Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tiger Stripes]

By far the most promising and exciting Development list we have put together. Although, wouldn't surprise me to see Godinet upgraded and extended by the start of the 27 season.

I hope so with all the hype he is getting. NRL contract for 2027 but Mr Moses is his agent.
Seems to have a mature head and hopefully will not be unduly manipulated to unreasonable deals for one so young.
But he will have high ambitions, so WT will need to be going in the right trajectory to retain him IMO.
I think we are, so fingers crossed.
PS. The Panthers are buying a lot of players at the moment.
What has happened to their never-ending nursery of stars. All getting poached?
A lesson for the retention of our rising stars if the light at the end of the tunnel goes out.

Why didn't we sign him for NSW cup contact, would be peanuts and doesn't affect our cap

IMO because he’s past it.

The problem is he has proven to be at his worst for 70% of each season.
It’s hard to be confident that will change on past evidence.

2 seasons ago he was good for 1 good game a season.
1 season ago he was good for 2 good games a season.
This season he played 3 or 4 good games.

He's trending upwards. Next season surely 4 or 5 good games. The Luke Brooks of the centres.

Wasn’t there a thread and some back patting here about signing one of their kid fullbacks?

The club obviously think so, when he played that blinder in the indigenous allstars I thought finally we might get a decent season out of him.

But then he had that knee dislocation and everything went downhill afterwards, shame, never reached his potential.

For me Toa gets one more season to prove his worth or it's bye, bye baby bye, bye.

He's been playing NRL for 7 years. He is what he is. And he won't get better
