At some point soon we need to sign a player that chooses to come to us over another club. That will help our recruitment moving forward and give us a boost as well.
I think there are two main recruitment motivators: money and success. Maybe we don't have much in TPAs. And it has been a while since we were finals regulars.

All the best coaches in sport often say that if a player chooses money over coming to your squad then it is no real loss. I have paid attention to that as I am a Liverpool fan and when they were interested in a player in the transfer window and missed out due to them choosing money most if not all ended up duds for the clubs they ended up at and were sold more or less a year or 2 later. I have a feeling this will be the case with May. Way too many red flags with this signing especially the Roosters allowing him to leave out of nowhere and so soon.

True. Although the Tigers seem to be recruiting ok.

I think weve been too conservative, overpaid people to stay, and cannot move players on. The last one is a particular issue.

If anyone can fix it Flanno can.

Every year they say Tigers recruiting well with Bateman, Papalii, Sullivan, etc and they end up last. For all Tigers fans sake, I really hope they go well. They have a great bunch of fans but unfortunately the players and club just love to pile on the misery every year.

They've put together a very competitve looking team. Luai and Galvin in the halves with Bula at the back and Hunt and May your starting props, they give themselves every opportunity to fight for a spot in the 8. Coaching will be the big issue for them, can Benji utilize that squad. The Clubs' losing culture may play a part too. Hooker is an issue, they should buy Hunt when nobody else signs him and give him the 9 jersey.
The more I think about it the more pissed I am we didn't grab May, we had the money and the inside running by all accounts. The guy's just what we need, a level above any forward we have on the books.

I'd go with Pole in the 13 and Bird 14. This is one of those Predicted lists off the net.

1. Jahream Bula
2. Sunia Turuva
3. Justin Olam
4. Adam Doueihi
5. Charlie Staines
6. Lachlan Galvin
7. Jarome Luai
8. Royce Hunt
9. Tallyn Da Silva
10. Terrell May
11. Samuela Fainu
12. John Bateman
13. Jack Bird

14. Latu Fainu
15. David Klemmer
16. Alex Seyfarth
17. Fonua Pole
