Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[WA Tiger]

Don't look into his lifestyle too much mate. The media will pick parts that they know will be clickbait. Richo said he knows the guy and rates him and until he pokes me in the eye I've got him.

Cherry picking to suit can be misleading

IMO is absolutely the makings a top 4 side. Obviously there’s a huge amount of other factors to take in, with coaching being the main one, however there is certainly enough to be excited about amongst that group.

Hoping Alaimalo delivers and shows the potential for ‘25
17: If no one comes through, I think Kepaoa would probably fill the spot, he covers the wing, centre and S/R reasonably well, I thought?
4: I guess Naden will get his opportunity for the centre, unless somecomes along we don’t know about?
6: will be interesting, Sulivan or Fainu (is he ready?)
13: At this stage it would be between Seyfarth, Matamua & Laulilii (is he ready?)

I think the young blokes will get a shot at some stage in ‘24, depending on how we’re travelling, to find out?

That said, with players going next year (Blore) we still have some cash to go to market?

Is there anyone in the pathways, nsw cup, that come to mind @Vic Mackey that you think may be a Smokey?

Just reading on Twitter, that Tupou has gone to the Dolphins?

Tupou to the Dolphins apparantly...

Fair enough. Trying to rebuild a roster you dont get in a bidding war for wingers.

NBWT twitter:
- Junior Tupou has accepted a ‘significant’ offer from the Dolphins for 2025, WT unlikely to match (we have the cooling off period in our favour?)

- Olam/Blore swap talks to recommence

- WT hope to lodge their Luai offer with the NRL in coming days, with Luai believed to favour a move to WT
(not sure WTF is going on here, I thought it was already with the NRL?)

It’s expected WT and the Storm will recommence swap talks which would see Justin Olam join the Tigers and Shawn Blore join the Storm, having signed with Melbourne for 2025 (Telegraph)

Been a crazy off season so far, hopefully more to come? Hahaha

Luai skips Panthers training as tensions simmer over Tigers move

Don’t know what that’s all about? Hopefully more to come.

NBWT:
- WT and Jarome Luai’s management are now putting the finishing touches on a five year deal. The paperwork is yet to be lodged with the NRL but Penrith are expected to waive the 10 day period (SMH)

Luai has not requested a release, although his no-show could prompt the Tigers to push for his immediate transfer to Concord. That would hinge on Penrith agreeing to release him, Luai being willing to leave and the Tigers finding the salary cap space to match his current $780,000 deal.

If Benj and Johnny M can get Olam back to his best then happy days!
