Not sure if it’s been mentioned but if Luai does sign with tigers their halves pairing of him and Sullivan will take up about $1.8 million of the cap in 2025. That’s just below the money an elite halves pairing gets.

They also have the Fainu on good coin.

Anyone who thinks that is good roster management should be admitted to a mental hospital. Sullivan has played no more than 3 decent games in first grade yet they signed him for $550k over 4 years.

Young Fainu will be a very , very expensive NSW cup player

At least they have a competent halves pairing.

I agree. They look like they have some good props going thru. Maybe Gus is thinking they might offload Klemmer if they sign Luai.

I reckon they are the ones pushing Nofo out as he is on good coin, and hasn't been at his best for a couple of years now

On the decline, while on top dollar

Fuck I hope we somehow get him. I just hate the fact we lack so badly in props.
If we do have around 1.2m available we are better off chasing Klemmer (if it's true that Tigers want to offload him) along with T. May

AFB had a good year last year, though his previous years were bog average. 1 good year doesn't make you a $1m dollar player, especially a prop

Klemmer and Chloe have been consist throughout there careers, and T.May was great when he burst onto the scene and has potential

I don't see Gus spending $1m on a prop

Good for Jarome. He could be set for life by the end of that contract. 3 comps back to back to back lol Time to get paid. I like seeing other cellar dwellers get their man. Need to spread the talent around the league.

2025 Tiger spine

1.Bula
6 Luai
7 Sullivan?
9 Api

Not bad at all. Happy for Tigers tbh.
There’s a couple of turnstiles there but scoring points won’t be a problem

Klemmer and T May would be perfect for us tbh.
