Roberts will have a good years and be a bolter in our pack
@jedi-tiger yeah I think the lock position is there for the taking really... or a bench middle forward rotation spot

Good survey... But I like both Jersey colours equally and "What separates Wests Tigers from the consistently high-performing NRL clubs"... All of the above
I’ve seen 6 or 7 training sessions and Terrell is playing a lot of that middle 1st receiver role. He shares it mostly with Alex Seyfarth. I’d think given the team looked their best last season when Latu, AD & Jarome were on the field that Latu will play some 13 as well. Jock Madden & Latu looking very sharp in opposed sessions at training.@jedi-tiger yeah I think the lock position is there for the taking really... or a bench middle forward rotation spot
They had an opposed session yesterday, black (1st string side) v orange shirts. Wyatt Raymond was the official for the session. Star & Taylan centres, Tito & Luke wingers. Jeral has a minor issue of some kind and didn’t take part although was there in orange shirt. Masi in orange shirt too (2nd string side). Patty Herbert & Masi at centre for orange shirts, Madden & Latu halves. Kit was playing a lot of that 1st receiver role in the orange shirt. Sione also in orange. Terrell, Bunty, Twal, Fonua, Royce & Seyfarth middles in black shirts.
Luke impressed with a few good reads in D and Jahream posed greatest threat to defence. AD sometimes moving to left with Jarome to create extra man etc. Still a month to go but starting look ok. But as Tim Grant told me “They all look good in training”.
Do we see Herbert getting a go??

Depends on injury but from what I gather they’re very happy with what he’s doing at training. But being out of the game a few years he should be better off after a few runs in Cup.Do we see Herbert getting a go??

Terrell May in that lock type role would be good
@joel there is some talk that Starford Toa is carrying his arm injury and didn't have surgery. I don't like the sound of it as he was a passenger in most games come the back end of last year. The arm was really limiting him.
I havent seen enough of Herbert at his old clubs but I can see him getting a run yes.

Thanks for this update. I would have thought Sione has more to offer as a black shirt than Seyfarth but for some reason Benji has him penciled in every week.

That is a worry! Might also shift Makasini’s 2026 trajectory.
