No apology from yappi API yet, was really looking forward to him playing for us next year, now I am really pissed of at the way the little bugga insulted our team, our club
& our supporters. he is coming to our Club with same illness all Penrith players suffer from.

SWELLED HEADS.

AND I WOULD BE HAPPY IF WE CANCELLED HIS BLOODY CONTRACT.

IF IT WAS POSSIBLE.
What a great way of saying sad to leave panthers, but looking forward to my few years with the West Tigers.

IS THE RIGHT WORD BRINGING OUR CLUB INTO DISREPUTE.

AND THIS IN ITSELF, LEGALLY WOULD PROBABLY GIVE US GROUNDS TO RIP UP HIS CONTRACT,
AND TELL HIM TO GO ELSWERE.

Im disappointed also @Dennisspicer1

In truth, we lack credibility in the game for many years now

Its the price we pay for years of poor recruitment, Sacking coaches mid contract, too many home grounds and blowout scores.

Api and Papi will give us some legitimacy, the rest of the team need to jag some wins in 2023.

If Munster does leave Storm and go Dolphins or does decide to stay at Storm or Brown staying at Parra or possibly go to Storm we won’t be offloading Doeuihi. Those 2 are better than Doeuihi at 6, but if we don’t get either of them we won’t be getting rid of him there isn’t a better one on the market other than those 2 and offloading him puts us weaker. For someone that talks about him a lot I’m surprised you can’t spell his last name correctly.

Laurie will go to 6 if Staines comes over from penrith

Even my Penrith Mates don't really rate Staines. He isn't the answer,

Daine L, will be like Papenhuyzen with a decent pack.

I don't really rate Staines either but for 2023 and beyond if Douhie is not the answer Tim and benji want at 6 then they may ask him to play centre. He may spit the dummy at that and if that is the case then he may move on.
I think Brooks survives mainly due to the long service discount and if Sheens can restructure the contract from 2024
If we want to keep Laurie at fullback then we can go for
7. Hastings
6. Brooks
I just think Sheens sees Hastings as that 13
which woukd likely leave
7. Brooks
6. Laurie
hence the need for Staines at 1

No guarantee that will happen. Even if we do land Staines Laurie has not played 6 in first grade only in Cup and he was with the Panthers where even the water boy looks good. Laurie needs to actually play 6 in order to decide whether he will take over and more than likely unless Doueihi is unavailable as well as Hastings he won’t get a chance to play 6.
 
Full disclosure - I'm an Adam D fan.

He wants to win and has the fighters Attitude that we lack here at the tigers.

This is more than his pay check.

AD#6, Hastings#7, Joffa#13. (Repurpose Brook's 1 Mil)

I agree I think Laurie at 6 is super risky but if they have Hastings at 13 then what Sheens has in Brooks and Laurie is pace either side of the ruck. It will cause havoc behind a good forward pack and it is a very Sheenius type of thing to try.
Hope they keep AD as centre as he could be great in that role

Better options on the market for Fullback from Nov 1 to sign for 24 than Staines. Garrick, Mitchell, even Munster himself said he prefers Fullback. Safe to say for 23 at least Laurie is 1 and Doueihi is 6 unless injuries and suspension come into play.

Brooks 2024 salary will not be 1 million though
AD has the right attitude he is just not a 6 and joffa at 13 lacks the ball playing skills

Garrick would be a good pick up for fullback for 2024 or even RTS if he wants out of All Blacks
I just have a feeling Munster to dolphins hope I am wrong

Leinu looks good in a good Penrith pack
I woukd rather Klemmer he looks good in a Newcastle pack

Klemmer has been a good footballer for a long time. While he would be a good addition, his game is limited. Leinu offers x-factor that we lack. That ball running and aggression in defence we sorely miss. If we get both I would be happy.

Brooks has had more than enough time to lead the team. After 9 years going onto 10 he should be a leader he’s not even close to one. We need to try something different Brooks isn’t the answer. Not his fault for everything that’s happened but he hasn’t lifted when we needed him too.
 
Look at Klemmer's stats. He's absolutely still an elite prop and a capable pack leader. He generates second phase play and consistently gets over the advtanage line - a lot of this talk about his play being limited is wrong. He may not be the most damaging runner, but I'll take a guy who puts up a quality 150m+ and 25+ tackles a week no worries.

Garrick is a good goalkicking winger who can fill in at fullback. Laurie has great potential to play 1 or 6. Doueihi lacks the passing game and defence to be a 6.
