Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[hank37w]

Your post bpt 0 reminds me of the amazingly exciting things being said about Daine Laurie prior to WT signing him. And so far, he hasn't lived up to those positive comments.

We need to ask Gus for an assessment of the kid. 🤣

There has also been significant change at the club. Manly keep cycling through CEO’s and coaches and now Fulton has left, the vision Manly sold his family is probably different to the club he’s now at.

If this is the reason he’s looking for a change then is Wests Tigers really a great landing spot?

The lure of Wayne Bennett is a concern.

I think the lure of Wayne is decreasing. He is only coaching next year like Sheens

Hi All

I'm new to this Forum and a huge WT fan, just reading through the posts I love the passion shown by the fans on here. I hope we sign Latu Fainu and his brother, apparently the Dolphins are after them too. We urgently need a decent halfback for next year. Hoping we get some positive signing news soon

 

[hank37w]

As long as he meets the height requirement at Luna Park.

Coming to Wests Tigers would be the ride of your life.

Welcome mate, you are on the money with your assessment. There is a lot of passion here mixed in with a heap of disdain for the failings of the club as a whole. This can sometimes taint the posts but there are always a few nuggets that you can pick up along the way.

There are some wise footy heads on here - you will work out how to sift the wheat from the chaff pretty quickly.

Cheers n Beers

Welcome to the forum @Tiger_Yoshi, it is good to have you joining.

Enjoy the warm banter, and the great passion we all have here for the Mighty WT !

Enjoy your stay.

Why do you watch it?

I love the games they play and try to catch it whenever I can.

I have managed to get over the outrage and now get a good laugh out of it.

First the media bang on the Tigers are stupid for paying Brooks so much because he has never performed and we are paying only on potential.
Now he has left its this.

There is a deadset media agenda against us ever since Marina Go became our chair. Don't get me wrong our board, ceo and inspector gadget don't make it hard for them. But none the less the agenda is plain as day imo.

You... you do realise it’s satire right? It’s like getting mad at a Betoota Advocate article

 

[mikey]

C'mon Mikey, we know its been a constant issue getting the decision makers in one room to approve, disapprove, or start a fight.

Did I say it wasn't? 🙂
I don't think taking a week to get a face to face appointment is unreasonable. At least it was my experience in working with other organisations to put something together.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

They look pretty 'stoked' to be there with Tartak… Thrilled even…. 🤣

I really don’t understand the hate for NRL360 and Hooper on here. Anything they say about the Tigers gets said by the fans on this forum every day. It’s like it doesn’t matter if it’s true, they’re just not allowed to say it, only we are. It’s bizarre

 

[Yossarian]

The Dolphin signed a young half from Panthersb last year, why would they want another young half.

Why indeed.

So who's the investigators on here to figure out which dodgy restaurant they are at?

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Hopefully WT can spark some Marshall magic and manage to land Kayal Iro.

He was Sharks 2022 NSW Cup player of the year.

👌🏻

Robbie’s pizza place.

What manager would tell a couple of kids to leave their family and all their friends to move to Redcliffe where'd they'd have nobody.
The only way Wayne gets them is if he brings the whole family up (which isn't impossible I suppose)

 

[Todd Packer]

Melbourne is pretty unsuccessful hey

I'm talking about these two kids specifically who have a very strong community and family connection.
Redcliffe isn't Melbourne by the way. The culture shock alone would be huge.

What jail is their brother at

Very different though, Melbourne is a big city with the benefit of being somewhat anonimous. Redcliffe is footy obsessed and very different from a socio-economic perspective.

Same as hayne, cell mates
