That young Tongan fullback last night looked a gun

Tesi Niu.

With Brisbane?

Looks like he is a Bronco.

 

[Madge]

Yep he is with Broncs. Very talented youngster.

FWIW, had lunch today with a client of mine who is also a third party sponsor of the Wests Tigers. He shared with me a couple of things that are probably little on the generic side (and restating what has been mentioned elsewhere) however may still be of interest to some ;
- Packer going no where given his own personal residence is in Leichhardt and kids go to nearby schools. Packer feels he has a point to prove in 2020.
- my client expects there will be a big signing that will be announced this week that may surprise fans (a nice surprise apparently). Didn't know /share who it was however will be apparently a "what the xxxx" moment once announced
- something needs to be finalised with Matterson before 31/10 otherwise we will start paying him from next year's Cap. Players are livid with him at the moment and he was told where to shove it when he turned up at a recent social function
- an old sponsor will likely make a come back on our 2020 jersey
- Matalino looks like being medically retired (been said a few times elsewhere)

Thanks for the info

Greatly appreciated

Hopefully all of it comes true

Even Packer

If he puts in than happy to keep him

 

[Madge]

@Wounded_magpie thanks bud. Really appreciate it.

Hopefully this player isn’t Moylan 😬

 

[tiger_one]

@Wounded_magpie

Yes, thanks for the info. It's always good to get inside goss and not rehashed from the generic media.

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Also looking forward on news , but please not Moylan haven't we already brought enough trouble over the past few years, rather Brimson or young up and comers like Matterson even though he has disappointed everyone, we still hold the decision on him and hopefully use that position wisely

Being devil's advocate here because I can see both sides with Moylan but what "trouble" do you think the Tigers have signed exactly? Probably our most ineffective signings have been legendarily great clubmen Josh Reynolds and Matt Ballin. I believe Ryan Matterson is meant to be some sort of clean living Jesus boy but that hasn't stopped him taking his ball home because he wants more money. Russell Packer is probably the NRL's most prominent reformed character. Everybody who works with Moses Mbye seems to love the guy.

We've signed dreadfully, but it's pretty clearly nothing to do with the imports being bad dudes.

Not so much ‘trouble’ signings as injury prone or past their ‘best before’ date. Matterson being the exception, but he’s turned out to be a prick.

also good to hear that packer wants to rip in......

At last some fresh clean air is blowing into Wests Tigers.

Look in a way I’m glad Packer wants to stay...by now he will have understood what it will take to break into the 17, and hopefully he exceeds, cause we need more mongrel in our pack.
As for Matterson, if we don’t offload him before 1/11, no big deal whatever he eats out of our 2020 cap, we seek in return as part of “the compensation”.
The big news signing I expect to be Lomax

We've certainly had our share of "what the xxxx" moments when it comes to signings in the past, would be nice to say it for the right reasons!

I like the fact Packer wants to stay and prove his worth. With the right attitude he can still do a job up front for us.

@Bones I think most would be happy with Packer if his form and attitude improve. Let's just hope he proves his point in 2020.

Agree on your Packer take. A healthy and committed packer can only be a good thing for us.
