UK Super League signings are always a risk, sone work great, some are disasters.
Mikey Lewis is more similar in playing style to George Williams and I would say he was a success during his time here with the Raiders.
Maybe we will never know, but there’s been plenty of speculation he wants to test himself in the NRL and Richo would surely know him well from his successful UK endeavours.

I would be happier for Richo to find a couple of Pommy middles
 
I don’t see the club playing any tricks with their interest in signing Reynolds. I think they see him as the perfect player to have at the club for a year or at a stretch two years. He brings experience but most important a kicking game. I have mixed feelings because I think we have the halves reasonable well covered and that money could be directed at a top notch middle. In saying that kicking games win matches and ours is below standard

Got some third hand info last night at an Origin party from someone who knows player agents supposedly. Take with a grain/bucket of salt...

Galvin deal should be announced by COB Friday as there was some hold up over small print. This is probably the non-disclosure clause but could be something else related to compensation. Also, deal is closer to $1M per year with third party deals so expect Lachy to rock up in some commercials next year.

Also, once Galvin deal is done WT will announce new signings. I think one is likely KPP for 2026 but could be before June 30 thus why its taking longer to announce. But interestingly enough, we are getting 2 more signings. One could be from UK and the other one is apparently a 'big' name. Not sure who but the hint was it could be from 'up north'. Maybe Broncos?

He was aggressively vague and very drunk so could all be BS but thought I'd share anyway.

Seems my source was on the money (and on the sauce). Galvin deal was done, KPP and May both announced. Which means we may not be done yet on the signing front. Interested to see if he's three from three. Catching up with him again soon so will squeeze him for more info then!

I think Reynolds stays in Brisbane or goes to England for a couple of years.

I listened to the NRL360 discussion on Broncos Halves Headache - Is re-signing Reynolds the right move?

Anasta's answer - at the right price to me was the best answer. Also suggestions are if he is re-signed it is to a modest contract.

Also when Reynolds was asked about a new contract and WTs, a smile passed across his face.

Wests Tigers have signed Taylan May for the remainder of this season and are heaping pressure on Brisbane to reach a deal for Adam Reynolds as they wait in the wings with a contract for the Broncos playmaker.

The Tigers finalised a train-and-trial contract with May on Tuesday morning as they prepare to unite the former Penrith back with his brother Terrell for at least the remainder of this season.

In the background, the Tigers also remain in the mix for Reynolds as they look to poach the 34-year-old from the Broncos next season.

Brisbane have been locked in talks with Reynolds over a one-year extension but the Tigers have made their interest known and it is understood they have tabled a more lucrative deal as they look to lure him back to Sydney.

It is understood that Reynolds could make a call as early as this week. May, meanwhile, completed a medical at the Tigers on Monday before signing on the dotted line with the club on Tuesday morning.

The Samoan international has been without a club since parting ways with Penrith last year after being charged over domestic violence allegations.

The charges were withdrawn three months ago and May has since spent time in a mental health facility undergoing treatment.

The Tigers had a long-standing interest in the 22-year-old. Chief executive Shane Richardson met May when the charges were first withdrawn, prior to the outside back checking himself in for treatment.

The talks resumed recently after he checked out of the mental health facility. Souths coach Wayne Bennett also showed an interest in May and he was given a tour of the club’s Heffron Park headquarters.

However, the Tigers have won the battle to secure his signature.

Who was the young prop the Tigers have tried with no luck to get out of Brisbane a few years ago?

We need a prop
