Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Is klemmer the only additional prop we've recruited ?

Maybe, but I am looking at it like this, Klem replaces Tamou and Pole replaces the great Zane. So I am happy enough with that roster swap.

Footy star Selwyn Cobbo 'could've breached contract' with coach insult

Tigers supremo Lee Hagipantelis - who is the principal of a law firm - thinks the Broncos have 'major concerns' after Cobbo astonished the club and coach Walters with his comments.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Looks like Lee is trying to make the situation worse over there… maybe to make a play for cobbo?

I don’t mind Lee sticking it to the donkeys, especially to get Cobbo, but did I just read Lee said this “You don't air your dirty laundry in public.”?
“Lawnmower Man” ring a bell Lee?

Stevied, looks like you may have started something hahaha.
Kenty now thinks there’s a story in it?

NRL salary cap undermined by third-party agreements that keep the big clubs on top

Why I disagree with Gus over salary cap

www.foxsports.com.au

Of course. It confirms the obvious. So much greyness, so much deception. The cap's simply not working because of it. Thanks for passing it on twentyforty!

No, I reckon an actual Easter island head would have been more useful.

We will know in 2023.

James Tamou either will be a cowbow Benchwarmer or a key part of their side.
I guess it doesn't matter, but I would like to know if it was him or our environment.

Yes, I’m also interested to see the outcome of him and others like Garner etc. Even so, it may not be an accurate DNA test for eagle or turkey. Addo-Carr had a drop in form when he joined a spoon team.

Agree I would like to know if it was our environment too, but wasn’t he employed and given the big C to change that. I reckon he’ll distance himself from our environment as soon as given the chance. He was always very diplomatic when he spoke though.

Have we got any footage of this gun half Ethan Sanders?

My comment was on the club looking at alternatives for halfback other than Brooks. No person in particular

 

[hank37w]

It seems Brooks' salary in the media is similar to the Reserve Bank announcements on interest rates. It usually rises and provides the ammunition for those on this forum to whack Brooks over the head with (at every opportunity).

Yes, we were promised that his salary wouldn't go up before 2024 but in the media it fluctuates on a daily basis.

I heard you all missed me, so Im back!!!
I have not been idle however in my long absence and I can now announce exclusively here for the good people of the Wests Tigers Podcast that as the world waits on a decision from Mitchell Moses the Tigers are not dragging their feet and have made a very aggressive and ambitious move on Ethan Sanders, the Parramatta halfback in Jersey Flegg & SG Ball 2022. Stay tuned and watch this space!!!

New star Eel in waiting

Eels fans worried at losing Mitchell Moses for 2024 can breathe a little easier following the emergence of a superb young prospect from within their own ranks

Ethan Sanders is just 19 and starred for the Eels in the Flegg Cup last year.

There's a bit of Trent Barrett in his play and he has all the skills to make it to the top.

The club has their eyes on him and he'll challenge Jake Arthur for the number seven jumper should Moses make the leap to the Tigers or Bulldogs in 2024.

I wouldn't mind knowing more about Etan Sanders just in case the story does have legs.

 

[fainty]

Hoping pom has an update in relation to Moses, would love a confirmation on what I was told, I was told decision Thursday.
They seemed pretty confident Moses was Concord bound.

Well it’s Thursday…hoping your source was spot on and at least we will hear something today?! He signs or he doesn’t, let’s just hurry up and put it to bed.

 

[weststigerman]

If Moses is staying and the Ethan Sanders thing is true, I have no doubt we’ll again be battling against the Bulldogs for him. I don’t think we’ve ever beaten Gus to a signing: TPJ, Ciraldo etc.

 

[Magpies1969]

Appears Moses holds all the cards.

If we were to get Moses for 2023 it would still take a while for him to gell with the team and new look spine. Missing most of a pre season is not ideal.

Let's hope we hear some news either way on Moses today.

Like the idea WT and playing nasty and looking at signing Parramatta's junior gun half back if Moses fails. This is a great step forward for the club.

Been saying it for years, it’s not like it is ground breaking news. Of course the same rorts are not restricted to third party deals. You can do the same sort of thing unofficially with a players contracts. Wives getting bogus jobs, the possibilities are endless. Near impossible to police and the NRL certainly will not do anything that might upset the apple cart

Moses was recently married and has a new family so I can understand his attention may be elsewhere. We just need to this into account.

 

[hank37w]

You reckon Lee ever thinks to himself “I’m a senior office holder at a NRL club. I probably shouldn’t publicly comment on this…”

It would be easy to come to the conclusion that there are lots of times that Lee doesn't think before opening his mouth.

 

[Cobarcats]

When I read this, your comments are exactly what I was thinking.
Maybe Lee and Benny can be our media representatives and also do the post match pressers. 😡

 

[Fingers83]

@THE_POM are you hearing anything new, think we're close to knowing one way or another? The moses meeting with Parra mentioned in the media this week had an air of finality about it one way or another. I think we're out of the race, but I know nothing.

 

[Odessa]

A new born baby is not easy and first child for mum and dad he is not thinking football but if the Parramatta choice was so easy it would have been done by now I think he is out the door or has at least a leg is and if Parramatta have a wonder kid number 7 they mite not need Moses after two years

Does anyone else get the feeling that Parra may have had a big play in getting this article out to the public.... maybe they're getting a feeling Moses may be moving on and wanna assure their fans they have a junior star waiting regardless and it may not be the end of the world

Also, the less you hear about what Moses may be doing as days go by - the better our chances
