Wests Tigers Coaches

Da Silva is the 9.

Not sure who he's got earmarked for the rest of the spine. We've got a few good halves coming through but I'm not aware of any stand out at fullback. Cathane Hill is the only one that comes to mind but I don't think he's a sure thing.

Cathane is a gun

 

[Tigers_Wests]

Yeah definitely him.

Alex Conti might be another.

100 percent talking about Da Silva after listening to that interview. I reckon Heath Mason could be a chance of one of the spine he is talking about. Looks real good from what I have seen of him. Pretty sure he is rated highly in the club too.

 

[tony soprano]

From his own voice. He said he wants to go back when his contract at WT finishes. He won't be here in 2025.

That's concerning.

How stacked is our hooker options
Even for the future.

Next year...
Api,
Simpkin
Rua.


Then Tannous and Tallyn in the long view.

Sheens heading back to the GM role. Not sure where this England stuff coming from.

He’s a UK citizen now - I believe he might have married over there

Definitely a strength area for us moving forward! Amazing how we have gone from struggling in this position and needing a Harry Grant loan to get us out of trouble, to having the NSW hooker on board and then a whole heap of talented youth right behind him.

Sheens/Benji/Robbie implementing a lot more attacking footy should be the best for all these types of players too.

Can see simpkin being moved on since he's identified Da Silva going forward

 

[Odessa]

Good news, the entire 2005 team is back, playing in their favoured positions, Fitzy will spend half the match on the wing, then cycle through centres, 5/8th and a little bit of dummy half to finish the 80 mins off.

The memories

Simpkin got 3 years before the Tallyn take over.

 

[Needaname]

Who do we believe the spine and the young 17 yr hooker are...

DaSilva

All speculation. 😂

Future First Grade?

 

[Needaname]

I don't think the fullback will stay a fullback. Plays a bit like a forward.

Also, you're missing our only Australian Schoolboys rep - Chris Faagatu

What about the young centre we nabbed from Manly. His surely got to be in the conversation.

 

[TheDaBoss]

It's gonna be the rua show next year along side api 🤑🤑🤑🤑

Not sure about Luke Laulili. Clearly a talented player and with his brother in the forwards you could be right he could move there. Could make a really good centre as well though.

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

That is all well and good to identify future plans for when those juniors are first grade ready, but he has said they are 3 years off being ready. So we are in a holding pattern until then. This is essentially admitting the roster is no up to standard and we cannot attract talent to improve it, so we have to simply wait and hope other clubs don't poach those juniors in 2 years time.
So if he is admitting the roster isn't good enough and the club can not attract talent, why fire the coach that did actually convince two quality players to come here?

The way Tim spoke he said they had identified the juniors they wanted to hold and they had been secured as he said its impossible to hold onto them all and he hoped the one's secured would come through.He said our junior talent is very good and the pathways program is doing its job

You know what they say about drummers.
They're the ones who hang around musicians. 😉

Come on back Scotty - the Broncs don't need ya!
