Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Another issue with hunt is his age a two year deal will have him till he's 35 which leaves the door wide open for retirement. Although those two years will help develop a 7 like zane camroux or similiar to that.

Hunt is not worth the cash to anyone but the cellar dwellers, and since we are cellar dwellers them it's worth a crack.

For me the Tigers need an experienced player. If Sheens really is trying to change the culture at the club you'd be far better served hiring a guy like Hunt who could get you through a short transitional period before you switch over to a younger player. Because putting even the most talented youngster in a chaotic environment in which you are likely to continue losing a number of games is the surest way possible of damaging his confidence and him failing to make the grade. Once a halfback loses his confidence its incredibly difficult to rebuild it.

Beg to differ. He's not pimple-head or DCE but is still often in or considered for SOO. He's definitely an upgrade on our current pretenders.

I think he's good but assume we will need to work out 1.2 ish given he is over a mil already from memory.

Again no problem with it, we are shit and have to pay overs for a half

Think logically, if you were hunt why would you want to finish your career at the west tigers...He's already said in the past that he wants to retire back home in Queensland

Money talks to some people - he can retire more comfortably with 1.2m rather than 800k. It can't hurt to offer, even though the press may bag us yet again if it doesn't pan out.

If Hunt is half as competitive as I think he is - why wouldn't he want to help turn the Tigers around? Sure, it would be a tough assignment. But if successful he could really end his career on a tremendous high. Reminds me of the number of arguments I've had about the Warriors and the massive opportunity they present to coaches and/or players. Can you imagine the headlines if they ever managed to win the competition? Everyone involved could dine out on the success for the rest of their lives in NZ.

Yeah but if we are talking about chances on being successful than the dolphins/broncos would stand a much better chance than the tigers do at the moment.

Hiku and Hess’s form have always been up and down like a yo-yo and Nanai is just learning from some of the best bludgers in the nrl, he should’ve signed with us “the development club” he could be learning off API, Klem, Papi, and Bates.
And hopefully Chad is like, “Nans, I’m going to the Tigers who couldn’t win games with that pack of animals? Oh yeah, well they do have this one bloke but they’re replacing him with a proper 7”. Young Nans be like “I’ve a contract?”, and Chad laughs and say’s “what’s that these days, just sign and agitate, with mental health, play with ya tigers mates, and take 200k a year less coz it’s probably your best chance to win a GF”.

Very unlikely Ben Hunt will be at the dragons in 2024, let alone to end the year

Hunt is a 20x better short term option and we’re probably one of the only teams who’ll pay his salary as well

No brainer imo

I don't know whether that's the case if I'm honest. Hunt said that if they opt to go in another direction away from Hook that he'd like to be involved in the process of hiring the coach.

if the Dragons completely ruin this, which they could, then we might be in with a chance given he's been on the record saying he's settled in Sydney and there aren't any Sydney clubs (except the Chooks if Walker is shown the door) that could afford to pay his salary except for us.

again unlikely that he leaves but my god, if we signed him we'd instantly become premiership contenders. I seriously believe he's that good.
 
Did you hear Souths coach on the news last night saying Wighton will be at home at Souths because he will be with the Australian reps he knows.
Also his mates from NSW SOO Team,
And his indigenous rep mates.

GEE WHIZ, HOW MANY OF THESE REP PLAYERS ARE IN WEST TIGERS.

I GUESS IF WE TAKE EAST SOUTHS PENRITH BRONCS & STORM
THAT WILL PRETTY MUCH COVER ALL THE REP GAMES.
