Wests Tigers talent Adam Doueihi knocked on the office door of club CEO Shane Richardson last week. The 25-year-old, who is on the comeback trail from injury after 13 months out, made a move that very few players in today’s game would have the gumption to take. Many players struggle to push...

From the DT about Doeuihi: He wants to push his claims as a halfback when he returns and has dropped 5kg from his playing weight of last season to be 94kg...

On this week's Footy Talk podcast, Chammas says we will try to offload Sullivan. He has no sources at the club any more so could only think it's just his opinion or he's giving the heads up from Bud's manager Mario Tartak.

Tumeth is a player option so he only needs to exercise it while Sezer is mutual option so I think both have to agree.

I wondered that myself. If Stef, Sezer & Tumeth are included, that's 30 so someone is being factored out in Richo's mind.

Turuva actually says in this pod that he wants to play centre (understands Bula has stanglehold on fullback) and thinks he's been signed to play centre. About 13:30 mark.

With Bennett pretty much done to Souths for 3 years (SMH), me thinks Kodi Nokorimi & Euan Aiken will be 2 off-contract to follow (possibly Averillo with their over-supply of outside backs next season). So who from Souths could we look at that may not make the Bennett regime? I feel that Dean...

I'm just going off what Richo has said in a couple of interviews, referring to Turuva is a centre for us.

Mooney set to re-sign with Raiders (DT).

Possibly a chance to take a long-term view. If our centres are going to be Olam & Turuva next season, it was a chance to see how Naden performs as a left wing.

So either Richo knows something not public yet (i.e. one of Stef, Tumeth or Sezer out) or he's hedging his bets on AD.

Richo mentioned about keeping a roster spot open for AD next season but by my reckoning we are already at 30 contracted players if the options with Tumeth, Stef & Sezer are exercised. We have recruited Luai & Turuva and have Luke Laulilii, Kit Laulilii, Tony Sukkar, Solo Saukuru & Tony Sukkar...

That energy returned in NSW Cup last week, good signs after a poor start to the season.

It seems Benji is not a coach to drop a player after one poor game. He seems to give a player a chance to make amends (thinking Seyfarth after poor Canberra game, had very good next game).

I noticed Solo Saukuru played a bit of left centre (inside Hymel Hunt) & also right wing last week in Ron Massey Cup. Always seems to find the score sheet. Would not be surprised to see him as a late inclusion in NSW Cup this weekend (given the club would surely take Faataape to Brisbane as an...

Yeah definitely one to watch flying under the radar a bit. Played a year up in Laurie Daley Cup probably because how strong our middles were in Harold Matts.

He goes onto a Dev contract next season so excluded him thinking he’ll be fast tracked to NSW Cup / Ron Massey (like Saukuru this year).

I reckon this has all been exaggerated probably by AD leaking to Chammas. Richo/Benji probably said to AD, let's wait to see how you come back and perform before we negotiate a multi-year contract. However we understand your circumstances so we'd be happy to offer you $150K now for 1-year so...
