I reckon Fainu will look much better after this injury lay off. Clearly playing with a leg injury of some description.

Agree.

On the Fainus, Sione has improved massively and is pushing for a starting role. It’s funny, I think at the start the club wanted Latu and getting his brothers here was the carrot to get him.

Now Latu is the biggest concern of the 3 with his injury issues.

 

[BAGNF05]

Maybe he has dreams of representing Samoa if he returns to league?!?

He should be right, if it were a sky blue jumper he’d be farked.

Sione was at the club in 2022, toiling away in the lower grades

anyone here know mistymuzzle? haven’t seen him for a bit was hoping still lurking

 

[innsaneink]

Yes, and no.

Look I get it. Cronk was going out of Melbourne and he tried his hand at Easts and succeeded.
DCE hasn't made up his mind yet. Why?

I think we could offer him a wider appeal post football. The networks want ex-tiger players as were a very popular team... Ofcourse I am dreaming a little and unkle nick will slip in some sort of incentive.

Your assuming he hasnt made up his mind... don't be so sure.
No way in gods earth would he come here

Your right, he won't be coming here.

That said, the way he is talking "Ive talked to the Roosters, and not committed" "I have talked to the Dolphins, and not committed"... Man the poor chick he married would have had a nervous breakdown at the proposal.

His new name is smouldering barrel.

 

[Flippedy]

We ain't getting DCE.

Not in a million years.

if we are losing tumeth and matamua also this week, we could get Chad Townsend for rest of year as a backup for latu fainu

Why would we get Chad Townsend?

 

[westtigers]

I think as fans and members we should all now get behind Benji and the club to go forwarw now without the Galvin And moses crap/as fans get a good bunch of great young men and see where we can go .Go WestsTigers

This is a terrible take. Townsend should have retired when he left the Warriors. He was the anchor that sunk the roosters to the bottom end of the table (plus a few notable forward losses). We need to build on the loss of Galvin, not plug a hole for 18 months whilst we continue to be one of the worst 4 teams in the comp.

That’s why I think the Dogs aren’t out of the race despite the denial.

Uh he won a premiership after leaving the Warriors.

Reese Walsh punching on. Punishment is likely to be hit with the latest variant of a wet iceberg lettuce leaf. Yes it is a fresh one and not the one used for Ezra. Discipline is taken seriously at the Broncos.

You missed the bit where he went back 4 years ago cos no one wanted him....
Had a lucky year at the Cows when the rest of them fired, But ole CT7 has been dogshit for years.

Discipline is totally dependent on whether you have the talent to save Maguire's backside.
Punch someone in the head for social media likes, with total disregard to the damage you're doing and it's not a problem if you're a star fullback.
Like a Facebook post and you're a washed up forward and it's see ya later Marty.

Fainu showed potential in that role last year and he’s always looking busted this year. I don’t see KPP being the solution there fwiw.

From the media leaks I think KPP is highly likely though. If it is him that is earmarked it will be about bringing him on and I think a KPP/Luai and Fainu/Fainu combo would be a workable pairing. Sukkar is developing well as a backup and him/Seyfarth in reggies would be reasonable depth. Interesting to see who else is coming as we could do with another prop and an eight. There is always the opportunity to grab a couple of big fellas and transform May into a 13.

I guess is will all depend on the vision for the way we play footy - but it is looking likely that we are heading towards a mobile pack that can play an expansive game.

 

[Born-a-Tiger]

just a thought,

has anyone considered Newcastle not using / liking the halves they have and taking on LG for the remainder of the year until Brown gets there

we take KPP or another required position in the process

maybe just a dumb thought

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Well David Fifita is the most explosive and powerful edge back rower in the game IF and WHEN he is match fit and motivated.
I’ve got my doubts that Benji is the right coach to get the best out of him, but you never know, he may be able to connect with him better than others can ?
It would be a big risk to sign him, but if we had a motivated David Fifita playing for us we are a significantly better team.

He was the most explosive a few years back he hasn’t been for a while now.

Yeah I know. At the time when we signed Sione, there were some negative posts on Twitter saying we’ve managed to sign the worst of 4 Fainus.

Definitely worked in our favour.
