Matamua turned 19 this year and played a bit of first grade.How far off FG you reckon? One season? Two?
Feledy turns 19 in 2023, so maybe he’ll be the same?
If not, he’ll debut in 2024.

He was 17 when he made his debut and turned 18 later that year.Do you remember was Chris Lawrence 17 or 18 when he started in first grade?
Where’s the Balmain reserve grade side then?Do you know why the reserves are magpies. Its because wests tigers was setup as a joint venture between 2 foundation clubs, It was not a merger as some on here seem to think. One of the stipulations of the joint venture was that both foundation clubs would keep a presence in the next tier down from NRL in order to keep their heritage and to avoid either club dying off and they would also keep and fund their own juniors. Balmain also had a presence in the NSW cup as Balmain Ryde Eastwood until they went belly up.

People that don’t like Sheensy are #$$%headsBut everyone too happy to bag him
How about our most expensive player who turns out he can’t play 7… 🤣lol Also forgot to mention sign a player from souths to play fullback, who it turns out can't play fullback and has to play 6
People that don’t like Sheensy are dickheads
They went broke and could no longer field a side. The only reason Balmain juniors still exist is because Wests Ashfield prop them up. Had they been financial they would still have had the option to field a team in NSWcup.Where’s the Balmain reserve grade side then?
It'd be a typoOdd considering the minimum wage is more than that....
And probably going up
think it went to 200 under the new cap.Is minimum wage $120,000?
Not sure.Is he ready?
If he is inking in a 100,000 deal with the Dolphins we are obviously topping that figure up. No one plays for 100g. Anyway vacant roster spots are like gold for us in the big rebuildGranted a release by the Tigers, Gildart will begin negotiations immediately with the Dolphins with a view to inking a $100,000 deal to be part of history at the NRL’s 17th franchise.
The Dolphins expect to finalise the deal in the coming days ahead of a formal announcement next week. (Courier Mail)
Imagine if he signed with Melbourne - he be sent to QldImagine the feeling of disengagement when Wests Tigers sign a promising junior and he is shipped off to play with Western Suburbs Magpies? Or Balmain?
I could be wrong, but I’m convinced a pathway, or any succession plan, would become more established if it were seamless.
In all the years I've followed this club, I've never seen such a swift clean out.Another player released today in Gildart and a big congrats to the club..
IMO every player we have let go or not resigned has been the correct one and just amazed how we offloaded Peachey, Musgrove and Gildart all in a space of 2 weeks.. Its like Xmas as come early.
Something is clearly brewing and the club is 100% heading in the right direction IMO. We seem to be talking to the right players and we have to have some locked in already otherwise the club would not be just releasing players like this.
If we could snag Klemmer & Bateman we are a real chance of making the top 8 next year. I hope we extend Hastings and I have no problem with the club trying to bring Moses back as that would be the icing on the cake.
Looking forward to next week.
When does Sheen's return to Aus does anyone know?

Hopefully that’s what we can start to look forward to.In all the years I've followed this club, I've never seen such a swift clean out.
It's only half the story though - now they need the signings to stick.
