Bcoz- gunna - I would have to question that person... either they are on or off.... that is also an X factor.....

How can we have made him an offer for 26 when he can’t have an offer until Nov 1 this year? He is contracted until next year Willison so unless Broncos have given him permission to look elsewhere, we can’t make him an offer for 26.

Broncs know they can't keep him and may let him go early.

Seems like any issues a back or half has, throwing them into the forwards is the ultimate solution.

It's sort of like the late 90's when a lot of halves switched to hooker successfully.

Generally speaking the players who come through as halves are the most talented players. Some kick on, some fall just short. Those that fall just short can transition to a position that requires less skill and pressure, like hooker and lock.

Buzz Slothfield wants an “audit “ into the Wests Tigers financials ..: following Richo’s story in the Fin Review …

What does he want the outcome to be … fire Lee and Pascoe … again ?

Pay a fine to the Sharks so they can buy more carpet rugs.

And we are unable to replicate ? Surely Richo knows about these things.

Broncos (Largest city in QLD) are up until recently a 1 Team Town.

Resources / Corporations are vast.

There's a lot of opportunity up there to bed the salary cup rules

Buzz is scarred to call out the bigger clubs.

What’s Buz worried about??The fact we inflated our membership numbers or lost 2 million. The Sharks operated at loss for decades, there only here today because of a real estate deal

Is this intel or your opinion? Who is his manager do you know @tigerballs ?

Cotric will have no choice other than to leave Canberra as it’s perfect clear they don’t want him.
Bostock contracted to Phil’s for 2025, they won’t let him go.
Vakenai good for yardage Carrie’s and a good finisher, but mistakes are a concern.
Skelton is the one I’d be going hard for, what pathways would he block as we don’t have any big, strong & fast wingers in the horizon.
Someone else mentioned Blake Wilson from the Bulkdogs and although contracted to them for 5 years ago 2025, I agree he looks like a definite NRL winger who cannot get a regular start with the Bulldogs, he’s be a good fit for us.

Cotric is not the player he was 5 years ago , he’s a BIG no

We need a class frontrower, and a hard running , big hitting backrower , and forget the juniors none are even close to play 1st grade .

It appears we do because our back five aren’t doing enough grunt / power work. Watch the best teams like Penrith / Easts and their centres and wingers do much more work in attack out of their end. Stef and Klem are knocking up because they’re being asked to do too much and our bench rotation is ordinary. They are both quality starting front rowers. A wrecking ball second rower who busts tackles wouldn’t hurt.

Our back four missed 16 tackles to 4, I think it was. That’s part of the issue to go with the grunt work. Our forwards have to work harder than others to get back on side and then to take the run, every set. Then be fresh enough to dominate the other pack.
But Stef had 3 runs at halftime, that’s unacceptable, but unusual. 🤷‍♂️

Fair shout on Ilias as a 13.

He's 6'0, 92/93kg, a good front-on defender, can pass both ways and is a genuine running threat.

The more I mull this over, the more I think it's an idea with merit.....

He's too small for lock. Will get smashed

 

[Kelce68]

6ft and 93kg is too small?

He's the exact same height and 1kg lighter than Cam Murray....

Brisbane know how ro maximise their third part sponsorship of players.

legalised cheating

And its because they have a huge stadium and corporate boxes by the dozens. A lot of $$$$$$ flowing into the club. Those dollars can be spent on attracting players to the lower grades. Bingo!
That's what Richo is aiming at; to grow the Tigers; so we can sponsor players [whatever grade they want] and stay under the cap for the NRL players.
We need to get out of the LO mindset. Get the nostalgic blinkers off if we want to win an NRL comp.

Yes but where are you getting them from ?

He doesn't play like cam, he's not guts & blood
