Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

With David Fifita on 1.2M (apparently), would he be worth Tim asking (Titan's management) the question about? I think us at 800K, with Titans chucking in 400K, might work for both parties. Frees up 800K for them and we get a gun. I think that the 800K we would be paying would be slight overs, but it's be a handy 2RF pairing (him and Ice).

You'd definitely ask them the question.

Nah, I’d much rather watch blokes on the precipice of making it as an elite athlete than a Mickey Mouse league. Sorry if the truth hurts.

Watch Jersey Flegg or Q cup then. How many ‘elite athletes’ make it via NSW cup? Looking across most other teams cup teams the majority of the players haven’t had a game of first grade. And frankly that’s the way it should be.
Except for rare individual cases if you haven’t made a debut by the time your too old for Flegg your probably not much chop.

This is a fair point, but that’s only been the case since they went away from the reserves competitions being the pathway to first grade.

It was a good system.

Granted, it was a NSWRL system, but it can be adjusted to work with QLD teams.

Point 5 difference is we are a merger and are called wests tigers.
I do not particularly want to support a nsw cup team called Western Suburbs Magpies e.g. this is not wests tigers.
Sydney Roosters use Norths
Manly use blackthorn
fine they are one entity they are not a joint venture

If the club truly wants to end a divide the nsw cup team shoukd be wests tigers

It rife through the supporter base. Management has done a disgraceful job of building a club. We're still standing where we were 33 years ago.

Most successful mergers in sport or business usually come up with a whole new concept. (Unless it's a takeover.)

Honestly, if we called ourselves the wombats - pooled the resources together when the merger started and played out of a new stadium, and had one game a year honoring the history of both of the clubs for the first 5 years only it would have been much more successful.

Also, more on-field success would have made most of the issues go away.

In h

In is best ever season for us - He wins 40% of the time....
Kid can play...
Might even improve if he ever learns it ain't all about him.

People saying he's on the hop to a better team - To Where? Which one?

There's not one team in the top 8 that he'll take the 6 jersey
- Even at the Storm, He "might" be a "Chance" "IF" Munster moves on - Or position (But they ain't getting rid of Paps) outside that, Maybe the Sharks
- They can fit him.... The rest, They've already got better.

Now he could move out of state (Out of home) to another team (That he doesn't know)
- Where he's not a local junior and is basically a nobody....

Or - He can pull his head in a touch, Shut the F*ck up and get it done here....
I'm not fussed if he stays or goes - If it's all "Too Hard" for him, He mays well get packing.

The rumours about Storm chasing AD have obviously been player management inspired.
Bellyache would be laughing his head off!
 
Rather than Staines the player i'd be going after is young Sua Faalogo at the Storm. Livewire fullback/five-eight/winger. Lightning fast, super agile and elusive. Hard working and smart player too. Kicks goals and field goals too. He's crucified Balmain on more than one occasion.

We have a few Fijians at the club now with the 4 Saukurus and Kautoga, maybe they can get in his ear. He is signed up to the Storm until 2024 though, not sure if it's only as a development player though but wouldn't be on much.

He's a young Matty Bowen type.

Check out the try he scored in QLD cup on the weekend. Jump to 38 seconds. https://www.qrl.com.au/news/2022/08/29/round-20-highlights-falcons-v-dolphins/

Definitely agree and posted something similar about him a couple of months back. Must be really good mates with Pole too....as he is always posting Faalogo's highlights on instagram. With a blocked pathway at the storm, we should be looking at ways to get him to come across. Nofa permanent trade??
