Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[bathursttiger1]

Tigers and Dolphins would be the only two teams able to fit them into the cap (and I guess the sombrero wearers can always fit more rep player in). TT seems to play 50% of the time, but it's at 9/10 level. JT plays, I'm guessing, 90% of the time at 8/10. We would make the finals most years with these two added to the roster. Would be especially nice if Manly kicked in a little coin too. Dreams are free, right?

They were quoted as saying they didn’t want to waste the last few years of their careers.
That rules us out then.

I find Pascoe too progressive and flamboyant in his leadership style for a team that isn’t delivering on the field at the moment. But he’s toned it down and has knocked this one out the park for once with a more humble and measured approach 👍🏻
He’s worked in some extremely reputable organisations and had great mentoring along the way in administration he just needs to stay in his lane and adopt a more conservative long term strategic approach until we can stack some more wins via quality recruitment and ultimately on field success

I honestly think it's a great concept and the setup was very minimal and classy. Involves the fans too.

Lightyears away from that embarrassing documentary.

Yeah I thought this was the best ask the boss yet. It was very professional and they didn’t shy away from the tough questions

Pay them enough and they will come. Could be a Roy Asotasi moment for us.

One barely plays - And the other can barely play....
And what about the 3rd one?

What the hell would we do with Jurbo?
Manly are paying him 800 odd - L:et them deal with it.

I enjoyed reading your post and especially the positivity of it. I believe the club has made some significant improvements in the football dept and financially the club is in a strong position due to Pascoe.

West tigers would like to welcome nsw/Australia representative back to the club Aron woods

Please tell me this is a joke.
Woods - no,no,no !

Good to see Noddy has a got a gig for 23 in charge of the new WT ladies team.
At least he should now know what not to do.
But glad he wasn’t punted cause he did take a bullet for Sheens and the club in season 2022.

Wonder how the players outside of these six feel

 

[hsvjones]

I also found it interesting that sheens said while he was back in England he has planned to talk to some people etc.. Could be NRL players over there for World Cup or England players. Fingers crossed.

I also do like the sound of what sheen was saying about how the team plays and they plan on been all about attack so might be fun to watch.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

29 spots filled. Only 1 more player to go in top 30.

A lot of us get 27 with Tommy Talau & Henry O'Kane off-contract and nothing formally announced on those 2 yet.

Plus the Club won't come out in these videos and say that there may be some released if they can be taken elsewhere (i.e. Peachey, Musgrove, Simpkin, Simpkins, Gildart etc).

So really we could have plenty of incomings yet!

Hope there might be a teensy weensy bit of defence in there as well otherwise scoreboard attendants could have trouble with 53-49, or the like, scores in our games.
Could make betting easier, overs every week.
I have also been on this earth long enough to know when someone says they plan around all attack that it’s wise to look at the flip side.

Rival clubs are now queuing at the south side of the Spit Bridge as word begins to spread around town that the brothers may have finally had enough. That their loyalty to the club has diminished to the point where only the commitment to their teammates is keeping the pair from trying to escape.

Clause for concern: Have the Trbojevic brothers had enough of Manly?

Their connection with the club runs deep. But the pair are concerned things at Manly will never change and now reconsidering their future.

Break the Bank, The three Trbojevic brothers would change the Tigers for ever.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Way too much WT hype and PR around these poor kids.

Yes I think discussion about the plan,without direct exposure of the Super 6, might have been a better option for the entire group.
Or maybe, being a tad cynical, they are preparing them for NRL where in most teams there are a sort of Super 6 and the rest of the squad can sometimes get overlooked.

Yea i aree - Turbo has played 44 games in 4 seasons - hardly worth the $1mil plus Manly are paying him. Jake is cooked - 2022 he was down markedly on stats in both attack and defence and i can only see him going backwards from there. Jurbo - probably the best option of 3 - only 21- mainly comes off the bench. He has the pedigree so could kick on and wouldn't cost a fortune plus is off contract end of 2023.

Benji has the pathways plan with some classy 16 and 17 year olds being developed great buts whats the guarantee that when the time comes 2 or 3 years from now they won't go to whoever bids the most ?
Just reading today Canberra have raided the Dragons juniors and just signed
5 of them !!!

 

[Demps]

Hollis & Perham officially released by Parra.

Wonder if they walk into Magpies pre season 🤔

Burbo you mean? (Ben)

Jurbo (Jake) is on a shit tin... and good for very little..

 

[Stevec]

Tommy Talau was a reasonable center before he got injured so would like to keep as we are very light on good centers . Unless he's no longer fit enough for NRL ?

 

[Cobarcats]

I'm re-up the big Klem signing. Mushygrove should be going, Klem comes in.
Apparently the big unit likes the COE hotdog stand so it's go go go.

Yea sorry Burbo - Lol - its a bit like the Marx Bros
