I already watch 90% of NRL games but I'll be certain to not miss any Tigpies games in the next few years. Luai is f**king massive for you guys, I do still think you need a real coach though
The jury is out for me with Benji. He's a winner and has a connection with the younger players which we have a lot of.I already watch 90% of NRL games but I'll be certain to not miss any Tigpies games in the next few years.

Bula has been impressive but don't sleep on Turuva stealing the fullback spot if given the chanceThe jury is out for me with Benji. He's a winner and has a connection with the younger players which we have a lot of.
I don't think you can judge him on this year as it was disjointed with the Sheens saga.
He'll have a full off-season with the players and coaches and we'll have a better roster.
The younger players like Bula and Galvin will be better too imo.
I think missing the 8 will be a fail though and there will be a lot of pressure on him to get us off the bottom.
Im worried about Turuva's knee. He seems to favour it somewhat.Bula has been impressive but don't sleep on Turuva stealing the fullback spot if given the chance
Competition is good, both will be in the team somewhere though.Bula has been impressive but don't sleep on Turuva stealing the fullback spot if given the chance
I think we need a defensive winger as we have far too many tries leaked out wide. Taruva seems sound but has had great support inside.Competition is good, both will be in the team somewhere though.
You think so.whatever it was, it looks like unders now
Finishing at least 10th 9th is a pass for the tigers next season the season after that they have to make the top 8The jury is out for me with Benji. He's a winner and has a connection with the younger players which we have a lot of.

Fairs fair and spot on. There’s no point in pretending to be what we are not.With a shit lad of cash..
We’ve got another club member STP.. I think that makes 3 now. We may need to increase the membership fee to pay for the dancing girls. I don’t think the grog sales will cover itI like Bula, however I don’t think his ceiling is that high. Like I can’t ever see him being a top 5 fullback. I also think a lot of his attributes would be just as handy at centre/wing.
Turuva is probably a bit more explosive and has shown in his small chances at fullback he has a surprisingly decent passing game. How he goes in the defensive/cleaning up at fullback which Bula is so good at would be the test.

I doubt others would have paid a mill. or that Luai would have come to WT for less than a mill..Benji and Richo and karasau just knew the importance of his signing him and got it done. Of those 3 I wonder who would have been the most keen?
Well of course, but any bottom team is going to have to pay big $$$ to get a top player from a top team. Its worth noting that we got him for about $300k over what Penrith offered him, which is the same amount that we offered Moses over what Parra re-signed him for. Also about 12 years ago Penrith went hard and offered Jonathan Thurston the biggest contract in rugby league history which he knocked back. So just offering a player big money doesnt guarentee their signing.
At the time the majority of Panthers fans (including their coach) screamed at us that he cant play halfback and we paid massive overs. Both of those have since been proven to be completely incorrect. He's killed it at halfback and if we was on the market from Nov 1 this year he would have about 10 clubs offering him over $1m a year.
Can Galvin kick?
Even when Luai has played 7 aside from a handful of games he has shared the kicking and organising with Schneider.
He played well in Origin but again Moses did all of the kicking,
He has never kicked a FG or 40/20 for perspective. So I am not sure how many sides would run him at 7 not 6.
Yes, Galvan can kick.Can Galvin kick?

No mate, good on him for cashing in. He’s done it all at the Panthers, now all he needs is a spoon for his collection to be complete.
Statically Jarome Luai has the fifth longest kicking game and the second lowest kick return meters across the comp this year. And you cant just put this down to Penrith, as Cleary and Schneider arent in the top 10 for either
