So would everyone prefer a Siro or Sitili tupouniua . He’s off contract the end of 2021 I rate him as a real good 2nd row player? I get we may be able to get Siro early but if we don’t and they’re both of contract 2021 who would use prefer we went for?
(If it was possible to pick one of them up that is)

Probs Sitili though I can't see him coming to the Tigers - and with Cordner's concussion issues I'd be suprised if Roosters let him go. Siro coming home will also provide us with some positive PR for a change!

I doubt it also but would be a good buy if we could get him. I always liked siro, but did he have a fall out with the club before he left or was that someone else? I honestly can’t remember ay aha


I didnt blame Sirro for leaving at the time. Get away from his dads shadow, make his own name and probably also to get away from JT. A LOT has changed since then. I would love him back. Seems to good to be true though.

Was thinking, now that we have speed in the centres in JJ .. he can partner either TT or AK and we can move (try) JL in the back row with his brother LL .. ?? Thoughts .. ?? (JJ =Jimmy Jet .. TT = Tommy Talau .. AK = Asu Kepaoa .. JL = Joseph Leilua .. LL = Luciano Leilua) That way we dont need Siro Jnr.


BJ doesnt have the motor for 2nd row.

I like that idea tbh JL has the build for it that’s for sure

Personally I'd have Roberts and Leilua as centre pairing and AJ and Nof as wingers. Talau would be back up for all four of them so you'd think he'd play at least 10+ games throughout the year. JL is then off contract and unless he massively improves I reckon Talau takes his place. Curious though who plays which side - both JL and JR have played most of their careers on the right.

He did but that was mostly with Jason Taylor I believe. His Dad did also at that time though seems to have mended it starting with Ivan Cleary era (who obvs left us in a bad place with our roster but seems to have done some good work with getting ex tigers back on board with the club). WOuldn't suprise me if JT leavin and some time away has healed those wounds - though who knows aye

Ah sweet cheers for that mate. We can only hope ay. Up the tigz

Agree with talau to switch to lock.
 
The way I look at it it’s essential we need to get a swap deal for JA otherwise he will be sitting in reserve grade waisting our valuable cap space and will be a media circus all year and we can’t just release him because then we look like idiots after everything we have said so please tigers make Siro happen

While we are spitballing, thoughts on Olakauatu from Manly . Very raw, aggressive

On a plus side. That’s two indigenous players that we have managed to attract to our club now.

Who’s the second ?

Laurie

Nice kid by the looks of it!

Tigers on the theme of recycled players should get Blake Ferguson. Just to see Madge lose his mind within 6 weeks. Bigger and faster than our outside backs and could come cheap Parra want to get rid of him for Mansour.
