Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[crazycat]

We are a club with a famously poor culture. Maybe under Bellamy he might work but every time we sign a dick they act like a dick.

We managed James Roberts Okay. He had a huge rapsheet. No he did not perform, but no real off field trouble. Brent Naden seems to be doing okay.

Yes we used to take troublemakers and we used to have no hope with them. BJ Leulia is probably one we have not controlled. ...

I reckon we could get the aggression with Lodge without the hassles. that is, IF Lodge wanted to play and finish here. I 100% would not spend overs and yes have a management plan in place. Sheens + Farah would handle Lodge (heck Farah may have played with him).

Train wreck???

That is US!!!!

Broncos always had some of the best young backs and forwards in the NRL coming through!!

Grow up!!!

Hahahaha go have a nap mate

Read my post again. I’m saying because he was so strong on his stance to remain in Sydney for 3 years and already winning a premiership highly likely it’s his last contract too - factoring in the hypothetical of Bennet coming too playing a big part in bringing him over. I believe we could’ve got him.

He’d probably prefer to play with us then relocate to a struggling broncos team. Without that Sydney advantage, then yes broncos would probably get him over us regardless on how bad they were.

Bennet was and is no chance of coming to Tigers. Either is Hunt and probably for the same reasons.
If they thought it was a tough gig at Dragons, we are the real challenge.

Get you’re facts right mate.
Pascoe did not bungle anything there.

Ummmm, yes he did. Bennett in an interview said he shook hands with Pascoe and said he wanted to Coach WT in 2020. Pascoe wanted him to join immediately for 2019 so he could tell Ivan to leave asap, Ivan was prepared to stay for 2019. So, sorry, he bungled it good and proper.

 

[GCfan]

I'd take my local pizza shop manager ahead of Pascoe!!

But does he have a pizza called “The centre of excellence”?
🤔

I’m still a little shocked after Joffa leaving we are not in the papers chasing anyone , player for this season and beyond plus some other players we need in positions ( Centre , 5/8 , Half , ) I know James may be bought up to replace Joffa but he is good for 15 minutes , Blore told to move on , we need to get a move on , Grab the bulldogs Averillo first up and keep going , Brooks offer $ 650 to stay if not go hard for 6/7

Hoffa May have been on a diehard list. Better players get snapped up quickly.
I thought Averillo has signed with Redcliffe?
Not sure what Brooks could be thinking obviously, but imagine he would want that number to start with a 7? Wouldn’t be surprised if Roosters grab Brooks.

The Raging Bull might like to look in the mirror:

Police investigate Tallis pub incident

Police are investigating an incident at a Brisbane hotel involving former rugby league international Gorden Tallis.

Pot calling the kettle black.

 

[bathursttiger1]

Media at the time reported that Bennett was a done deal, Bennett even admitted as much. Then the door at South’s opened and as usual the Wests Tigers brand scared off another circuit breaker signing.

The Tigers had already signed Madge, Bennett wouldn’t sign as he still had a contract with the Broncos.

 

[batboy]

There’s numerous articles about this but if you’ve got insider knowledge that I don’t I couldn’t care to argue. We got Madge, couldn’t attract key players and here we are. Is what it is.

He's right - You're initial assessment isn't fair...
I know you don't like the blokes at the top - But be fair in the crap you write...

Bennett agreed in principle - But wouldn't dip out on his last year of his Broncos contract.
Leaving us without a coach for 2019
- And into the wind with whatever might have come in the next 12 months...
We weren't in a position to hold out in hope...

In hindsight - Some may claim it might have been an idea... But none would have at the time (Including you)

We got Madge and The Broncos shafted Bennett for Seibold a little later....
Maguire was hired in October - Bennett sacked December
There's as many articles on it as you wanna read....

 

[Kaito]

Actually Reynolds would smash it behind our pack, he would actually put our back rowers into holes and our backs would actually get clean early ball .....

I know our coach is trying to protect his players,
But hearing him talk about Brooks not scoring
7 tries hurts. Like you said, just put back rowers
through gaps and feed the ball, everyone knows
You're running and will step off your left back
Into traffic straight through traffic in the middle.
Show the same love ur teamates showed You.
Happy If he goes but the team needs him during
a transition period..he's a good human Brooksy

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

WTF, really. If that's true the bloke could a deadset cancer at any club who would take him. Plenty of blokes disagree with their coaches but be professional or at the very least an adult about it. Hopefully he's changed alot since then.

Well, 4 clubs took him in fact - Tigers Broncos Warriors & Chooks.

 

[Kaito]

Running a gap is a two man operation. Kepaoa was in one two weeks ago and wasn’t even looking at the ball.

But blame Brooks, or To’a or Wakeham. Same shit.

Your picking one sequence here Banger...

His backrowers and outside men lost
some confidence as well, suffice it 2 say.
But unlike those poor souls, we titty fed him.
He never got dropped grade nor had his
Jersey number changed. He's our darling

Grow up!!!

Agree to disagree, Sheens responded to our three years + hibernation, and "invented" Bula and Tupou,
with Feledy, Railley to come, also re-energised To'a. 💪 🐅

 

[Tito Santana]

Brooks should take what he can get. He reminds me of my 5 year old who said he wasn’t coming back the other day and when I closed the door he was bashing it down. Gold! And when he’s got no offers, I’d be saying did I say $550 per year? Sorry, I meant $550 over two years!

 

[HowDugWT]

If your a halfback surely you would be licking your lips if the Tigers tabled an offer.
Great forward back to get you down the field.
2 amazing backs (Bula and Tupou) with some great young centres
An elite 9
I think now it is just the tigers recruitment strategies because its not looking great atm

 

[Kaito]

I think he’s a 6 no doubt. And there’s evidence he doesn’t form great connections with back rowers but there’s more to it than meets the eye. The lack of stability in our spine and poor forwards over the years being right up there. Whatever the reason I just hope he gets moved on and replaced soon. Best for all parties.

Def a 6. Great D, great hussle. Really good
guy to play with for sure.
He Played with so many great men, great men that
repped their state & country. We'll see what
happens..
The apologises on here should honestly be ashamed
Though. And it was mostly media driven & based
Off of loyalty and & emotion ( hoping he would
come good) etc.

 

[Kaito]

We're running last again with the most hectic pack we've seen In years. Brooks is off

 

[Kaito]

Tigers have had very very few origin and Australian players in Brooks time in first grade (compared to the top clubs who have rep players on mass). The best players he played with achieved all their accolades after they left Wests. Let’s not change history.

Yes I'll pay that, but my point still stands .
