Will never happen, but I would absolutely take Stains. He is a beast of a player.

The nrl really can't change the sizes of squads at this late stage. Would be highly unethical... Many clubs have already filled 80-90% of their 30man rosters. Had they known rosters would be smaller certain contracts would never have been signed.
They've already acted unethically in introducing major changes to the rules mid season. The money is still there for clubs, why on earth would they make drastic changes now when clubs have no flexibility to respond.

If they want to change squad sizes it must be for the 2022 season. That would be fair. Anything else is madness.

But then Vlandys is a dictator and like Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon he'll use his toxic power to make up the rules as he goes.

Oh yeah, V'landys is the worst. I can't believe he evn got the competition going again. What a fool. Please bring back Greenberg. He led this game to a golden era. Or maybe Gallop. Hasn't he done such a magnificent job with the A-League. Let's all pretend that the coaches, media and owners haven't run the game into the ground for the past 15 years by pushing their own agendas.

to be fair that poor bastard went through a fair bit in that house and couldn't even walk into the baby nursery, he may just need a fresh start. of course people are thinking England but I mean he may just need to move house.

I know the media guys are very wary of V'Landys - which is only a good thing. They work with him, but know that he is not going to be pushed over - unlike most of the people since the mid to late 80's

Eisenhuth gone huh. That's disappointing. He's finally kicked on in his 4th year with us. Seems a waste to invest so much time in his development only for another club to reap the rewards. I think he'll do well wherever he ends up.

Hes almost 30 mate. The cancer really set him back unfortunately. Twal is very similar, except for the passing game

Eiso turns 28 today so happy birthday to Matt

Comparatives on Eiso v Twal are pretty similar
Eiso 8 Games Twal 7
Eiso 62 Minutes Twal 62
Eiso 11.8 Runs per game Twal 11.3
Eiso 102 Metres per game Twal 91
Eiso 6 Tackle Busts Twal 5
Eiso 3 Offloads Twal 0
Eiso 39 Tackles per game Twal 43
Eiso 2.3 Missed tackles per game Twal 0.4
Eiso 2 Errors Twal 0
Eiso 4 Penalties Twal 3

I hope we manage to keep him

I reckon the Barrett link will have Staines going to the Bulldogs and JAC back to us.

This has been done a few times but....

https://www.weststigers.com.au/news/2019/11/01/wests-tigers-2020-nrl-squad/

- Roster has 11 gaps (including development players being upgraded and Stefano signing)
- Benji goes around again - 10
- Squad to 28 - 8

It may be cause its early for me (or because I'm slightly dusty) but, I don't get the lack of room for players.

Who are the 8 (10)?

If you count all the guys who are contracted for 2021 it adds up to 24 contracted for our top squad, so 6 spots available for next season.

We have 21 for 2021 incl Stefano but excl Dev players (-9 if 30 OR -7 if 28)
Likely 3-4 development players (-5-6 OR -3-4))
Three new signings? (e.g. Bunty, JAC, Stains) (-2-3 OR 0-1)
Leaves zero to three spots for other new signings or Eiso/McIntyre/Benji extensions which sound maybe unlikely in a 28 player roster

sorry mate but if you do a count of who has a contract on the squad list it's at 24. if you add Momirovski and assume we re-sign McIntyre that's 26. if in fact squad numbers are reduced to 28 that leaves two spots, one you'd think to be filled by Marshall unless we can move M'Bye or Reynolds on, and that last one would be filled by one of Addo-Carr, Staines, Afoa, Proctor or Jason Saab. situation is very difficult so you can see why they're trying to move players on.

Correct we have 6 spots open, and that’s not including Momirovski.

I can't imagine the club being dumb enough to play Marshall one more year. Such a waste of a spot.

Ok , but in what spot ? The lock position ,which looks like Twals , McIntyre and Blores. The front row , which since Twal and Musgrove have gone down , despite Eiso playing well, we continue to lose the battle . As he is the big minutes player in the middle (usually Twal) , he is unfortunately the connection between the starters and our dismal bench.
So you’re talking about position 25-30 in the roster , which if at 28 he is looking to cash in , as at most he has 4 years left , he’s probably wanting and deserving of the 350-400k . Which is bench prop money . That’s not position 25-30 .

I don’t see it .

I don't want him to play beyond this year. it'd be a trainwreck and similar to Thurston in 2018. but looking at POM's mail they may ask him to be our backup 6 with Doueihi or Reynolds being our first option and look to Staines or JAC to play out the back.

ahh yes - def dusty haha.

but still who are the 6 that cause us to have no space in the top 30 and possibly lose the Huth. Still doesn't add up.

Im hoping we have a couple of signings in the bag to announce as teams drop out of the finals

Going ok champ until you had to mention Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon in a ignorant negative way, boy does USA need Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon now more than ever from the crazies

He is worse for that national team's harmony than Mbye, Packer and Reynolds on their money here now, let alone for another four years.

If Reynolds stays just put him at backup I reckon, or play Mbye there if he's still around.

I agree, Reynolds as backup, Madden as backup to the backup. There’s no room for Benji next season.
