  • You can bet the sharks and roosters will be waiting
    • Sharks don't want him. He's a forward under 30.

      • I don't know that I'd be making comments like that one Super, given our history of signing over 30s forwards in recent years ....

        • How many forwards over 30 have we signed? Beau Scott, Vave and Watmough in the past 6 seasons? 

          T-Rex - 29

          Mannah - 30

          Vave - 33 (31 when we signed him)

          Matagi - 30 (28 when we signed him and now overseas)

          Evans - 26

          Terepo - 26

          Tepai - 22

          Alvaro - 25

          Ma'u - 29

          Niukore - 22

          Gower - 32 (28 when we signed him)

          I've maintained that anyone claiming we have some kind of retirement home for ageing forwards is complete BS and someone looking for a lazy excuse as to why we've struggled this year.

    • Is Vave 33 or 29? Different birth years shown on different sources
  • Ive thought all along we are a good chance to get him, id not be suprised if you are right here Tone

    • I don't know if he will make our squad unless we lose Vave and possibly a couple of our backrowers. 

      Paulo, Mahoney, Tapau

      Lane, Moreoa

      Brown

      Reserves

      Nuikore, Mannah, Alvaro and a Utility is a handy pack indeed except it means no Vave,Mau and Evans.

      I think you need a spot for Terepo as well

  • My top 6 predictions may yet come to fruition. ;)

"If he is top 30, then it is a deal already in place when he signed last year. This would not be a reaction to Lomax leaving.
Similar to like Latu and Funa-Iuta, who are on development for 2026 and top 30 2027."

"I have now seen one outlet reporting the case. Unless his deal, which was a two year deal, was 2026 development and 2027 top 30 which is common."

"With a new team coming into the market, teams are prioritising keeping what they have and those who are on the market are using Perth as bait for higher wages. 
It is the same as the market has been bare for a few years due to the cap going up year…"

"Yeah good point, if Lomax wanted to stay we keep him. But also i have heard Ryles was not too fussed, feeling the price for a Winger was too high."
