It's a shame because Lucy was one of my favourites but 700k is pretty ridiculous. All I can hope for is the bloke honours the rest of his contract and puts in for 2022

He's requesting an early release
?

You have to ask yourself why is it that Tigers players always want an early release from their contract but when we sign Papalii he honours his. It's a part of the clubs culture that needs to be changed

Well going into 2022 luch is probably on 300 odd ? If you’ve got someone willing to pay 400k extra as early as next season, you’d likely jump

Cowgirls are paying $700k per season
 
Please WT, don't sign Foran. Look what happened to injury prone Balin from Manly, he only played a couple of games and I smell a rat. It also appears that after reading all the posts on this forum that Foran goes against what little WT DNA we have left.

WT'S will always be linked to anyone that is available BUT we are now in good hands with people that know what it's all about. Dare I say our new CULTURE might finally be kicking in.

If we can dig up a top line half though…

Hastings might fill that role.

I think Hastings has a lot of potential to be the half we need. He’s loud and controlling yet has composure.
 
Tariq Sims here we go! Lucy out Sims in, I don't care how we get it done, just do it, IMO of course.

Being loud doesn’t necessarily equate to being good

I didn’t say it did but a feel one thing we are missing is a controlling voice.

It definitely wakes up our players, something the club has needed but hasn't really had for around 10 years.

I don't think Benji or Robbie lacked in the vocal department.

Are you serious? Both of them were drastically lacking in the On field Vocals department...

Supporters also wanted a coach who would rip into players, and they finally got one with Madge. Had no affect. Screaming and shouting isn’t the answer to the problem.

Only one defensive liability left now damn we must have some money! Would love Bateman and Thompson

I can think of more than one

Stick a lockdown second rower on Noffa’s side and we might not have to watch him do so many butterfly impersonations. It’s amazing what a good defensive second rower can do !

Maybe , but to think Nofa doesn’t chase the glory intercept rather than hold the line and bundle his man into touch , is to deny the fundamental truth .
I like nofa , but he’s definitely a mug lair .
The Morris boys are the poster children for backline defence because they seemed to play the percentages. .
It’s why Nofa is the perfect tigers player .

I get that but my point is he doesnt have to make 8 (poor) defensive decisions per weekend if things aren’t breaking down on that edge.

That’s true . I guess I’m just saying if people expect that the howlers will go away , then they need to lower their expectations

Nah he is what he is, but in reality a lot of wingers can’t tackle. Their men inside them just hide their deficiencies
