These days top line talent yet to debut into the NRL costs 150-300k then the gap drops big time cost wise after that. For Nanai/Herbi and others you're paying for potential which will be costly because they are known. For our club we pay a premium if they just have NRL experience.
I would prefer to go all in on a few kids with huge talent to try something very new for us and see if we can build something big.
Stefano, Simpkin, Papa, Talau are young adding Nanai + another few kids for 2023, add a few others in 2024 & again more in 25 = in 2-3yrs we will have a very powerful team. If we nab a few emerging talents I have zero doubts we will attract better quality players as well after them. If they go on a big success story together most will stay together longer as well. The salary cap will increase allowing us to still be competitive in retaining them.
2 out of them 4 would be outstanding TBH..
The way the club is going I think if we get 1 over the line we might organize a parade.
In a dream can you imagine if Sheens pulled off 4 of them..
Wonder if we should have a stab at Angus Critchton again.
I could only imagine our side with two elite class backrowers either side of the field.
His playing a bit like Sampson at the moment so maybe the Roosters might not be looking to extend him on a big contract or long term one?
Was talk he wanted to go back to union.
He is the sort of forward you offer the Finucane contract money to.

If I had to target people for next year (that are off contract this year) this would be my realistic list:
1. Royce Hunt
2. Franklin Pele
3. Herman Ese’ese
4. Connolly Lemuelu
5. Jaxon Paulo

Yep. Would be a top pickup. You'd need several paper bags just to get him to visit us for a chat though.

As I said, this is the Wests Tigers realistic list of off contract players they’d sign.
Lemme assume you’d want Payne Haas? Get a grip old man, he’d never come.
Let’s also add abit more.
From my list, all of them would out preform our team tenfold.

You think 5 reserve graders are what we need to turn things around? Seriously? With teh millions in the bank we have to spend? And one of whom spent 3 years here and was discarded
Api is in as well!!

What about young TC Robati if not Herbie?
He's a weapon too.

I’m not asking for a forward to do that every week. Just some weeks would be nice. Take some pressure of the young/still gelling spine. Our forwards are lucky to crack 70 running metres.

1995 world cup he was at 7 and Johns at 9
in 1997 GF he was at hooker and Craig field was at 7 so made the switch late in career

That’s probably Pascoe’s list to. Rebuild with more average Joe’s.

Okay, for starters you just referenced the forum. We were quite clearly discussing the club’s winless culture…
