Additionally, given how many players the Tigers have signed, and on big money, how can they afford to outbid Penrith...unless Utoikamanu is already gone?

Penrith apparently won't budge from their 350k a season offer for Turuva. wouldn't actually be too hard to outbid.

Dragons reportedly have the biggest offer of 400k - 600k a season. he would get the bigger money if he was able to win the fullback spot

Strange, he's a fantastic player and with the money they've freed up from JFH, they can afford to budge. Turuva is a gun, whichever team gets him will be strengthened. I wonder what Penrith have coming through that makes them not worried.

Reports are saying it was only 100k more than Penrith offered, surely they could have matched. Anyway, good pick up for the Tigers.

Not bad value there really. Turuva is a good safe winger who is happy to work hard out of his own end. He can also play fullback.

Penrith have salary cap issues which is why they weren’t happy to match the deal

Souths are set to sign St Helens halfback Lewis Dodd on a 3-4 year deal starting from next season.

It's expected he will partner Cody in the halves. I would say they have lost faith in Ilias and that's his time up.

Very few halves have come over here and been any good though.

Dodd has looked great in ESL but that will massively impact St Helens, they've already looked weaker this year than previously and are basically a year ahead of where Penrith are. They won 4 in a row I think but lose in the PF last year, looking very much back to the pack though so far this year.

I reckon Penrith has this year in them and with all their outs next year, will still be fantastic but will come back to the pack considerably. I wouldn't be surprised if Penrith drop out in the prelim this year.

Putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5, i wonder if this has anything to do with a certain English forward currently coaching in England?

Great story coming out of the Cowboys, Chad looks like he is staying up north.

Honestly, the Roosters should be chasing Turuva, Tedesco is showing his age again and they have lost Manu and Suaalii. There is a fullback spot opening up there.

And on that point, why aren't the Roosters chasing players? They are looking thin next year and have freed up 80 million dollars in Manu going alone.
Broncos have a few players off contract in 2025... maybe they are saving up for that 😞
