Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think with Sualii coming through at the Roosters, its not entirely unlikely that the Tigers want Moses and Brooks together so that they can help lure Teddy back. Roosters will not be able to keep Sualii or Manu if Teddy stays long term and they probably need to do what's best for their next 15 years. I really wouldn't be surprised if it was all set up this was to get Teddy back.
 
Cautious optomism, is needed at the moment, The club is doing well, but still a fair way from the top 8 sides. Our halves our basically the same, and we are hoping for a big improvement with a better forward pack, but i still think another half is needed, Fullback is still an unanswered issue, Laurie was not great! Either he improves , or Stains fires,or we are in trouble. The backline is lacking a strike player, and is generally unimpressive, (hope some talent comes through). Like with all signings , some will be great , and some will be poor. The recruitment has been great, especially Furner on the coaching staff, he is a talented professional. It will take time for the team to bond, don;t be to critical. UP THE TIGERS !
 
Given Sheens, Farah and Funer were forwards and Marshall a half maybe the club along with the Centre of Excellent should invest heavily in a Specialised backs coach to improve the skills of Laurie, Topou, Naden, T'oa, Staines, Kepaoa, Talau, Feledy and Reilly. etc. All are young and at times have shown some promise.

Feledy a former Manly junior seems to have an impressive resume. Let's hope he kicks on.

Can any Forum Members give any insight to Tristen Reilly (Centre & ex Rugby Union)) and Apisalome Saukuru (Second Rower) both listed in the top 30 on WT official website.


Pack looks awesome for 2023.

With so many changes for 2023 I am expecting an improved season.

2024/2025 seasons with combinations formed, more attacking style of play, junior talent pushing for NRL spots is when I feel WT will be challenging with the top teams. In 2024 if we can land Moses or George Williams to player half back that could be the missing link.
I could live with a halves pairing of Brooks and Moses. Unlease Brooks running game.
Feledy will crush it.

Reilly and Saukuru with plenty to prove.

Hi boys, been reading a lot of negative stuff of late, and honestly I've been probably just as bad, but let's get behind brooks and support the bloke, for once he's, going to have a cracker of a forward pack, and apart from Ivan, has had to play under a couple of really average coaches, and hopefully if the mail is correct and Mitch is returning let's welcome him back, he was a messed up kid at the time, had his scumbag of an uncle, and lowlife manager guiding him, we were an absolute shitshow of a club at the time, yes he could have done things better, but unfortunately he was being guided by uncle Benny...let's give him a break

Nah. He's shit. been shit for a decade, will be shit until he retires and takes up his rightful position as a ball in dwarf bowling.
 
R thoughts If we get Bateman and the All Blacks bloke I’ll be upgrading my membership and jersey. The signing of Sheens appears to have had the desired effect.
Hold those thoughts , sheens has only got stains and KLEMMER so far , we had api and papa well before he took over. BUT I believe he has a plan , and Bateman , Moses , Williams , Nathan brown and lenui , are on his list , let’s hope it all comes together
