Isn't Teig Wilton a relation of John Morris?

Nephew

Think I read 190cm and 112kg or something. Very athletic and aggressive.

Fox coverage of the game yesterday said he was 130kg..

He can run - just don’t expect him to hold the ball while he does… it’s bound to come out somehow

Isn’t that how they’re coached, release the ball when tackled. They all seem to do it

 

[finnzo]

we haven’t heard anything from the club for a while hopefully deals for nikora and pele are close to be been done

Only good thing is our cap is under control .the players we sign from now on fringe first graders or not .We need them to perform in any grade to create competition for spots. More pressure to perform should mean a bigger contract done the road at any side and yea we r still shallow on depth injuries haven't helped either .frustrating or not on this year I still think we are heading in the right direction for future years .we have 2 really good players coming nxt yr with a winning culture

All the excitement around Franklin Pele - He is playing off the bench in NSW Cup at 21. Not saying he can't make it but if NSW Cup bench players get us excited then no wonder we never get anywhere

He might be there because he's intending to go elsewhere?

Andrew Johns = Drug Cheat = No brains left

Martin Taupau was on the bench in reserve grade before we signed him as well.

I came on to raise this point . Glad someone else picked up on it .
Atleast with ponga he has get out clause so there is nothing bad being done . Brooks has two years and he is using his media profile to place pressure on club to get a player for a club he is consulting with and used to play .

In all honesty what the tigers really need is explayers or consultants in the media . Basically all the ex footy heads in fox and nine have association with a club and they all get favourable coverage and ripped by the media less as what is said on Tv ends up being the narrative run by others .

WT have so called supporters in boofhead James Hooper, Warren Smith. Then there are Benji and Blocker. Get nothing from them.

Andrew Johns ripping into Wayne Bennett for meeting with Kalyn Pongha while he is contracted to Newcastle is interesting. Wasn't he trying to lure Brooks to Newcastle promising to fix his game while he was contracted to the WTs?

Johns has no idea what double standards mean. Great player in his day but not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Not much has changed with the dogs overhauling their team hey.
26-0 and still 24 minutes left

And Thompson is no better than what we got going off this game

Melbourne is class everywhere, just not fair.

Martin Taupau was on the bench in reserve grade before we signed him as well.

He also played 11 first grade games in his last year with the dogs.

Great to see the Dogs who went out spending like wildmen in the dark , trying to buy a premiership getting trounced , u beauty i say . Addo Carr looks lethargic too 😂

Yet I bet the media wont flog them like the tigers. They are bog average.

 

[426Tlgerland]

Yes you would think we get a break from being the headline after that dogs game , but we are the tigers so probably not , I did must say I did enjoy the flogging they copped

 

[weststigerman]

Not sold on Pele. Looks 50-50 whether he’ll make it.

Need to identify blokes with experience, ticker and footy IQ. Fix that and we’ll at least be competitive.

 

[hsvjones]

I think its time we went out and brought 2-3 players of top quality and pay overs if we have to.. We need to turn this ship around urgently as this rubbish every week is killing our brand and fans.
Jason T, Munster, Haas, Nikora, Bird, Ponga, Walsh,
Not much available but lets make this happen as we deserve better.

Even if we don't get them it will at least lift the price to other teams.
