I really think guys like Tristan, Tepai and Lazarus need to step up, we need one to become an elite middle or like you said we will just keep getting bashed, Tui and Christian both need to lift from their 2023 form also. Even NAS was very inconsistent we definitely need more from the engine room to be any chance.

No surprises that Foxsports are reporting that Olam just has pass a medical and he's off the Tigers. I'm surprised it's taken this long!

They clearly had to make sure Luai was done first.

I’m ACTUALLY PI55ED off we let him go and he goes to F******g Penrith ….bruh my god

He was way behind a lot of players but he goes alright has been injured a lot the last few seasons but when he plays he is damn good (bit of a liability I guess cause he wasn’t fit when we need him)

He was MOM in the last 2 finals before the Brisbane Tigers grand final

Few reports that Olam to Tigers is done, and Blore will more than likely be coming to us a season early in return.

Top 30 squad looks set, be interesting to see what set up CB comes up with, and who stands out in pre season. I’d love to see some guys really step up this season I have big hopes for Sua & Jack especially, and obviously keen to see how Paps rebounds. I’m not sold on Meaney in the centres yet either I wouldn’t be surprised to see Howarth get a crack there or even a shift from Warbrick. Not sure how to fit Sua in I really think #1 is his spot but hard with Paps there, in Bellamy we trust.

I'd love to see Kane Bradley train the house down and get first crack at one of those centre positions, he's got a ton of upside

Agree, re: Bradley is tall and is good under the high ball. Could be used as a weapon in attack.

Opposition think who are they kicking it to - Coates or Warbrick, nope Bradley.

Good call Mattpoet.

For Bradley to take his chance though, it looks to me like he needs to muscle up a little but even more importantly, he needs a massive confidence boost to make him believe he belongs in first grade.

He must have really failed to impress the Coaches given the Club’s desperate need for fwds.
