visit to Washington [Episode #2: "Diplomat's Daughter"]. He is later seen running a chain of Chinese laundries as a front for his information smuggling agency [Episode #25: "The Amazing Harry Hoo:].

Outstanding work, TAHger!!

You are right, we have got a foot in the grave. We have identified the symptoms but not the cause. Identify and address the root cause and I think we can pull the foot out of the grave. If we do identify the cause and choose not to act for cap or HR reasons that is a management issue, if we don't identify the why that is a coaching problem and we can't afford to let that fester.

Fair enough.

Do you have any faith in the review or do you think its a marketing exercise like me?

As for Latu, good to hear hes coming back, but i doubt he is the answer at the moment.

I think we need a lift in existing players.

And on a more positive note, and to give Benji his due, the recovery from the Storm did appear. It was a profound turnaround and he got a lot right.
 
If we hadnt made some kind of form and effort comeback, the sky would have fallen in.

We must be some kind of chance v Panthers.

Kind of grudge match.

No mate. Terrell is a man of his word.

I hope he is angry about missing out on Origin and goes crazy in our next game.

I think Taylan has to be on his way soon. It's an easy win for us for a player that will play above his contract value.

The media stories are coming out now about how he is over his issues and wants to be a good person etc. this is the dance they play to paint the right picture.

There's no way the media writes a story on him if he wasn't about to sign somewhere.

I think so too.

Buttering up the league public for his re-emergence.

A bit like Mam who found out the hard way what ordinary folk think about dangerous driving.

Its a wonder the club let him get into that state in the first place.

People knew he was acting the gangsta, as probably did Taylan's circle.

At least the Panthers knew. Nate was a bit of a gangsta, couldnt get the look though.

While I don't believe the Lomax rumour, he did try to have a Brad Arthur get-out clause in his contract. He 100% would've activated it had it been in his contract. Seems like BA was a big draw card for him going there. He was also a WT fan growing up with Benji being his favourite player 👀

Yea, one of the calls we got wrong was Olam. Which blocked a path here for Lomax.

Had we got Luai + AFB, ok big big ask but say we got both of them punting anyone else in our front row. Then signed Lomax it would be interesting... Lomax definately has defensive issues, but the guy can score.
 
Brent Rwad on Triple M just stated Api’s manager is wanting confirmation if we are re-signing him past 2026 and says he believes we will offer him an extra 2-3 years and says that will likely mean we lose Da Silva, possibly an early release at the end of this year.
Api will be 33 while in the final year of his current contract in 2026, so if we extend him it means we are re-signing him as a 34-36 year old
Ready also thinks we will release Galvin before June 30 this season and does not think we will receive another player in return.
He also mentioned Adam Reynolds clearly wants to remain in Brisbane, that along with his recent dip in form meaning there is not much interest in him from Wests Tigers.
All this being said and done, do we think re-signing Api and losing Da Silva is the right decision? I know Api was great for us again last Sunday, but it’s not his attack that is the problem, he is a target for opposing teams defensively due to his lack of size and that will not get any easier as he gets older. As much as Api has been great for us, I would be prioritising Da Silva and letting an ageing Api sign with the Perth Bears.

He also mentioned he does not think we are all that interested in signing Adam Reynolds, a recent dip in form could be the main reason.

Speculation, Brent.

TDS is home grown talent that we are actually in the process of developing. One of the very few success stories from our pathways. We can’t let him go.
Api was brilliant the other night but that speed will only lessen. His defence will only worsen. If we get another year and a half out of him at that level, I’ll be happy.

It's guaranteed that Ready wouldn't have a clue what's happening at WT. Perhaps only what an agent says.... And of course Api's agent wants to know what the plans for him are. But at his age there's zero chance he gets a 3 year deal. A 2 year deal on less money with the agreement that he transitions towards a bench role as Talyn progresses
