I would be looking at Campbell Gillard for 2 year x $ 650
he still goes well and plays big minutes

I’m viewing Hunt as a sorely needed upgrade to the pack, semi realistic replacements for our overpriced flops:
Uto- NAS or RCG
Bateman- Wong or Bullemore
IPap- Hethrington or Jack Williams
We really need to get it right this time as our track record with cap space is horrendous.

Bird is Bateman's like for like replacement

People are off this guy, I don’t know why.
I’d chase him for sure.

I’m not sure if he has that long left in him?
Certainly 2 though.
This girl is so bitter , man what a hater , how does she have a media career with zero charisma, Sharon should never be invited to any West Tigers events in future

He's way off. Plays short to Sam Fainu all the time and makes piles of tackles.

I am not clicking on it, actually I am boycotting everything Dora has to say. I implore every other Tigers supporters to do the same and just maybe his media career will be short. I’d be happy knowing I played a small part in his demise.

Hohepa Puru from the Raiders, Mat Croker from the Knights & go get Jack Hetherington from the Knights as well.
Or, if the Frizzell rumours have any basis, bring him in for either Croker or Hetherington & let Sam Fainu rotate into the middle during games as well.
Knights & Raiders forwards = no frills, get the job done types.
I'd be good if Kobe Hetherington came in, but I prefer Puru.
Low cost fliers on Joe Stimson & Jacob Alick-Wiencke.
3 or 4 of those names would strengthen the squad nicely.

Normally through the course of a season you find a player or two that are coming up through the reserve teams that just look 'ready' to push into the 1st grade squad. Not particularly concerned about the KOE backs, but looking at the forwards, there is really only a couple of names to even consider- Johannssen, Sukkar & Kit Lualili'i.
Since returning from 1st grade, Rueben Porter's numbers dropped off considerably.
The big concern is the defensive numbers of our KOE forwards. Large chunks of missed tackles. It could be that the team was just so poor that it effected everyone. But there are games where Johannssen misses 4 tackles, Kit misses 3-4 tackles. Only Sukkar &, surprisingly, Tumeth don't show up with particularly bad defensive efforts. It is clear to me that the key in KOE is to build stronger defensive players. Whoever is brought in, needs to offer better resistance. Jaxson Rahme & Vako Aho hopefully can help strengthen the middle.
Until these young guys can show defensive resilience, I'm not sure they are 1st grade options. Johannssen is possibly the closest, with impressive offensive output. A little bit of quality added in the KOE, particularly good defensive options, should hopefully help the development of the young guys & have them actually earning their opportunities going forward.

Jaxson Rahme- will be interesting to see how ready he is when he comes in. Hard worker & good tackler. Wonder if he might surprise?

Yeah you’ve named 2 very good ones there, Carrigan is another and Murray.
Workaholic machines.
Lots of tackles, lots of meters, agility and can ballplay.
We have potentially two very good ones in Fonua Pole and Sam Fainu.

These players were just those playing Cup last week who'd be on similar salary to AD and would provide better value than Adam does for us next year.
