All due respect to the kid, surely this isn’t one of the big announcements Richo was pontificating is it? And the NRLW signings? 🤔

Man, I F hope not you couldn't label that as being exciting, if it is this forum will go into meltdown, wouldn't be surprised if some start calling for Richo's head in disappointment lol the wild swings that happen on here.

That's the second Isaac Moses client to extend this year.

Its clear the issue was the Galvins all along.

Wouldn’t count on it. Isaac’s happy to use the club to get his client an NRL start, and as soon as they are established, regular first graders he shops them to other clubs. We are merely the host organism for his parasitic offspring. His larvae feed on our club until there is nothing left to be gained and once they grow wings they fly off, leaving a stinking corpse behind. For Moses, Wests Tigers is nothing more than an organ donor.

Well it's only the club taking up its option for 2026. At least we're not extending too long for an unproven talent. If he kills it over the next 6 months, then we can extend for longer hopefully.

Good in the fact we are slowly starting to see good improvement in a young emerging back rower with good size and mobility, but the negativity in me says we will again be played by Isaac Moses who would be hoping young Sukkar gets more NRL opportunities while playing with us than he would elsewhere, but will likely be quick to move him if he starts playing well on a regular basis at NRL level.

Sukkar has the final say in what team he plays at…not his agent
 
It should be noted that Sukkar was a club option for 2026 not a player or mutual option.

I would agree he deserves it & provides depth.

But I wonder if it is a bit of an olive branch moment with Richo & Moses to mend the relationship going forward.

Bula is the main player in his stable we want long term.

Goodinet has potential but untested. Plus he has already signed & extended.

They would be talking regularly at present given the Galvin situation...

You could be right, but I’m sure Isaac Moses himself has stated he does not believe Benji Marshall is a good coach, well before it was reportedly coming from Lachie Galvin.
So if it’s true and Isaac Moses doesn’t believe Benji can coach, why would he want any of his clients being coached by Benji unless it was just purely for development before being picked up by a much more high profile club ?

I don't think so....he said they were signings from outside the club.

Very quiet right now. If he manages to sign someone without anything coming out until the announcement I'll be shocked.

This wins post of the week award.
Never a truer word written.
Why would the club continue to entertain any association with this turd?

No that looks to me like the usual Moses trick.

Get the players out who can get big contracts elsewhere, ensure he gets top dollar for the lesser players at the lower clubs.

No one needs to be reminded of Tedesco, Moses, and Woods gone while Brooks stays on $1M where no other club would have matched.

It's true, but if we look at the successful clubs, we are really behind in a lot of areas behind the scenes.

Fans focus on whether the NRL team wins or loses, but there is more that goes into it where we don't compete with the big clubs.

We are spending way less money than other clubs across the board in many areas. If we don't address this, we will never compete consistently.

We will always be treated that way unless we give players the sense that leaving us will not be an upgrade in resources, coaching and conditions.

You reckon? We were promised 3 players a month ago and what he did was sign 3 women's players

I was a big Richo fan at first but that, along with the subsequent handling of the Galvin situation re the release without proper compensation has thrown me off

He's handled it well given the cards dealt.
No doubt the 'bullying' didn't help. Saw a bigger problem with the change in how the team spirit and attitude was and like any jumbo 707 at 40,000 feet dropped the turd out of the sky cause there's no use in holding it.

If HBG don't want to pour the funds in or can't afford to please sell the club to someone who can.
