Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Good ole Benny at it again.

He should reflect on his time as a player and stop damaging the club with his attention seeking outbursts

There’s no way Moses is coming, if Benny didn’t know he wouldn’t speak up this much about not coming here as he wouldn’t want to scare off a potential suitor for Mitchell and also doesn’t want the egg on his face if he did come etc

Read something earlier about Ramien..... that would defs be something I’d be happy with

I basically agree in relation to Benny but maybe he knows that Moses isn't coming and is just trying to make it as palatable as possible.

Personally I don't care if we miss him. I think these big dollar contracts can screw you. I'd like to see us get Welsby.

 

[happy_tiger]

That's the forward on train and trial from Randwick. Reilly was signed from the sevens program

I reckion if you get forwards from Rugby you want breakaways .....fast ...mobile ...tough and most hit like Mack trucks ......David "Bluey" Wilson comes to mind

Like how he choked with his field goal attempt in the GF .......

But anyone who thinks Moses is seriously coming is seriously dreaming .....sorry

And 1.4 is too much ...for that price you have to be good enough to win premierships and SOO games ...even Test Matches ...

And yet what do most people know his as - or when the media talk to him in what capacity do they interview him as?

Wests Tigers Chairman.

He sponsors those affiliations probably because he makes money out of sporting clubs from getting legal work.

Anyway - all I wish for is for he and Justin to take some accountability and say that if we don't make the finals in 2-3 yrs time they will resign.... instead of thinking that they're doing this great and noble job on all our behalf.

Pascoe gets a gold watch in 2 years 😂

Is Benny a life member? Can he be stripped of it?

Surely someone could turn that into a "hardest off season ever" fluff piece?

No idea what Back-door is up to here. Whatever it is ..he’s probably trying to fool someone more than twice. Just dont know if its us or the Eels.

 

[fainty]

Have we signed Moses yet?!

 

[tigerballs]

Each player (men and women) that participates in an NRL or NRLW game is brave and we have many women now playing rugby league.

Not against the men, though.

Club LEGENDS don't talk and act like he does

Could you see Skando or Hodgo or Darren Senter having an interview like that

Piss off Back Door Benny ...we Qlders were right ...you are a tugger .....

Is there any chance do you reckon, as unlikely as it may be, that Benny is in fact running interference against the Eels?

Usually when we hear speculative media about the Tigers, the truth ends up being the opposite of what you have heard (e.g. Latrell Mitchell going to sign, Tigers agreement with JAC etc.). There is part of me that thinks "gee if Benny is doing such a hard sell against Moses to the Tigers, almost over the top sales pitch, is he in fact obscuring a very good chance that Moses will do it?"

I know people dislike Benny Elias, with good justification, but why would he be at such pains to tell the media (at least twice now) that he thinks Moses --> Tigers is not a good idea, or not sellable? It could of course be to let the Tigers down gently, but surely Benny Elias knows enough people at the club to have that conversation outside of the media. Which is why I got the outside-chance hunch that the articles are actually for the Eels not the Tigers.

 

[jirskyr]

You are right that meeting a person is certainly different from how the Media portrays them . However for me , actions speak louder than words. His character was on display when he had the chance to stand up against the blatantly bias decisions in that Cowboy game .Tough words are cheap when not followed up with action . He laid down.

That's nonsense, Tigers had no leg to stand on. Lee H even got expert (external) legal opinion on the matter - he made a public statement that the advice he was given was that there was no case Tigers could bring and win against the NRL.

As badly as we got screwed against Cowboys, you can't pin that on the club. No club gets the NRL to reverse the final decision from a ref's call, it will never happen.

Ok so this ol’ dig knows what fairy floss is, and what UDL’s are, but are you telling me the young’ns eat that together?

I read/saw an interview with him somewhere he was saying things like he's learning where to put his arms and leg in the contact, that its very different from rugby. cited Klemmer as helping him out a lot
