Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

on field the latrell is a gun player, he would walk in to our centre spot and push Averillo to a wing.
This would make the team much stronger than it is currently.
One player who is worth the gamble if souths do let him go.

Give up your Latrell rant mate, no one wants him and he would be a terrible signing for the price he would cost

Going against the grain here but you simply don't play and dominate the number of origin and international games Latrell has by being "lazy". Especially in this day and age.

I am not advocating for signing him and many of the criticisms of his on-field persona are valid. He is also busted and past it, but you just don't reach the level of elite sport he has if you are "lazy".

Hes like Hammer....doesnt get as involved as much as he should especially when he was at fullback...not that easy for a centre.
People mistake this for laziness

Market Watch: Perth Bears sign Wests Tigers utility Heath Mason
Tyson Jackson - Nov 10, 2026 2:03PM

The Perth Bears have signed Wests Tigers utility Heath Mason for their inaugural season in 2027.

After contract negotiations with the Tigers throughout the last couple of months, Mason and the club chose to part ways, with the local junior moving to Perth next year.

Mason’s pending arrival in Perth may confuse Tigers fans after CEO Shaun Mielekamp was asked about the future of both Mason and back-rower Tony Sukkar during an online forum.

Mielekamp confirmed on the forum that announcements were coming for both players, which fans had misconstrued as both being re-signed.

Code Sports understands that Sukkar will be retained by the club for the 2027 season, while Mason’s announcement was to confirm his departure.

Once viewed as a future fullback at the Tigers, Mason has taken up the Bears’ 28th roster spot following the club’s decision to release Zac Lipowicz from the first year of his development deal for 2027.

BB, who are you replacing Sukkar with? He has performed a role for WTs at a difficult time when we lost KPP. Having depth is a key to success. We don't have depth so sending a low cost and able young player who has done well for the club to the UK appears to be against what Marshall is working towards. We have not seen the best of Sukkar yet but he has done well. Let's see how he comes ahead under our new assistant. As for Seyfarth, there would be any number of teams including the Warriors who imo believes he brings high work rate, energy at a low coast to the squad. He's a valuable team player.

Sukkar is maybe our 7th choice prop. I'd put him on a development contract and use his top 30 spot to sign a backup second rower from a club with a plethora of them. Most clubs do actually have back rowers, we should have indentified several throughout the season and targeted them aggressively. Why is it we don't have any back row prospects across our top30 grades? Just Sam and kpp.
It's a bit late to start doing so now, but hey what can you do when you have a bunch of amateurs managing our recruitment

I don't know much about his junior days but Roberts strikes me as more of a middle too...

Would love some more mobile, skillful backrowers at the club. Godinet still has a long way to go.

Exactly.
Both Roberts and Sukkar (and Seyfarth+Sione) have the mobility of a 200 year old elephant. They're all exclusively props. We need back rowers with more skill and athleticism.
