Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Odessa]

I just had a quick look at the last few pages are we doing the West vs Balmain again ? Has anyone been drinking ? West and Balmain are gone did they ever play in this competition No ......

They play in the ARL ? Is that correct?

Swan Draught from W.A is the best!!!!
Say what you will but it is a wet dream wrapped in thick brown glass!

Very nice on tap.

[gallagher]

Yes they both played in the NRL in 98 and 99.

Ben Gardiner gone to riff

 

[Merlot]

the upside is there is 16 other teams to support

 

[jirskyr]

Lodge intends to re-sign with the roosters and willing to take a "pay cut" (DT)

 

[Merlot]

Also Dennis, remember it Wests had not of amalgamated with Balmain, they would not have been in the NRL as their financials back then were not as good as Balmains. We are a joint venture now & that is all ancient history. 🙂

the dogs wanted 2 own ,as did parra either the Tigers or West,it was a marriage made in heaven,lets respect that,4ever untlill we part,no good stirring a pot if the flame aint on

 

[Harvey]

Sheens knows how to build a roster which suits the style of game he obviously wants to play. Despite all the doom and gloom of the Maguire hardcore, the club is in a good position.

Adam Blair

Absence makes the heart grow fonder ay mate…

He had 2-3 years at top level, outside his pace he had too many deficiencies early on when he was a kid and then his body let him down later on….

Great fella, bit dark on him for speaking out against the club on the news inside his front door coming into that last year…

You’re a hard marker. Who else have we had at the club that is at that level

 

[balmain boy]

Welsby looks a talent

Haven't seen him, but sounds like he's a running player, a fullback or 5/8 rather than an organising type? Not sure that's what we need but I'd take it just to try something different

 

[ConePuncher]

SUSAN HOW DO I TURN OFF THIS DAMN THING I CANT GET IT TO

 

[AJ1]

The only people who would say Brown isn't cooked are his manager and his mother, which one are you mate?

Ummm....I did say he was cooked?

 

[batboy]

Adam Blair

Ryan O’Hara
Sam Harris
Nick Graham
Ben Reynolds
Etc

It’s a fair old list…

 

[Needaname]

Perfectly said
- I argued years ago the juniors should be badged as wests tigers - inner / outer west or some such….

The benefits of having a one club, on name, one brand throughout the whole organisation is far too frightening for the old guard - here and at the club.

Why not even call them “WestsTigers - Balmain Districts”
“WestsTigers - Western Suburbs”

 

[Needaname]

Klemmer, Brooks, Mitch Moses, Jason Bateman all managed by the same player manager.


Brooks Moses off contract the same time.

Old Issac making a presence at the Tigers again?

 

[Needaname]

Imagine if he signed with Melbourne - he be sent to Qld 🙄

Most of the players outside of the system are coming from Queensland. That would suit them to a tee.
