Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I'm one of the supporters that originally came from the Balmain side but fully support Wests Tigers as a merged joint venture, while still appreciating the history and memories of the 2 foundation clubs that had been around since 1908.

Having said that up front I just cannot understand why and how our KOE team is not branded Wests Tigers. In my opinion this should flow through to the junior grades as closely as possible as well.

To me it is a no brainer that if there was one way to display a sign of strength and unity it would be to be playing under the one brand and to be one of the clubs that does not draw NRL players from a reserve grade team that has little geographical or historical connection to their NRL team.

I have to laugh when some of these NRL clubs have to change which reserve grade side they have an affiliation with, when in our case it would be so easy to make a strong show of strength and solidarity and have everything under the one banner.

How do these clowns on the board expect supporters to get behind the Wests Tigers when they are actively creating divisions.

I fully support celebrating the history of our 2 great foundation clubs and hold events that celebrate that history but after more than 20 years isn't it time to go forward as what we are now which is the Wests Tigers.

I come from same road as you and feel same ,When the JV happened I decided to forget past and 100% support Wests Tigers and only Wests Tigers and I feel it should be obvious to those in charge that our image needs some repairs and naming our reserve grade side Wests Tigers will make a statement to the NRL community that we are united and strong

Its so obvious the roosters can have a star studded team already and when a superstar comes on the market guess who can fit another big star in
ITS THE ROOSTERS !!
every club should have to publish a list of top 30 with salary and third party amount next to each . Come on Mr Racing minister publish the list or accept that your comp is not an even Playing field

Except the Rorters would not publish the "superannuation funds" they all get when they retire!
 
I would offer Wade Graham a contract if we can get 8 to 10 games out of him for 200K would be worth it origin and premiership winner short kicking game and would help the kids if he plays more then 10 it's a bonus and if not at least it did not cost the earth there is an interview when he speaks about his time at Penrith then going over to the Sharks and a change in additude and training it's a risk but could be worth it

Do you think the likes of the chooks and storm don't look united and strong?
 
i can see us going for Graham for a year if we panic re getting in another backrower. I dont mind him as a player but if Fafita was cooked Graham isnt too far behind him.
