Did the players who debut get the framed poster or was that for players leaving ?

In my opinion... it looked like a few departing players were given a frame photograph of themselves playing.

Charlie Staines included.
Got me thinking he's done with our club.

I could be way off though.

Wait Aitasi James leaving!?!?

Where did you see this?

Keep Steph, him and Pole can become the best front row combination in the years to come. Gus gould would love both of them! Hands off, keep signing duds

Stefano and samuela starting with pole off the bench would be insane

Yep, looks like everyone is farewelling him.

Without turning this share into a political debate.
Interesting 9:01 mark who gets a mention and seeing the young blood at our club 🐯

Not sure, Tuki Simpkins got one.
He didn't play this year, did he?

Wests Tigers offer Jahream Bula mega contract extension

Bula has been a shining light in a miserable season for the wooden spooners and will be a leading NRL rookie-of-the-year contender. Now Benji Marshall has shown how much he thinks of him.

Multi-million dollar offer to keep him at WT until 2027.

What manager in his right mind is extending young talent with a few miles on them with the Wests Tigers at the moment?

Zero…

Bullas manager for one

Why can’t we go to press AFTER we extend players….this is just speculation, which doesn’t serve the player or the club well…how long is this going to drag on….6+ months…watch

Smart move
Bulla , Steph , would be 100% ones to tie up before kick off 2024

Overreaction press like this happens whenever a big player is having contract talks

Wrong thread

Laulilii can’t start the year in NRL, as he’s not Top 30.

I agree though that he’ll probably be in the starting 17 by years end.

Excuse this old blokes lack of understanding when it comes to this top 30 and the technicalities around it, but do we have to have these reserve graders in the top 30, can’t they be in ressies until we need them?
Unless they are ready for NRL come game one, (& some are not), then guys like James, Mansfield, Tumeth, Fainu, Galvin, Reilly, Feledy, and even Doueihi, are reserve graders until required. Why do they need to be listed as top 30?
That frees up a few spots for us to buy actual ready to go nrl players and have the next crop honing their skills against men getting ready for the call up when required after round 10?
And is it r10 again next year?
Now I’ve just read that James is going, did we get rid of him or has he found a better job? Bcoz he’s a good example of somebody who could possibly continue to get better with age.

Must be to fit in blore if he's going to move to the middle

I wish I was his size when I was playing since I would've had a ball as I was always punching well above my weight playing prop at 13 stone.

Who did you play for Trevor's?

It was for both.

Players that have debuted and those leaving.

Tuki announced as officially departing, Staines was given one for his debut but not announced as leaving.

Meaning he's either staying or still in unfinished negotiations with us or someone else.
