Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Now that it seems we are a big chance to get Klemmer and Bateman, I am going to say it again. I think that Sheens and Co have done a remarkable job with our roster since the end of the season.
Look at the players we have lost and the guys coming in taking their place- it’s a big turnaround in quality.
I am excited that we are heading in the right direction.
Now we need our coaching staff to be able to unify this squad, build confidence and get the most out of each player. If we can get 100% effort and desire and a hunger to win, I am positive we will be a vastly improved team.

Would be the surprise of the decade. No way it happens. I remember years ago Ma'a Nonu's name would pop up as a rumour every now and then.

Actually....Nonu came very, very close.

Nonu very nearly joined the NRL in 2008 after he was left out of the All Blacks’ 07 World Cup squad, and was convinced by Benji Marshall and Tim Sheens to join Wests Tigers.

The All Blacks centre told his agent to sign the deal with the Tigers, only to be told to take a week to consider his decision and then change his mind.

Am I the only one who is loving this? I feel like the odd man out.

Brooks has had several coaches who stifled his game. Potter (slightly), Taylor and Madge all had them playing in shackles. Cleary, when he brought back our flair, took him to a Daly M. I for one want to see Brooks under sheens and benji. Even better if we bring Mitch back... It will return the Tigers soul and start to focus on OUR players and development again.

We shouldn't be pointing the finger at these guys all the time. There was some real mess at the club too. It's just that they were young and didn't handle it maturely.

We are going to need to show commitment to the players from our heartlands if we want the same in return from our up-and-coming juniors. We've lost that over the past few years.

Brooks, Laurie, Api and Moses with this forward pack? I'm in.

You're not alone. There are a few of us who know the club has done exceptionally well to recruit the quality of player we have for next year especially with Redcliffe entering the competition and the increase in salary cap.

Nah I think the arguements have changed from Balmain vs wests to Brooks supporters vs haters.
I’m with you though.
I’m expecting or at least hoping a change of fortune for us.
