Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Does anyone know when Sheen's is back in Aus and when Pre Season starts?
You would assume we have wrapped up the existing players we want to keep and would now be focusing on Nov 1 targets.

key difference Hastings plays 13 and you have two genuine running 6's in Brooks and Moses

Moses is a half back…. unlike Brooks.

Welcome to WT, Napa 🔥
L’Independant reported: “(Catalans) management told Dylan Napa and Josh Drinkwater that they would not be retained despite a year of contract, which brings the number of departures to twelve pending the recruitment of three to four additional players.”

Dylan Napa instead of klemmer for 2023 ?

😂

No.
We don't need to lose any stars to an inferior game.

Idk man yes nrl better to watch and play but nrl in so insular. If they have the opportunity they should do it.

Has anyone had by chance seen young Kyle Laybutt go around for the Kumuls good size lad plenty of ticker and a good footy nous would be a great little pickup for bugger all, I see 2nd row written all over him

You are drawing a long bow to say that we can't attract players because our lower grades and some juniors play under the banner of Wests Magpies and Balmain Tigers. There is no proof whatsoever that that is the case. I find it impossible to believe any player when offered good coin to play NRL would weigh up what our junior sides are called before he makes a decision.

You seem to be saying that both my statements are correct but that there is no connection between them . Fair enough that's your point of view . I think we have offered a number of players good coin .

Maiden post people so I will for now keep from stirring and adding to the shit pot and banter that entertains the very vast majority of us and keep it clean. My gut feeling is Mosses will be a tige once again due to uncle Benny pulling an uncle Nick and putting a few extra notes in Mitches Chrissy card pluss the incentive of hooking back up with Brooks (great mates)and a perhaps a feeling of unfinished business and regret on how things went down in past, this may also be the catalyst for Brooks staying on as Sheens seems to desire and keeping Jacko at 13. With sheens and Benji contouring new attacking shapes and mindset maybe just perhaps the rebirth of the entertainer's 🤞

Hope so mate keep us posted if you hear anything

 

[Camel2281]

yea right and i suppose JT told you that.

Actually JAC's brother

Are you? I played there many years ago when they were just Western Suburbs.

Hey Coivtny

Yeah it a great club and a great history - 93 years since out last 1st grade premiership ( and people think the West Tigers are bad) lol. But we continue to delivery amazing players thats why I love it so much

When we play out first game at Concord I will organise an invite for you and Kaito and anybody else you want to bring along

Cheers

Brooks hating is not getting us anywhere! No one knows if he stays or goes. AD and Hastings as halves is rediculous, Api will be left stranded waiting to pass the ball to someone who is faster then he is. Moving Laurie into the halves is a song and a prayer move, we need another player in the halves with speed or we will stagnate. Stains is a good buy, and will surprise the pessimists on this forum. Moses, Teddy, etc- time to change hands , Your dreaming!

 

[240z]

He’s faster… that’s about it. 🤣

He’s faster… that’s about it. 🤣

Yeah right - against the "best winger" in the workd

In the order of must sale:

Nofoaluma,
Seyfarth
Brooks

Turn that upside down and I will say that you are spot on.

true wests tigers fashion lol

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

Hey Kaito - Totally agree mate

The Pirates - I'm currently 1st grade Mgr there

Back in the Day, I did a bit of marketing consulting for The Pirates in the first year of Super Rugby. They had a centre who was pretty good on about $400K (James W?) who played for the Waratahs & a Fijian Forward - pretty handy - Finau Filau? Anyway I suggested that we hire The Manly Ferry and have all the Supporters dress as Pirates and travel across the Harbour for the next Manly game and really set up a PR stunt to attract attention and hopefully sponsorship due to the exposure such an event might attract. But they were only interested in shorts and sock sponsorship opportunities - As far as I recall the NSWRU paid for the GM & Coach and the Waratahs players but no dough for marketing the game.

 

[Wandering Tiger]

That Jamaican half would be cool to buy for a backup. Watching him was epic.

 

[bathursttiger1]

Wonder what their thoughts are on keeping Brad Parker?

They can keep him.
If we are going to be a development club we need to keep some spots open for these kids, or they’ll get snapped up by other clubs.
