1 Bula
2 To'o
3 Turuva
4 Olam
5 Skelton
6 Galvin
7 Luai

Starting to look very threatening....

Add a hardworking pack and we’ll see a lot more wins

 

[Demps]

Where does he play ? Can’t say i have heard of him , is he top grade material?

He's a prop but I'm sure he could play backrow and lock.

Played for Lebabon and lower grades at souths and Newcastle [currently]

I for one would gladly send Galvin to the Panthers to get To'o. We have Fainu who can easily slot in alongside Luai, Galvin is a talent but he isn't an instant winner like To'o and will probably become a second rower or lock in the future. He may end up leaving anyhow so why not go hard for To'o.

This is the question.

Suppose a deal is on the table to make a swap, but the club stands firm to keep Galvin and lose To'o, but we lose both. Are we going to lose Galvin anyway? It kind of looks that way to me.

Article states depth......

Not bad, to be honest.
Well done.

There all kids again that won’t play 1st grade , some are 21 and have struggled, we are not learning

 

[liltiger]

Just hope we are locking down Pole

So u would swap a GUN 5/8 for a winger , are u mad . What the club needs to do is to get a pack that can give this great backline a chance , if we do sign some quality forwards and make a run for the semi’s next year maybe that will convince Galvin to stay , but u don’t throw away a playmaker for a winger

Rahme is known to the club being a Tigers' junior and served a good apprenticeship for a prop.

If there is a swap and this goes ahead, it will be a player Cleary believes will fit seamlessly into the Panthers' system.

I heard the Brian To'o rumour again today I think it has legs

I heard To'o , May and Toby Rudolph to the Tigers I love my Local

That would be sweet, To'o and Skelton on the wings, Turuva and May at centre

Our 'depth' Players are taking up most of the top 30....

We need first graders - Not projects.

Toó an instant winner. You jest!

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Just hope we are locking down Pole

And Sione Fainu

Yep kids , this just not good enough , and depth it says , that’s fine what about the main game the NRL team , we are last and non of the 7 will help us. Move up the ladder in 2025 , more lip service with no strength

Toby can assist the locals on Norton Street in putting up the rainbow flags

 

[426Tlgerland]

I hope everyone is happy now the signings are named

Not really happy at all
7 lower graders
what about Pole , Galvin , Sione ,
land where is Stefs replacement and the extra prop and back rower we need now

Not a single player signed today for depth will be taking a top 30 role.

Yeah I guess that's my point. Plenty of backs making debuts, but very few forwards. Miller being the only one from memory. Maybe Kit L?

Seems like the forwards are well behind and we have a while to wait before we see them in NRL consistently.

I think, as a broad rule, forwards can tend to take a bit longer to mature to NRL, just given the requirements of their positions.

As an example, if you look at the best teenagers of recent times, Galvin, Talagi, Strange, even back to the likes of Sua'ali'i and Walsh, they're all backs (generally).

But, in our side, we've already got Pole (22), Samuela (20) and Sione (22), so our generation now is up and going, it's the next crop that is 2/3 years away (min) from getting a decent taste.

Probably for the best though.
