Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[weststigerman]

This forum is divided on almost everything, but the last few pages clearly show almost everyone is aligned with having zero faith in the club’s management to deliver a positive outcome.

Who is she?

Some hottie

If that happens, Fulton should leave immediately.

They all should

I am just deep down so glad that Benji in particular had the courage to reject Schuster.

Well done.

Maybe Schuster rejected Wests Tigers. Even signing on after Brooks signed.

I see him being a very good lock, but it will take 2 or 3 years before he is physically ready for it.

Doesn't take that long nowadays. A good trainer will put the size on in 6-12 months. Probably another 6 months to learn how to use it. I think he will become useful in the role but nothing more than that.

 

[hammertime]

if this happens the club should just fold... seriously what the hell would there be to look forward too?

The problem is everyone was so deadset keen to give up Brooksy before a plan B was in place or any existing depth. We don't even have wakeham next year... Our halves may have to be Twal and Seyfarth.

The club better be all over it.

I’m sure I just heard Jimmy Smith (SEN) say Latu going to the Tigers.

Who are the decision makers in the club? How did it come to this? Who is running this ship? Cause at the moment. Its sinking.

Captain Smith went down with the Titanic but i can guarantee that not one of the officers (Sheens Pascoe Lee or the board) will go down on our ship as they will be the first into the lifeboats and the rest of the crew and passengers can try and keep the ship afloat.

A knob private school boy from Melbourne. For eight years. Anyone surprised we're up shit creek?

Should of been a back bencher maybe. Or a fashion designer. If only Pascoe would listen to Lee Show Me Your Money and buy a hat from him. Some of those haircuts don't match his cloth.

I hate this club.

This was my point when news first came about of Brooks rejecting the contract offer. It wasn't me talking up Brooks it was me pointing out the fact we actually needed him to re-sign because there is literally no one else available. Again this all falls back to Lee & Pascoe... until these two f wits leave this club nothing will change.

Maybe Latu saw the level of vitriol for Brooks by some of our "supporters" and decided there were greener pastures.

It is a hard road trying to establish yourself as a first grader whilst having a large section of the fanbase expecting you to provide results. People are calling him a superstar already!
It also seems worrying that he and his management wouldnt look to establish him at Manly with DCE controlling things for a year or two.

Feels Like Addo Carr or Lattrell all over again

Yes I just heard it too.

Mine as well...and at times I have hated having Brooks here.

So pay your membership. We need good durable lifeboats. Weather proof. They aren't cheap.

That is correct. It is not ideal although it is pleasing to know the club has learnt from the Mitch Moses auction. We didn't get dragged into another drawn out contract saga.

Rinse repeat bud. A war chest isn't worth a biscuit when the best players don't respect the club. Brooks rejection was more evidence it's still an unhappy place.

Does anyone know - heard from a reliable source - a friend of a friend, 2nd cousin to the sisters wife, that Brooks will not be leaving empty handed - and will in fact have a couple of Fedoras in his closet as a token of his time with the Wests Tigers?

I have thought that the club does not give a shit about us for many years,it is all an ego trip for those wankers on the board as far as i am concerned

Seen a photo of Chairman Lee and Sirro Snr , i could not work,out what Lee was trying to look like , then it hit me , he is trying to look like a 1940/50 s. Big Time Gangster , Pin stipe Suite , Long overcoat , Hat , I need to find it and post it ,
