ill die on the samuela is done hill


What is meant by this?

It means that he will stake his reputation that Samuela has signed an extension with our club.

 

[Demps]

Bro the suggestions stopped when everyone realised no player signing can fix us🤣

Just gotta build that competitive squad

Hes very confident Samuela signs is what it means

Think the main concern isn't the deal mate, it's whether he can keep his head and not blow a gasket.

If he reoffends, he'll go back to jail. Why so much concern about that?

Just think of the media frenzy, oh well, guess by now we should be immune to that.

Wests Tigers PR manager, busiest person in the universe!

The boys on Faithful last night said there are some murmurs about Rocco Berry on our radar to add to centre depth.

Going to Melbourne apparently 🙁

I'd imagine it would be a media frenzy regardless of whether he is on a train and trial or not...his brothers play with us, so by default we'd be connected to it anyway.

Frankly Benji is the best crisis manager in the NRL the way he fronts the media.

At the moment yes, but the gloss will start to wear off if he doesn't start winning games in the near future.

With Averillo incoming and Samuela + Latu likely getting a top up, we'll need a few value for money contracts to round out our top 30.

Jake Averilo > Starford Toa
Jack Attard > Heath Mason
Tony Sukkar > Extension
Tyrone May > Jarome Luai / Mav Geyer
Suli Pole > Charlie Murray
Josese Lanyon & Jared Haywood > Top 30
Mellars & Kayliss from NZ > Lualilii brothers
Bunty Afoa > 1 year extension for depth
Sione Finau from Raiders > William Craig

Or look at some of the cup lads to see who's impressed and worth a shot.

You’d give Sukkar an extension demps ? Maybe but not in his current role . Surely he drops down the depth charts .

The raiders do look like fertile ground . There’s 2-3 blokes depth there you could maybe jag .

I like Sukkar and he's continuously getting better.

Downside is Isaac is his manager.

He's great depth, tbh.
Samuela and KPP are the starters.
Then we've got Alex Seyfarth, Ethan Roberts and Sukkar as back up.

Don’t you reckon that after this year it proved that it wasn’t great depth though ?

I think Roberts looks promising and Sukkar is only getting better....

If we can jag a few better options, all for if, but not much available and these guys aren't costing a lot.

Yea . I feel like all the I wanna say Aus schoolboys level talent , who hasn’t been identified as building around so eg. The lualiii bros and Mason for us . Will all go to the bears .
Like they’ll be shit for 2 years and then by 2030 will have all this talent. I think that’s their modus operende .
Like the chiefs will buy the best 30 year olds and build an all star squad , but the bears will try to build from within .
I say all this because I think the bears will have a leg up on the 22 year olds who for whatever reason have had a slow start to their nrl career .
What gives me hope is our cup and flegg teams seem to be win dependant on who gets the gun flegg players that week , like Heyward etc . Maybe the Tautua bros , Duncombe , and JTM are closer than we think .
I know next year Lanyons little bro will be a ball mainstay and apart of the flegg team . So there’s at least one back with some hype around him .

He has put his life on the deal is done for Samuela. Can only hope, we really need a firing full season from all the Fainu’s next year.

If the AD lay down sally incident is swept under the rug. Latu and Ad will make a decent combination. Hopefully Latu can unlock our edges and Bula as well
