Adam Reynolds not ready to walk away from RL yet. Salary cap headache for Broncos. Perhaps we can help.

Reynolds or dce hopefully to partner Luai at 6
tell latu to Bide his time and learn from the best
I don't know what timeline I am now living in. But the amount Braith and I agree on is is uncomfortably increasing.

If TDS leaves you could have Latu on the bench every game and use him to replace API or the 7 , DCE plays 80 , Rey olds 60 , Appi 60
No - the game is going to crap in more ways than one

If Isaac Moses causes WT issues with Bula's future contract, I would be open to Cobbo taking the FB spot and getting mentored by his childhood hero Inglis.Cobbo open to leaving the Bronx

I agree the comp is still lopsided and the reserve grade is no different , not enough good talent to cover all teams and make them all competitive , 2 more teams is a lot of players most likely 60 more guys required , the NRL should focus on trying to make all teams even and also fix up the huge inconsistency in the refs , these sin bins and penalty issues plus that stupid bell for 6 more is rubbish .
If a team is off side and that bell rings should be a warning , 2 nd time bin a player , it will keep them on side .
Same for the play the ball , yesterday in Manly vPenrith there must have been 20 times players just rolled it under there legs with no attempt to use the foot , couple weeks ago penalty , yesterday nothing
Would be a great signing. Can play centre, wing and fullback.Cobbo open to leaving the Bronx

Very damaging player when he's on but to be fair, does sometimes have off weeks. Seems like a confidence player so maybe Benji is the guy to help him with that.
Get him at the right price and he'd be great.
If the club lets TDS go to market you can bet your bottom dollar he ends up at parra, easy solution to the situation would be to swap api and TDS roles around sign TDS for 5 years and Api for 2 with the final year in the clubs favour, sounds simple but weather it happens who knows, api has been nothing but brilliant but we got to keep our best juniors and TDS is 1 off them.

The impending exit of boom five-eighth Lachlan Galvin has rocked the Wests Tigers.
After playing a key role in the Western Suburbs Magpies grand final victory in Harold Matthews (under 17’s) two years ago, Galvin was viewed as the future at the Concord club.
Coach Benji Marshall has an immediate solution to remedy Galvin’s exit in rising rookie Latu Fainu, who is waiting in the wings to wear the no. 6 jumper alongside Jarome Luai in the halves.
But as a development club, the loss of Galvin, a Campbelltown junior, is a huge blow to the Tigers.
So, who is the new jewel in the crown of the club’s junior representative pathways?

Heamasi Makasini might not be a playmaker but the barnstorming centre is a prodigious teenage talent like Galvin.
One of the most sought after league and union prospects in the country, Makasini will turn 18 this year making him eligible for an NRL debut.
In the fullback ranks excitement is building at Concord about the youngster being compared to Storm superstar Ryan Papenhuyzen – the Tigers junior who slipped through the club’s fingers almost 10 years ago.
While generational talents like Galvin are hard to come by, the club has high hopes for a number of young halves impressing through the ranks like Sonny Edwards-Moeke and Marc Tannous.

Have they got a young half coming through or will they be making from for a DCE retirement plan?
With Reynolds age and niggles maybe he should give it away soon.
I think I remember reading on here years ago, that Adam was our jr who got injured and then we prioritised Brooks and didn’t resign Adam after his injury, so he went to souths? Do you know much about that Paws, or is that just not true?

I have reconsidered KPP since reading that Bullemore is managed by Moses, maybe all he needs is a fresh start and some new found Tigers spirit.
On that topic, I am so disappointed by the crap that has pervaded our club in the last few weeks. I had been feeling really excited by what I thought was a new culture building, driven by and around our fresh recruits. At last a competitive, winning attitude and an upbeat team mentality- a squad that were hungry for success. I was a ‘believer’ - WAS, but now I’m not so sure.
Now I’m beginning to sense the same shit “Tigers of old” vibe starting to sneak back in. This media storm has disconnected our group and we need to find and focus on what we were developing before otherwise we’ll be back on the bottom in a flash.

I hate advertising how good our juniors are. Do the DT do this with other teams.
Anyway thanks for posting it.
Any of those young blokes young reckon will actually make it?
They are absolutely stacked mate!
Coby Black, with Madden in filler role for the meantime.
Though in the short term you’d expect Mam to return and Hunt to partner him.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Reynolds go to the Titans, Dolphins or Dogs if he returns to Sydney.
Second part. That was Illias, Reynolds debuted earlier then Brooks and was SSTID.
