And I would like to thank Gus very much for saving the WEST TIGERS around $6ml.
Two middles who are currentlly available for 2027 in Liam Henry and Sam Hughes were both underwhelming tonight.
Watching them both I couldn’t help but think what do they do that Alex Twal doesn’t do and they do not have the x-factor of Pole or Sam Fainu.
I think most of us agree that signing another middle is much needed, but it’s currently slim pickings.

We may that player in Sione. I just have this feeling that what we are starting to see, may only be scratching the surface - ‘26 may be his break out year. Very much a dark horse.

I'd be making an offer to Penrith's Lindsay Smith. Big bloke that can play prop and lock. Has played in the last two winning grand finals and represented Australia last year. Lives in Sydney, so relocating not an issue. Romey, Api, and Tino could have a word in his ear. With Penrith's cap situation we may be able to outbid them. I think he would round off our pack nicely and with our young guys coming through could help set us up for the next 3 years.
Although we dont really know what sum was offered because galvin/moses didnt look at it. Wouldn't it be choice if Richo, knowing galvin would leave regardless, played moses/gould by pumping up the offer to a ridiculous level so they would have to pay big for a lemon? I like to see it this way.
I think theyve just replaced Giteau as well....saw an article the other day...or maybe Giteau is replacing someone.
Lots of them around canberra way theyre like the furners and crokers...all local that dont seem to move too far
This theories been floated often...not above the realms of possibilty

If he goes to Souffs hope he is as productive for them as Mitchell has been in recent times.
800k is complete madness. He’s a middle of the road forward that every club has. I’d take Twal over him every day of the week.

The more I see what some players are on the more value I see in Twal.
Why pay a “name” overs to produce the same as our boy Twal.
Because he’s not a new shiny toy …

Our forwards are pretty complete in many ways.
Just need elite athletes, power runners or 'hard men'.
We don't have room to get all of those things. I still think that Zyon Maiu'u is worth a look- he's that hard running type, but also an elite athlete.
Is he a risk? Yes. Probably why I wouldn't want to spend insane amounts on him. But I see a world where he & Royce Hunt tear up the middle part of a game through brute force.
I think Twal, Sione, Pole & Seyfarth offer the prop rotation role minus the athlete/hard runner style, and Terrell May is practically our version of Yeoh now, just playing in the front row.
KPP will be the athletic defender type. Samuela is an impact type forward & hard man. Sukkar is a tackling type as is Mav Geyer.
WE lack that elite athlete though, which is what Zyon is.
