Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Westsboi2019]

With our luck he will end up being another Tom Dearden, can just picture what we cop in the media if that happens.

He should have picked a different team then, can't see that happening with Cleary and Luai at their prime

Weve done some clean out .Weve freed up a lot of spots on the roster
Weve got plenty of money .Weve got a lot of cap space
Weve got no signings ! Yet ?

Totally agree with you, another bad decision which we will pay for dearly. As per the norm at this club keep the shit and let the good ones go.

Jock decided to go be a backup at another club instead of being a backup at Wests.

Rts failed to make the all blacks squad, benji work some magic the kiwis would smoke the abs anyways 💪🏻

Get in there Benji

Is it just me or is Jock Madden a loss?

I can see him improving into a quality half we haven't had for the last 10 years.

WT always knew Jock wanted to be the FT starting half

But nah always insisted with Luke

Brooks pretty much has forced him out

This is all on Luke Brooks

Loved jocks game style, always did his job and the one that had BRAINS

Of course, I can see him improving into a quality half by a mile

Gonna miss Jock not in our colours 💔

Madden played well and had some highlights when the pack went forward. When we got smashed in the middle he was as ineffective as any half behind a beaten pack. In a good system he may surprise a few yet.

No more talk about Jason Bateman - can't see him leaving Hollywood and don't know what position he would play.

His NRL development was arrested

Contacts mate
Inside info
Can't give too much away just yet
Have to respect it

As per Jackos twitter, he's progressing very well though.

All good mate.. No worries

Devils advocate here... but SBW started his career injured often as well. Dont confuse me with saying they are the same player, though saying that some kids are injury prone because they havent grown into their body yet, almost like they can pack muscle and are willing, yet their bones and tendons arent on the same page. Blore isnt injured because he is small and overworked/unable.

Benji, Farah and Tedesco had a couple of injuries when they first started their careers with tigers.
After the tigers fixed up Tedescos knees he left, rooster's now enjoying.

I give Papali'i half a season before he succumbs to Wests Tigers syndrome (getting worse the more you play for WT).

Hope you are wrong. Of course the big if is whether our props can give him, and others, a platform on which to thrive.
Not a lot of opinion here on big Stef, was SOO reserve last year, injury plagued this year.
Always thought he had the makings of a good prop. Hoping he comes back fit and firing.

Jock is going nowhere a reserve grader , don’t know what some see in him

 

[craigtob]

What about Bradman Best?
A big body centre is what we are in need and I believe he is on the outer at Newcastle

 

[TurnStyle]

I guess this isn’t the exact right thread but just been reading about us being denied an early start to pre season training.
TS wanted to start Oct but NRL and RLPA said no one can start till November.
And no Sunday training in pre season.

Also article re problems with LO and possibly CS due to womenswear World Cup. We are currently working on alternative home venues.
We just can’t get our grounds sorted !
Be interesting ti see what they come up with !

Umm... concerning it looks like your autocorrect has "women's wear" Hal! 🤣

But do we know for sure that he was offered another contract.

The impression I got reading through the lines was that his agent was making a demand his client really didn't justify and Sheens told them where to go.

It read like that to me, and although not a great Sheens fan, did think "good on him" if this was the case.

Edit: apologies for my terminology; we tigers fans don't really remember the concept of "through the line"... 🤣

Can’t blame him. He will learn tonnes more over there and then be ready for full time halfback job in his following contract.
