Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Whoever was responsible for not upgrading and extending Tedesco well before he came off contract, should be sacked

We tried and offered overs. What more can you do?

While I like the reports that Benji is sounding people out to gauge interest, can someone confirm if he is actually allowed to do that to players contracted for next year (i.e. Cam Munster) prior to Nov. 1?

You can talk you can’t negotiate.

If we sign Bateman, Leinu and Tedesco, retain Hastings are we a happy lot?

You can talk you can’t negotiate.

You can’t table an offer.

No more Brooks at 7 … proven this year it’s not his spot.

Brooks 7 Dylan brown 6 yes for sure

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Brooks 7 Dylan brown 6 yes for sure

I would like to share you optimism, but Brooks had 10+ years to show that he can play, with the classy players better than D Brown e.g. Marshall, Moses, Farah, Tedesco, and he failed miserably

From what I’ve read on here is that you can talk to anyone anytime as long as you don’t put forward a contract and coerce them to break their current contract??

You might think this post is in the wrong thread but it goes to who we should be signing. There's a book by Gary Lester called "Clouds of Dust Buckets of Blood", which is a history of the Western Suburbs Rugby League Club". In it there's a wonderfui quote from Noel Kelly in which he says:
"There wasn't one Wests player I didn't want to play with .... not one dud. I loved Wests. It is the greatest club in the world. To put a Wests jumper on was equal to wearing an Australian jumper."

Wouldn't it be great if we could say win, lose or draw, there wasn't one dud in our team. And, if we could say the players feel a great honour to play with Wests Tigers and prize the jersey highly. I said something in an earlier post about culture, or the lack of it at WT. We should be recruiting players who have these characteristics and, more important, we should be making sure our juniors are imbued with this spirit and want to play with WT above all else.

Pipedream? I hope not.

Brooks 7 Dylan brown 6 yes for sure

Pezet 7 Dylan Brown 6

Sounds like Benji is texting everyone. Time will tell if the "spray and pray" approach works. There is a fairly good chance it will backfire.

Maybe he needs to stick a gun to their heads and make them an offer they can’t refuse 😂

You Believe - Or you hope?

He couldn't really have been considered an "Asset" Before any injury....
Just another big kid with natural talent that never really had to earn it.

Seen 1000 of them Swallowed by NRL before - He looks to be no different to me.

BB, there is plenty of hope in my post 😉

Al Pacino told his fiancé that his father (the Godfather) had arranged a release for his nephew from a Hollywood agent. His fiance naively asked how that was achieved - Pacino says neutrally he made him an offer he couldn't refuse - he would either have his signature or brains on the release.

Has there been any credible links with Bateman possibly coming over, or is it coming from Kent saying were looking at a couple of pom's?

The real question is how are we going to fit Munster, Dylan Brown, and Tedesco in the salary cap 😂

Easy, we employ the Rorters or Dogs accountant!😁

Imagine we went after Tedesco, Manu, Keary, Tupou, Crighton, JWH, Radley, Sualii, Walker.. how would we fit them under the cap????
