Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[KingRobbie]

They seem to make player profiles for the website when a player gets named in a 22-man squad.

That’s what happened with Bula and he didn’t get upgraded til weeks later.

I doubt James has been upgraded.

 

[Tom Shines]

The Chairman is a goose. And as long as we have him self promoting himself at any given opportunity, any talk about us being a basket will have some merit

We seem to be moving into self sabotage … off the back of our best month in 10 years

I applaud your positivity, but what is a month in the scheme of things? We’ve had lots of good “months” over the years. At this point we need to be talking years, not months.

“lots”??

When was the last?

Signing Api and Ipap probably

 

[Tom Shines]

Signing Api and Ipap probably

Yeah .. nah..

On the field results please

 

[Fallen Angel]

Yeah .. nah..

Then I stand by my belief even more. This club needs genuinely two or three years of consistent footy before we can say we are out of the wildneress and that the culture has changed. Not three or four weeks.

I think alot of people are blowing this out of proportion, joe is a decent player and a good bloke but if him leaving is enough to blow our club up than this run of good form was an illusion anyway

 

[tony soprano]

Lee is a joke and hope nrl 360 & others rip him
When will he just learn to shutup.

Parra will be having a party.
They just got a coup mid season swoop Tracey & Joffa within a week.

Nasty

Usually it's when they're there or there abouts to come into the top squad or possibly play....

and I never said otherwise..

I was criticising the comments of the Chairman… who has left us once again open to ridicule

 

[liltiger]

so why is the management writing off the year … like last year?

It's the Wests Tigers management that's why, wouldn't want them to start making proper decisions too soon, we would all drop off from shock.

*yawn*

We've let a good clubman and solid first grader go because he was being paid overs and playing limited minutes.

He was playing in the position that we have the most depth in and will be relatively replaceable while we rid ourselves of yet another inflated contract.

The sky isn't falling. Take a breath.

Bula was required to enter the Top 30 to play NRL when he did, James doesn’t now that Round 11 has passed.

He might’ve gotten upgraded to the 30, I just doubt it.

Time will tell.

Depends who replaces him on the field .which I'd say will be seyfarth but I don't think we need both seyfarth and twal in the same 17

WOW ... People are so negative towards the club and rightly so if it was 12-18 months ago.

Take away all the emotion and look at the facts as our club has done wonders over the last 12 months to turn this club around. We have offloaded most of the deadwood that were just happy to get a pay cheque and replaced with some serious talented players E.g. Bateman, Klemmer, Pap, Api and blooded players like Bula, Tupou, Pole, Starford To'a, Naden etc... Not sure what you all expect because we are building from the very bottom but for me we are 100% heading in the right direction and the playing group seem to be all in (Even after the tough start to the year) .

I love Joe O and will miss him greatly, but I have total faith in the team to replace him or upgrade the guys we don't want to lose E.g. Bula, Stef, Tupou etc.. (Ask yourself would you rather lose Joe O or a Bula / Tupou because we don't have the funds to keep them? I know my choice)

All we really need is a top line 7 and some nice back up players and we are building nicely.

There is a method to Sheen's madness and IMO is working perfectly and we are not getting belted like the past.

Anyway, just wanted to add a positive post and back what the club is doing.

so why are we the only team that has to let players go mid season to retain junior talent?
