He played a few games late season for Eels Flegg.
What is the latest with Jordan Miller? He has an unfair dismissal claim against the club which must be ongoing but he would want to be making his way back onto the field at some stage?
It might not be realistic but I would consider offering him a train and trial deal as part of any settlement. He was showing plenty of promise and is still young.
For example in his last game in 2024 with Wests in Cup here are his stats
19 min
10 hitups
109 total metres
54 post contact

It might not be too long a shot to see a starting pack which includes Ethan Roberts. Perhaps something like Terrell, Api, Twal, Samuela, KPP, Roberts. Good mix of experience & youth, plenty of size & mobility.
On 47 min they suggest Adam Elliot could be on his way to WT.
I think he’s quality but rarely fit.

Hmm, that is interesting. I’d do a 12 month deal.

He's a smokey for rookie of the year - big framed indigenous young man who can tackle and carry.

I think a good player to pick up in the off season if possible would be Adam Elliot. He’d be the perfect 13 in my opinion. If not I’d play T May there.
I have heard this rumour but I prefer not to believe it. I can’t understand why they would be moved on. If I’m not wrong Kit at 20 years old was the youngest of our middles in Cup this year & he had some very good games. He’s a bit inconsistent but that’s not unusual given our Cup team’s form & changes to the squad every year. Kit has very good leg speed & that’s not all that common amongst middles, he could really develop into a fine impact middle imo. Luke is still only 19 and played only 16 games on the wing during which he’s had some concussion issues. He has still showed enough to think he could continue to develop into a handy winger. He played fullback mostly in Matts & Ball so obviously needs time to mature into the wing position. I doubt both would be on much more than minimum so there’s not a lot to gain financially by releasing them. I think 2026 is a big year for both, particularly Kit, and given a stronger Cup squad (I hope) it should be a great opportunity for them to have their best season yet which is only good for the club and them.Does anyone know if the noise around the Lauililis potentiialy leaving are true or false off-season storytelling.
cheersI think Christian Tapau-Moors played one or two games of Cup at the back end of the season so he would’ve been the youngest but Kit obviously played the full season.
This has popped up again on other forums with some saying Kit and Luke are targets for the Dragons
I agree that the brothers have showed SOME promise and may continue to develop. However I also think that players who show some promise at 19 or 20 should generally be on development contracts and not multi year NRL deals.
We could and should move these guys and open up the roster spots to experienced NRL players.
I hope you are right that Kit & Luke are on modest salaries but I should remind you that their contracts were signed in the Pascoe era. This was a time where huge blunders were made in the recruitment space year in, year out. If Bud Sullivan was offered 4 years at $500k per season after 20-odd NRL games who knows what these guys were signed for?
At that time, Mario Tartak had Pascoe wrapped around his little finger.
Interesting article on Galvin meeting Roger Fabri to find some speed. Good coaching by the Bulldogs or have they bought a dud?
That’s his Achilles Heel. He’s pretty slow for a half.Interesting article on Galvin meeting Roger Fabri to find some speed. Good coaching by the Bulldogs or have they bought a dud?
Media up to their usual tricks too. So many beat up headlines and articles on pure conjecture.
I find these types of articles so frustrating and if it is Moses feeding this to so-called journalists, they are both a bad as each other.

Sadly, I don’t see a path to first grade for these boys at Wests Tigers.

Would be a bitter pill to swallow losing Bula. I hope the guys running the club have a plan B!

I guess the only way we lose him is if we don't think he's worth $900k.
I think he is.
