Tallis Duncan is re-signing w Souths figure looks to be $750,000 with ratchets for 3 years

Probably where Sam will be money wise

He is robbing himself isn’t he?
Surely he could get 900k from quite a few clubs?
If we can get Samuela to sign for the same amount, we will be doing very well.

Yeah probably, though playing with Haas & under Wayne might be worth taking a bit less

Thread 'It's time to take the fight back to HBG'

Jun 9, 2026

It's their fault we're in this mess. It's their fault our pathways are a shambles. It's their fault the club is the most underfunded club in the competition.

We don't produce good players. On the occasion we do they leave so they can actually develop.

Our owners steadfastly refuse to invest in Wests Tigers, and even the Wests Magpies for that matter. They spend the bare minimum to keep the club going. That's it. The bare minimum is not sufficient anymore.

In SG ball and Harold Matts we have 2 sides, whereas most clubs have one. Yet still all other clubs spend more on their one club...

Sean OSullivan signs with Kevie Walters at St Helens

HBG.
Yes they are not very good at hiring the right people.
That doesn’t surprise me as it seems their board is mainly made up of lawyers, company directors and business owners who highly likely know far less about about rugby league than you, I or many others on this forum.
The oeople who were art of the Independent Board were in the same bucket, none of them were true rugby league people.
We need an independent board, but it should include people who actually live and breathe rugby league, not solely people with good business acumen.

More like failed ex musicians , real estate agents and “business owner” ie. not very much / retired .

It does nothing for me

Prefer the actual Rocky theme song Gonna Fly to Eye of the Tiger.

 

[Dr_Ice]

It's so old and so overused .....maybe Under 14s .....how could you be psyched to watch a game listening to that
Enter Sandman ...would get far better participation from the crowd to get the team pumped every week

Old and overused, then mention Enter Sandman

 

[Dr_Ice]

Tigers live in the jungle, I like them both but would prefer Welcome to the Jungle running out as would many of the younger supporters and they are the future.

Maybe Eye of the Tiger could be played at the end of the game after wins but need to get more so we don't forget the words lol.

I just did a sample of my school aged kids and all three prefer Eye of the Tiger

Somebody introduce them to Guns n Roses rock songs, might change their preference lol.

*should be money wise.

Ive got a bad feeling he will be on a fair bit more...

But Enter Sandman gets the crowd involved , Eye of the Tiger put you to sleep

It will be around 850k-900k.

You know the Sandman literally puts the sleeping dust in your eyes?

Won’t PVL step in to ensure Souths pay “market rate” like he did with Hudson Young and PNG?

 

[Tom Shines]

Once a player was washed up in the NRL his next move was ESL, it would appear there is now a destination for players who don’t want to up root and head to the north of England, that’s the Weststigers. I guess come November we might get a better idea who is coming to join our ranks for 2027 outside the couple who have been announced, but I got the feeling the news will be as usual, underwhelming

Free agent players for 2027 have been on the market almost 12 months already …keep expectations low …

Im more interested to see who they are signing for 2028 come November …
