Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Matterson was by far MoM Koe last week. Immediate upgrade for ability sake. Worth a short contract - I doubt he fits our culture though. And don’t want him used as pawn for anyone

Why would WTs assist the Eels with its salary cap?

We shouldn’t but cheap back up and likely keen for FG. I doubt it will happen but he is ahead of our depth

He'd be on at least reasonable money at the Eels and I suspect he'd rather play KOE on reasonable money for one year than accept a short term contract at WTs.

Not saying I have an inside word or anything, and maybe this has already come out, but I have heard that we are about to announce a few new signings in the next week or so, one of which has all happened quickly off the back of the Galvin saga. My money is on KPP to be coming here for 2026. Will be interesting to hear who the other/s are.

On Bye round Podcast Richo said we'd be announcing 2-3 external signings soon

Reynolds?

My god. This talk of Matterson. If he comes here, we haven't learnt a thing

I will be filthy.
People on here think Galvin is a snake. This guy is pure scum.

Yeah Richo said this the other day of the James Graham podcast

Must be players not contracted beyond 2025 which would make for a weaker bunch I’d have thought

Had a quick look and not the case there are some good options

Cobbo
Staggs
Hiroti
Stonestreet
KPP
Laybutt

I’d be happy with any of these, Broncs boys most unlikely I’d reckon

Plus the two May brothers or one probably likely to be part of it for us

One will be Tylan May.....100%

My guess the 3 signings are
1. Taylan May has been dropping hints that his new team will have Black and Orange colours.
2. KPP recently had a meeting with Benji and has been rumoured for a while.
3. Kobe Hetherington he agreed to come this year but Madge stopped that.
I haven’t heard anything about contracts for next year with Kobe and KPP with any team and that’s consistent with the way Richo works. Kobe is the one for me that has a question mark on it because we’ve heard rumours about a Halfback.

What Kobe does add is another prop as Twal could go back to prop where we have the least depth. Would be a good group.

Who knows what Richo has up his sleeve though.

Plus both Newcastle and Brisbane both have salary cap pressures and Richo said players become available because of that.

Offer Roosters new 5/8 Galvin's money, he is better than Galvin plus he is a good goalkicker as well.

Is May eligible to play this year if he does sign ?

Yes

People seem to be excited about this potential KPP signing.
Surely there has to be better options available, i am definitely not seeing what everyone else is hoping he brings to the Tigers.

I’m not excited by it just think it’s happening.

I hope KPP is not one of the signing , again he is very poor against the warriors, we can do better than this bugger
