If TT does not come through.

I would be happy with.

Mckinnon Tuqiri and Brown

McKinnon Tuqiri and Latu

or even

Brown Tuqiri and Latu.

I just don't think Beau Ryan adds anything at all to our team anymore.

he doesn't, and albeit for 2 months when he filled at fullback and played awesomely, he never has.

He shant ever be forgiven for that kick ahead in the dying seconds against the Dragons

Rumour I heard is that we are chasing Matt Utai to replace Tuiaki if he does in fact retire.

I think its a done deal.

Utai showed up at Oztag with Wests Tigers gear on.

Mate asked him at game yesterday, he said he will sign with Tigers, possibly today.

handy depth signing for the backs. If he gets his fitness and form back, could prove to be quite a handful

You don't think Benji or Robbie wouldn't have kicked? You think under that kind of pressure at full pace they would have made a match-winning kick?

Do you think Parra fans will never forgive Luke Burt and Raiders never forgive Croker?

Beau if a whole-hearted player.
You are a parasite.

Beau Ryan is rubbish.

He is a back-up option at best.

Beau is a winger. It's not his job to do what Robbie or Benji might have done... He should have taken the tackle and given us a chance to win it on the next play.

Sure, you have to forgive him and move on - that's footy. But you can't argue with anyone for saying he's a bit of a liability sometimes. He'd really look much better in Magpies colours anyway.

Can anyone remember what Utai is like under the high ball? He's a short fella & we are already dodgy when a kick goes up for the wingers.

Benji and Robbie kick all the time in games. IF they were in that position and kicked, it would have been much better.

But given the field position, he should have tacken the tackle, quick play the ball, we would have scored, or at least kicked a field goal to keep ourselves in the game, given all their defence was a long way back.

Beau can be as much of a whole hearted player as he wants, doesn't mean he's any f**king good.

Angelo Alavanja was a whole hearted player too, I suppose he should have been in contention for the 1990 Golden Boot award.

Muppet.

Out of NYC you could probably throw in James Tedesco, Curtis Sironen, Neil Begovich, Mosese Fotuiaka, Marika Koroibete, Taqele Naiyavaoro into the top squad list. Maybe. I have a feeling if Moltz doesn't neg his Dragons contract that Tedesco will have a crack at number 1 in Round 1.

We can only have a 25 man NRL squad, so anyone still under 21 will be kept in the NYC squad. Pretty sure all those kids won't be 21 next year.

They'll play first grade most likely over 2012, but won't be listed in the NRL squad.

I've heard from 2 different people that Leeds have signed Chris Heighington for next season. Has anyone your side heard this? It was rumoured months ago but then seemed to die a death.

I believe Heighington is still under contract and has decided to stay at the Tigers

James Gavet, up and coming prop contracted to Warriors 2010/11, may be joining Tigers in 2012! He made NSW Cup squad this year but with the current propping stock of Packer, Matulino, Rapira and Lillyman it's unlikely he'll see much, if any, 1st grade game time. Hard to displace a Kiwi/SOO rotation.

Tigers and Dogs are chasing his signature.
