Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Bit rich from Gildart. Been there five seconds, had three runs for SFA in 20 minutes and thinks he's a rockstar now. Stay there ya muppet, good luck padding out reggies at Easts next year when everyone is back on deck there.

We need players who want to be on the bus. Ivan started that and we were much more competive then.
Same applies now, you’ve got to have a team that will buy in to what the new coaching group is selling !
Of course, no one is actually sure what that is at present but would love to be at the first session in November to hear what they say.

If anyone watched the Knights v Raiders game yesterday, what did you think of Matt Croker? A lot are talking up Frizzel and he has been a good player, but Croker seems a rough customer and a Taree lad.

Looks good. I have seen him in a couple of games and don't understand why he doesn't get more game time. Big body with a good turn of speed.

Announcement of haircare products.
We are crazy. One minute we are hacking into Pascoe for interfering with the football team and talking crap in the media.
Now we are bagging him for not saying anything.
I'd rather him not to be seen and hear more from our so called saviour Tim Sheens.

He’s going to say we have ten players injured or missing, but that otherwise, the performance was unacceptable and that we are making changes.

We are in negotiations with marquee which he can’t discuss and the usual stuff.

Tick all the pr boxes.

He’s not going to go through item by item of poor decision by the board and officials.

He excels in explaining failure. Plenty of practice.

But he should be out and about, facing the music, I agree.

And as Paws and Claws said he’s a Taree lad, whatever that means.

 

[Newtown]

Sorry, and score tries !

Then he won't fit in well with the Tigers' type of players the club is keen on signing.

Is he on the 247 Podcast some times....
Just re-signed until end of 2024

Didn’t take a backward step

Just wondering, is there a central list of players available for recruitment or do you have to go through each clubs website to piece together ?

Lee is shit at his job then. What has his talking done for the club up to this point?

Well he is the principle of a Law firm. So he is highly successful. So he is better at his job if you look at career success than more than likely every poster on here and it wouldn't be close. If I'm batting at an average of 40 Lee is averaging 100.

I don't think his talking has helped the club but I also don't think it has hindered it.

In this specific instance he should talk to Sheens. He is the chairman of the board and that was a debacle that Sheens oversaw. I think it would be considered completely incompetent not to speak to the boss of football operations in this instance.

Agree. Which is no doubt why they met yesterday ( not confirmed). Of course we will never know the details of that meeting unless there is some mileage in it, most notably for Lee, coz if he got a kick up the bum, Sheensy would never reveal that.

Yeah of course. Just rich coming from a bloke who was playing reggies for the worst team in the comp, loaned out for an injury crisis, was just about the only bloke in his team not to score and then goes on to put the slipper in.

Get [This word has been automatically removed]ed Gildud ya goose.

Yes HB 61, ( centre partner of Bob Mara ?) Good question.! Not taking into account our own juniors, I think we need a big hard front rower.another, 2nd rower , strike centre and depending on LB staying , a class 5/8. If he leaves we need a new half pairing. Sides like Penrith, souths and others have young players behind young star players, they won;t wait around for 2 yrs on poor money. Even if we sign them for 2024, these sides will release them early rather then block the pathways. I think this might be SHEENSYS plan.

I'd heard he'd re-signed....

So we now have 2 players we've loaned out saying how happy they are that they're not playing at WT.

That's not a glowing recommendation to any players when we're trying to recruit. I wonder if Sheens thought about that, before agreeing to do this.

Sheens is too busy massaging his ego and counting the dollars to worry about mundane matters like that

 

[weststigers]

Not sure what our cap situation is like moving forward but this is the only play I can think of. Identify 5 quality players being underutilized at their current club. Invite them all to dinner/drinks. Tell them that you know that the club isn't attractive for one player but if we can recruit 4 or 5 of you to the club together we will be a whole new team. Give them each an envelope with their offer. Offer a little overs to each of them. Tell them the offer is firm as we can't increase one without decreasing another. Leave the dinner with an open bar tab and hope they bond and want to join together.
Beyond something like that I can't see why any one player would be interested.

Jeez…when you put it like that, it sounds so simple! Almost visionary! Have you considered working for an NRL club before?

 

[Halbrowne61]

That's right, AOB has been involved in four grand finals you know.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Good response LOL

In fairness to him, he sounds like he's overqualified to be working at WT.

We reek of desperation. From our heads of agreement, to sacking Madge and everything in between.

Time for a new board, chair and ceo
