does everyone think we will have to take Bateman back ? or can a deal be done to pay him out ?
I reckon it's an untenable situation that he returns to our team. They'll be looking at all ways this can be avoided.
hope you are right, it is the roster spot that is the issue
anyone in the pod or close to the club hear rumours Bird has come here to play centre ?
I think there is no chance that Bateman will be here in 2025.

I'm not so sure on that one … wouldn’t surprise me if he’s no11 in rd 1I think there is no chance that Bateman will be here in 2025.

I reckon I’ve got more chance of being the 11 in Rd1 than Bateman 😂 but we’ll see.

are we making a play for RCG ? I think we might need him

We need 3-4 middles. Klemmer/Twal not 1st grade standard imo
@avocadoontoast Kleemer has an excuse he is at the end but Twal he has to be the all time plodder of the NRL and Marshall has a lot to answer for extending his contract …just this alone is why Marshall will not make it as a head coach that extension is laughable !
@jedi-tiger The club needs to do better than this guy … it’s not that the position will be blocked for a younger guy . Nothing has been learnt Hunt wanted to retire next season so Marshall gives him a superannuation extension of 2 extra seasons … Bird is broken and everyone is sweeting on RCG . The club is like a used car yard purchasing old cars that there best years are long gone . I would like a bit better TBH after 3 wooden spoons and having a war chest of money !

In fairness, at this point of the year you are only going to sign guys that other clubs are willing to let go.

luai and turuva are great purchases
As Garry has said we can only sign who is available at present.
I would have preferred Corey H from Canberra but RCG might be all that is left at present, we are very light on in the front row.
Twal goes OK doesn't bend the line but is solid in defence, Klemmers play the balls are pretty slow these days. Saying all that I am comfortable in missing Stefano for 900k
Lodge could be available apparently. Wants 2 years manly only offering 1. Wrong end of his career for me.

a shocking human, big no to Lodge
mate this is the wests tigers movie… there’s more twists and turns than the movie Twister 🥸I'm not so sure on that one … wouldn’t surprise me if he’s no11 in rd 1I think there is no chance that Bateman will be here in 2025.
I reckon I’ve got more chance of being the 11 in Rd1 than Bateman 😂 but we’ll see.
That comment makes me think of the movie We Are Marshall when at the end of their first win the coach presents the ball to the principal as best player and when he responds with, I am not even a player, the coach replies, We are Marshall we take anyone! Sometimes I think that our recruiting has been a bit too much like that.mate this is the wests tigers movie… there’s more twists and turns than the movie Twister 🥸I'm not so sure on that one … wouldn’t surprise me if he’s no11 in rd 1I think there is no chance that Bateman will be here in 2025.
