Isaiah Papali’i #265

[hammertime]

Same happened around Matt Burton when heading to the doggies last year. Pretty sure he's there.

 

[matchball]

nope wrong - takairangi was dumped before he got here by the incoming coach

If i recall correctly, the next time he played us he got a hat trick against us.

 

[FinestTigers]

This story from yesterday has now changed from i was only coming here for Madge to supposedly him now saying i'm worried about the direction that the WT are heading into.

The direction of the WT and the better than expected debuts of our juniors is clear evidence that we are heading in the right direction

This story has nothing to do with the clubs direction or Madge.
These recent stories about Isaiah not wanting to come are nothing but garbage,
What's obvious now is that the slimes hate us with a passion and they would love to cause more harm on the WT.

I hope that this time, Lee uses all of his legal expertise and make them all pay for their devilish dirty tricks.

Brad Takairangi 🤪

He didn't request a release, the new coach asked not to sign his contract. I believe Takairangi never, technically, signed a deal with the Tigers, he only verbally agreed to terms.

Same thing's happening now around Matt Burton still being at Doggies in 2023, with Barrett getting the punt... we shall see I suppose.

Once he has the job who is gonna sack him?

Coastguard?

Maguire is not here and that is for a reason. It's history now.

History 🤔 Getting rid of every coach has worked really well for the past 10 years
We now have no coach and grasping at straws.

It’s always the coach. We heard it with Potter, Taylor and finally Madge. Yet we never seem to go on to bigger and better things 🤔

Yep and history repeats

What outcome did you expect with his results?

He sacks himself and finds something else he wants to do. I've done that with many of my jobs.

Here's a couple of what I see as highlights to this appointment =

Young players going to benefit from Sheen's knowledge
Our assistant coaches with succession planning in place for the future

It won't be repeating the Wests Tigers self mocking documentary. That would turned off many likely new recruits to the team.

 

[Lauren]

Can't agree more about how amateurish that sounds and would be further advising him that he has signed a contract and not to bother taking advice from scum bag low lifes like current team mates Matterson or Moses because even Jesus Christ wouldn't be able to change the fact that his next move is to report for induction and pre-season training on 1st November.

Parra are losing quite some talent at the end of the year and it honestly wouldn't surprise me one bit that they're having second thoughts about Papalii.
I honestly reckon he's been their best player.
They clearly undervalued him and there's regrets in how they handled it. So it makes sense that it's them starting trouble.

There'll be no buyers' remorse on our part. He could be the buy of the season. Our young players will learn a lot from playing with him, especially how hard work paid off for him.

Fingers crossed.
Have enjoyed watching both him and Korisau this year, they've been absolutely killing it.

 

[Curaeus]

Absolutely zero chance Lee or Sheens would ever agree to release him just because he was having second thoughts.

If the succession planning includes ex tigers players on the gravy train then I’m concerned…

 

[Nelson]

Of course it does. The class of '05 needs to keep taking its tithe out of this club.

Farah has business interests and Benji media commitments so they are both gainfully employed/occupied besides WTs. I see it as players being loyal to WTs and coming back to help. Their combined knowledge could make all the difference with advancing the careers of our young players and also retaining/recruiting players. I fail to find a negative in that.
