Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Granted a release by the Tigers, Gildart will begin negotiations immediately with the Dolphins with a view to inking a $100,000 deal to be part of history at the NRL’s 17th franchise.

The Dolphins expect to finalise the deal in the coming days ahead of a formal announcement next week. (Courier Mail)

With us paying the rest of his contract? Sheens is back

Idk why Brooks would think being coached by o Brian is a good idea. Madge v2

There's a lot of pros to Brooks leaving both for him and the club.

It's been spoken in depth on the forum and by everyone in the media.

Cons? There isn't as many, imo.

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

A silly buy, and can,t play 6, 7, 3, 4, or in the forwards. But the Lebos love him!

He would not be making less then he did overseas and I doubt the Tigers are paying at all the dolphins need players

 

[Odessa]

9 tries in 7 games in SG Ball, then made his Jersey Flegg debut later in the year, playing 3 games off the bench.

Also played for NSW City U/18’s, scoring a try in that game too.

Pretty confident he’ll be one of our Development players in 2023; would be our youngest too, considering he only turns 19 next year.

Do you remember was Chris Lawrence 17 or 18 when he started in first grade?

 

[batboy]

What a massive clean out.

Sheens is really cleaning things up, in that aspect.

Now to bring in some new (or old 🤔 😉 ) faces.

No you're thinking a little more clearly....

If you're chasing a 1.2m half - The other half needs to be a 500k player...
So you can pay Tedesco to come back as well...

Then we're a top 8 side.

Is minimum wage $120,000?

But Newcastle have a shit coach and team.

I'd be aiming higher potential walking into another WT

Gildart gone - how good! Getting rid of Maguires mundane shit. The more I think about it, the happier I am he is gone.

For too long we kept signing depth players to be reserves for our starting team - also depth players.

Not genius - Sheenius!

But everyone too happy to bag him

Both of those excellent tackles were achievable due to his superior speed, thus proving the other guys point.

I think it shows both speed and tackling ability. Not much point getting there if you can't make the tackle

 

[Stevec]

Gildardt if you release a player who has a 2 year contract 2022/2023 don't you have to pay him out unless he asks for release or lands a new contract of equal or higher value ?

 

[KingRobbie]

How far off FG you reckon? One season? Two?

Matamua turned 19 this year and played a bit of first grade.

Feledy turns 19 in 2023, so maybe he’ll be the same?

If not, he’ll debut in 2024.

 

[KingRobbie]

Do you remember was Chris Lawrence 17 or 18 when he started in first grade?

He was 17 when he made his debut and turned 18 later that year.

Feledy would be one year older if he debuted in 2023.

 

[tigerman 0]

Is he ready?

 

[cktiger]

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.

Where’s the Balmain reserve grade side then?

Feledy turns 19 in 2023, so maybe he’ll be the same?

If not, he’ll debut in 2024.

Only seen the highlights of feledy but seems a tad in the small side. Will probably need a season or two to develop.

People that don’t like Sheensy are #$$%heads

How about our most expensive player who turns out he can’t play 7… 🤣
