The Mole: Wests Tigers chasing Roger Tuivasa-Sheck

Tuivasa-Sheck in demand

The Wests Tigers are set to enter the battle to sign Warriors and Kiwi Test ace Roger Tuivasa-Sheck for 2019.
Still filthy at losing star fullback James Tedesco to the Roosters, the Tigers have identified Tuivasa-Sheck as the ideal man to replace him.
WWOS revealed last week that Tuivasa-Sheck is not happy at the Warriors, with Souths showing interest in him once his contract expires at the end of the upcoming season.

The versatile Lolohea is a class act - but the Tigers know he is better suited to either centre or wing, hence their interest in Tuivasa-Sheck.

Allegations of racism at Bulldogs

The Bulldogs election is getting dirtier and dirtier, with allegations of racism against several candidates now being bandied about.
With a heavy Lebanese population in their members base, the allegations have the potential to turn the battle for control of the club upside down.

I’ve looked into the allegations - and am convinced they are totally false.

But it shows the level of bitterness in the race, with the incumbents knowing they face a real battle beating the rebel ticket headed by Lynne Anderson, daughter of club legend, the late great Peter ‘Bullfrog’ Moore.

Knights rookie impresses

The Knights have plenty of fire power in the front row for 2018, but keep an eye on rookie Pasami Saulo.
The 19-year-old has just signed a new deal with the club and coach Nathan Brown has been so impressed with Saulo that he has been training him with the fulltime squad over the summer.

Rose back

There’s no keeping a good man down and cult hero prop George Rose is set to make yet another comeback in 2018.
He may be 34 and carrying a few extra kilos, but the former Rooster, Sea Eagle, Storm and Dragons prop is keen to give something back to the game.
Rose will be playing for Moore Park in the South Sydney district, mentoring young up-and-comers, in a team coached by his brother Matt.
