Anyone hear Kevin Naiqama coming back to the Tigers?

Where did you hear this ? Lol
He's coming back to Oz.

He's coming back to Oz.

Probably one of the many players that keep ringing Madge about joining.

I'd take him.
Has more strike than our current backs.

Laurie, not included.

He certainly has more strike off the field than our blokes.

I get the distinct feeling the return of Mr Woods is already a done deal.

This will make us the laughing stock of the NRL if we take back the captain that stabbed us when we needed his commitment.

Are we that desperate.

I think you're right, and I hope no we are not that desperate.

One of our biggest barriers to becoming a formidable side is fixing our image to prospective players. No experienced established NRL player has joined our club in many years, excepting on very sizable overpayments. This is the pattern we have to change, and buying back players who very publicly left us for greener pastures in the past, and are now returning for a retirement fund, will only strengthen our bad history, not strengthen the new one we are trying to build.

Diversity in hair styles is sadly lacking with NRL players . The pseudo Viking mullets are becoming a little passe (don't know how to do the inflection). Kikau's reverse choc top not too bad though. Kev would be a welcome tonsorial addition to the NRL.

Watson is on over 500k at Newcastle. Does anyone think he's actually with that, it even more than that that we'd have to pay to try sign him?

I'd pass.
Not quite what we need.

Cleary left a bad taste in his mouth.

Last paragraph ?

didn't want Scott but does it show we have no idea what we are doing with recruitment

Maybe we actually pulled the offer when due diligence was done and we found out about the incident.

I highlight the below from sports writers from Foxsports .

Handed a $15000 game. Just goes to show they write and press send without checking or facts

**Scott was handed a $15000 game by the NRL** and handed a backdated three-game ban by the game’s governing body last month.

At the Dragons, Hunt has opted into the final year of his deal for 2023 while centre Zac Lomax's has done likewise with his long-term deal, enacting the final-year option in his in favour for 2026.

 

[Littlebittipsy]

The Roosters have rewarded a trio of emerging NRL regulars with new two-year-deals, with Billy Smith, Drew Hutchison and Fletcher Baker re-signing until the end of 2023.

Why would Lomax opt into his 2026 deal now as that seem strange..

Just posted it because there was talk of some interest in Baker. Hopefully no news is good news for Butcher.

That's the strangest thing I've ever heard.
Did anyone mention to him he has another 4 years at least to decide?
Would still look better in a Wests Tigers jersey.

think Fletcher's manager came to us asking if we were interested, same for Dean Hawkins. could be wrong but I think that was @tigerballs' info iirc.
