Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

See Greg Inglis. AD announces he is stepping away from the game and Tigers get cap relief.

Nothing stopping AD changing his mind.

Outside of the box thinking mate, you’ve supported Pascoe too long.

See your Greg Inglis - Raise you a Josh Jackson - Bulldogs - Retired (Last Year)
still had 1/3 of his money put toward the cap.

Site Pascoe all you like - Gus couldn't even swindle it....
And Josh Jackson has been around since they put Christ on a Cross...
AD is 24 - You're dead set dreaming (Or inventing excuses to shine your Boots on old mate)

No they wouldn't and no they didn't....
You can't get any dispensation when they've played for you in that season, Unless they retire
- even then it's not likely.

If the player hadn't played this year there's been ways around it (In the past), It's not always a given - But it has happened.
But not when they've played. (Especially for 1/4 of the season) No chance.
I think the Dragons are getting raped re: Ramsey - Doesn't look like he'll play at all this year and they're not saving a nickel.

Knowing the illness the young man is suffering from it’s a travesty there’s no salary cap relief for him. Sometimes the NRL just leave me speechless.

You should work at the tigers with creative facts like that. Forgot to mention he’s employed by the Bulldogs and they have appealed that decision. Only adds to my argument that other clubs management don’t leave stones unturned when it comes to winning.

Which fact did I "create" exactly?

Why would there be? And if there was - Where would it end? (He's not the first player to do an ACL?)
And which clubs would you see it OK to get the same reasoning?

I can only imagine your uproar if Manly got to pay Turbo half his Wage a year cause he only plays half the games with dodgy Hammys... Or Roosters got NRL cap relief with Cordners head knocks.

Injurys are part of the game, That's why there's squads of 30 and not 17
(And a cap to pay the squad accordingly)

Not really sure what thread this is we are supposed to be supporters but all I see is 7000 thousand pages of brooks bagging and 1;770 pages of the bagging the coach or some other player, no wonder team has no confidence it would be nice to see a positive post

I've been positive after yesterday. Brooks killing it.

 

[liltiger]

I mean the club would have to work out a way to pay two players and Pascoe’s big claim is he’s got the club financially sound. I’d argue that’s often at the expense of on field success. e.g. home games in QLD and NZ.

I'd imagine all the away games would be a major reason how the club can run at a profit, will be interesting to see how things go if we return to our 2 home grounds in the future as was discussed at some stage in the pre season.

Not sure what you’re talking about champ. Not sure you even know yourself. Have a rest.

Ahh... You're talking about Ramsay?
I mentioned him in the Doueihi cap relief talk - Didn't realise you're on him not AD...
Cheers,

Fair enough. Yes I’m on Ramsay. No worries mate, all good.

Agreed - Rough trot....

Also thought it was crap when we couldn't get cap relief for Liam Fulton after he retired with concussion (#SackPascoe) but also understood he'd played for us that year and injurys (Of all types) are part of the day to day - Still sucked....

I don’t buy this theory that it ruins your career. The NRL is full with ex Tigers doing well.

Problem is more often than not they play like shit when they come here.

But then of course, there is always the negative side.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

What ever you may think of Brad Arthur, he is still a father and would be protective of his son.

The question is, would he allow his son to come to the Wests Tigers and commit career suicide?

He probably reckons he's better off playing for Wenty for the next 4 or 5 years.

Nah if youre playing nrl you are getting paid NRL wages, exposure and opportunity. He’s not that good to be picking which club he plays at. If Tigers or nothing he’d choose tigers. Even on a short contract because if he was progressing, another club would get him.

From tigers point of view, Arthur should be depth singing only. Personally I don’t think he’d be worth a roster spot.

Why don’t we go back to the well being the storm , get young Perez on loan for the rest of the year , look how we brought Harry along , think it’s worth trying

 

[salper]

Contracted til end of 25 season.

Ok

What about Connor Tracey for 2025?

 

[barnzee]

The Knights have a heap of halves on their roster and only one specialist hooker , might be able to loan Simpkin for one of their decent halves

 

[davey_farrell]

i dont think Sheens will let Jake go, if Koresau goes down we will have no one

Like the idea. Think theres zero chance of anyone executing it in our administration

 

[Spacecub]

If it's done properly, Pascoe wouldn't have anything to do with it, just be A.Ds decision after Sheens has a quiet word telling him to walk away for 18 months when you come back ill offer you another year or two to help u get back on your feet for helping the club

Unfortunately after 3 ACLs he won't be anygood, he's useless now, time to pay him out

 

[old_man_tiger]

Trindall is worth 750 to us. He can't say no to that and the sharks will surely not stand in his way. I'd give them Nofo and pay part of his salary too. 500 for pezet. 300 and the opportunity to start at 7 next game for a Volkmann, Hawkins or Sexton.

Yes all this is overs - blame management, successive coaches and a squad that was dominated by soft pillows for a decade. Failure has a price.

 

[weststigerman]

Looks like Sexton has been dropped after winning Titans the game on the weekend.

Go and get him Sheens.
