I thought he got a nice upgrade his last contract. I thought it was about 500k per year for a long term contract ?

If that’s the number, that’s not top dollar. I’d say that’s pretty standard for a winger as experienced as he is.
 
Run on side: Luci and Brooks.
Bench: Joffa, Stefano, Tuilagi, Doueihi

A few others might others might make the squad.

If Noffa followed a decent coaches instructions he might make a run on side
 
Was underwhelmed with Drinkwater yet again last nite...hes pretty average at best,and wont add significant value to our struggling team.Better than Laurie,but hes no benchmark
Big difference between Raiders and Cowboys last nite vs WTs was
a)Edge defence a lot more reliable for both teams
b)ability to put a short kick thru the line when defence is flat ..Brooks has no idea how to do this,but Hastings does Im certain
Frankly Brooks shld be nowhere near the ball when a kick is required..in fact he shld be nowhere near the ball at any time..just make 40 tackles and job done

There's definately some players like those you mentioned that clubs would pick the eyes out of like Kelma and Lucy but still they would be benchies.
A mate of mine once said that no Wallaby would make the All Black side.
I told him that he was a bit arrogant, but when you think of their success and culture he's not far off the truth. Hooper for would make it, but the culture thing stands true.
Our team culture is $hit.
That's the main reason imo why we can't attract quality players.
You can pride yourselves on a hard work ethic, the extra effort plays.
An improved work ethic is what's needed now.

Team culture? Or raison d’être?
As Johnny Farnham unfortunately repeated a thousand times..give me a reason and I’ll come running. I think it could be at the heart of most of our problems?
With every logo change or home ground change or team song change serves to dilute what we should have built .

We've lost some top players in recent years. They've been replaced with subpar and average guys. Struggled to attract big name signing or anyone significant when they come to market. Until we pickup couple marquee players and some workhorse experienced players we'll be where we're at for very long time.

Nobody should be on half a million per season and making the limited contribution he is. He’s getting paid to be the top tryscorer like he nearly was when we signed him.

To highlight how bad our roster and depth is, how many players in our current squad would make a new club.
The only Wests Tigers I would choose are Stefano and possibly AD.
That sound pretty dramatic but if you went through every position, there are better players out their.
In essence, apart from Stef, we do not have any marquee players.
Next year we get 2 in Kori and Papa, that will make 3 top players.
Practically every other club has us covered in this scenario.
The reason we are struggling atm is because of our poor roster imo.

More importantly how many of them should be in our team next year if we could put the broom through?

The scary thing is Dolphins coming in and diluting the player ranks even further. Makes the job even harder for us.

Yep and the well is drying up.
Someone said next year there will be more to choose from but will prob only help us in 2024, perhaps.
 
Do you agree you can tell a good player by just the way he runs, a bit like judging a book by it's cover.
All the players you've mentioned look like footballers...do you know what I mean?

Brooks, Liddle, Ofa, Simpkin, Mikaele, Garner, Laurie, Talau, Seyfarth, Leilua, Tuilagi would easily make the squads of other teams. There are probably others I have overlooked and I apologise. to those players. Our squad is not as bad as you and others are making it out to be.

While their performances have not always been ideal, the reason we are struggling is due to poor coaching. We've gone backwards over the last three and a bit years. No re-writing of history will get around that fact.

Jesus Christ. Would easily make the squads of other teams? I'm assuming you mean the NSW Cup squads because there's no way you could be this delusional and devoid of any logical thinking. Even the ones not bolded with the exception of Leilua and Tuilagi would be lucky to make any other teams top 17 and you're deluded to think otherwise.

Apologise to the players? Performance not always ideal? Wow, just wow. I knew you were an apologist and enabler of player toxicity but I didn't realise you'd sink that low. I seriously wonder if you're employed by Wests Tigers because that pathetic attitude is exactly why the club is in the position it is in now and for the last 10 years; constantly pandering to a bunch of lazy bludgers who haven't achieved a damn thing on the field and are never held responsible.
