Of course they are…marquee players only want to go to the rich clubs, whereas the poorer clubs at the Bottom of the ladder clubs get the washed up players at overs…..NRL needs a draft850000 for Fifita.
Benji get on the blower offer him more.
He's a freak talent
So Luai and Turuva are washed up? And the NRL draft while I wouldn’t be against it I highly doubt it’ll be brought back.Of course they are…marquee players only want to go to the rich clubs, whereas the poorer clubs at the Bottom of the ladder clubs get the washed up players at overs…..NRL needs a draft
Yep we need to start the clean out now as this season is basically over in both first grade and reserve grade , First grade top 8 probably need to win every game bar 1 or 2 , it’s not possible , reality tells us thatI agree i think we have to go to market and i believe we will if someone suddenly becomes available, our problem is i think we have to shift some on before we can move.
All the noise is about we are done in the market, but I would hope in the background Richo is plotting some moves with Benji and co. They can't be happy with what we have, I can see they don't want to block paths but besides Galvin and one or 2 others the rest are a couple of years away minimum.
Better than Nadan , this is the swaps we need , Naden out , Smith in we are betterReimis Smith is off contract and plays wing/centre, it appears Storm may have a battle with Roosters to keep him. He is a solid player.
That settles it. Every club who drops a player, clearly is willing to release them from their contract.Because he's been in reserve grade...
Kaufusi is a beast, has a few errors in his game but would be a great impact prop off the bench.Kaufusi or Hazelton would be my picks. Hunt to a lesser degree but will still offer more impact then anyone of one of our forwards past and present.
Exactly right.Hazleton would be a lot cheaper than Oregon, so they may opt for him to keep the investment in props spread out more. You need the cheapies to go with the high paid stars.
Where the sharks have Hazleton in their top 30, we ahve the likes of Sione Fainu and Miller. They get value out of their top 30 roster, we give contracts to players who haven't earned it yet. Hazleton was a standout in cup for a year before he made the step up too. He earned his shot, we just give anyone who's fit a run. A big difference in development pathways
Absolutely agree.Of course they are…marquee players only want to go to the rich clubs, whereas the poorer clubs at the Bottom of the ladder clubs get the washed up players at overs…..NRL needs a draft
Wests Tigers the knock out blow in round 19.They have had the easiest draw. I'd reassess in a months time. Storm, Roosters ,Penrith to come next 3weeks
NRL are so pathetic, if they had a draft they would catch a cold.Of course they are…marquee players only want to go to the rich clubs, whereas the poorer clubs at the Bottom of the ladder clubs get the washed up players at overs…..NRL needs a draft
We should be poaching their talent scouts, recruiters; because ours a very mediocre.With AFB coming, i reckon one of Rudolph or Kaufusi could be possibly on the move, only 2 an start. Oregon is mates with Stef so you never know....
The sharks recruitment and retention is outstanding at all grades. There are no guarantees but they always have competitive teams in all grades, with top talents coming through the ranks and integrating them well through the grades.
We should be looking at what the Sharks and Raiders do, just as much as Penrith.
Kaufusi was ahead of Stef at Parra. They played together there.Kaufusi is a beast, has a few errors in his game but would be a great impact prop off the bench.
Well we did fire ours a few months ago. We've since signed Luai and Turuva.We should be poaching their talent scouts, recruiters; because ours a very mediocre.
I’d jump in but you’re winning this debate on your own.What are you talking about.....
He doesn't get field time, because he doesn't do anything out there to deserve it.
How's Sam Fainu going for game time?
At 20 years old with 12 Games behind him....
Earned himself a starting spot.
Have your 'favourites' all you like, Bottom line is
- If he was a half decent player, He'd be getting game time.
Biggest problem is, We don't have anything better that Alex to take his spot....
I’d jump in but you’re winning this debate on your own.
I was gunna mention my new fav player, the Tigers next rep player Samuela Fainu. He’s been killing it, progressing the way a good young forward should.
You know Sayfart had some good games for a young bloke but he reached his ceiling very early in his career, I think SAM can’t see his ceiling yet.
He is off to the Roosters from what I have heardWhy would Fifita come to an underperforming club like the Tigers - he's been part of one for years and is probably sick of it ?. He wants to win a premiership and that's not going to happen here not even if he joins. Penrith are in that window now and will probably do it again within the next 3 years if he joins.
Totally agree, Samuela Fainu has a great trajectory, the kid is going to be superstar.I’d jump in but you’re winning this debate on your own.
