Luai out from the tigers at years end now it seems
Official Signings, Transfers & Recruitment Discussion 2026
- Thread starter Gumby
- Start date
I saw an article about that and just assumed it was some kind of... mistake... I guess not
Worth considering for Perth to try get him for a year... no 6 signed yet, can contribute to building up Twidle who will be 23 by the start of the 2028 season. Have another young half there too, but he is another few years younger.
Maybe Dogs if they don't want Burton or Crichton there and have a longer term plan that needs another year to develop
(scratch this, Luai and Galvin again? surely not)
Barber Meaney Russell Newman Laulilii
Luai Sexton
Henry Wishart Oledzki
Sorensen McDonnell/Talakai
Curran
Leaves other Laulilii, Geyer, Twidle, Vea'Ila, Fa'asuamaleaui, Smith and Bitungane on bench
(plus two development players)
It's certainly... a collection of names haha
Would still love Bears to also get Humphries which was a done deal per everyone except official sources. 6 option and decent lock, and can cover hooker.

He looks like an absolute knob of epic proportions if he's tries to get out of next year given the way he carried on about Galvin.
Seems like they approached him, so by that sense, he'd be doing them a favour
Either way, it didn't take them long to become a basket case again.

Hearing a rumour Brisbane planning on tapping Madge on the shoulder and bringing in Billy. Take with a grain of salt.

Ahh well that kinda changes things a bit!
Been some speculation Billy might replace Bellamy.
If he went to Brisvegas instead, wonder if Madge would go to Storm... not the worst fit...

Dunno. I reckon Madge has a pretty short shelf life at any one club, not sure the younger generations of today can handle him.

Yeah but they could use being whipped into shape for a minute (not that I especially want that back in the NRL haha)
He is a tough one to place if he was to get finished up in Brisbane, too good not to coach somewhere but as you say, needs the right fit and even then probably short lived.

Where is that coming from?
Someone on reddit (best type of source!) is saying 6 is their deepest position, so, if they think Latu Fainu or one of their other options will be good to go for next year, it frees up a lot of money for them. Even if they chipped in a couple 100k.
Penrith played Blaize at centre last weekend... not happy with him at 6 maybe...
Seen at least Tele reporting Tigers have given him permission to sign elsewhere next year if he wants to.
They are also happy to keep him (but if you give him the first option, is that really completely true...)

Judah Rimbu also there as a potential bench hooker option. PNG Hooker. Former Q Cup PotY. Apparently is Bears T&T with a handshake to be signed eventually. He is playing for their Q Cup feeder this year.
Yeah forgot him, he can go in the development player pile.
One of them I think is on a dev contract, the other is on a train and trial for a year, which is then a dev for a year, which is then top 30 for a year

Yeah most lists leave him off. I think he was one of their first signings but because he isn't top 30 confirmed everyone forgets about him.
Only one of those three guys is on their website, Jasais Ah Kee who is the one whose contract eventually becomes top 30.
You'd think wouldn't be too hard to pop dev/t&t contracted players all down the bottom, get them on the website.

Still waiting for Tuks profile to appear too!
Im afraid to search him again in case Staples comes up first and I get stuck with a rep

You’d be hard pressed to get rid of it.
