Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Other teams have match winners,
West Tigers have match losers,
Watching that game tonight was sooo much like watching them play last year.

And that B----D that hit Api with the forearm did it again twice and not pinged by the ref, we lose Api ref puts him on report for a forearm to the chin, but?,

No 10min In bin or sendoff.

BUT WE HAVE TO DEFINATELY LET BROOKS. TALOU. WAKEHAM. NOFO. AND SIMPKIN IS PRETTY BAD AS WELL.

SO IT IS DEFINATELY STARTING TO LOOK LIKE OUR SECOND WOODEN SPOON COMING UP.

Telegraph has updated its story on McDonnell leaving with quotes from him ...

“Scott and I are entirely different people,” McDonnell said.

“We work in different ways and deal with people differently. It was never going to work but I take great pride in what we have achieved at the Tigers.

“The club has never been in better shape. We have recruited some quality players and we have some great kids coming through.

“The club is set up for long term success and I take great pride in the role I played in that.”

Let’s hope so @tigerballs 🤞 Did your source mention a player swap as part of any deal as both are under contract I believe.

I don't really know the ins and outs but it's fairly common knowledge WT are going in hard for both. Most player managers are in tune with what's going down because it affects their own clients. The Fulton signing changed the landscape because he has a good relationship with a lot of islander kids as well as Tartak and because WT have a lot of cash to spend, everyone is trying to either get their own kids a run or up the price with other clubs.

Curious to see how T'oa goes at 5/8. Outstanding at centre but could be a revelation at 6.

He would be an awful choice for 5/8.

He's effectively a forward. Big, slow, powerful, but lacking in skill and passing. His only move is to try fend someone off, push them to the ground and try make ground. He needs to lift his game and he'll certainly never play 5/8 again in his life.

These comments are ridiculous.
Have seen a few around if brooks was decent bloke.
500k with the cap increase would struggle to get you a top 13 player these days let alone a half.

As if you would do that. Walk into your current employer in the current economy and where the cap had a massive increase and say hey can you take 20% off.

Why expect someone else to do so.

Because if you performed like he has in your current job you would have been sacked. I take it you enjoyed watching the game this evening.

So you wouldn’t take a 20% pay cut would you?
Thats the point re saying if he was a decent bloke or not because not many would especially when the cap increased by as much as it has.

Ideally we move down a different path.
He won’t take us to the finals everyone knows that.

I know Volkman has been brought up a lot but I wonder if Chanel Harris-Tavita is worth a look for this year. Believe he's back in Auckland and no offence I don't see too many clubs releasing their depth players, as loan to other clubs.

Only just signed at the Warriors. Something has to give there with all the halves they have.
