Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I could be mistaken but I think it was Samuela and not Sione that played under 19's SOO.

He was man of the match Sione and had big wraps

 

[Go_You_Good_Things]

Yeah, all the rubber necks slowing down on the way past to have a look at the train wreck that Holman Barnes Group created. 🤡

They've been slowing down for a look LLLOOOOOONNNNGGGGG before a couple of months ago.

Sione is a must keep for mine. Love everything he brings and he's only going to get better. Him, Pole and Terrell could become a very damaging middle rotation over the next few years

 

[batboy]

I think Adam D is the most underrated.

Good half back. Our best kicker

I watched the dogs game and he destroyed them

Miss the Parra Game?
Still unproven at 7 (Having played 5 Games in the halves last year,1 at 6)
Probably the best option until Latu is fit.

No one really underates Doueihi,
He's always had Talent, Just missing consistency, a fixed position and a decent run on 2 legs.

and a heart at times!

Yep . He’s finally found his shoulders… and lo and behold everyone gets behind him . You can’t be that massive and that bad at defence . People won’t cop it . Your Bryce Cartwrights of the world end up being absolutely hated .
I always thought he was too slow for the halves , but that sprints coach in 24 offseason really got speed in those legs . Whilst I ultimately think lock will be where he finishes his career , if this is the new normal re. AD in defence especially , I have zero issues with him in the halves .

I very happy to keep all 3 here at the Tigers

Possibly all 4 here in the future 🤔

We have done extremely well if Sione Fainu re-signs with us for 400k per season.
I think we are still doing well if we have to increase our offer to 500k per season.

Agree
$400k is a bargain compared to what we have paid others over the last decade.

Let's hope Sione sees it the same way and signs

I agree, there was some insistence that the Fainus from Manly were paid the same back in 23, so it may be a case of saving $100k to lose something else.

Some goss from an insider staffer (cannot say who) that WT are monitoring Lomax situation and may make a play. Also are interested in E Katoa from Melbourne. This was told to my son. Thought I’d share in Rumours

Interesting.

Lomax seems all but a done deal to Storm, although Parra is playing hard ball.

Both handy players but I don't think we'd get either, no matter the interest.

Wonder if the rumour came from some dude after a few to many frothies and got the clubs mixed up.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

No interest in Lomax. Doesn’t matter how good he is, the moment he gets his nose out of joint, or 360 gets off the ground, he’ll be gone. Not the first player to ever be out for himself no matter what. But there aren’t many that have been that way as blatantly.

Mmm, maybe not to the same extent but Sony Bill says hello, he was always searching for the best wind when out sailing.

Hope not. Lomax seems like he'd be a bit of a culture killer for our group considering how tight they appear.

His me me bullshit aside, from a football perspective he reminds me a bit of Gagai. Pulls on an origin jersey and plays like a world-beater. Pulls on a club jersey and goes down a peg or two.

Can’t see Storm letting Katoa go

 

[Vicious]

I’ve always been a fan of Zac Lomax playing ability and I think you would see him be happy and play his best club football as a permanent right centre.
I would love to see him playing for Wests Tigers and he has openly advised he was a Wests Tigers and Benji Marshall fan growing up,
In saying this I cannot see it happening as the contract value he would be looking for would be outside our budget for a right centre and the condition of the Eels releasing him would remain the same, they would want a high quality player in return.
We cannot afford to give any rival club any of our best players, so it simply would not work for us.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

If he has any sense, he will put his brain first and not footy, highly doubtful he will play this season and may not be ever, such a shame a good player.

 

[Wezt]

We would have to swap one of our players for Lomax
