Nice deal if the money is right for KPP …seems a little to good to be true …but hope that’s the case ..

Oh no. You heard it hear first. TS. Api gone. These are the people we are dealing with here. GbT.

i get what you’re saying , and i feel bad saying it but douehi isn’t fast enough to be a centre. one speedy centre like taylan would be perfect to fill the spot until makasini is ready. maka still be a star , kinda already is , but needs time to develop and we need to win games now

Yeah douhei has a spot for us I just don't know where .

I doubt anyone buys Jarome. You'd need half an ex-panther squad around him in any case.

Seems like Cleary does too haha

 

[Odessa]

So it's fact? Official? Cause we read/heard it on the news. Okay. Thanks Api. You made all our fans happy. We goanna miss ya.

I think it would be true big $$$$ last contract I think he has 4 young kids Perth is a nice place less traffic and he's off contract in 27

Tiger's don't really have a say in it

 

[Moh]

is it just me or do others also want NO backs signings.

We have two stars on the horizon in Luke Luuali and Makasini, Luke ready now, Maka hopefully mid next season. Then we have other kids who will likely push for selection late next season.

Our current backline as selected this week, is top 8 standard, in my opinion, but mid term, 2 will drop out for injuries or because Maka and L Luuali push them out.

Other than adding Taylan, I agree.

Bang for buck and a damn good player.

Really hope this one happens - but yah, need forwards badly.

Api being linked with the Perth Bears …. On Channel 9 now ….said “ he is open to it”,,,

Said Perth is a beautiful place and Mal is a good coach …

Not a lot to go on haha …

Would imagine if he does leave to go over there …some quick pivoting back to TDS might happen here 😂👍

hopefully it’s the light at the end of the tunnel that tds needs to sign on…

 

[Lukic]

You hate him so much you tell blatant lies....you dont need to lie we can see your agenda
Luai went off with a shoulder injury

Doesn't change the fact he went off and the game totally changed with Cogger moving to 7 and Cleary to 6.

I don't hate him. He's a good 6. Just not a 7 and not a star.

Let’s hope they don’t lose them both like Teddy and Paps 👎…

I’m assuming Richo can get that sorted

Was just told Api will be the Perth Bears captain in 27

So the NRL are breaking their own rules and already poaching api who is not free to negotiate until,November

Looks like … I wonder what they will fine themselves?

Would be sad to see him go, but if we want to keep TDS, it’s a sacrifice that needs to be made.

 

[Camel2281]

Prefer Toa

Prefer Gagai to Douehi

Unless Tigers gave him permission

He’s taking unders to come and play at Wests Tigers and why wouldn’t he, we are the destination club.
A fit, fast and dedicated David Fifita and Taylan May soon to follow.

 

[Canadian Club]

Yeah douhei has a spot for us I just don't know where .

Ryan Papenhuyzen recently mentioned in his podcast that when he played juniors with Doueihi he played at lock and was a gun there.

I could see Doueihi filling the Jack Bird role off the bench. Coming on as a ball playing lock and covering the backline if there are any injuries.

Awesome was told big pay day captain 2 years contract

Api isn’t even allowed to talk to any clubs?

Yep,, probably tired of the losing culture at the Knights, and no doubt wants to improve his game through our superior coaching at the WT

I know that Taylan has alot of potential but I am genuinely concerned about his stability.

Ive seen ppl go through what I assume to be similar stuff, and they don't generally just go to rehab and come out "fixed".. Its usually a process over time.. and he'll probably fck up a few times along the way, so if we sign him, we do so accepting the risk it isn't going to be a smooth ride... We either be there as a support for him or we don't sign him at all.. there's no point throwing him a lifeline and having a 0 strikes policy, because i just don't think it's a reasonable expectation if what Ive read is to be believed.

I don't think this is as clear cut a signing as ppl make it out to be..

Jeez @Odessa a few days ago you were told TDS to the Eels too. This latest mail might change that otherwise we’ll probably have a dummyhalf combo of Manase Fainu & Jared Haywood in ‘27.
