Matt Lodge
David Klemmer
Tautau Moga
Angus Crichton
Kurt Falls
Jarule Salmon.

Klemmer - yes but I hope we don't spend too much.
Crichton - he'd be great but he won't come.

I'm sure about the rest of them. I don't think we need Lodge if we get Klemmer.

A tool for fools. Rolls off the tongue quite lovely.

The highs of getting rid of Musgrove thinking we had Klemmer only for it to be Fafita 🤣

 

[tiger05premier]

No.

You always had good info

So your saying we have wasted money on Andrew?

 

[Odessa]

Definitely. If you don't like him as much as me it must be because you don't like Italians. If you don't agree with me it must be because you don't like cool people.

It's the best way to argue.

A question for you my mate Bruno and a few other Italian friends that have all been in Australia for over 10 years most of them around 15 years and hate Italian people fresh off the boat and won't hang around them anymore and say very bad things about them the question is are they not cool ? Or worst ?

I agree w/ Lodge and Klem it might be one or the other if we cant shed Twal.

Why would we shed Twal ? I reckon he'll be staying.

I'm not worried about our middles but I'm assuming Klemmer is coming here. I hope we haven't dumped Musgrove without a big prop coming into the team.

That is what a hacker would say.

do you work for Optus hahahahahahaha

Racism

https://weststigersforum.com/threads/signing-suggestions-rumours.27347/page-7278#post-1681236 A thread to discuss racism. I was involved (that doesn't make me a racist) in all the junk about this topic so I've created a thread for you guys to discuss. I won't be.

My answer is twofold.
Firstly if we get two big props, naturally we would be replacing two.
Not including Dave Hollis for extra depth.
Secondly, we need punch. Our pack is so small. If we had a two prong front up attack with Klemmer and Lodge and Ofa of the bench, we can start to get on the front foot. Twal is good but he doesnt bend the line. He would be better at the dogs where he belongs.

If our offer to Klemmer offer is independent of Brooks' contract situation (as suggested) I think it would be crazy to release him. Simply because what would do between now and next year with that cap space?
If the only way to secure Klemmer is to release Brooks (which does not seem to be the case) then I believe there is a fair argument to be made. I would still be reluctant and would definitely not do so until we secure a half for '24 be it Hastings or an outside recruit.

I highly doubt that Newcastle would be entertaining releasing Klemmer to us without getting Brooks in return - that would be futile when Brooks is their main target. The only sticking point between the two clubs I assume if it is happening would be the figures.

Lol @ Jarule Salmom

I wonder how long this will take to play out.

 

[Lebanese_Coach_aspiration]

Why is everyone lol'ing at Salmon? weak dog thing?

 

[hank37w]

Are you indicating we signed one? If it is Andrew I wont be too excited, but if it is one of the others then I could be really excited...

Yeah, it's David.

The one that is Andrew's brother.

 

[Scare]

Weak gutter dog

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Fifita FFS!!!

Is that your safe word?
Blink twice if it is

Some "expert" on radio said the delay was Newcastle needing to offload Clifford.
