Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Teddy is truly a great player. Our biggest tradgedy

He was moving to Canberra w/o
Robbie's intervention. Would love
to see him retire as a Wests tiger,
would be an invaluable mentor.
Crazier things have happened.

Replace Tamou with Klemmer and our Middle forward stocks look great with Stefano, Pole, Twal and Joe Offa

Stefano, has a long way to go,granted he has had a few injuries this year but his form is way down on last year.
Let’s hope he might bounce back next year….Time will tell.

Clubs can offer 1.3 million or more to Suaalii but rooster's as usual will register a contract with the nrl for roughly 700, 000 the third party agreements are only working for roosters.

 

[earl]

Still haven't replaced him with anyone who is even 50% of the player he is.

True but he will always be a spoiled brat to me. I can't stand him.

Rugby Australia have earmarked
him for the 2025 British & Irish
Lions tour and Rugby World cup in Oz '27 he'll be hard to hold on to
given his pedigree even for Nick ..

Spot on

And the system has to change. You shouldn't be able to talk contract years in the future with a player or his manager. Clubs should not be allowed to approach someone who's under contract for 2 more years.
If the nrl wants to stick with this current setup than implement transfer windows. The only way you can talk to a player earlier than say 6 months before their contract expires is to submit an offer of a trade or other compensation and for both parties to agree to this, then and only then should you be able to approach a contracted player.

The current setup is an absolute joke. And it's designed so that the rich and powerful clubs can always convince good players to leave a smaller club.

if ciraldo gets the dogs coaching role Stephen Crichton will be there

You mean eventually? Is this a Bennett-Darius type thing?

Josh Schuster needs a rocket - bog average and lazy

Is it a rocket-shaped cake? He's become a rather big lad.

 

[jirskyr]

Who was the bloke who said Tedesco was cooked? He's pretty much the best player in the NRL currently. Been immense tonight

He's not cooked. He is however clearly starting to lose his peak athleticism, but he is a smart footballer and making up for his age. He's 29 already, time flies.

Schuster is a gun!

Woodsy would be a great signing back for the club , hope he joins up

Sheens was talking up a 17 year old hooker we have coming through on the radio with satts, any idea who he's referring to.

Da Silva

 

[liltiger]

Tallyn Da Silva....was a part of the Wests Harold Matthews undefeated team. Very highly rated.

Thanks mate, don't get to see to much of the young guys coming through, I wish they would go back to the days where you went to the games and could watch all 3 grades, because at a time like this where were not travelling to well at least we could see who was coming through and have some hope and see how they're developing in the lower grades over time.

I still can’t come to say , yay or nay, both sides of the argument are 100% correct.

Return of the Mack.

 

[Roar_Power]

I may have missed it but who were the spine players Sheens identified for 3 years time. Da Silva was one I presume but what about the rest?

 

[Go_You_Good_Things]

Josh Schuster needs a rocket - bog average and lazy

And hands like the Souffs Burgess

 

[Go_You_Good_Things]

There is absolutely zero chance of him coming to the Tigers.We could offer 2mil a season and Tasmania, he would still stay at the Chooks. The next big things don’t sign for cellar dewlers

Poor Tasmania . . . they don't even have a map any more.

Ammmm, he'd have to get clearance from his Misses first
