Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Not enough.
We need everyone in the 17 defending.
What Klemmer +Papalii + Stefano mean is we dont get Stomped.

Yet AD, Nofo, etc need to prove themselves and put their bodies on the line.

That is FINE.
We have enough team changes that we need to see what our team is like and where our weaknesses are.

No good signing Moses if Brooks fires behind the stronger pack. No good signing Crichton if Laurie fires.

IMHO I would target Olam to strenthen our backline. But lets see how we go in 2023.
I've given up waiting on Brooks to fire. It's not just about Brooks, Doueihi also needs to improve massively.
 
Can't get plan B until 2025 with Williams.

Moses is the best halfback with the best kicking game available right now. We need a halfback with a good kicking game. Like him or not if you want to see them play finals then people will have to suck it up
Some people think their personal vendetta is more important than getting the best player available in his position to help the team win more games.

Those same people will come back on this forum and everywhere else sooking about how bad we are.

I don't know about others, but I don't care what happened 5 years ago, a little dummy spit. I want to see Wests Tigers winning football games and being competitive.

Go and watch 2005 highlights and tell me you don't want those kinds of feelings back in your life! It's a hell of a lot better than choosing to be miserable about the way in which a player left the club previously.
 
Being used by Moses, tends to imply we are dumb. What happens with Moses , has been happening for years, between players and clubs. We tried hard, that's the main thing.
Klemmar,API,Papalii,Bateman signatures suggest that's not the case.

Even if we don't get Moses, Parra will have to fork out 10-20% more on thier offer which can't hurt us with future signings. Especially an up and coming Parra player who we can steal due to Parra overpaying their halves and fullback.
 
Looks like we lost the 3 way battle:

Moses => Re-signing with Parra
Crichton => Bulldogs
WT => Plan B

I'll wait until it all comes out but it's looking that way.
Me, I'm happy with our recruitment. Best we've ever done. You can't sign everyone, especially when you're holding the wooden spoon. I don't see that we lost any battles.
But I guess that you can't please everyone.
 
We have the following players who can play centre;-
Naden- a first class centre.
Kepoa;- has plenty of upside, is young and learning.
Feledy ;- shows great promise.
Topou ;- exciting and talented.
TT ; not sure if the forwards are his future, but impressive at training.
AD ;- has played centre with some ability.
Reilly ;- not much known about, but signed for a reason.
To'a ;- exciting and talented.
Bula ;- great wraps on ths kid, not in top 30, but can play 1,2,3, and 4.

Yet people are screaming to buy $700,000 players who may be no better.
Naden, is a very good centre, and we only need one of the above to have a pair, i like our chances.

Yea ah Nah.

Parramatta got the best players Available.
Moses
Gutho
Matterson

Heck they almost got a Premiereship.

But see the problem with the above. Money hungry GRUBS!

Good players, but good players alone do not make a team!

I'm not really sure what you're getting at here.

Moses would make our team better. Nothing else matters.

Comments like this are why opposing fans say we enjoy mediocrity. "Glad we didn't get the best players on the market, they would cost too much money".

That is not a consolation prize. The best teams with the best players win football games.

True but it's hard to get the best team when you are overpaying guys. Moses on that dollars should be the best player in the game and he isn't.

Why?
Because Naden so far has been on the wing. IMHO if he wants to stay there and make Nofo or Ken M compete for that spot full support to him.

Feledy, Reilly, Bula should get a chance. Excited about Feledy.

Kepoa i would like to see more of.

Talau, Toa, AD have all haD their chance. All failed to defend.
Naden for instance was a weaker defender in the Dogs lineup. He is our strongest.
 
The pack looks good. The outside backs aren't great but we need quality spine players first especially on those dollars.
I actually think the opposite.

Spine players = structured attack.

Strong Center/wings means we can defend our edge , work out defensive combinations and force the attack to the Center where Bateman/paps/Klemmer are.

Sheens/Benji will get the team scoring. Defense is the harder question.
