Can someone shed some light on why we're after Farnworth? Every game i've seen of him he looks bog average. Looks all hype like Zac Lomax.

Don't you know ...because a stick is better that any player we have..

I'm very keen to get some new wingers but this bloke doesn't look to be an upgrade to me. He's fairly tall, that's it.

Tall fast and goal kicker. Hasn’t had much opportunity at broncos he’s mostly come off the bench. He’s got some talent and could turn into a good winger he’s only 20. Personally would prefer Saab though

The Dragons are going hard for Tom Dearden, he is contracted until 2021. Milford pulled the Broncos pants down by taking up his option for another year so they need to offload players or backload to be able to keep youngsters. The Tigers have requested talks with Flegler (under contract until 2021) & are also interested in Farnworth but he is waiting to see what the Broncos can offer.

Thomas Flegler would be great, I would leave Farnworth at Brisbane. Would like to see what Bradley, Abbey, Kei, Scolari have to offer first.

Same, im excited for kei and scolari

we have a lot of talented juniors coming through

They’re a while away and we need a winger pretty desperately. Out of those 4 Kei is the only one I’m super excited for

I haven't watched a lot of him. His size and step have been noticeable. He'd need to have speed as we are overrun in. the NRL squad with strong running backs who lack genuine pace.

I'm interested to see how Scolari progresses. He's very quick and runs the ball hard. He has that competitive nature about him.

Hope your right about flegler but doubt it

I actually said that the other day, we should enquire on Flegler, he will get bumped down the order now Lodge is full fit, he would be a great pick up, Farnworth could be good also

Why settle for Flegler when Fifita isn't even contracted yet...I'm sure he had a toy Tiger or knows someone who did as a kid..

He went to.Keebra like Mikaele and is from Ipswich like. Mikaele. Is that ok?

After Fifita add Munster

Can we just send some tigers staff to keebra park high every year and just sign players from their schoolboys team... they consistently produce freaky good players.

Most top players would already be on scholarship at Keebra. Best to recruit. them in. Qld, put. them scholarship and send them to. Keebra. As you know, there will be. two. Qld clubs tempting. them to stay which makes the enterprise problematic.

Same, I hope he's in Madge's future plans as he does possess plenty of ticker and is decently quick and strong. His competiveness kind of reminds me like a young Josh Mansour.

I'm also most excited by Kei. Loved what of the little bit I saw. Big and scored plenty of tries. He's definitely the pick for me.

Bradley - is tall and scored quite a few tries in CC and then lost a bit of confidence possibly end of the season. He deserves a chance. On a development so I suspect he does have considerable talent but need it brought through.

Abbey - sounds good and just needs to get through injury.

Scolari - needed this year in CC and JF in my opinion. Height (180cm?) is now an issue so I'm not convinced he'll be a winger. Speed, aggression, toughness, heart and defence - massive tick.

Hoffman - has played rep and looked the goods in opening game v Saints JF. Could be the smokey to play NRL this year.

All have talent but again - Kei is the one. Sadly, with Covid, the others may have to move on or wait a year or 2 at least to come through.

Is Hoffman on an NRL contract? He’s not listed on Wests Tigers website.

This x100.

Really hasn't showed anything, not a whole lot to him.

Within the club, in the centres, I've liked what I've seen of Matheson Johns.

Johns was one of the standouts in the preseason trial. Really hard runner of the ball.

On a development contract. Not in the NRL team until 2022 I believe
