It'd a signing that makes no real sense and would mean more square pegs in round holes so i'd be glad for this to be false.

Treigh Stewart is the kind of player that "could" be outstanding in SL, but its not guaranteed obviously. Don't know much about Cartwright, he could be a Lachlan Fitzgibbon style signing, or could be a Paul McNicholas

I'd be suprised, not the right player or position and has a lucrative 4 year contract at Wests.

Would eitger be a diaster or brillant and leave us after a year.

not worth the risk, think we need need a centre and Hooker more.

After reading the West Tigers fans forum we should stay well clear.

I can't see us using all that cap space on 3 halves, all would want to play. FWIW I think Sullivan would be decent over here but if we have signed abdull then where would he play?

If Pearson/Myler have agreed to pay 180k a year for a quota player who has played 34 games over 5 seasons then they have lost touch with reality.

They will also have some disgruntled players/agents asking for contract reviews and are setting a (very silly) bar for future signings.

Only way I see Sulivan is if he’s coming immediately and signing an 18 month deal that wests heavily subsidise next year. We would then run with the 3 pivots next year before one leaving.

Don’t see this transfer happening. He would suit SL a lot better than the NRL though

34 games over 5 years, the blokes 22. Still a baby in terms of rugby. He’s also played 28 NRL games in the last 3 years and I believe played every game for the tigers this year. Just picking stats to suit a narrative.

He could be on 180k a year but it doesn’t really matter if the west tigers are paying 100K of that.
