That’s my boys 👏🏻

We have played a part too. On this Forum

I'm quite excited by May, Pole and Hunt. That's some power.

I would bring in Taylan in a heartbeat, would be a massive pick up at right centre

Agreed. I never we want to see Doubei play first grade for us again! Pathetic player.

 

[Tito Santana]

Gee a lot of those guys are starters last cpl years ...crazy

I’d be very happy if all those guys got lost on a bus never to be seen again.

Except Makasini

It’s pleasant on here tonight.
Nothing like a good signing to lift the forum vibe.

I don't think Bird will play 13.. not as a starter anyway. That's why I don't have him as a replacement for him

I think our pack will be this for now:

8. May
9. Api
10. Klemmer
11. Bateman ??
12. Samuela
13. Seyfarth

Bench:
14. Da Silva
15. Pole
16. Hunt
17. Bird

Then if we lose Bateman I think we will recruit either a Lock or Second Rower. Seyfarth will start in the position we don't recruit.. e.g. if we sign Hetherington then Seyfarth would start at second row.

Bird at 17 gives us adequate cover for every position but hooker. This is where Da Silva comes in at 14 for me. If no injuries then Bird comes on at lock and gives Seyfarth a break.

I think if we lose Bateman, Seyfarth will go to second row and Johannssen to front row, May to 13.
Bird on the bench would be sensational, can cover just about everywhere. I'd have Latu instead of TDS though, covers more and a better player.

Is this one of the best recruitment drives (If not the best) by the Tigers in our history. When was the last time we signed this many top grade proven players?

The likes of Skelton, Turuva, May, Luai, Hunt and Bird has me excited.

 

[Tito Santana]

Need a back rower and a centre now.

 

[Tito Santana]

Chuck Taylan in the centres and it looks good

Are a chance of getting him? We have his brother now.

We’re becoming the family club.

Any word on Fatu Lainu?

TDS - Michael Lichaa MkII.

I'm hoping Tim Johannssen turns out to be a gun 2nd rower?

Seyfarth is depth. Surely

The May boys have already said they'd love to all (all 3) be at the same club one-day .

The eldest I don't want.

Tim has mad eyes - which is a good thing! Similar to Terrell. I think these two will be a scary combo!

Anyone able to post the "Inside Wests Tigers $4m roster overhaul" from Brent Read. Another behind a paywall.

Skelton is not proven, Bird is a bit of a risk. He’s the type of signing we have been making for years. Turuva is good, but I’m reserving judgement on him until he isn’t on the end of the backline of the best team in modern history. May could be anything, and Luai is Luai. Overall, it’s pretty good, but without Luai, it’s definitely not remarkable.

Very different was past signings. May and Luai are in their prime (at around 25-26 yrs old). Perfect for a club with so many promising juniors.
