Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Can we hurry up and look to extend Stefano already. I understand he’s off contract end of 2023 but surely we have to be in talks for an extension + pay rise. Star.

I believe he's absolutely vital to the club's future success, in every which way.
His value could be immense for many areas at the club including further strengthening our junior pathways and recruitment.
We don't really have a conclusive identity and the current Wests Tigers team - as a product - is somewhat low quality and therefore still a hard sell. But IMO this guy is the new prototype for the club and should be our main priority.
His dedication and commitment levels are as impressive as his physicality. The fact he's adequately handled the demands of the game in his first year, and is only going to get better, is scary.

If he starts next year like he has finished this year, he’ll be on the verge of the origin bench at the least.

That bump on Kikau was fantastic to watch.

It will be the desire for success that will see him walk into a top 3 club . The Tigers are a club with no identity let alone success … I would be very surprised if he stays full term on his contract failure has that effect. !

Hate Kikau. He looks like a lama with that stupid blonde hair

I don't care how he looks.
Plays like an absolute cat though.

Seems a current trend.
Some big forward gets talked up like they're so amazing and you watch the game and they run at wingers the whole game.

Examples...
Kikkau, D Fifita

Like many here have said, our nest recruitment target is obvious. Lock Stef up for 5 years @ $500K

I personally would go higher if required. He’s going to be one of the best props in the game next year.

We need to show some appreciation of Stefano and extend and upgrade his contract now he came as a little known giant but everyone's noticing him now I think he will end up a better forward than Pain in the Haas

Agreed. Little doubt he will be one of the best props in the NRL. Due to our low position, we need to pay him as the best now to keep him.

Chammas Mitchell Pearce doing rounds link to us cause blocker son works at brydens, pascoe met Pearce in America once, and knows hartigan. Sounds like player manager bs. Same manager as Brooks.

 

[tony soprano]

Also suggested chee to souths but Tigers softening on extension but too late. Made a bucket load of meters again

Yeah, saw he mentioned;
"Pearces name has been floated around to play 7..."

Yeah, floated by some forum users.
No one with any real input in the team.

These journalists are seriously so dry.
Reading forums and using basic chat for their articles.

Pearce and Knights coach both have same player managers.

Sounds like Pearce or the coach wants him out. 500k decent chunk of the cap

Not sure who Knights plan to have as their halves pairing next year.

Clifford, Crossland
Clifford, Hoy

Pretty average.

Pearce on the move talks have been heating up over the last few weeks.

I think we should not even entertain this idea.

He's played well the past few weeks would be sad to see him go but we will move on

Players like Chee are happy to get contracts whenever they arrive; there is no 'late'.
