It was Ken M that hit Houston hard.
Very good tackle, jammed in from the wing and got him.
Just hope Stains and Bula make it to the top side. Genuine speed in the backline is always a bonus.

You made the comment that he didn’t lose anyone.
I wasn’t talking about the players he signed.
But thanks for reminding us who he signed.

Keebra wasn't in our catchment either. Any club can partner with any school. The more the club provides the more exclusive the arrangement should be.
Mate do you know if this so call meeting is true for this week with us?

Correct, defeats the purpose.
Smuggle him in 👍

Post it?
Yeah fair enough, I thought they may have been able to get the ball rolling and have it conditional upon confirmation of his contract.

I must be stupid, but if he is being stopped from entering Australia because he is not employed, what meaning is his contract with the Tigers, does it not mean he is employed by the West Tigers to play l Rugby League in Australia.

Your not stupid, he has to have the job first before applying for visa and not the other way round, thats my understanding. Just paperwork mumbo jumbo that ensures someone has a job, then again I'm prob the dumb one 🤣

Yeah, need an employer to sponsor you for a visa 😉
As I said two weeks ago in the bateman thread he should be here in 1-2 months. Wonder how the article knows he’ll be here in 2 weeks? If the visa is granted he can come on the next flight…I’m assuming they’re guessing…
Tigers should’ve planned ahead and communicated with him to let him know his visa will take time so please make a decision asap!
By way of background his last visa app would’ve been easy as compared to his most recent application with his daughter and new born. It’s not just Bateman’s visa but also his dependants.
You can Google 408 sporting visa for more info. The timelines usually are very hit and miss

Luke Brooks has rolled out the red carpet for his old mate Mitchell Moses, urging him to return to Wests Tigers as he considers his future at Parramatta.
Moses took the Eels to their first NRL grand final in more than a decade last year but remains unsigned by the club beyond this season.
He and Brooks were blooded at the Tigers before Moses left for the Eels in 2017, and his old halves partner is keen for them to finish what they started.
"I've spoken to him a couple times and told him what the vibe was like and how much it has changed - I've been selling the place to him," Brooks said from the Tigers' newly-opened $80million centre of excellence on Monday.
"I'm not too sure what his thoughts are, but I think he'd be a great addition to our side and I'd love to play with him again.
"I think when we came in (to the NRL) we were very young.
"We sort of spoke before about how we would like to have a chance to play together again.
"Whether that's now or not, I don't know but hopefully he makes a decision soon, the one that's best for him."
Brooks cut a relaxed figure on Monday and is expected to return from a niggling calf issue in the Tigers' second trial game against Canberra in three weeks' time.
The halfback, who has become a punching bag for the Tigers' recent failures, described the new era under Tim Sheens as a "fresh start".
Brooks has reasons to be cheerful given the forward pack he will be playing behind.
Along with rising stars Shawn Blore and Stefano Utoikamanu, the Tigers have brought in David Klemmer, Api Koroisau, Isaiah Papali'i and Englishman John Bateman, who is set to land in the country in the next fortnight.
Asked if the current set of Tigers forwards was the best he had played with through his 10-year stint with the club, Brooks said: "A hundred per cent. The guys like Stef and Blorey, you forget they kind of missed the whole of last year.
"They're looking strong and fit and then you've got Klemmer and then 'Ice' (Papali'i) and Bateman, who are strike players on each edge.
"Api will be in the middle and be able to bring them on to the ball and really get us going forward.
"Those guys in the pack plus all our young forwards who had a bit of a taste last year who will only benefit our side."
