7 Te Maire Martin
6 Luke Metcalfe

... thanks warriors.

Goodbye Brooks.

So you reckon Te is the answer? I haven’t seen either of them play much this year, how’s he going? Is he the organiser 7 we need to make the top 4?
I thought you wanted Volkman off them and now you got Metcalfe? What’s he go like, is he or Volkman organiser 7’s.

Johnson was never going to relocate. He's already spoken lots about how difficult he found it leaving NZ in the first place.

Also - Madden was only seen as good because Brooks sucked. Just like Wakeham was initially viewed as Brooks replacement.

Never debated? I’m not sure if you’ve ever been on the wests tigers forum but (apparently) every thread there is a debate about Brooks 😂

They are trolling mate. They troll everywhere. The mods should keep it one spot.

I was under the impression we signed one of the best three hookers in the game less than a year ago but I guess I must have dreamed that.

Both he and the parramatta second rower are reluctant comers… we all know if they could’ve backed out they would have jumped at it

Come to think about it 🤔🤔🤔

Wakeham was NEVER viewed by the club as a Brooks replacement.....

Yeah, debated on here.... never at Wests Tigers HQ though.

One thing we will need is a goal kicker if we Dont keep Wakeham in the halves. Prob has to be a half so that needs to be considered for next year

If you can’t score tries you don’t need a goal kicker

Simple but elegant statement.

Recruitment is going ok. We’re selling off our player of the year and have thoughts of signing a Chooks reject.

We need to go out now and get the best young half not getting a chance or their path is being blocked. We cant pin our hopes on kids that are 2-3 yrs away, if they're good enough they'll displace whoever we buy. Im not up to date with all the gun young halves around but often hear people mention Sanders at the eels.
Personally id like Trindall but it seems he's willing to bide his time, i dont know anything about this Hawkins guy. But the direction we need to head is development be it from within or poaching the best up and comer, its still falls into line with us being the development club.

Hawkins makes Brooks look like an immortal, scratch him off the list.
Sanders looks to have the most scope with potential to turn into a star.
Trindall if we want a steady halfback with a decent kicking game.
Sullivan if we want someone with individual brilliance, who could mature and turn into a high quality halfback.

Mate we just have to ask all of them and take who ever ses yes haha

If the Tigers cannot secure a well known upgrade in the halves to go with Brooks and Wakeham, I think the targets to add competition need to be Blake Taaffe who falls further down the pecking order once Wighton joins the Rabbitohs, Daniel Atkinson from the Sharks who played for Italy in the World Cup- he's kind of a utility but similar to how Hynes was at the Storm and their feeder club prior to breaking out, Cogger from the Knights who is a lesser talent but possibly more that organiser we lack and the most obvious one is Schuster, who is the only one likely to be a star further into their career.

If the Tigers can't secure an upgrade in the halves of note- get them better wide players to at least give them better targets to kick and pass to. One stand out centre would be a huge upgrade.

Goodbye Brooks.

I wonder if the Johnson offer was to put pressure on the Warriors to make a call on there halves. Maybe there back up halves are our real target.

 

[tony soprano]

Madden looks overawed and out of his depth and looks a lot worse then his last few games here in which I thought he was starting to turn the corner, rather slowly like a ocean liner, but you could see some improvement. His 2 games for them have been average.

What's total team points when he played 8 points? Enough said always been a crap attacker

Who is the roooters reject????

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Wasn't there some story about some player bringing their mate to training and name dropping them to management to get them a deal?

Don't any of our players have friends that are actually first grade quality ?

Pull some strings?

It was Trey Peni Demps, he told the jersey flegg coach about Jahream & they gave him a shot which turned out to be a master stroke.

Mad story and worked out well for us.
Thanks bra.

Wonder if they know any other good prospects 😆🔥

 

[BZN]

Over rated, over paid , probably well over the cap, and when the dragons beat them next week, will implode .

Brave prediction @Tigerstigerstigers, but you were 💯 correct 👍
