Raiders reportedly tabling a 4 year deal for Tapine worth 3mil+

But only if he gets a divorce.

Knights have signed him

What a bummer, always the bridesmaid, never the bride, why could the knights find this kid, and all we seem to be looking at is player who's Careers are almost finished.

 

[Dennisspicer1]

My god, give him $600000
He definitely looks brilliant in his highlights,

Do you know, or does anyone know how to upload hi4s highlights to our site, cause I cant see how some club has not been trying to lure him here, and he is only 21yrs

FORGET IT, BEEN INFORMED KNIGHTS ALREADY GOT HIM, BUGGA.

PK and Riccio try not to be a turd challenge (impossible):

The Daily Telegraph’s David Riccio and NRL360 co-host Paul Kent said the Tigers could not afford to wait until the end of the season for Papali’i to make a decision.

“They have a salary cap to manage, they can’t sit back and wait for this guy,” Kent said.

“That’s why they the Tigers should move on now, move on and use the money before it’s too late,” Riccio added.

“Don’t wait until November. If they do there will be no market for them,” Kent replied.

Should Tigers heed the message and cut ties with Papali’i, it leaves them with two clear options.

Spend the money now and bring in a player to bolster the side for next season or save it up and make a play for one of the big-name stars off-contract from 2023 who can begin negotiating with rivals from November 1.

There’s no market now. These guys are fools. We have signed the guy. Sorry mate you’re not getting a release just deal with it.

Have thought about that regarding Madge but would like to think that Madge is basically a pretty honourable sort of a person and even if he still has a shitty on about the Wests Tigers I would like to think that he would still be telling Papali'i during the Word Cup, if he hasn't already, that he should honour his contract.

Strikes me that Madge is the sort of person/role model that he might take advice from.

I hope you’re right but I still want Pap to be happy about coming, not another disgruntled employee who got caught in a contract trap.
We need him happy and firing like this year.
Sounds like you must know Madge coz my experience with human nature tells me that fired employees can get a bit narky at times.
Anyway, we’ll never really know that answer until he makes a final decision.
I quite often thought that Madge’s recruitment drive sometimes had a Kiwi jersey attached, especially for Maumalo and Pap.

We need either HAAS OR TAPINE .just give them the money .

Nathan brown done deal

 

[Don Kershane]

Wow- a record sentence length has been achieved from this dropkick. i was going to say he was wagging school but that would be a stretch.

 

[Adam Doueihi]

I think we should look at jesse ramien since he is available

would rather muitalo both would be good though

Justin Holbrook didn't seem all that impressed with the form of David Fifita. His contract value is the issue, not his talent.

Very quite indeed....
Seems like we are getting all the re-signing done of the players that are not top line so we know what money was are working with..
Like they said on 360 last night Sheen's is up to something

He'd be awesome on about 1/2 the money he is on now.

How about Luke Brooks.

 

[finnzo]

Just resign Hastings for Christ sake

Just resign Hastings for Christ sake

Might be difficult if another team sign him as a 7 and we sign him as a 13.

But I think he'd attract decent contract if he has a Murray type contribution to the team.

Staines at full back tonight

After that woeful attempted tackle on Smith leave him with the black cats

If it was so important and given there was so much discussion about our coach, then he should of had that clause in his contract. No Madge, no me.
Just using it as some sort of rationale to not come.
My attitude has always been only transfer if you are committed to the club you are joining. And as someone said earlier, there has been no positive vibe by him toward WT.
Maybe Madge got in his ear at international weekend and is using IP as payback., despite his massive golden handshake.

Absolutely agree.
On a completely different subject, have you ever worn a Tigers suit on the sideline at a GF???
