@balmain-boy yeah heard some good things about him and watched a few of games he’s played in.

@Tigerlily If Matulino, Packer & Matterson are Gonski for 2020 then who are the next 3 BIG Humans that will fill the VOID?

Viliame Kikau would be my first pick then David Fifita and Ryan Papenhuyzen

Maybe another fluff piece, but for what its worth Gold Coast are possibly weighing up an offer to Reynolds for 2020. I think it would be a good fit for them while they try to change the culture at the club.

@ElleryHanley Like Hiroti, handy player.

 

[weststigerman]

Looking at nsw cup stats Hiroti finished with most line breaks and tries from only 19 games. Haven’t seen much of him but that’s gotta be a good start, and only 20. Odd that Souths would release him.

Hopefully he’s not another Jennings.

No he isnt he can actually run not just waddle

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

1 Taumalolo
2 Kikau
3 Taupau
4 Taukeiaho

 

[TheDaBoss]

FWIW
Mawene Hiroti and Billy Brittain to leave Souths and sign with Wests Tigers.

That is from aSouths poster on another forum.

What positon does hiroti play again?

Hiroti is a fast, goal kicking winger with his size who played for both the Aussie schoolboys and nz u18s. Could certainly add something to the squad.

Souths can have there try scoring prodigy jennings back ?

Maybe this is the only way we get value out of the Matto release: You can have him, but you have to pay a good price for Reynolds.

The young fella should be able to transfer some of those line breaks to first grade, whereas I cannot recall Jennings making any this season.

Yeah, if they have the cap dollars, which are said to be as similarly tight as ours.

Zane Tetevano (the unlucky player dropped from the GF to make way for Friend) is up for grabs, won’t be at the Roosters next season from what I hear. Wouldn’t it be great if we could actually get a player like this instead of having to rely on fringe first graders all the time.

JWH a possibility of going also, though most likely Penrith bound - they always seem to pick up the best forwards then still somehow play like crap!

 

[TopTiger]

@Spud_Murphy - Zane would be great but Robinson has already stated that JWH won't be going anywhere however, these days things change from one day to the next re player movements.

You really want a player that repeatedly bashed his girlfriend? I'd rather come last every year than have a guy like him join us. He is a complete low life.

I have no knowledge of this event. Was he convicted/ going guilty of this?

Was sentenced to 9 months jail but the jail time was overturned on appeal. He's the lowest of the low.

@avocadoontoast agree i know her personally so would be tough to support the tigers after that and I have supported them for 35 years

I think in one of the cc games he almost had a break - could have been his arm or left leg.

No I tell a lie, he would have to do something to get a break, maybe it was a trip coming off at half time.
