Ok, wow. Wasn’t expecting that.

@joel someone mentioned Paul Rowley as an early tip for our next head of football. Richo really rates him, Ex Salford coach from ESL.
"...overseeing player development, pathways, and long term recruitment structures." seems to me Shannon Gallant would be doing a lot of this work as well. It remains to be seen if they'll replace Betsey or whether Shannon undertakes the specific role he performed I suppose.Betsey Resigns from Wests Tigers

Here’s a list of players from around the NRL without a contract for next season.

I’d consider Laurie to play fullback in NSW cup
I’ve no idea obviously who the club will bring in before the start of the season next year, NAS or Tino would be nice wouldn’t they. But I was thinking about who is available right now & who could improve our squad. I think Kamikamica isn’t signed next season and his experience & coming from a great system seems someone who could add to our pack. I also think someone like Adam Elliot could provide value as he’d not take up much of your Cap. A one or two year contract for both might be ok. A starting pack of Kamikamica, Terrell, Api, Samuela, KPP & Elliot has size & plenty experience. A bench of Twal, Sione, Pole/Hope & Latu/AD is also prettty strong. Pole & Sione both provide impact, Sione covering edge if needed as well. Twally could still play good minutes if Kamikamica plays the first 15-20. Latu or AD could also go give Elliot a breather. Just thoughts I’m sharing.
@russtutty63 And, as always, your thoughts are reasoned and insightful. I enjoy reading them.
We obviously need to strengthen up front - whoever we're going after needs to be above average defensively.
We will also need the Faunus, Pole and co take more than one step forward in terms of their defence.
If we are interested in Kamikamika then maybe our Fiji boys could talk him across while playing together in the Pacific Championship. Wouldn't be the first time players have been used in this way. Bula, Tito and Api are all probably going to be chosen.
a rumour going around on social media is, Apparently we are going after Jack Hetherington alongside Manly
@mr-anonymous-26 He would fit right in ! his plodder ranking is high , with him added the Tigers pack would have the highest plodder rating of any other club and would be a good destination for him ….one day this club will actually sign some players that will take the team to the next level but not holding my breath .
Perhaps as a backup. The guy has a screw loose, I don’t mind having more props in the system but this will need to be min wage
