Adam deserves a better deal than that on offer allegedly.

An established first grade that is in our top 17.

He's also shown the club a lot of respect by wanting to stay and calling out Richo when he already has a bigger deal with the dragons.
How would you feel if the club is offering less than what they signed bud. I really hope he stays. Clubs needs guys thst have been here fir a while to want to stay

I was surprised with thst signing considering we have Bud in same position that we're paying 80% of his wage throw in Maddens wage to do the same thing. If Wayne plays him I can't see why we couldn't put good coaching into bud he's only a pup with potential. Sorry can't work this out for the life of me

I think most people see Jock as a bit of a game manager whereas I’m not sure Bud is that character. Madden is a logical foil for Luai to free up his game.

Both are big, tall, strong and fast, everything you generally want in an edge back rower.
The issue is neither of them use their size and speed to advantage.
If we have the coaching staff to change their mindset and get them playing with good energy and aggression we will have very good players on our hands, but the fact that their current clubs were not able to get it out of them is a concern.
It obviously means we are not looking at established versatile edge back rowers such as Siosifa Talakai or Simi Sasagi, so we are relying on these lower cost project players to play to their maximum potential and challenge for a position in our NRL 17.
Roberts absolutely destroyed our Flegg team about 5-6 weeks ago, so he’s got plenty of talent, but he doesn’t always seem to get out of 1st gear.

Maybe first gear is enough for him at the competition level he’s at ? Lets hope he can shift a few here in Tigertown.
 
DT: “Adam Doueihi is poised to accept a revised two-year deal with Wests Tigers now trying to find the salary cap money to retain Charlie Staines, Brent Naden and Reuben Porter. Doueihi's imminent retention and the recent arrival of Mavrik Geyer from Penrith and young Ethan Roberts from the Sydney Roosters has put the squeeze on Wests Tigers' salary cap.”

Geyer was told he wasn’t getting another contract, and I dare say not many other clubs would have been interested

Although I like most are want bigger name, both are kids Geyer has the size and forwards develop as the get older . I think the 12 months is a good signing to gauge if they have potential.
It would be as obvious to Richo and Benj that we are lacking a couple of quality forwards I think Richo waiting for the right players to become available. I expect plenty of movement and years end .

We want to retain those 3?
 
Modman said:
Yeah but what abt the fact we need 2 quality forward for the starting side that's what needs to be addressed. What we have isn't enough.

Iv got no doubt that will be sorted, we also need our depth sorted real bad. We can have a great top 20 but our talent past that falls off a cliff, in a long season where we want to remain competative, our depth is vital. It's been a massive issue for years for us. Now there is an attempt to rectify it shows Richo knows what is required and what he's doing.

Porter? Surely not 😂😂😂 honestly find it hard to believe it would be anything other than a NSW Cup contract.

Even then a slight head scratcher, but who knows the guy could the ultimate professional, helps the young guys etc.

Staines and Naden I can see the merit of, we need some back up outside backs. Just depends on the salary really. 200/225 and under good value, anything above - particularly for Naden - not sure they are worth it.

I would suggest they have looked who we have off contract & taken a stab... We haven't got TayMay locked in for next year. That's priority 1... Naden or Staines maybe... But only one of them... Porter no given he hasn't played NRL this year & is only a development deals currently

I think maybe the DT is making some assumptions there.
