Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[clontarfkid]

Why would any other team take Brown at his asking price? He's not a halfback. He hasn't one games on his own. He is also in and out off games all last season.

Dylan Brown is not. Player you would build a team around sorry. He might be once he learns consistency, but he's A fair way off from that.

He won't leave. Think Galvin will stay if Jerome is here.

Jerome will make Galvin look like an absolute superstar..takes all the playmaking burden off him.which is gr8 for WTs
Which is also a plus and a minus,,,his greedy manager will want huge $$ long term
Issue with Galvin is at 6/3 whether he eventually grows into his body and becomes too slow for a 6 ..like Sironen jnr

As much as I would love Galvin to re-sign, we cannot be held to ransom by he or his manager and we have to be realistic about his price tag.
On the flip side you can’t blame him for wanting to see if the team improves and becomes realistic finals contenders in 2025 and beyond.
I am anticipating Latu Fainu to really break out and prove to be a player we cannot leave out of top 17 in 2025. If that eventuates it will be fascinating to see if Benji finds a way to fit both he and Galvin into our starting line up,

Latu will be our X-factor if given the chance.

I get your point, but there is every chance Galvin remains in the halves for a long time to come as he is a lot fitter, a lot smarter and a lot classier than a young Sirro junior.
The puzzle will be fitting Luai, Galvin and Latu Fainu all into our starting team. I have my theories on how it could be done and finding a way could determine the teams success over the next few seasons.

Bateman got a contract

Keaon kolomatangi , olokaute and Liam Martin

While all these signings would be great, he specifically asks for ‘realistic options’ & you include a guy signed until the end of 2027 & another signed until 2031 lmao

Might not be a half back but if you think a team like the dragons with Flanagan & Illias wouldn’t offer a representative 5/8 $1m I think thats completely wrong. $1m isn’t as prestigious as it used to be, we will see more & more jump into the club in the next few seasons as the salary cap increases

We just have to wait and see how his first serious girlfriend changes him

Better start introducing him to the WT cheerleaders.(Might mean breaking a rule or two).

Scares me parra got 900k free for an upcoming free agent young gun 6 who grew up a parra fan

Depending on the year they have they could be in a worse position than us though on the racks (hence why Brown may be looking to get out). Wouldn’t make sense for Lachy to go there then if he is serious about being in a team that can challenge. And we should be in a position to offer him a pretty good deal as well including upgrading the final 2 years of his current contract if he wants it.

 

[88]

Surely I’m not the only thinking it would be nice to know what Galvin’s intentions are ASAP am I? Brown would make a handy replacement if we need to find one.

Musical chairs. I’m also hoping Latu comes good as well. He has the potential to be class.

Having listened to the Presser yesterday. Richo was in great form

Im happy that these 3x are our latest signings

Three of the new Independent Directors Barry O’Farrell, Charlie Viola and Michelle McDowell.

Welcome to the Wests Tigers

Richardson said in the Board presser yesterday that 'success' in 2025 is running Top 10.

he also expects us to be pushing for Top 4 next year and says that we're 'a couple' players off having a Top 4 squad.

he said that our recruitment strategy will be assessed over the next 12 months as we look to take that next step.

Will be interesting to see what repercussions, (if any) come from not finishing that high on the ladder.

Why are we waiting till 2026 , we need players in the backrow now , we let papa and Bateman leave , yet not a replacement, we will get run over unless someone falls out of sky

Who are you to doubt Seyfarth and Tommy J?

Marshall will be the first coach sacked this year if we start slow. Richardson's not messing about this year.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Who's Tommy J? Is that Tim Johannssen? He can't play NRL until rd 10 or 11.

I know some posters here who will be devastated by that news.

hard to sign players at this time mate. I agree we need reinforcements but I don't anticipate we'll manage anything between now and Round 1.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

He’s so happy that he emailed 16 other clubs notifying them that he’s interested in hearing their offers.

And rugby I read the loyalty of yesteryear has long passed these days it's nothing personal just business LOL.

Is Richo not the best CEO we have had at getting things done let's hope his predictions eventuate.
