Mine would be Reynolds ( non-injured) and Founa as he has been a beast in the Super league. :righton: Who are the new recruits that you guys are looking forward to watch play for the Tigers next year?
Who is the 2018 signing you are looking forward to watch.

Agreed, while it will also be good to see what Benji brings to the team.
Mats and Packer

Matulino, Reynolds and Packer. They are all walk up starts but the rest of our signings will have to earn their spots in firsts.
I'm looking forward to all of them. In the absence of a true X-factor in favour of a better balanced roster, they're all going to have to dip in and have a red hot go.
2018 signing..James Tedesco…at the Rorters..

Pretty much all of them. If I had to pick one probably Fonua
I would have to say, Tui.
As Ivan alluded to in the Q&A session, no one is going to replace Tedesco, which means that the way the team will play next year will be different.
So that will be interesting - to see how Cleary structures our play around the strengths of the players we do have.
Tui, could be absolutely anything - with a slightly re-jigged playing style from the team, and potentially a much more consistent and effective go forward from the big boppers up front, I'm really looking forward to the results.
I really am expecting a top 8 next year (given a continued fair run with injuries).

A lot of people doubt Lolohea because he is unfit and was dropped to reserve grade. I admit no one could've done what Tedesco has for our team and it will be hard to replace him. However, there are many benefits if Tui is our fullback for 2018\. Firstly, fullback is Tui's strongest position according to Ivan and it's best where he can use his running game. Not only that but it's like we have a third playmaker on the field plus goal kicker. Tui arguably has a better kicking, passing and playmaking game than Teddy and is nearly as fast. So yeah Tui would be mine to look forward to in 2018 because after a full pre-season with Brett Hodgson and Cleary, we hope we have a decent fullback.

Would have to be Tui Lolohea and Ta'ane Milne. Both have enormous potential and can cement themselves in our team for years to come and become major threats for us in 2018 pending "THE GREATEST EVER PRE-SEASON" as Geo has dubbed it.
