@insideman are we looking at backrowers ?To me this is a clear depth issue
I agree. We are after a young forward from Penrith Spencer Leniu but dogs are favourites to get him. Their was talk of a ex west’s tigers prop coming back but he has knee issues

Sue or Lodge?

Or...


It couldn’t be

Him or Fifita. Tolman will fill the hole

Fifita would take up 3 spots..

If I can add one thing about Seyfarth, it's that I love his passion to play for us. I Know he cops some criticism for his ability but I find he seems a little awkward and just a little out of depth atm, so hope he can grow his game in 2021.
I'm always happy to see one of our juniors develop to NRL level and this goes the same with him.

Needs to unleash his ranga side.

Maintain the rage of the Gingers

Needs to pull his pants up higher like the great Harry Galloway

I just watched some highlights of Daine Laurie and got pretty excited at what he could become. I sure hope the mail is correct and we have signed him and not just talking to him..
Don't need another one to turn his back on us.

Now if we could just have Stephen Crichton join us.

 

[Long Term Fan]

It appears we have 4 spots to fill adn maybe 5 if Josh is allowed to leave

Appears Laurie and Roberts are set to fill two spots and Seyfarth maybe a third spot.

Backline could be for 2021

Laurie
Noffo
BJ
Roberts
AJ

AD
Brooks

That looks an improvement on 2020 and some added pace to the backline.

With the way we are going trying to sign gun players , I would love to see us try something different , go to Fiji and sign 3-5 players they would come on minimum wage , grab 2 forwards and 2-3 backs , sign them for 1-2 years or one years with a club’s option. If it works out great if it doesn’t no great loss , but a lot of gems have come out of Fiji , it’s worth a try

Would be a good and cheaper replacement for JAC.

McDonnell is known for that think his signing up lots of nz talent atm

I like it but Talau for Leilua. We need to use him in the NRL after a big off season.

When I hear knees issues I think of Fafita - please no.

Matt lodge had a knee injury last year and broncos want to offload him paying a fair bit on his contract

 

[bathursttiger1]

I hope that Diane Laurie doesn’t start kicking stones and carrying on like a pork chop like MM, RM and JA.
That both clubs can work professional together to arrange a release for 2021.
We don’t need to act like Manly or Parra.

I would happily take a heavily subsidised Matt lodge over josh douchebag.

 

[Russell]

Jamil Hopoate is another one we could look at.

NMN

One douchebag for another. One seems honest with where he is though

TIGERS POUNCE ON STAR BROTHERS

WESTS Tigers have poached two highly promising young brothers from the ranks of the Bulldogs.

Iverson and Compton Fuatimau, both powerhouse centres, signed with the Tigers last week - and they will be joining a third brother at the club!

Tyrese, a 17-year-old prop, played in the Tigers' Harold Matthews squad this season and is also held in high regard at the club.

Iverson, aged 20 and Compton, 18, were born in New Zealand and scouted by then Bulldogs recruitment man Warren McDonnell.

When McDonnell moved to the Tigers, he made signing the two young centres a priority and it all came to fruition in recent days.

The two will train with the first grade squad over the summer and are expected to be NRL-ready for 2022
