At best, the Panthers could be paying a lot of rent backdated to when?

Lucky they have only been in the comp since the 60's and they aren't a foundation club. 🤣

 

[Spacecub]

Definitely!

Guys like Kitoga and Blore saw the signings of Bateman and Papali'i as a road block to regular first grade. Blore managed to become a starter in Melbourne. Kitoga is stuck behind Kikau and Preston at Canterbury.

Two players the club should've invested more time in. But this is what happens when the decision-makers are constantly changing every 2-3 seasons. And Sheens really stuffed it during his tenure IMO.

Sheens certainly was a total disaster I'm sure he only came back for revenge

Tesi Niu too good for reserve grade.

Surprised no club has picked him up.

Stop oil clowns would be protesting outside the

Cracking heads

More like Ellie Mae cracking heads!

I don't know what games you have been watching this season. Tedesco is well in fr=ont of all the other fullbacks even if he has lost some pace. He's a Bently v BMW's.

It's comforting you don't know what games I've been watching this season.

You're entitled to your opinion.

I think Walsh and Ponga are better players and possibly even Papenhuyzen. That's my opinion.

Jethro's father was world heavyweight champion Max Baer Sr.

You are entitled to your opinion. What have they achieved?

We wished Brooksy a good finals series…well he’s certainly Hit his olde Tigers form.

I thought he played well, the penalties to the roosters didn't help (one sided early giving monentum).

Are you 1st nation heritage cochise?

Apache I believe

Opinions are like @Droppy05's. Everybody's got one.

Jethro's father was world heavyweight champion Max Baer Sr.

He was World Heavy Weight Champ from 1934-35.

Died of a massive heart attack in 1959 at the age of 50.

Lake Cathie (Cat-eye not Cathy) for me.
Just north of Bonny’s, sometimes the lake is open sometimes not, depending on the weather conditions etc. We had a family Xmas lunch there when I was a teenager and I’ve never forgotten it. I love it there, I love the ocean/water. I’m on the mid north coast, so getting closer.

In the interest of thread title; We should get a good lock.

I lived in Lake Cathie a few years back. Great spot. Home of the big bowl. I'm in Forster now. Gotta love the mid north coast

So Broncos extend Walsh which will make it hard for them to retain Staggs, Cobbo, Kobe H etc..
They now have Walsh, Hass, Mam, Carrigan as their main big earners so hopefully they let Kobe come to us..

 

[cochise]

Apache I believe

Very well done.

We already have the official top 30.. We know everyone's contract status for the moment. Doueihi signed a contract extension in June.

Doueihi extends his stay at Wests Tigers

Wests Tigers is delighted to announce that Adam Doueihi has extended his contract through until the end of the 2025 season.

www.weststigers.com.au

2025 Top 30:

1. Bula
2. Staines
3. Turuva
4. Olam
5. Skelton
6. Galvin
7. Luai
8. Pole
9. Api
10. Klemmer
11. Bateman
12. Samuela
13. Seyfarth

14. Da Silva
15. Hunt
16. Twal
17. Bird

18. Doueihi - Utility
19. Matamua - Lock
20. Latu - Half
21. To'a - Centre / Wing

22. L. Lualilii - Wing
23. Naden - Centre
24. Feledy - Centre
25. Saukuru - Centre
26. Sullivan - Half
27. Miller - Prop
28. Sukkar - Second Row
29. Faagutu - Lock
30. K. Laulilii - Lock

This is where we need to balance out on who can move on to what we pay.

Either pay out to leave or pay towards their salary at a new club.

Skelton was apparently about $235K. Bird $400K, unsure if the Dragons paying anything, doubt it. Hunt who knows but I'm guessing about $400K as well.

Means we still have $1 mil plus in the cap & whatever we saved this year on Nofa, Simpkin, Kepaoa & Bateman.

Montoya $300K & Hetherington $450K is fair.

So let's hope we can get someone to take a player or two off our hands.

Money isn't the issue. Spots are!

Big Bowl? You mean medium bowl.

Wow, LC to Forster. Not bad. Forster would be another place I’d live. Some great spots, along the beach, canals, old school canals on the Tuncurry side are kool too. Yeah and the other side of, is it Wallis Lake? Some spots round there beautiful. If I can’t smell salt I’m too far from home.
MNC rules!!!

And in the interest of thread title; I suggest we sign the best prop available.
