Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I’d like to abolish all talk of Flanagan here for the mental health of all our members.

Imagine a scenario where we have two halves of the same age, lose one in notorious circumstances, keep the other at high cost, then pay a million bucks to bring back the guy who left, at the expense of the guy we kept.

lol Also forgot to mention sign a player from souths to play fullback, who it turns out can't play fullback and has to play 6

Bulldogs making cap space, Jackson retires with 1 year left on his contract

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Hopefully plays all of 2023 in cup and gets his confidence up.

Also, hoping Brandon Webster Manfield top 30 is real news because he is a beast.

what position is Webster Manfield ?

He can play fullback, just doesn’t want to.
Maybe he doesn’t want to stand out as last line of defence.

He’ll spend majority of next year in Cup but he will play first grade no doubt about that. BWM I’m hoping he gets some deal next year heard good things about him and is someone I want to keep.

Great name too !

He was only ever playing fullback for the one year until Benji retired then move to 6, Benji just wouldn't retire as expected

And? He’s said himself he grew up playing in the halves. Can’t blame him for wanting to have a crack in first grade where he played his junior footy. Hastings was signed as a 6 yet he’s playing 13. To’a was signed as a Fullback yet he was playing Centre or Wing except when Laurie was injured. Just because you’re signed to a club in a certain position doesn’t mean you’ll play there. Lots of clubs do it.

Played in a trial this year but got injured.
Local Claymore lad.

Do you know why the reserves are magpies. Its because wests tigers was setup as a joint venture between 2 foundation clubs, It was not a merger as some on here seem to think. One of the stipulations of the joint venture was that both foundation clubs would keep a presence in the next tier down from NRL in order to keep their heritage and to avoid either club dying off and they would also keep and fund their own juniors. Balmain also had a presence in the NSW cup as Balmain Ryde Eastwood until they went belly up.

Well that explains why we are where we are ! Glad its all working so well

Anything is possible.

One thing is for sure...
Farah is the gift that keeps giving.

Helped us keep Tedesco for a little longer and now he's making sit downs with Sheens & Moses.

My gut feeling is Brooks is gone.

A lot of water must have passed underneath the bridge, coz Faf and Mitch were at the opposite end of the friendship spectrum not that long ago.

It’s the Cedars connection !

Great name too !

No he has too many names.

I will never understand people who hyphenate their names for marriage. It's a lovely sentiment but it can only be applied for a single iteration.

For example Brandon Webster-Mansfield marries Bonnie Wee-Lass. So what are their kids? Joey Webster-Mansfield-Wee-Lass? What about Joey's kids? Kenny Webster-Mansfield-Wee-Lass-Cherry-Ontop?

After a few hundred years you have more surnames than atoms in the universe.

And I thought it just meant he had 2 fathers !

You mean "have a bloke playing junior centres, lost to another club to play fullback, brought back as a fullback, but insisting on playing #6, probably really is a centre".

I am sure Laundy will ensure Jackson gets next years contract value paid to him outside the cap for doing the dogs a favour. Maybe even a job for life.
