Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Camel2281]

We're also putting a lot of stock into a former NRL coach who hasn't coached here in a decade, after we sacked him mind, and two guys just about to serve the first year of their apprenticeship as an assistant coach.

I'm very glad Furner was added to the mix. He's got heaps of recent experience at least

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

What choice do we have? Haha

I'm not sure. How hard did we look for another coach?

 

[teddy23]

Shaun Lane can talk to clubs come November 1st... both Moses and Brown too

Perfect time to sneak our way in - Papalili and Lane as second rowers have showed success may as well keep it going

We trusted Maguire for three (3) years, a coach that coached Souths to the top, and he managed to destroy our defence, and in the process did not improve our attack!
There was a hope that more NZ players will sign for us, but we signed Matulino, and Packer??
We are in a desperate position, so I certainly prefer a coach that transformed us before, to a coach selected by Footy show celebrity:
- who never done a thing for the WT, and
- who never coached the NRL team!

Matulino and Packer were signed by Cleary.

Any talk about the IP contract

He’s signed with Tigers.
Watertight contract.
His wish …. People and media get off his back and let him focus on the important few games left this season.
Amen!

 

[momo_amp_medo]

Yes, Another one let go 👽

Was hè a priority at the time?

Yep … but guess you can always take the negative approach.

Yep those 2005 -2011 guys are the reason a majority of us are still here .

 

[Tiger-ferret]

He is when you consider we're paying Brooks $1mill next year

I’m not sure what your point is. I don’t think Brooks is worth a million either.

 

[tony soprano]

Matulino and Packer were signed by Cleary.

We let all our juniors go for Reynolds, Packer, matulino, mbye ect.

Majority same manager as Ivan. On field big hit for the club.

Munster, Tapine , Moses , Dylan Brown ,Burton , Staines , Frizelle , Sua
Nathan Brown , plus plus
So many on wish list ,Zero on actual recruitment list
No guarantee on Papalii , Jacko and Brooks and Douehi yet to commit beyond 2023 !
Everyone says just wait till Nov but can't see what's going to improve our
" basket case " image between now and then !
Madden goes where he will play most of year in reserves, NuBrown goes for less money. Blocker even said Tapine wouldn't come for 50% payrise
Munster will be at storm next year after that probably where his family most happy
It's depressing but if come November and I am proven wrong ill be bloody happy

 

[bathursttiger1]

Done with Musgrove. Has like 3 good games a year. Rest of the time he's either injured, suspended or being the worst prop on the field.

i must have missed those 3 games.

 

[CloudyGlock]

To me a simple test for a no 7 is how many goal line drop outs do the opposition have to do . I think Brooks comes last on this stat .

I’ll just leave this memory of 4 years ago here

Zero that we know of on the list doesn’t necessarily mean we don’t have one.
All will be revealed in good time. The puzzle is a difficult one requiring much thought and attention.

I think part of Clearys understanding and communication comes via Nathan. He has been around these young guys for quite a while even just as a parent.
He gets it, meaning knowing about how these guys think and what presses their buttons.
Penrith game plans are adapted to the skills he has at his disposal. Ciraldo must be the same.

When you see the dressing room shots of Cleary whether before a game or at halftime, he sits in a chair and you can see his delivery is relaxed. Players respond to that style of communication.

Plus a shocking Mockumentary

Our CEO seeked out the Mockumentary.
Magurie wanted nothing to do with it.

 

[Stevec]

Yes 4 years ago ! Even won a dally m for halfback but last couple of years very different

 

[Needaname]

the dominos have begun to fall. madden to broncos. expect some movement on the WTs front shortly.

You do realise Madden was off contract?

You realise that further proves my point? A current NRL coach who had some semblance of success in recent memory couldn't get them to fire, why would a coach who hasn't been in the NRL for a decade and two 1st year apprentices do any better? The reigning premiers coach couldn't even get us into the 8!

Also Cleary signed Packer & Matulino.
