Has anyone heard any updates on big NAS’s transfer news? There was talk we were interested a while back. If we’re changing our squad any further I really hope we’re focussing on the forwards. I think the additions of Luai, Turuva, Skelton & hopefully a fit Olam & Bula will see our backs at least hold their own next year. Just need that platform first!
NAS is 100/1.

There’s always a chance. For example Garry might embrace a future Flanghan appointment at the club, Steve might accept missing the 8, Eddie might reappear for a pod and I might stop saying “physicality” 😂

Anyone heard any news on Sione Mata’utia? 29 next year, been a good edge back rower in the UK. If no Bateman would anyone consider him over maybe 1 or 2 years? Could still have a crack at Wilton or Nikora next year as he wouldn’t take up much cap space.

I think I read that he retired

This was in September, retirement is mentioned but he could be available

I'm hoping for NAS but expecting Rudolph.

I may accept someone called flanghan by I will never accept Flanagan.

I’m not sure if this kind of thing is allowed under the anti-tampering laws but I wonder if the Tigers have thought of going to the Sharks & offering them Bateman at say $350,000 the next 2 years. And asking if they’d be willing to release Wilton to us, we pay full freight for him, probably around $400,000 next year. We could incentivise the deal for Wilton by offering him maybe $500,000 the following 2 years. It would free up a little money for the Sharks enabling them to maybe keep one of their star players who can talk to other clubs Nov.
And a Sharks pack of:
AFB
Brayley
Kaufusi
Nikora
Bateman
McInness
is still a strong pack.

Not a bad idea. I think we’re going to have to deal with someone to get Bateman off our books.

I think Bateman might be better at that club anyway and on $300,000-$400,000 it'd be a decent deal for the Sharks. And Bateman could have a nice sea change. Win, win I'd say.I’m not sure if this kind of thing is allowed under the anti-tampering laws but I wonder if the Tigers have thought of going to the Sharks & offering them Bateman at say $350,000 the next 2 years.

Why muck around with Wilton when Nikora is off Contract at the same time? Id love the Tigers to have a BIG go at Nikora. He is exactly what we need (after buying one or two props).
