We are still short on middle forwards. We had one prop out on Saturday, and our middle completely collapsed.
I would be looking for a short term solution at back up hooker as well - as soon as possible (ie this month).
Right centre is the most pressing of the starting 13 though.
A few of the depth positions will be better served next season as some of the younger guys grow - Attard, Haywood, Roberts etc.

Fantastic news. Samuela next please!
Woo hoo!
The extensions of these players are only the beginning of the Tigers retention spree, with the club now locked into talks to offer both Samuela and Latu Fainu, along with rookie centre Heamasi Makasini, long-term deals. (telegraph)

Wests Tigers multimillion-dollar re-signing spree has continued with the game’s brightest prospect Heamasi Makasini inking a new deal to remain at the club.
It is understood Makasini has re-signed with the club for a further two years rejecting any prospect of returning to rugby union in the short-term.
The multimillion-dollar extension means Makasini will join the likes of high profile players Terrell and Taylan May, Sunia Turuva and Jahream Bula to recommit to the club long-term following the loss of Jarome Luai to PNG.

Interesting coincidence...

Not a rumour and no inside info but we do need a right centre.
Joey Manu's French club are outside the playoffs with 3 round remaining. His father seems to think he is returning to Australia in June.

I don’t like our chances, but would be amazing to have him.

Unfortunately, This is prime Roosters Sombrero.
Fonua Pole the next Tiger to re-sign apparently.

Honestly not sure on Pole. Doesn't stand out in yardage and is poor defensively. Has had some excellent games, and his footwork at the line can be very damaging. But his deficiencies are plentiful and I don't think he's anywhere near a top 4 starting prop.
Would take him if the money was right, but we should be looking to recruit or develop a starting prop.
@dirty-reds Would not resign if he hasn’t shown it by now never will .. IMO I am getting the impression that the Tigers are a becoming a home away from home under Marshall !
