Hopefully you mean Taylan.

I think Manu, in his absence, is becoming an immortal!
IMO most players with speed lose that speed and effort slowly as they age. [Addo-Car the exception, but a winger, not a centre]
I think his best days are over, time to to find a new dream.

Tigers 8th spot right now

We can only hope that when we start getting our main guys missing back we can start going up ladder again. Mind you, the long term injuries are a concern.

you are right Herbert and Toa are so much better lol

I would take manu for sure

Lol...they're stuck with them both for another 5 .5 years

It’s just money from their Leagues Club and Laundy… also coaches don’t seem to get paid out years of their contracts anymore when getting the sack …Even tight ass Desy never got paid the full amount…depends on the fine print ..

To'a and Herbert are not my dreamboats. More like shipwrecks.

Interestingly, Galvin is beating Luai in most stats this year. I'm not a a fan of Lachlan as he comes across as an impetuous child, however Jarome doesn't stand by his word, which is even worse.

Galvin has also played 4 more games than Luai at this point….

The amount of glazing Tyrone gets, it wouldn’t surprise me if he doesn’t.

Who has glazed him? A few mentioned at the time maybe sign him as a squad player if it assisted to keep his brothers, can’t remember too many saying what a star player he is

One trick pony

Was thinking last night all he has is he's fit.

Had me fooled and excited when he was here, so I'm not going to say I never liked him or anything.

And I know I really shouldn't, but I do take great pleasure in the fact that in the time since he left the bulldogs have gone to shit and the tigers have improved (I have this medical condition... I can't remember the last two weeks of NRL...).

That bombed try last night was just the best... 🤣

this game is vital against manly

Why do you say it is vital?

I don't see it as a litmus test by any means. I don't expect them to win, but do want a return to the 'beast mode' style they seem to have lost the last couple of weeks, as well as their resilience. Think no Api is a big reason for this.

They just need to get through this period of injuries and suspensions and keep in touch with the 8 imo.

As many have said, depth players are exposing them, but all fit they can mix it with any team.

if we lose today we slip out of the 8
if we wij we can have g in there around the top 4.
we start getting troops back

At the start of the year I would have pencilled in a win against manly tbh
