Staines has to have the lowest football iq of any football player. Bombed two tries and made a shocking read for Newcastles third try.
Really need to upgrade the outside backs positions immediately.
Sunia Turuva has revealed the Wests Tigers’ refusal to give up against premiers Penrith in Bathurst last month convinced him to sign a three-year $1.3 million deal with the club.
Panthers flyer Turuva said he was also close to joining St George Illawarra, but there was too much upside to Benji...
I really like Luke Laulilii from what i have seen so far this season and think he may be the most underrated of the young prospects coming through. He also has a clear path to first grade given our lack of standout wingers. It seems like the club are happy with his progress given he has gone...
Hopefully with that additional winger plus lock our depth outside the 17 becomes:
To'a (assuming Naden starts)
Staines (assuming Naden starts)
L.Laulilii, Feledy & Saukuku (Luke.L and Saukuru the inform players from lower grades so far)
Sullivan
Doueihi & Sezer (maybe)
Seyfarth
Miller
Kit L...
With Turuva in the backline, we are genuinely one decent winger away from top 8. If we can develop one of the young guns into a 13, there's no reason we shouldn't be challenging for a finals spot next season especially with Penrith losing some players.
1. Bula
2. Naden/To'a/Staines (Fighting it...
No confirmation from either club but he told his teammates today he took up an offer with the Tigers.
A few teammates like To'o, Tago and others shared posts on social media about him signing with the Tigers and wished him luck/farewell. From that you would have to assume baring some change of...
I doubt he actually cares about playing fullback, just a means to ask for more money.
Similar to Addo-Carr, Crichton and other outside backs shopping themselves as fullbacks for the money.
Looking forward to 2025, we are set at fullback, halves, prop, hooker and second row. We could do with a lock but have Matamua, Faagutu and Kit all under contract next year.
We should be looking at strengthening the right centre and both wing positions. Anything else would be a waste of cap...
While Su’a and Crichton are great players, they’re not realistic options.
Both would be demanding 600k+ and we already have two backrowers on that type of money. If we signed one of them, we would have at least one backrower riding the bench on 600k+ only playing 20-30mins a game. It would kill...
If you think our current wingers are slow, wait till you see Lobb. Also made some poor defensive reads in Cup lately. He needs to improve defensively because outside of goal kicking and aerial ability, he doesn't offer too much unfortunately.
