Yep 110%You think he can make the jump to play 80 minutes there?
Interesting, I know Latu is taller than / as tall as Tevaga, Murray, Radley so I don't think size will be a big factor. Our middle could look small with him and Api there though.Yep 110% pretty sure he has 9 experience
99% of the time, it will break in the media that a signing is imminent. Very rarely do clubs make big signing announce out of the blue. Looks like it’s a done deal.Hmm didn’t Richo say if it’s in the papers the deal is off? Interesting week ahead.
lol what would you prefer? He doesn’t sign key players ? Or wait until he’s contract is finalized and then sign players after potentially missing their windows?Richo is allowing himself to be seen as The Man...
Good tactics when your negotiating a contract extension.
Richard is an genius...
Pole solves that problem by not having to play lock anymore
Yep that is what I have said where Latu can fit. His defence & wrestle is exceptional and he'll only get stronger & fitter.2 = Latu Fainu
6. Lachlan Galvin
7. Jarome Luai
13. Latu Fainu
Starford was worse the Jr under the high ball.Yep that is what I have said where Latu can fit. His defence & wrestle is exceptional and he'll only get stronger & fitter.
We now need a left wing so would not be surprised if we try to deal with Parramatta for an early release of Maika Sivo & extend his contract to end 2026 (currently '25 with Eels).
Then I reckon two of Staines, Naden & T'oa will be kept for the right wing (all their favoured sides). I would love to see T'oa return to the wing as he brings speed, tackle-busting & one of the best left fends in the game, whilst Naden has speed and has shown very good aerial skills. I think Staines is currently playing for his future at the club & Benji will give him every chance.
Whenever there was talk of us signing him... Or a forum member suggested it I always thought we'd be next to no chance... "why would he come here I ask myself"
Terrific if true!. I'll believe it when I see it.
Funny game this salary cap
I don't agree, I think he has shown too many lapses in his game defensively and I think he hasn't even been brought back on for a 2nd stint in a few games this year. He is only 21, he has plenty of time to become a starter.For this year sure but next he should start next to Stefano
I think we'll see a few early exits when the season ends, much like last year.If we do sign Turuva it will mean we only have 1 top 30 spot left for next season, which we have to leave open until Tumeths PO deadline. Wouldn't expect to be linked to anyone else until we can move someone on.
He said it. He didn’t have to say it.99% of the time, it will break in the media that a signing is imminent. Very rarely do clubs make big signing announce out of the blue. Looks like it’s a done deal.
That would be a pretty stupid policy if true. So both the club and player have to suffer because of one tiny leak? Bit of an overreaction if true.
Good chance it’s a done deal the way it’s being reported.He said it. He didn’t have to say it.
If it’s a done deal then it leaking at this point doesn’t matter, but if it’s not, well that’s another story.
Definitely not Sivo, people saying we should take on and extend his contract have completely lost the plot.I think we'll see a few early exits when the season ends, much like last year.
Turuva is the 1 for us...
Not Schiller, not Sivo.
Suruva has a long career ahead of him.
And I can see him really helping the Tigers.

To be fair I think that was in the case that it leaked from his camp. If it was someone at Penrith leaking it again like the Luai one then there is nothing to worry about anyway.He said it. He didn’t have to say it.

2025 RosterDon’t think that is right. I think it would be 25 signed players?
OFF CONTRACT 2024
Solomon Alaimalo, Adam Doueihi, Solomona Faataape, Sione Fainu, Asu Kepaoa, Jake Simpkin
All off contract as well, I think only one we will hold onto is Fainu
If Turuva is guaranteed centre that is interesting because the only other position I imagine Doueihi might play is lock or wing
