He looks fitter here then when he was playing

 

[jadtiger]

The problem is he has a serious knee injury.

One of the things I have realised with the Tigers being a poor club, we don't do rehab as well as Easts or Cronulla.

I really hope he doesn't come here for our sakes and his.

Unfortunately you are correct which is why the dollars spent outside of the cap can make you a more consistent winning club (medical rehab is without doubt one of the most vital areas we don't spend enough money in).

It’s great he looks fit but will he be as effective with less size, he was a bit bigger in the early days at manly and was very effective

 

[TigerBurnsy]

Weve got a couple encroaching on $1mill...and worth nowhere near that
Theyre not even close to being in the SOO conversation..am talking about Bula and Tryrell..good players .but
And anyone half decent and who can work with Benji gets a premium...Averillo...!Makasini.!Latu!Taylon!
All have merit..and its a tough market I know..
Im not even sure if we can afford Samuela,as weve spent most of Luai's $$ already
Id really like Richo back...

Richo was great but I’m sure in an interview he said that Shaun did a large chunk if recruitment and cap stuff, so would the player valuations really be much different, surely they had plans in place to resign these boys before Luai left

Also probably part of why our players are perennially injured, the only one I can remember in a while who had a long term injury and came back looking better was ad

We replaced his roster spot with Tupou, whether or not anyone likes it that seems the likely case

Yeah I just think we could use both. Given we have Toa, Bula, Makasini and AD all playing busted there is a very good chance we need them by the end of this year.

Hit the weights and eat up if he needs weight , I’m sure club has given him some targets but I don’t think there would be a big plan for him to play anytime soon , probably see how he goes for 3 or 4 weeks under instructions of training , weights , diet , plus he will,need plenty contact training as he hasn’t played in a year , but good start so far

We are signing his older brother Richard.

Is he related to Lightening McQueen, we could use the speed.

 

[hank37w]

Lol that’s absolutely terrible. 3 haven’t even debuted, one has played 4 games in 2 seasons. Another has looked suspect at best, even if he is a rookie. And the 7 seems to have the makings of a career bench player at best under Marshall. Yeah, that’s depth alright.

Depth alright, we're in deep sh#t.

Who are you?

Your wost nightmare...

Didn't even recognise him...

 

[EllisFan]

It highlights the fact we must be paying crazy overs for most of our roster as we are been told there is very little left in the kitty to chase quality proven NRL standard players

Anyone who thinks you don’t pay overs following three wooden spoons is cracking jokes.

 

[mtd#2]

Do we dare hope for another player coming as well?

Feels like its too little too late

Some on here would have you believe we were/are a destination club and able to pull the likes of walsh and hass on unders 😂😂.. the draw card being lidcombe oval and watching Reggie's play in the magpies strip

 

[EllisFan]

Just Samuela & Latu Fainu + Fonua Pole to go to lock away long-term.

Be great if the club can do this over the next few weeks and our core for 2028 is set.

I hope we are looking to upgrade on Pole. May needs a more consistent foil. He’s been ok last few weeks but I’m not trusting it’ll be maintained. He’s still young but he frustrates with his errors and defensive lapses.

 

[EllisFan]

People crying about our koe depth next year. Compare it to the penrith koe backline. We arent in a bad spot at all.
The key is making sure we actually develop them.

We’re dealing with the inconsistency of youth in the backs. You have to back them once you’ve committed to them as your future.

Forwards is our issue, not enough quality in the club.

 

[Wtiga]

After we sign Curtis Rona......

Awesome when’s that ?

If some of the reported figures are true, we have improved a lot in our cap management. But we’re coming from 20 lengths last.

last heard 48 hours .. someone did mention 72 hours though

I think pole heads south next deal , back home I feel , we should be shopp8ng for his replacement now
