We would be attractive to those Gold Coast players. If they go well, just demand a release and we will roll over again and go back to the drawing board

@jirskyr said in Wests Tigers sign young Queensland duo: @happy_tiger said in Wests Tigers sign young Queensland duo: @mike said in Wests Tigers sign young Queensland duo: @happy_tiger said in Wests Tigers sign young Queensland duo: @GNR4LIFE said in Wests Tigers sign young Queensland duo: Anyone else worried about these 2 getting homesick? Them killing it and then getting homesick for QLD is a bad combination. Maybe i’m jaded given everything that’s happening with Matterson, but it would be a shame if one or both of these guys become guns then can’t adjust to Sydney life. Might be why they recruited both …they live together …maybe organize a share house with Mikaele Keeping our Qld brothers together is the key Are you going to their house Mum? My point was when the Brisbane boys all went to Canberra in the late 80’s they kept many of them together …remember there were heaps of them Gary Coyne , Steve and Kevie Walters ,Sam Backo , Peter Jackson ,Gary Belcher , Meninga …then did the same with the Kiwis Todd , Pongia , Wiki , Lomax etc Mikaele is the only Qlder who has re-signed at the WT’s Corey Thompson. Bit of a nothing argument isn’t it? How many QLDers have WTs signed ever? We have two right now (can’t think of more) and McQueen would love to resign if he could. Mbye hasn’t had the chance. The point was trying to prevent homesickness …I was trying to produce an answer …or other clubs answers

@Yossarian said in Billy Walters expected to sign with Wests Tigers within days: @jirskyr said in Billy Walters expected to sign with Wests Tigers within days: @PrattenParkMagpie said in Billy Walters expected to sign with Wests Tigers within days: @hsvjones the player and coach can tell the world anytime they like but the club has a 10 day cooling off period before they can announce it. Also there may be some general agreement not to announce signings of players from clubs still in the finals race, whether or not they are actually being picked. Ultimately I don’t think it matters one jot. Who cares if Billy is announced tomorrow or December 10th, what difference does it make to fans for Round 1 2020? If he’s signed, he will do pre-season training, regardless of how quickly we hear about it. I can’t understand some fans sometimes, who cares if Madge mentioned it on TV but there’s been no press release? Isn’t the word from the coach himself sufficient? You need the paperwork. It’s the same as some folks criticising the club for not announcing Robbie Rochow’s retirement early enough. Seriously who cares, why waste energy on it. Wait a minute - Robbie Rochow is retiring? (Screws up membership renewal form) hears that Jennings is getting a 2 year extension (un screws memebership form)

@TheDaBoss said in Lawrence to weigh up future after ruling out Super League move: @WT2K said in Lawrence to weigh up future after ruling out Super League move: @Tigerboy said in Lawrence to weigh up future after ruling out Super League move: @Geo said in Lawrence to weigh up future after ruling out Super League move: @Earl said in Lawrence to weigh up future after ruling out Super League move: @Newtown said in Lawrence to weigh up future after ruling out Super League move: @happy_tiger That last 20 minutes last Sunday equates to an unnecessary heavier workload on players like Matterson. No wonder some players like Matterson are getting a bit touchy when “special” players like Farah seem to get all the favours. Is this based on any sort of objective fact like for instance Matterson stating that he wasn’t happy with Robbie getting any time even in those circumstances. Personally if Matterson is like that I want him out of the club. I definitely don’t think he is like that though. You think Matterson and Twal would have carried Farah off on their shoulders if he resented him playing…I don’t or the Lebanese dance he did for his 300th… It’s going to be a long off season…go fishing happy… LooooOoOOoOooOong Very LooooOoOOoOooOong Time travel? Quantum Realm …you old fogies

So just reflecting on the past dozen or so Comments in this thread - don’t forget that piece of puss masquerading as the games CEO commented in February that it was most important that the game was ‘fair’. I’m telling you now, this piece of horse dung is incredibly dangerous. He will suck up to ch 9 and a team will disappear. His sole intention is to leave his print on the game. It will be at the expense of thousands of loyal supporters. Sorry - drifted slightly left of topic.

Zero Tackle is just a bunch of unpaid bloggers from what I can tell. Might as well quote what someone on here said - there’s no insight, expertise or actual journalism involved. 6, 7 or 8 out of 10 and “might be good, might not”. Just noise.

@avocadoontoast Judging by the way Madge does business this sound correct to me… We have a task to do this week and don’t need unnecessary questions about recruiting coming up… I am really impressed with the professional standards he has brought here.

@TYGA said in Apisai Koroisau: I can tell you as a fact the Bulldogs had penciled in Api and Ese Ese. I was at an event at Belmore and they were telling everyone the deal was done a week ago. Panthers must have paid big as the dogs were offering 500k. Contracts are strange in the NRL clubs with space and cash seem to miss out more than any other sport in the world . Old Bulldogs have had a bad run lately of getting new players up to the line and failing to get them across, and for those almost-deals becoming public knowledge.

@OzLuke said in Twal: @balmain-boy said in Twal: We have a pretty good prop rotation for now, Mikaele and Aloiai as impact props, Twal and Eiso the work horses. We could upgrade Clark to someone a bit more powerful and then we’d be looking good. As a 6th/7th choice prop he’s ok though. Should we chuck a million at Fifita and hope he comes here in 2021? wow a mill would be a truckload of cash for him…if he plays 60 minutes + then sweet but man alive… The Warriors are supposedly going to offer him around a million a year. If he’s the next Taumololo then locking him in and paying him accordingly is fine. He’ll be on minimum 700k. We’ll have to pay significantly more than what the Broncos or Roosters would offer so yeah, about a million. Compares to the money we gave packer and reynolds he’s a much better bet, but yes it’s still overpaying.

@LARDS @LARDS said in The Madge factor has Marshall torn between signing off and playing on: @Masterton said in The Madge factor has Marshall torn between signing off and playing on: @supercoach said in The Madge factor has Marshall torn between signing off and playing on: @Geo …GI was medically retired by the NRL and he had a long history with his battles with mental health issues. I think the NRL can rubber stamp It, it just might mean we have to pay Mats the dollars instead of a insurance company. Of course we are talking WestsTigers, so yes it’s a million to one to happen Inglis just retired, foregoing the money in his contract. No NRL intervention needed. But didnt he then got given a “Robbie Farah Style” job at the club? Obviously he now has a job there. However, it’s about a million dollars less AND the club weren’t dumb enough to guarantee it before he retired.
