I don't think we lose Taylan to another side in the NRL (with the exception of Penrith) .. the risk is rugby union...
Terrell won't go anywhere as long as we don't fk him over.. He's already said he wants to be a tiger for life...

I doubt that..
Terrell has asked to sign to the tigers for life..
Tyrone is as good as done, he won't/shouldn't play NRL again...
Taylan is the risk of leaving
Let’s hope so

Just an avid fan who knows a thing or two about the sport.
Since Bar TV has come online this season covering every pathways game, I don't think I have missed watching one game of our clubs in Harold Matts, SG Ball, Flegg & NSW Cup this season so have a fair handle of how each player has performed & progressed.
Somehow I manage family & work as well lol

Risky move by Taylan when he has a chequered past and we have a gun left centre coming through.
Richo has already shown he won’t hesitate in letting good players go if they don’t want to be here.

Yep as @Demps mentioned, all brothers would then come off contract after the 2027 season and have a dream to play together one day. Plus the other factor in this is Benji, who both Terrell & Taylan speak so highly of. If there is no Benji by the end of '27, it gives them leeway to see who any new coach is.
My wife is extremely happy there are no more tigers games so I can relate haha

I think the Fainus might all be off contract that year too.

Sione is up for grabs November 1 😬
Ok I will bite! Taylan has to my knowledge no history in Rugby Union. From an outside centre perspective he prefers to take the man on the outside shoulder. That is a very large no in Rugby as it totally isolates the support players and makes it far easier for the opposition to turnover possession. It would take a significant time to overcome this tendency. In addition he will have no on ground skills and tackling is another issue. I cannot see a rugby club being interested as it would take a number of years to reach the standard.
I should add that this does not mean Taylan is not a good footballer but the age demographic, time involved does not make it an attractive proposition for a coach or club.

More referring to the other 2.
November 1, 2026 will be big if they’re all off contract.

Interesting one there with Taylan, hope it's sorted with us and him soon. Don't want it dragging
on too long. Dare say the manager is playing his part in this.
Say Taylan signs, how many spots do we have left in our top 30?

If Taylan agrees to stay it’ll take us to 27 spots. Currently at 26 with Bud now staying at Souths.

Terrell has repeatedly said that Taylan is his own man, and that any decisions he makes have little to do with him. Don't get your knickers in a twist fretting over Taylan's actions having an impact on Terrell. They won't.

It's so obvious with us—everyone blames our halves for our poor red zone attack, but it really comes down to our forwards not finding their front and providing a fast play-the-ball. I love Terell, but geez, he moves in slow motion when he gets up to play the ball. Watch Makasini's play-the-balls from the weekend when he was taking the dirty hit-ups—the kid was lightning quick and made the rest look slow in comparison. Kit is another with a fast play-the-ball, but unfortunately, he got it wrong and hasn't been seen in first grade since. Maybe this is on Benji for training them to be too conservative in the play-the-ball.
How often do you see teams score tries when the opposition compresses, and the winger goes in untouched? That’s all the forwards compressing the line. How often do our wingers go in untouched? Very rarely.

This “If we sign all the brothers, then none will go anywhere” thing has always been a crock. Might work for brothers who are mediocre. If they are elite, bigger clubs will always come calling. They want to make money first and foremost. Then they want to win. The bro culture is a distant third. Supporters tend to think the bro culture is all that matters. Easy to say when you are emotionally invested and don’t have the potential to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Lol thanks for biting, I appreciate the analysis - all valid points.
Whilst I understand what you are saying, I think the R360 competition will be happy just to field teams to get the momentum of the competition moving... If someone is half decent, I can see them taking a risk .. especially someone as talented as Taylan.. money isn't an issue.. these guys wipe their ass with the money they are throwing around ..
I could be completely wrong, just my thoughts..
Appreciate the insights again mate
