You paint a funny image though, Richo punching through bags of KitKats waiting for the phone to ring.

Had the quality of signings he made last year not happened, I'd be real worried. After what he brought in last year I'm not one bit. Just want to know who he's bringing in.

I reckon he’d be more of a Favourites box kind of cat.

Possibly , however if kept inhouse which it seems to be it will only be speculation.
I like many on the forum want to see some good signings given we have lost plenty of players with few in return.
Some of the suggestions from Demps earlier which gives us depth and hopefully players that want to play for us are what I believe is where we will be, not the David Fifita big name players even though that would be great and what we need
Whilst we have until June 30 to have the squad finalised I believe players like Galvin will still count as part of the squad numbers even though he has left.
Tyrone May - he'd make a "good" utility. He was a part of a grand final winning team just a few years ago. Toiling away in super league. I could see him being a Kurt Mann type player, which would benefit us.
Taylan May - uniting the trio brothers. This would be great for training and Taylan strengthens a weakness we have. Has that sort of mongrel we kind of lack in the backs. We've seen how the Fainu bros love being at the same club. The May bros would really benefit us, brotherhood is something special.
Suli Pole - Fonuas brother. Come join the pack lad. He's only young, so we can develop him in the lower grades & hope for the best. Good prospect.
Kai Pearce-Paul - it's all been said, he's being mis used at Newcastle. He would be a dynamic option in our backrow and I could see his attacking skills really opening up at the Tigers. Get the deal done.
Krystian Mapapalangi - this will be your next favourite player. 1 to 6, he can cover it all. He should be elevated to top 30 and fill in when needed, however I could see him making a centre position his own. The kid is a very talented player. Otherwise he's an upgrade on our centre depth, with some likely departing.
Harrison "Harry" Hassett - those who watch the lower grades will know the name. Played first grade the other week at the Panthers and scored a try. Looks like a promising prospect and will strengthen our backrow depth. Good bench option & won't break the bank.
Lazarus Vaalepu - Samoan prop in the Melbourne system. Off contract. Big lad and we need some props badly. Very handy player that would fit in within what were building.
Viliami Fifita - 24 year old prop at the Dragons, came through the Manly system with the Fainu bros. Another big lad. Would be a welcome addition to our pack in an area we need desperately to bolster.

Can't see how they could do a swap the Storm just picked up Pahulu from the Titans, there cap has to be tight they would have to shed a forward you would think.
Richo should be all over this there could be an opportunity developing.

We need his help now …club is at rock bottom these past few years ,,, he did migrate from Balmain over to Wests Tigers with sponsorships and public words of support …
You are right though …I see he is 92 these days and has been out of the public eye for a while …. The club has probably missed the boat …

Cobbo just dropped out of team, why would we want someone who would want $800.000 plus,
Who has been playing like shit this year.

Spicy …from what I see, people here just want someone new …I don’t think they care too much about the who….
Spending a lot of coin on Ponga & Brown.
They want to bring Dom Young back.
Bit of collateral damage on the way.
1. Ponga
2. Don Young
3. James Schiller ( rumoured to be wanting to play centre )
4. Brad Best
5. Greg Marzhew
6. Fletcher Sharle
7. Dylan Brown
Outside backs depth:
Kyle McCarthy
Wilson De Courcey
Fletcher Hunt
Taj Annan
Logan Aoke
And whoever else they've got floating around the pathways. Not an amazing depth chart but when I doubt they have much cash to spend.

Jack Bird is the only one I’m hesitant on.
Royce has had one bad game. He can’t start. We need him though.
I think you only need to look at ponga and his lack of impact...
Its an issue with the club.
Pre 30 June?

If they had a clue they’d tell him he’s free to go and sign Sexton. Leaving them with
1. Sharpe
6. Brown
7. Sexton
Sexton would be a great foil for Brown, who as it stands is shaping up to be their organiser, which will fail miserably. Ponga is cooked and is a drain on their cap.
