He was on the morning show this morning on Sen with Magnessen.
He didnt say 100% about Terrell but he thinks he will sign with us.
It was carayannis but yep he said he expects Terrell here in 2025 and Taylan for similar money

Also said we 100% had a deal agreed with Tyrone that Gus then pulled when it became public

The ten year contract is absurd in Rugby League especially for a forward.
However I do think Des and Titan’s will have the Titan’s playing better than us this year. So
I guess we’re in no place to throw stones if they are literally ahead of us. Season hasn’t started yet but I can’t see us finishing above them. If we do it’s huge kudos to CC and a massive F for Des. Again, unlikely.
On the contrary, that's the BEST time to throw stones. The buggers don't see them coming from behind... :sweatsmile:

Watch how well Alamoti goes when given a chance this year. Flicked way too early from us. Turns 20 this year and only played 1yr of NRL. Local Junior.
Yep. That’s why Penrith only gave him a 1 year deal

The 1 yr deal was orchestrated from the alamoti camp. 2023 didnt go to plan for him. A multi yr deal from 24 is not lucrative for him rn. It will be after a good yr with Penrith. Hes a gun

I think he will have a great season in NSW Cup. He is only young and it’s hard to tell if he will step up or not. He destroyed everything at age footy with brut power. Against Men his game style was ineffective last year. His defence, both technique and positioning is also well below par for NRL.

As I said he is only young but he needs to show some patience and learn in Reggies for a couple of years. Penrith will be a good place to do this.

My luai inside info was spot on. Gus got Richardson’d
Did you watch the Luai press conference? He mentions how he rang Ciraldo to inform him he chose Tigers over Bulldogs. Interesting he rings Ciraldo and only mentions him plus the 'brothers' there.

Money was the same. Marshall's message to Luai would have been more direct and believable about being the main man at the club. Gould would have told Luai one thing and Burton another thing.

With Burton at the club we didn't need a Luai type player. Still someone had to go all out for him.

We missed out on Luai when we had virtually every card in our favour for him.

Politis went to watch SG Ball to sign Alamoti and not long after Khoury signed him to Top 30. Lost a lot of 2021 due to Covid. Was injured for a chunk 2022 only got 15 cup games. Made his NRL debut in 2023. His peak is still a long way off. Should have been kept and invested in. Yet to turn 20. Local Junior.

Maybe you should rewatch the press conference before mis-paraphrasing… he called Ciraldo his ‘second dad’ and in the same sentence then explained he wanted a fresh challenge on his own bat… all of which followed his explanation to prove his critics wrong by going out on his own… but of course, your ears instead heard “I wanted to follow Ciraldo, but Gus fucked it up”… jesus fuck.

No. Politis went to watch SG ball as the Roosters we’re playing - not to sign Alamoti. Great twist of words. Thankyou for the entertainment.
