16 try involvements in 12 games tells me your Lobb suspicions might be a little off. if anything he's done a solid apprenticeship and has been a victim of his circumstance, in which the first grade coach has a close relationship with a certain underperforming half. I've heard the player in question is like a son to him.

Don’t be one of those dudes who fervently defends reserve graders mate.

Situation in the clubs eyes might be malleable, depending on movement prior to the end of the month might dictate what type of a contract he's on. If nothing else falls out of the treee, maybe the club upgrades his contract from the one they've given him now.

The club should not rush to give Taylan a top 30 contract... do it at the end of the year after he has proven himself

I think AD can move into lock in 2-3 years . I think he needs to be an edge forward first . And that’s where I’d be saying to him to start moving his game towards . His improvements in defence , and his desire for work , as well as he can still do that ad-lib stuff / offer a 4th choice kicker, means he definitely has value .
He needs to work with a plyometrics trainer/ sprints coach to help him with his explosion off the mark and into and through contact . But that seems like he’s still having confidence issues / still coming to terms with how big and massive he is .
He’s an absolute unit , but especially in attack , seems to have forgotten it .
We need more out of the left edge centre in attack . At least 4-5 times on Sunday , and 3-4 times in most games , there’s been half chances presented to him/ 1 on 1 opportunities with his centre , and he hasn’t been able to do anything .

I don't disagree with what you have written but it will be a players' market and Doueihi will be picked up by another team as a back due to his experience and ability to play multiple positions in the backline.
 
No to Tyrone. He sucks.

We can drop Doueihi guys. He doesn't have to be in our 17. He's worked hard from his injuries and has a go but we can also call it what it is and admit he sucks. Good depth player for the top 30, not much more.
 
Anyone recall the UK half George Williams? I recall the Dolphins may have been chasing him to partner Katoa. I believe he was one of the best UK halfbacks and was disappointed he had a falling out at the Raiders.
 
Wests Tigers have signed Taylan May for the remainder of this season and are heaping pressure on Brisbane to reach a deal for Adam Reynolds as they wait in the wings with a contract for the Broncos playmaker.

The Tigers finalised a train-and-trial contract with May on Tuesday morning as they prepare to unite the former Penrith back with his brother Terrell for at least the remainder of this season.

In the background, the Tigers also remain in the mix for Reynolds as they look to poach the 34-year-old from the Broncos next season.

Brisbane have been locked in talks with Reynolds over a one-year extension but the Tigers have made their interest known and it is understood they have tabled a more lucrative deal as they look to lure him back to Sydney.

It is understood that Reynolds could make a call as early as this week. May, meanwhile, completed a medical at the Tigers on Monday before signing on the dotted line with the club on Tuesday morning.

The Samoan international has been without a club since parting ways with Penrith last year after being charged over domestic violence allegations.

The charges were withdrawn three months ago and May has since spent time in a mental health facility undergoing treatment.

The Tigers had a long-standing interest in the 22-year-old. Chief executive Shane Richardson met May when the charges were first withdrawn, prior to the outside back checking himself in for treatment.

The talks resumed recently after he checked out of the mental health facility. Souths coach Wayne Bennett also showed an interest in May and he was given a tour of the club’s Heffron Park headquarters.

However, the Tigers have won the battle to secure his signature.

Taylan preferred our COE over the Heffron Park HQ facility.
