Quick update;

1) Tim sheens is boarding a flight tomorrow

2) Tigers confirming with NRL if final spot is still to be filled by 1st of Aug due to Covid

Seems like an incredibly stupid and naive question. Surely all clubs have known what the rules are for some time. We do what we can to get someone from outside and then promote someone like Pauga if necessary

They are asking if the current situation changes the requirement, makes sense to me?

But all the players are in the same bubble in Queensland. We probably wouldn't be asking to bring in someone from outside. If it was a promotion of a junior even then Pauga is already with us up there in any case. So not sure what difference it makes, just that we're stalling

It's not about who is in the bubble, it is about who moves into the top 30 in regards to player payments etc.

I believe the teams in QLD are made up of 30 players plus 11 staff 41 in total.

We took up 29 players and 12 staff + truck load of equipment .

+ Robbie didn't go into bubble so didn't travel to QLD.

Why would we take 12 staff if that locks out player 30? (If there was any immediate signings)
TPJ is elligible to play in round 20. Given he makes a switch.

Just sharing the info dude.

The 29 players that are up there arent all part of the top 30 as we've left AJ, Packer and musgrove behind.

On the WT site, they are saying all 3 are injured?

After sustaining an ACL tear earlier this year, Kepaoa is moving through rehab programs as expected is and is currently working through an intense strengthening program. He will return to running in the next four to six weeks as he eyes off a return in time for the start of the 2022 season.

Packer is continuing to work through his knee injury with a gradual increase in his running load at the moment, while Musgrove has been unsuccessful in a conservative management plan for his foot fracture — progressing him to a surgical repair and a non-weight bearing program for the next four weeks.

Oh well, rolled the dice with Musgrove and came up snake eyes. Geez I hope we get some value out of this guy, else he could make Nofoaluma's similarly long extension look like a bargain in comparison.

dont ask 4 stat's,we have afew 4 year deals creeping in on potential

That is correct, but I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't take our top 30 players. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that we didn't take Packer for example.

Packer, Musgrove and Kepaoa all stayed behind due to injury not sure who else went.

Somehow I saw Mbye in that list left behind. Wishful thinking on my part.

I think that’s a clear indication we’re doing the TPJ-Walters swap. Only allowed 41 people in the bubble so someone has to go if we get TPJ

Now that's clutching at straws
We will end up with the short one
AGAIN

I realise Lomax is on a new contract but seems a bit unhappy with the situation re the bbq. I know we have tried before but worth another go.

Lomax only lives a couple streets away from me

I’ll go present him a tigers jersey now ?

Stick 50 bucks in an envelope and put it in his letterbox
Tell him there's plenty more where that came from if he signs with the Tigers

Nope, out for another month as his broken foot required surgery.
