Since our inception the only part we have played in the mid-season player transfer market is to bleed players to make the salary cap regardless of their potential. For the first time ever we are involved in mid-season signing talks. It may seem small but this is what professional sport teams do to fill unexpected holes due to injury, poor performance or in the fucked up contract world of the NRL someone who you know is leaving the club in 8 months. Put in perspective this is bigger than the big 4.

If we are getting Reynolds should we assume TMM won't happen?

I wouldn't mind getting Watson or Lolohea though.

Still need another prop too

Reynolds ah? Might be alright but I would have preferred to give Cronk a blank cheque for at least 1 year to guide Brooks. It probably means no TMM but that suits just fine, I don't think brooks needs another kid to play alongside, at least J Rey brings some experience I suppose. TMM isn't setting the Penrith attack on fire and they have a good forward pack

I'm glad no TMM. I have the same concern as Griff. He's a featherweight and we struggle to cover Brooks in defense, we don't need 2.

Just on recruitment, Matulino has officially signed and has been announced meaning he must of signed 10 days ago when we were still trying to get Woodsy's signature, because it hasn't even been a week since the Woods offer was withdrawn.

We don't need to replace 1 turnstyle with another

We just signed Malaki Watene-Zelezniak effective immediately.

My assumption (hope) was that Matulino was orignally planned as an addition to Woods using Farah/Sironen/increased cap money and that we are still in the market for another top line prop.

Russell Packer seems to be the only one we are linked to at the moment, other than what is perhaps wishful thinking on Tolman/Graham.

Its a good time to be a Tigers optimist. I'm fully getting on the Cleary bus and have trust in him for next year.

I'd prefer Dylan Edwards to MWZ if we are signing fringe Panthers backs.
Is he still a chance?

Me too but he is a Panther until the end of 2018 according to Zero Tackle. MWZ can't make 1st Grade so why would he be a 1st Grader at the Tigers, we already have too many like that now. If JT was still the Coach then he would fit right in, mediocracy was the norm then.

Panthers have arguably the best depth for outside backs in the comp. No shame in looking there for talent.

Dylan Edwards can't crack first grade either but you just said you wanted to sign him.

In Nsw Cup? Probably as soon as they can get the contract registered.
First grade, who would you do for him?

Whilst a good depth signing, he's the lesser Watene-Zelezniak
