It’s the or otherwise part that bothers me.
We’ll probably end up with a list like we had at the start of the year with contracts offered to and rejected by Horsburgh and Hetherington…
Possibly , however if kept inhouse which it seems to be it will only be speculation.
I like many on the forum want to see some good signings given we have lost plenty of players with few in return.
Some of the suggestions from Demps earlier which gives us depth and hopefully players that want to play for us are what I believe is where we will be, not the David Fifita big name players even though that would be great and what we need
Whilst we have until June 30 to have the squad finalised I believe players like Galvin will still count as part of the squad numbers even though he has left.
Tyrone May - he'd make a "good" utility. He was a part of a grand final winning team just a few years ago. Toiling away in super league. I could see him being a Kurt Mann type player, which would benefit us.
Taylan May - uniting the trio brothers. This would be great for training and Taylan strengthens a weakness we have. Has that sort of mongrel we kind of lack in the backs. We've seen how the Fainu bros love being at the same club. The May bros would really benefit us, brotherhood is something special.
Suli Pole - Fonuas brother. Come join the pack lad. He's only young, so we can develop him in the lower grades & hope for the best. Good prospect.
Kai Pearce-Paul - it's all been said, he's being mis used at Newcastle. He would be a dynamic option in our backrow and I could see his attacking skills really opening up at the Tigers. Get the deal done.
Krystian Mapapalangi - this will be your next favourite player. 1 to 6, he can cover it all. He should be elevated to top 30 and fill in when needed, however I could see him making a centre position his own. The kid is a very talented player. Otherwise he's an upgrade on our centre depth, with some likely departing.
Harrison "Harry" Hassett - those who watch the lower grades will know the name. Played first grade the other week at the Panthers and scored a try. Looks like a promising prospect and will strengthen our backrow depth. Good bench option & won't break the bank.
Lazarus Vaalepu - Samoan prop in the Melbourne system. Off contract. Big lad and we need some props badly. Very handy player that would fit in within what were building.
Viliami Fifita - 24 year old prop at the Dragons, came through the Manly system with the Fainu bros. Another big lad. Would be a welcome addition to our pack in an area we need desperately to bolster.
