Not terrible signings, probably for depth only
So far we have
1. Lolohea
2. Nofa
3. Suli
4. Milne
5. Fonua or Thompson
6. Reynolds
7. Brooks
It is possible we get Watson too, but where would he fit. And after all the reason he wants to leave the Rorters is to become a starter in the halves or at fullback.

Rankin has stepped off the bus to make way for the new signings and will be getting on a plane to Huddersfield

We are allegedly in line to get Curtis Rona if/when the Force disband
Backline looking OK for next year, just need to nad an extra forward or 2.
Not super convinced on hooker situation, hopefully Liddle starts stepping up

I hope Liddle steps up, he's been a tad underwhelming this year considering the amount of plaudits on him last year. They were probably the same plaudits who thought Brooks and Moses were the next big things.

Thanks Jordan, 1st grade is a bit out of your depth, but you tried hard. Good luck in the Super League

How long is Matt Parcell contracted for in the Super League? Would be a fantastic pick up for Wests.

Milne re-signed for 2 years.
I'm going for the early call and saying we will go with duel captains next year. Lawrence could struggle to hold a starting position by next years end if our young blokes fire.

Why are the stocking up on outside backs when they need back rowers?

A) We need outside backs too. Of our current back 5, only Nofoaluma and Suli likely to be playing there next year.
B) Our reserve grade side sucks too at the moment, and they need people to play for them
C) Signing backs and forwards are not mutually exclusive. Just because it's been about 3 weeks since we last announced a forward signing, doesn't mean we won't be signing any more

Just seemed like you guys are stocking up out wide - which - good point.
Chee Kam/Idris possibly Kev are all reserve grade talent. Still not sold on Suli too.
But then again, so is corey thompson and prob fanuoa how ever you spell it.
Rona would be a quality signing though. Nofo and Rona would be a quality wing pairing.
Also, fuck me dead Lolohea needs to lose some mud, hes fat as fuck. There is far far far too much feliti mateo about him IMO.

I'd still like another prop, and a quality second rower.
But it's a much better team than this year, despite the loss of Teddy and Woods.
Would be nice to finish this year off without losing by 30 every week though

Yep, I couldn't believe how fat that little unit is now when I saw the game on the weekend.
He may end up singlehandedly solving their dilemma of having too many outside backs and not enough props.

By Avi you mean Ava ? He's off to Cronulla or Aloiai which would be right. Also agree with you we are stacking centre/wingers because that team doesn't include MWK, Chee Kam or Milne. You would have to think a couple of those will be expected to put on some muscle over the off season and move into the forwards.

Only one man can solve that problem: John Asiata
The only halfback/prop in the league.

Yeah thats who I meant.
Yeah fair enough forgot he was leaving.
Milne would get a starting spot at centre one would think, which is better than Fanoa starting there surely.
If Idris can lose 25 kilos he might come good again, but there is fuck all chance of that happening.
It appears that the tigers are loading up on quantity over quality - so many reserve grade level players in the squad.

Idris was a 1 year deal and looking at our signings I doubt he's being offered an extension.
