Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Seems to me Matai has been treading water here forever,
Can't imagine he's worth perservering with with Madden and Andrews here.
You need these type of players in NSW Cup for depth and to deliver the required NRL structures at that level. He is a very good ball player & runner, just had some defensive deficiencies to work on. A pre-Xmas train & trial with the NRL squad may have done him wonders. Let's see how he comes up.
 
Just the news we needed🤦
He said he has league goals and union is a down 5he track thing. A little bit different to “open to union” . If his goals are premierships and rep honours for the tigers , then we have a lot to look forward to .

He would be silly not to be open to it, or any option. All players say this kind of thing to maximise contract value. He is going to be a hot commodity in 2027 regardless if its union or league. All he really said is that it is an option and even mentioned that his passion is Rugby League.

For the Tigers and Benji, the most important thing over the next few years is to create an environment he wants to be in and a club he wants to be a part of moving forward. Get his development right and get the team into the top 8. That is how you re-sign him and hopefully for less that any other code or NRL club offers.

Champion @Canadian Club - you've nailed it for retention of all players.
No one wants to bust a gut without job satisfaction/achievements.
 
Maverick has signed with Perth. Has informed the club.
If he’s secured a multi year deal and spot in the 17, then good on him. Something he probably wasn’t going to get here.

He’s got KPP and Samuela in front of him, with Godinet taking up that first second rower up in 2027. Sukkar and Roberts may also be pushing for spots depending on their development this season.
