Not going to get into the weeds on the GH/RS situation as people know my views and we just end up going round and round in circles disagreeing, and frankly I can't be bothered. Anyway back on Transfer news I see Tigers are looking to release Alex Twal https://www.zerotackle.com/five-potenti ... al-162530/ Could be a potentially good signing and it does show that there may be some movement in the NRL market in the off season even if they are contracted

I honestly wouldn't be shocked to see Newman leave

Quite possibly. I'd hope there are enough adults in the room to prevent that happening in 2024 at least.

I agree, I'd be hoping that there's a lot of work done with Harry in the off season, it might be the first full preseason he's had for a while, gives him chance to get his body but more importantly his mindset ready for a big year, it's a difficult one because the energy and passion he has is just being channelled in the wrong way, and the last thing you would want to do is take that out of his game, as I say it needs focussing in a different way.

Personally I think its just a combination of frustrations, A. him having another injury riddles season and B. the team not performing.

Its a big off season and year for Harry, I do hope him not getting selected for England might focus his mind, it could go the other way and him thinking that he deserves to be there but its because he's playing in a bad team, from what Ive seen bits of his family on Facebook, they don't seem to be helping.

Everyone can see the potential in Harry but he really hasn’t done much in his career yet and his game isn’t mature.

Going forward he can be exceptional but the lad isn’t great in D at times and his passing is a problem. His attitude with referees and sometimes team-mates stinks.

Could be a cracking player in 3 years but is it worth putting up with him until an NRL club takes him just as he starts to add real value? Dunno.

He'll be 24 next year and should be hitting his prime years. Yet we're still talking about largely unrealised potential. Very big test coming up as to how we go about improving our management of the cap.

Re. Tigers player Christopher I’d rather we OQd on the 7 and 4 and signed Sam Eseh if he’s an attitudinal fit. But it depends on what the player can bring.

Personally I’m still interested in Tariq Sims he is a real high quality player when fit. But everything is a risk.

Expect 3 nrl signings, a prop, centre and a halfback. Wouldn't surprise me if we made a dig for chad Townsend or Brandon burns. I'd like either the prop or halfback to be experienced and to provide leadership.
Sims is well past it.
