BREAKING

Musgrove released from contract, according to Tigers Facebook page

Why the f**k do you need to fly to the UK to sign a player.
Surely a meet can be done via zoom and paperwork done electronically.

Timmy is in his 70's, probably doesn't know what that shit means?

Though the personal touch can be a good impression on potential suitors, I guess.

Boots on the ground while world cup is on. I doubt Bateman will be the only player he's talking to

 

[Shredder]

Yeah I dont hate the idea either.

Absolutely where he should be right now....I'm surprised Bennett isn't there as well

 

[Tiger05]

Brooksy on his way out. It's a rumour but it's not from one of those guys who make shit up.

Clifford got a release to the UK earlier today, so now Knights really need a halfback. Stars are aligning.

I always think we should be careful what we wish for, BUT, I think this one would be good for all concerned?

Brooks gets a fresh start, we then have room for Hastings/Douehi to settle as our halves combo (Joffa at 13).

Whispers on the rumour mill that Klemmer will be offered as an enticement for the trade as well, which would be amazing for our forward pack.

 

[BrotherJim05]

Based on all the rumours, this could be our squad next year:

1. Staines
2. Nofa
3. To'a
4. Naden
5. Malo
6. Doeuihi
7. Hastings
8. Klemmer
9. Api
10. Twal
11. Bateman
12. Papali'i
13. Joffa

1. Stefano
2. Leinu
3. Pole
4. Blore

Not sure where this leaves Laurie. I heard a rumour he could be switching to 5/8, as he has much more speed than Doeuihi, but that puts Doeuihi at risk of leaving club.

Either way, f**k me this is an infinitely better team

That’s a decent 17. Problem is the next 13 are ordinary. As soon as injuries/suspensions hit, the team start losing.

Benji's call to 'show your stripes'

Strong words from Benji Marshall as the club launches its 2023 Membership campaign.

Benji's call to 'show your stripes'​

This is or you @The Silverdale Phantom, Benji wants pump up buddy.

 

[stryker]

You’re gonna need more than that Benji.
Try signing some good players and winning some games.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Our squad is a lot better balanced then it was 6 weeks ago. As much as I don’t like the sheens/Benji thing they have made better decisions with recruitment/retention then Madge did in 3 years.

 

[BrotherJim05]

How many spots do we have left in our Top 30? Currently the players from 2022 that won't be here:
Musgrove
Liddle
Tamou
Peachy
Garner
Luciano
Tualagi

Then also rumours of Brooks being released.

To be replaced by:
Papali'i
Api
Staines

Does this mean we can expect up to 4-5 new signings?

Roberts also retired?

My count is 25? If Brooks is gone and add Staines.

I'd love to send Gildart packing with a release. Maybe even entice it into a swap package for Bateman. He dragged his butt around for a few games, went to reggies and did not much at all, got a loan and shat on the WT organisation almost immediately.

I thought it was announced the pathetic Pom was pissing off back to the old dart
