Gee the Tigers will again struggle in 2026 if KPP is considered a notable signing. He comes to us from the team who finished with the Wooden Spoon. I have no wrap on him.

Agreed
It's definately an effective defense, but one that seems to be breaking people.
Craig Fitzgibbon was huge into the wressle. I wonder if this is contributing.
We may start to see the same at the sharks.

The margin of error of going a bit too high with that kamikaze style defence has worked against Radley (and others) he gives away a lot of penalties. This year the footy has been great viewing with its momentum shifts (or a “game of two half’s”) where you think one team has the game won (like the Raiders V Broncos). We have seen the Cowboys and Titian games get away from us with momentum swings.
It’s buyer beware with players like Radley. They can do something good to change the game or get penalised or sent off.

I wonder how many of those hia were tactical substitutions

I think you’re on the money. I think our cap is going to be stretched to fill the vacant spots.

Would not touch Radley. He is a unit with a lot of hard miles on the clock, had plenty of defect notices from the authorities and might struggle to get a pink slip when his rego is up. Also spent a fair bit of the time on blocks in the garage.
Seriously we don’t need another penalty magnet, with a rap sheet longer than a goal post and more head knocks than a no arms boxer

If you could sign victor for bench player coin x 1-2 years would be okay imo
But I can’t see that happening
Assuming he has a family to support reckon he will go to the highest bidder
Wonder if there’s a spot for him at the Titans 😂

Yeah he’s another like Nelson. He’s one of the most penalised in a team that’s gets the rub of the green from the refs, imagine how often they’d penalise him at the Tigers?
He could be a good stepping stone player for us for 2 years, and him. I’d bet quids a team like Perth would pay good money for him no matter how beat up he is.

Its not often a high calibre player comes along falling out of the tree, and its reported @700 G?
Good investment IMO, the guy would add plenty at 13 where we have lacked any strike.
Instantly improves the pack in a huge way.... yes the headknocks, but worth the risk.
What were they going to pay that muppet dossier kid to stay?
Surely they kick the tyres.... it would be a travesty if the red V beat us to the punch.

Mixed feelings re the possibility. At his best very good enforcer and hard runner of the ball but he is close to the end. Don't want to end up wth another Bwaith type pension collector, which is a real possibility.

I’m still not 100% on Radley , I see our problem was once we got into our opposition 10/ 15 mtr area we just could not put points on we looked lost , no organisation , no set plays , we missed AD in last few rounds and I feel he could have made a difference in those games but AD at 13 and a good 7 is where we need to go , KPP. Will help but Latu I’m still not sure if he is the wiz kid , we also need attack coach like Cronk , that’s where I think we need to spend money
Cheap forwards will be available shortly ,

Yes agreed. I was in favour of the Blore Olam swap and we got burned by that badly. NAS, Radley are in the same bucket. Wouldnt touch Brandon Smith. A very troubled soul.

Incredible source of stats information on any NRL player, need a subscription though.
Yep. He's out of his prime and is about 1 head knock away from forced medical retirement. No thanks

Its not that bad really, 6 HIA No Returns in 7 seasons. I wouldnt sign him, much rather we transition Doueihi to 13. Besides we have a few promising rangy 2nd rowers joining us in the offseason.
I’d take Victor in a heart beat . Every sports person in Australia has dibbed and dabbled with the marching powder . Your system burns through it , and it’s easy to mask / chuck up inconclusive test results with Berocca and other things.
If you sink half a carton of piss every weekend ,smoke bongs/ even smash durries all day!( not sure how you afford it anymore) , then you’re in no position to claim moral high ground on a dude snorting lines in a controlled environment with his mates. In fact it’s hypocrisy at its finest .the only difference between you and him is government have developed clear systems to tax. Litterally that’s it . Sorry to break it to you , they’re all just harmful in the community as each other .
If it doesn’t affect who and what he is in the dressing sheds and his performance on and off the field both in pre-season and the general season, this is exactly the type of player we need . A middle who can tackle all day , provide spark , and ball play through the middle corridor of the field .
There’s really only 2 types of people who are beyond repair , blokes who love to bash thier families (not dudes who are screwed up and know they’re a mess and need help- there’s a difference there. The second bloke seeks therapy , might have spent time in gaol , had a long hard mirror shown to him and his past and is genuinely doing the work, the first bloke loves the power and domain he holds and gets off on the pain he inflicts. That guy should be thrown off a cliff) and obviously your Brett Finch types .Castration comes to mind there …
Sorry and on a team harmony level , your Ryan Matterson types … hard to include just being a shit bloke with the evil of the 1st two though.

Apparently Radley is on 700k a season. It would be good business by the club to pick up his contract for 500k and add a missing piece to the team. He doesn't seem.like the kind of player to come to us though...seems like a bit of an Easttard...Manly next destination is my tip.
