Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We’d be a better chance of bringing Tedesco back when he’s 35 and graciously wanting to do a LeBron with Cleveland.

Where do you start. On field results, front office, the fact rookie coaches turn us down, it doesn’t bode well for chasing marquee players. When has a Rooster ever left Bondi to come to the demountable‘s at Concord?

Tod Payten in 2004, can't think of any others

There's been a few (Matterson, Momorovski, Kepoa etc) but you're dead right. The good ones won't leave Bondi for us. Very few good players leave the Roosters full stop let alone come to WT.

He’d be nice. But again, if the Cows are entering a premiership window, to leave in the middle of it to come down here and be “development” coach, he’d be certifiable.

Is there any chance that a dental surgery can be added to the COE? Those new teeth don't maintain themselves.

Speaking of the COE, does anyone know when it is now due to open? I assume there'll be some lavish ribbon cutting ceremony.

I should have clarified. Marquee players, which the majority of them are. AJ and Momo were looking for opportunities. Matto was a good get, but even at the time he was a bench player.

Not sure, but it’s 1.01 that Lee will be cutting the ribbon.

IMHO, the foundation (props and 2nd row) has to be there before we argue about the colour of roof tiles.🐅

In that case, we’ve had no foundation since Ellis left.

Hey everyone I've been a long time follower of the forum I posted a bit a few years ago other than that it's been lots of browsing since then 😂 I have info on Brandon tumeth current contract status the source of this info is very reliable.. and I wouldn't be posting this for no reason if I felt this was not true. So apparently Brandon was all set to extend with us until Brett kimmorlly stepped in and offered his 62k for next year and guaranteed 110k for the year after.. the problem with this is that that amount of 62k is less than what he is on now he's been told to pay his own super aswel ontop of manager fees.. kimmorlly and Brandon have clashed in the past the part I don't understand is why is kimmorlly getting involved with contract discussions isn't that sheens job? His management have said come back with something better by Friday because they have meetings with the raiders and eels next week. His mother and management are ropeable let's hope sheens can smoothe this over or else we are about to loose another good junior due to poor management.

 

[weststigerman]

Still don’t have decent front rowers

Should be number 1 priority IMO

Will that's crap news if true

But hard to believe as I don't think Noddy would be in control of that

Surly he wouldn't be

That is disgusting if it is accurate (not doubting yout word).Kimmorley should be only concentrating on coaching and shut up in other matters.At this stage his coaching is not good

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Lose Brooks and Douhie and go hard for Manu and Burton
1. Manu
2. Nofo
3. To'oa
4. kepoa
5. Ken M
6. Burton
7. Hastings

 

[hank37w]

It was a "report" by James Hooper saying Brooks was to be dropped. To no one's surprise, James Hooper to be wrong once again.

Love the way Wests Tigers leak stuff to "Scoop Hoop" and then after he reports it as an exclusive we do the opposite to make Hoop look like Poop.

That's exactly what I thought about kimmorley stepping In like that. It didn't make sense to me but I'm told this what 100% happened. Il pass on more info in the coming days of how this all pans out.

 

[hank37w]

You do know that Pom's been around for over a decade, right?

Doesn't seem to be around any more.

Try searching the registered members list, doesn't seem to exist any more.

Who ever he/she was, may have found it a bit hot if in fact the club were looking for a rat/leaker and has since left the building or is lying low.

Thanks for the info. I hope Tumeth is re-signed as I rate him #1 priority out of any pathways junior we have - aggressive, great D & line-running backrower. I'd say Kimmorley is involved as Head Coach of Pathways and I'm sure Betsey is involved too at this level. What that suggests to me is another season as a Development Player with upgrade to Top 30 the season after that. I would be positive Sheens is involved too and would be doing what he can to retain him as a generational talent (and he witnessed live Brandon in the U19s SOO).

Surely the family's decision will come down to more than just a few $$$ over 2 seasons and some disagreements with one member of the football staff. Tumeth will have great opportunity to progress into First 17 at Tigers than Raiders & Eels and become a real junior leader at the Club in a few seasons.

Welcome back Steve....good name that 😁
If what your saying is true then that makes me bewildered.
Noddy is a caretaker coach and it's not his roster unless there's more to Noddy's involvment that meets the eye 🤔
