With Richards returning, does this mean Lote will finally retire. We have too many outside backs fighting for spots.

 

[MadPie]

I loved this guy, but how old is he now?

 

[BrotherJim05]

He is a quality winger but he would be at least 31 by now. I would rate his current efforts in England better than any of our outside backs atm.

Looking forward to seeing him back in the Tigers

 

[Eddie Lab]

the Tigers shouldn't have ever let him go, I thought he was always massively under rated.

I'd say his too old to make a massive difference but just imagine if we were able to hold onto him for all those years he was in England? considering his form and how much the tigers have needed a decent center/winger, I'd say we would have been in the grand final either 2010 or 2011.

 

[MacDougall]

Same age as Jamie Lyon and in career best form. 9 tries in first 10 games of ESL and leading pointscorer. Dead eye goalkicker. Nothing to hate about this signing at all so don't even try to be upset about it.

Pay Richards and Marika Koroibete on the wings next season... I like it !!! So this is the first showing of Potter forming the team he wants ? I'm surprised that its a winger but I like it just the same.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Awesome Signing, whose next, Tim Brasher? Maybe Gary Jack? Hahahaha

 

[Matchball]

God. He was fantastic in the grand final but we surely have some juniors.
West tigers retirement contract club.

I reckon next up on the books is a big mean motherf**ker of a prop.

I also hear that Will Chambers is off contract at end of season. Him at Pat Richards on the wing together would be lethal.

I mentioned this on our forum,Chambers would be great.

 

[Bovrick]

in career best form.

He peaked in 2010, hasn't been quite the same since his injury in the Grand Final that year. Still sad to see him leave Wigan though, bit of a legend over his time here.

 

[DanOz]

Hodgson was his age when he won Man of Steel awards. I love it. Richards and Marika on the flanks, finally some attack.

 

[mems77]

What will happen to Moltz and his big kick offs now?

 

[Matchball]

Our halfback problems are solved. Mick Neil is looking to return.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Gee I loved this bloke in 2005.

Not sure about the 2014 version though.

I heard yesterday that Chambers from the Storm is off contract this year.

Now that would be a good signing.

 

[Tigers Tale]

Potter maybe looking at a few playing ESL who are wanting a run back in the NRL. Couple of forwards would help....

 

[benched tiger]

I cant help but feel his best years were served in ESL,however good he is now he would have to still be better then Utai and Reddy.

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Cant complain.....but have few expectations.
Hope it was on VERY sensible coin.

Wasnt very fast in his heyday....cant have much toe these days.

 

[Das Hassler]

Glad he's coming back...at least the side will never be short of a goalkicker

 

[boonboon]

He is currently starring his coach said just a couple of weeks ago " he's done we'll for me this year, his form is the best I've known it" . He also described him as a club legend, an ultimate professional ,etc,etc - we are getting a good one
