Could Makasini be our future Fullback?

[mattyh]

Who knows how good he will be , looked good no dp
Doubt .

But i along with a few other posters wouldnt mind seeing the tigers keep a few , have a few good luck stories, maybe even male the 8 in the next year or 2 .

id barrack for the tigers as long as they arent playing the roosters or prob wahs been a kiwi . Im sure thatll upset a few on here who will say i shouldnt have a 2nd or 3 rd team , but well i do and it makes some non roosters games more fun for me.

Wouldn’t have the stamina to play fullback at that size.

There was something I liked about Rex’s game the other week.

Very Reece Walsh-esque. He is going to be a good one with the right coaching.

[Mr Whippet]

Imagine the gasping if we did another teddy and pinched one of their potential best talent in years.

I'm with you Mr Bates,, get them from anywhere, with narrow snake eyed ruthlessness, NRL dog eat dog. This aint the Matildas.

Nah, happy to put the chips in on Rex Bassingthwaighte instead.

What about Mitch Barnett Batesy, he’s outing of his 2027 contract with the Warriors.
Should we buy him as well?
We’ll just buy them all.
2025 was one of the most enjoyable seasons for me because of the fact that we basically bought no body & unearthed a lot of young up & comers.
1 last question when we buy Makasini where does Ponga play because you want him too.

I'm in the 'I hope Makasini plays 300 games for the Tigers and leads them to a Premiership' Camp.

I want the Roosters to win Premierships but people will catch on soon enough that the NRL is no fun when 3 of the Storm, Panthers, Broncos and Roosters finish top 4 every year and a combination of Warriors, Knights, Tigers, Titans, Dragons and Eels finish bottom 4 every year.

The NRL has a huge disparity problem which for some reason is never discussed.

Rather than add to the problem, let's focus on developing our own young talent.

100% and you're not doing anything wrong so no karma bla bla gonna get ya on the arse bla bla.

Uncle Nick is worth $2.5 BILLION. YES BILLION !!!!!!!!!!!!

How many Fords do you think he gave away for free. ZERO!!!!!!!!!

Batesy is going all caps lock brah

[Bates]

Tigers fans deserve free Kayo and a show bag but sod giving them or any other team a leg up when it comes to winning comps.

Winning a comp feels soooooooooooooooooooooooo good!

[kakaruk]

there is top class fullback written all over young Rex he will take over at the back in a couple of years

Yes I agree. Rex looks good for someone his age and stage of development. He’s also a Dubbo boy and growing up in regional NSW myself and with family there I always like to see the country guys doing well.

We need someone like Barnett.

Our pack is soft without JWH and no longer feared!
