Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Roar_Power]

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.

Loves a goose step!

maybe make up an animal half tiger half magpie.

Greame base might be able to do something . If you have kids look at the waterhole book

We are temporarily secure with Jacko and AD They are both signed with us to the end of 2023 season .No other club is allowed to make them any offers for 2024 and beyond till Nov 1
I bet that rule doesn't stop clubs and player managers having conversations
So worst case scenario is top players are offered multi year big money contracts for say 2024-2026 in November this year
What happens next is part way thru 2023 season player asks for early release to new club and performs so to make this happen
Well we could play that game too
There a whos who list of players with contracts only to 2023
So its possible to end up with a couple of more stars mid season next year
Cows got Lucy early

I'm in any player coming thru storm system interests me .They have an uncanny knack for spotting talent

 

[Buttface]

Thought that was Manly

Their obviously to manly for that.

 

[weststigers]

Taupau still unsigned for next year.

Worth a low value contract for a year.

A Fifita
M Taupau
W Graham

For 2023 lads…do it Tigers.

 

[426Tlgerland]

I’m shocked kapow has not been signed by anyone , he still goes ok and would be good for at least 1 year with ClubOp year 2
better than Tamou , but if Tamou wants one more I would give it to him under the new coaching team , these guys may get more out of some who have been average this year , I do think Jimmy wore his team on his chest , just didn’t have the cattle around him , along the lines as others like Brooks , we were a weak pack

 

[Stevec]

I agree tapau still going ok he's unsigned ?

Isn’t it funny how rudderless Melbourne were last night without their halfback, Jerome Hughes, a fantastic player. How would they go all season without him? Their great forward pack couldn’t even get them over the line. However, they will come back. As a Weststigers supporter, I had to laugh at the excuses from the commentators. The score flattered the Storms and I dislike Parramatta. Relevance to topic, we need a couple more quality experienced players. Go Weststigers!

 

[Camel2281]

I'm ok with the reported Staines/Peachey swap. I think we get the better outcome in that

 

[Roar_Power]

I would take Schoupp off the doggies hands if he was excess to requirement. Is a competitor. We need more of them.

 

[tigergal13]

Anyone know what happened to Liam Scolari?…he was supposedly a real flyer….and should be NRL ready by now ….he has not been mentioned

Did his ACL last year in pre season.
He should be ready to go for this pre season.

 

[tigerap]

Did his ACL last year in pre season.
He should be ready to go for this pre season.

He could jag a wing spot in the NRL side...from memory he is tall, strong and fast.

 

[diedpretty]

Omg I rest my case

You haven't presented anything to suggest you had a case in the first place.

 

[tigerap]

Or maybe he thinks he could be useful as a utility.
I don’t think Ivan even thinks about shafting us but I was disappointed when he left because we showed some fight when he was there and grafted out a couple of solid wins.
Would have liked him to stay to see how far the bus went !

I agree, our best performing period over the last 10 years was when Ivan was here...recall a game down in Canberra where we really grafted out a win...showed guts and determination...not seen it since. :-(

 

[tigerap]

I agree tapau still going ok he's unsigned ?

He wants $800k p.a. plus.....

 

[Camel2281]

He wants $800k p.a. plus.....

I'd pay him that. Total over a 2 year contract though

 

[diedpretty]

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

And leave leichhardt, that's Balmain

Yea i'm over these whingers who whine about Wests Magpies being our feeder club and lets get rid of our past and in the next breath call leichhardt our spiritual home ground. Bunch of hypocrites.
