He still sleeps in jail buddy
- I’m pretty right for a bit I reckon.
Don’t believe I doubted Taylan at all, might have underestimated how hot he’d come back though…

You’ll need to show me the bit where Taylan was in jail, living off shit food and a couple hours outside of a concrete box a day for half a decade.

Plus we have api (our captain) in that spot for a few more years - we just speared out next up and comer for the bloke behind him - and have a red hot kid in 20’s…

Where you playing Manase?

Manase pushed API out of Manly before

Ni, it was relased to Members at 15:59, so I guess the rest of the world got it at 16:00. Got to love being a member the benefits are amazing!

Even though I haven't been a member since 2023 I'm still getting all those "member benefits" emails even though I haven't had a membership for the last 2 years.

They have been trying hard to hook me and reel me back in and almost had me buying myself a membership again for Christmas and then HBG pulled their brain dead stunt just when I thought we were heading in the right direction.

Geez these clowns 🤡 make it hard.

Yeah Well, Unless you have a time machine
- You won't need to worry about it happening again.

Although, If it did - It might open up a whole new array of opportunities for him.

Any .members email 'scoops' would be posted here 5 minutes after release...bit odd to think people would keep it secret

Sione Fainu inks three-year contract extension​

Author Wests Tigers
Timestamp Wed 11 Feb 2026, 01:59 PM



The Wests Tigers are excited to announce that Sione Fainu has signed a contract extension, keeping the damaging forward at Concord until the end of the 2029 NRL season.

Fainu – already contracted until the end of 2026 – has put pen-to-paper on an extension to secure his future as a Tiger, which will see him continue to play alongside brothers, Samuela and Latu.


Joining the Wests Tigers on a Development Deal in 2024, Fainu impressed following his NRL debut in Round 11 of that season, going on to earn a Top 30 deal at the beginning of 2025.

The 24-year-old put together a strong first full season in the top grade, appearing in all 24 of the Tigers regular season fixtures – proving a consistent, dependable presence for Benji Marshall in the middle or on an edge.

Fainu said he was pleased to have his future secured at the Tigers.

“The Tigers gave me a chance to make my NRL debut and start my career, I’m grateful to Benji and everyone who has supported me,” Fainu said.

“I’ve learnt so much being part of this group and playing alongside some amazing players. We’re all growing and improving every day – it’s an exciting journey to be on.

“The chance to share this experience with my brothers is really special and I’m looking forward to this season.”

Wests Tigers NRL Head Coach, Benji Marshall welcomed Fainu’s extension.

“Really happy for Sione first and foremost, he’s worked extremely hard over the last few years,” Marshall said.

He’s a great person to have around the group and leads through his actions on and off the field, we’re all very happy he’ll be with us for the next three years.

“Sione was fantastic for us last season and did a great job in his first full year of NRL, I’m looking forward to seeing him continue to grow throughout 2026.”

Mate it's great to see that even with all the turmoil and destruction caused by the HBG we can all say with confidence that things in the membership department have not changed one bit.
