(Part 2) BR: The other notable change over the offseason has been the departure of David Nofoaluma. What can you say about David and his contribution to the Tigers? BM: I played with David and he spilt a lot of blood, sweat and tears for our club. He’s obviously the club’s leading all-time...

Some points from this morning's SEN interview with Richo: * Luai sent over the signed paper work the night before (2nd of January). Richo was aware that Luai wanted to hold a press conference, but had no idea when. He was made aware of the press conference at 10am yesterday morning * "(Luai) is...

This is fantastic haha

There's also a good chance that the deal is done, but also waiting for Shane Richardson to officially start before announcing it to the public. If not tomorrow, then I would expect it to be announced either 2nd or 3rd of January.

I don't believe he was offered a new deal, along with Tuki Simpkins and Brandon Wakeham

This happens to a lot of clubs with large catchments for junior talent. Given that we are positioning ourselves as a development club, the number of promising juniors coming through will increase. A number of things we need to realise: 1) We can't keep them all and we will inevitably lose some...

They can look all they want. We have Galvin locked up until 2026. When Luai comes on board, "teams looking at Galvin" stories / tweets will be commonplace. Why? Journalists are lazy and Wests Tigers stories get more clicks than any other team.

Galvin, on one knee, is almost taller than Reilly 😅

Is it for $700k, registered as a centre and a pinky promise that he will play in that position for the 2024 season?

I don't know how they can afford it Jake Turbo: $900k Tommy Turbo: $1.1M DCE: $1.2M (according to Zero Tackle) Brooks: $650k Schuster: ~$500 - 600k Koula extended to 2027 .. and now Olakauatu on a big deal?

Does anyone know what the go is with Billy Smith? The Roosters backline for 2024 is looking like: Dominic Young, Joseph Suaalii, Joseph Manu and Daniel Tupou .. maybe they've told him to play NSW Cup for a year? If he stays injury free, much like Connor Tracey, he would be an improvement on...

Twal was given permission to test the market given his current price tag of $525k. He received interest from both the Bulldogs and Manly, both long term deals, but at significantly reduced rates. Twal chose to extend at a reported $400k. Seyfarth was also rumoured to have held discussions with...

Yep, not to mention both Mam (reportedly $250k) and Walsh (reportedly $450k), both will be bumped up to $1M+. That'll put huge pressure on their cap, particularly given Haas' massive contract. This was the year for them. Window is closed.

100% Connor Tracey could also end up having value like Dylan Walker. We would play him at centre, but he also could cover fullback, wing and 5/8th. In other words, if the Tigers do have plans to bring other centres to the club (unlikely), then Connor might also be great at 14

Wrestling coach?

Yep, it doesn't sit well with me either. If he truly wants to see out his career with the Titans, why wouldn't he transfer there immediately, and start building connections for the 2024 season? I'm not sure how the Titans are placed with the salary cap, but at $200k for the rest of the year, I'm...

He wants to win a premiership. I reckon his plan is to go to the Broncos as 9, win a premiership. Then get more dollars playing for the Titans until he decides to retire.
