Our so called leaders are creating a horrible culture at this club shafting a guy who won our player of the year three months into a three year deal & leaving a sour taste in his mouth. How many guys have left WT in recent years with anything good to say? You could probably count the amount on one hand that's how small it is. This guy was clearly loved by the playing group, excellent for the culture at the club & was someone who genuinely wanted to help the club succeed & wanted to play his part in doing that. https://www.weststigers.com.au/news...-as-hard-work-fails-to-translate-to-game-day/
Listen to this interview & see the accountability that Joffa takes, this guy was a genuine leader & someone who put in every week & we let him go for nothing.

And we keep Seyfarth??😢🤔
They both may be good trainers, but one is a good NRL player, and the other one is at best good for counting sea lions around Antarctic continent.

I still hold the opinion that Klem took his intended spot in the squad moving forward,
And realistically is offering more atm...

Bula also been upgraded to top 30 around the same time may have had something to do with it,
And I can't see any real argument on that...

Have said it before and I'll say it again....
Twal and Joe are basically the same player (You don't carry 2 in the 17)
I prefer Joes' output - But they stuck with Twal... Is neither here nor there for me.

I also think it's easy to forget we have the likes of Miller, Fa'agutu, Matamua and Nicholas etc. coming through that are going to need squad spots to hold them in the coming years...

Just how it goes for ole joe I'm affraid...
Top Bloke, Decent Player - I'll keep watching him for sure.

Hey Deckhead!! - Yeah - You!!

Did you miss the first bit where I said Klem has taken his spot in the Squad and is offering more...

I'm assuming you can read - So I'll leave it to you to compare Klem and Joffas Stats....
Get back to me if there's something in them I'm missing.

I don't even need to look to see how much of an upgrade on Joffa Klemmer is...
Also think Fonua offers more (Right now) - At much less money with much more upside.

I won’t call u names , but u need more than one or two forwards to make a team or u do think that we just run with 13
 
only im gonna say here is .. "dont believe everything you read in that story"

Joe didnt like the way he was moved from a starting player to a bench player .. he resented that.

I'd like to ask him how the Parra move came about .. cause if were we offering him up .. we certainly wouldnt offer a deal without something in the deal for us. So what did we get out of the deal with Parra .. a trade .. nope .. did we get another player from another club to replace him .. nope

Parra were in need of some middle forwards with their injuries .. they approached him .. he approach the club (us) for a mid season transfer .. !!

Our club is too dumb to ask for anything in return..

The Wests Tigers are a farm team for the other clubs

Klemmer, Stefano, Pole, Papali'i, Twal...

There's 5 starting Middles for you, And the only one I wouldn't have kept Joffa over is Twal.
Comparing them isn't worth the effort, The difference in output is so minor...
Bang for buck would be more worthy of conversation, Although unnecessary.

Seyfarth on minimal dollars with one year left on his contract is completely different to Joe O on good dollars (probably more than they offered Brooks) for a couple of years.

I love Joe O. He talks about loving the club when he is gone. What a champion dude. At the same time maybe the club made the right longer term decision.
 
Another player sticking in the knife and giving it a twist on exiting, never saw that coming 😒
Be interesting to see the clubs take because freeing up cap space doesnt seem to be the issue, in fact its probably the exact opposite at least in the case of this season.
Only thing that makes a shred of sense is its a future spot they are looking to fill n coming seasons.

the issue with Joe was the reported salary he was on for 2024 and 2025 approx 600k once we got klemmer Joe's role in the team at that price was redundant.

The club took an opportunity to move him on this year to a team in Parramatta that needed him for 2023 and were willing to take on his inflated 2024 and 2025 salary.

As for Seyfarth is is not on much for his contract so the club keeps him and likewise a team did not want seyfarth's services for 2023

They took a stab in the dark signing Fulton thinking he was some miracle man. 50 days later, nothing, and it’s another rubbish decision. Stop sacking people and sack yourself you muppets.

I must admit i was hopeful we'd be hearing something decent by now from him but its more crickets.

I was bitterly disappointed we moved Joe on however the real problem is the muppets just extended him for 3 years. How much confidence does that give you in their decision making.
