Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[The SHADOW]

I love opinions, but some people have alpacas chasing lamas in the head.🤣🤣🤣🤣

I hope this is incorrect. Thompson has had as much impact as a wet sponge at the Dogs.

If dogs need to offload cause of cap issues and pay some of the freight , he could and needs a change.

The Dogs would have to provide one mighty subsidy to WTs. Besides, I'd rather make them keep him and aim at other players in their roster which they may be forced to release under cap contstraints.

100% he’s a tough hard working with the ability to break the line he’s an upgrade on musgrove

Just to comment on what the shadow said
How many times have we been favourite to sign a player All for it to play out in the media for weeks with media heads saying don’t go to the tigers it’s career suicide I can name at-least 5 big name players who have knocked us back

This is a much better approach we won’t know who they are chasing until they are signed

Some may argue there is nothing going on behind the seens but this Is Tim sheens benji Marshall and Robbie Farah we are talking about they are up to something and I have a lot of confidence in them

We are talking about our greatest , that is 100% right. Look we are all watching , if they fail, I’m not holding back.👍

Fair call.

Wouldn't expect many announcements until seasons finish up...particularly for those teams fighting for finals positions. Would be a big distraction to hear that X player in your squad has signed with a new team just as finals are about to begin. I feel that there will be some signing news coming. Just when the time is right.

Fair call.

Scolari, Tauloga, Tumeth, O'Kane, Tupou are all players I am hoping we will see in the Top 30 next year. Matamua to follow the year after.

Like it or hate it, media have to churn out stories faster than ever before.
Like on this forum, something sticks, it’s their job, job done if your talking about it, adding fuel to some fires. If you didn’t come up with some crap along the way , you’d be out of a job. Look at Hoops and KenTy, rubbish stories because people have zero respect for them.

Correct, that’s why B Arthur and the IPap has derailed there season.
I warned this.

Newcastle Knights appear a club with some serious cultural issues at the moment.

Two players dropped this week missing a bus and two players caught in toilet doing whatever.

I would love WT to look at Klemmer, Frizzel (two years whilst the young crop of Second Rowers are developing) and if on the outer Bradman Best (quality centre and fills a need).

Cronulla and Penrith seem to have a production line of props so maybe entice one of them over.

Agree, we need a couple of props who can knock the froth off a cappuccino.

Totally makes sense.

I was keen on Royce Hunt, but he just re-signed with the Sharks. So I would definitely be having a crack at Spencer Leniu. Would be the perfect impact player to come off the bench imo.

@THE_POM & @CloudyGlock know as well as me that it’s quiet.
I hate name dropping and answering for others X 2 mentioned in my post.

 

[The SHADOW]

We are not a laughing stock, we are WESTS TIGERS.
We are changing our image and there is little to suggest we are going backwards. There’s nothing to laugh at.
If you want laughing stock , I give you , Parramatta, Newcastle Dolphins, Titans,Warriors, Dogs,Manly,StGeorge, see what I mean.🎯

 

[crazycat]

If Musgrove and Seyfarth are on the bench it wont matter whose starting that is a terrible terrible terrible bench with 2 spots wasted

Meh:
14 Alex Twal
15 Fonua Pole
16 Zane Musgrove
17 Alex Seyfarth / Tommy Talau

Zane is starting for us this week. Seyfarth is 17. IMHO you would put Tommy Talau in for back's coverage. Bigger problems.

Bulldogs came last and then signed Burton, AddoCarr, TevitaPangai,
Vaughan , Burns , Stimson , Duffy, plus a couple more and now they have signed Ciraldo and Viliame Kikau . And a bonus unearth new star like Kiraz
Not bad got no idea how they fit all inside their cap
Now latest Stephen Crichton might also go to dogs
Which is what some are saying about us "going to the dogs"
Turnaround is possible after all 2 years ago everyone regarded dogs as a hopeless case . Incredible how Barrett couldn't get results with the roster he had .
If we have an image problem recognise it and put PR plan to fix it in place
Pascoe that's your job

Most of the dogs signings have been undesirables.

 

[sparci]

Those guys at Manly, while would be an improvement to our squad, have clearly divided the club...no thanks we don't need the drama. We can cause that just fine on our own.

And therein lies our problem. I dont give a shit what they do off the field (barring the obvious limit), if theyre good football players you attempt to sign them. This club is too worried about its image and how the kids perceive it

 

[Demps]

William Kei - Gone. RMC player.
Jock Madden - Unsure where his future will be.
James Roberts - hopefully no contract offered moving forward.
Tommy Talau - hopefully the club offers T&T or one year deal or something.
James Tamou - likely retires.

Anyone see different ?
