Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He was worse than that he betrayed both the club and his team mates by deliberately playing poorly to be released.He should never be allowed back under any circumstances

It's bad right. The club appears to be chasing him though. If he comes and he performs I'll be fine with it.

Woods was worse.
 
I think the quicker we as fans start to realise that post contact metres mean jack without a fast play the ball the better

Any idea which club has the fastest play the balls and 2nd least post contact metres ....Penrith ....

This is a great point happy. Its
a useless stat that stifles teams'
momentum. Players use it to pad
their overall meters by dragging
defenders with them — it slows
down all continuity. You gain the
meters you would have earnt and
more by hitting the deck and
promoting the play the ball as quick
as possible. Allowing the defence
to readjust their line for an extra
few meters in contact is straight up
bad coaching. Need more spark
 
We each viewed The POM post on Brooks through our own lense. Some believed the deal with the Knights was done. I viewed it as his manager wanting WTs at the negotiating table. You have to remember Brooks is a loyal character.

It's a silly argument though that Cloudy is going on with. It's semantics. I completely understand how something is stated and then the situation changes. It's never over until it's official.

Same as the Bateman signing. I assume it's a done deal but until it's official it really isn't.

It's about getting a roll on isn't it.
 
I still have a question mark over him in big games. Failed in his only origin and now faltered in the finals a few years running. Take away his international forward pack and what exactly are you signing?
I cant stand Moses as a person, but he has improved as a player - especially his kicking game. Still reckon he's a downhill skier.

But you cant question his origin performance, won't be first picked every again, so many injuries in the lead up to that one. he did however prove his toughness.

I viewed The POM's post as Brooks' manager wanting WTs back at the negotiating table. Any number of forum users may have a different slant on that post (it was perhaps intended to be that way). At the time, I was (and still am) of the view Hastings and Doueihi were/are a bigger chance of leaving WTs.

In any case, I appreciate all info provided by The POM, Cloudy, CCTW, Chris etc.

Its not semantics. Pom never said it was a done deal. You said that The Pom said that. he didnt. Very straightforward actually.
 

I burned these highlights from my mind until your post. I was so salty when he left. I remember Ivan Cleary refused to release him because he was playing so well and he knew that our season would be over if we didn't have him. Ivan wouldn't let him leave because he was playing so well, so the bloke tanked so he could join another team.

A lot of these highlights are from the second half of 2016. He played so well for like 8 games straight.

Funnily enough, Ivan Cleary did the same thing to us lol.
Let's be real..

If you were in your best playing form of your whole life and had it in your head that you wanted to sign for the Wests Tigers, but in the end... they wanted to sign another 3 players before you...

I would be pretty salty.

inside info, whether true or false, makes this forum go round. just about every single member of this place scours this thread to see what's been said in the hope of a rumour. whether it comes off or not is a different matter but you can't help but sit back and enjoy the fun.

Totally correct Earl, momentum is really hard to stop once a team gets on a roll.
Maybe holding a player down for an extra couple of seconds and risk giving away a 6 again or a penalty.
 
Yeah, Marzhew was a gun in the U/20's for Parra.

Was called Greg Leleisiuao back then.

Watching that video, i hope that try was called no try, he ran / stepped by his team mate in the middle of the ruck, obvious penalty every day !!
