Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Scare]

Price.

400k and I would sign him no questions.
1.2 Million and I would not touch him. Particularly after we did this:

Will Smith joins Wests Tigers

Wests Tigers is pleased to announce the signing of Will Smith for the 2023 season.

www.weststigers.com.au

WHY? When the players best form is 9 tries for Parra as a winger/fullback in 2017...

That said, the Stains signing is a great one. We have a good back line on paper in Nofo, Ken M, Staines, Laurie and Naden.

David Fifita makes sense, but at what price? 800k and I am listening, 1.2 Million and it's a NO. Likewise TPJ would be a good option.

heck even Andrew Fifita IMHO (for a min contract of 120k) makes sense. You get a rep forward who can up the game of Papalii, Stefano and others. Yes it's bench depth but our forward and second row stock looks particularly bad.... so we sign a crap winger in Will Smith???

( I can say all the above, because whatever I say is not as bad as us signing Will Smith. Why WT Why?)

rts is one of the best fbs of the modern era and is around the level of teddy probably better at this stage, also I’m not 100% but I heard will smith was not a top 30 contract?

Just got a message on my phone saying that Nu Brown and Harry O'Kane have been removed from the WT playing list as well as the expected released players

Anyone in the know got more info

Nu Brown definitely going to Dogs.

Don't have any info on O’Kane personally but others have also linked him to Dogs.

Dogs need to shed more players, they have around 40 on their books

Should expect to hear an update from @THE_POM this week Thursday or Friday.

Hopefully it’s today

Please stop the jedi mind tricks on our spooners.

With either Brooks or Hastings they'll get the spoon no jedi powers will be able to help them next year I reckon

I agree. Newcastle are at severe desperation stage.

I was asking the question sorry ...I couldn't tell you who was or wasn't on the list at season's end ...it's was pretty hard to look at that list without regurgitating your last meal to be honest ....

My point is if players are being released at least the club can come out with a thankyou for your service ...especially in Nu's case ..at times in 2022 he was in our Top 3-5 players in particular games ..and probably not a bad 3rd or 4th string back up utility if Api gets picked for SOO and Simpkin /Rua not available

Nu was offered a spot, Sheens really likes him but he wasn't happy with minimum wage.

I expect the Klemmer announcement to be done by Monday.

Rare positively on the club

Why the Tigers won't take home the wooden spoon in 2023

“I don’t think the Tigers deserve to be equal rank outsiders for the Premiership."

Dont hold your breath

Don’t worry I’m a tigers fan

 

[weststigerman]

Can you rewrite your 2nd question .....I can't make sense of it ....sorry

My bad. My question was why aren’t players quoted as saying “playing with Brooks/Doueihi/Hastings was one of the reasons I joined/re-signed”?

They definitely used to say that about Benji and Farah.

 

[426Tlgerland]

come On Glock you still pissing around with us , give us the info you have , we are all tigers supporters

Because that would be taking the piss ......

If he is gone ...he played NRL ...least deserves a thank you ...far worse players who showed a lot of disrespect got more recognition

The Last I heard the club wanted him to stay but the Bulldogs were interested. There still hasn't been an announcement from the Bulldogs so maybe that hasn't changed.

League minimum is probably unders ...but you wouldn't be paying anymore than about 30-50 k more than that

So he is coming after all of this back and fourth?
