We need to make it clear. You don’t honour your contract, you don’t play for 3 year. Simple. So there is nothing for him to think about it. 

Unfortunately the club is weak and I believe they will cave, if push comes to shove, and let Papali’i go elsewhere if he wants. This has always been the Wests Tigers way and recent events have done nothing to change my opinion.

WT should stand their ground unless suitable compensation is provided. If that doesn't happen then the NRL should back WT to the hilt.

I agree they should, but they won’t.

I wish Lee would not use the word 'confident'. That's implying Papali'i has a choice.

Wouldn’t believe anything the current chair says.

Rumour from SEN that teh other back rower will be Frizzell in a swap with Brooks.

 

A Frizell (at the right price) & Papalii back row with Joffa & Hastings at lock works for me.

I think this would be a fantastic outcome for us.

@tiger5150 

what segment was it mentioned in? I will try and find a podcast link to it

 

I thought Frizell had taken up his player option?

 

Brent Read mentioned this potential swap on Triple M yesterday also

Mick Im just passing on second or third hand information. I think it may have been REad on SEN as well. Most likely media made up speculation.

Seems pretty confident this is going ahead.

SMH reporting he might ask for a release to go back to Warriors on compassionate grounds. I’m not confident he’ll be here next year. If Seyfarth is in the 2nd row I’ll scream.

I was at 50/50, I reckon it’s not even that now.

He can't play anywhere else without our permission.

True, but I have no evidence to suggest we won’t eventually give in. The X factor here is Sheens.

I am more confident than I would usually be, Sheens gives me confidence and the answers I have heard direct from the club have me believing that we will stick solid.

@Garry but that’s not the Wests Tigers way. We’ll eventually cave as we always do and claim we got something out of it but won’t be able to say what it was.

I am happy with the direct answers I have heard from the club, I will be surprised if they do cave based on those answers.

Triple M's Brent Read and Aaron Woods have proposed a potential player swap involving Tyson Frizell and Luke Brooks, with the Knights forward under the eye of many NRL clubs.

According to Read, a leading NRL journalist, multiple clubs are circling Frizell who currently has a player option for 2023 with the Knights.

After Brooks was linked to a move to Newcastle earlier in the season, Read and Woods proposed whether a player swap would make sense for both clubs if the two players were to depart their current teams. 

"If the Knights thing happens and Luke Brooks goes to the Knights, and the Tigers need an edge back-rower... it's a swap that would make a little bit of sense," Read told Triple M's Monday Scrum podcast

 

Amazing on SEN today this now seems to be done deal

I call rubbish on a player swap
