Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Hey all just in case no-one has noticed Brooks is gone!Good luck to him and hopefully us too. But time will tell. Unless he is coming back no point Even mentioning him here. Unless there is a deep love for him. Then that’s different, sometime love and hate is the same. No need to love him anymore. Gonsky. Let him get discussed at the Manly Forum not here. Getting pathetic tbh.

If it’s between the Tigers and Dragons, surely we are a shoe in.


1). Join their brother at the WT
2). chance to be coached by Golden boot 5/8, Benji.
3). chance to play with their mates in Feledy, etc
4). their manager is close to Benji.
5) . Fulton connection.
6). WT are less of a basket case than Dragons.
7). Less competition for their first grade spot with the WT.


hope they do sign with the WT, and we swap Latu for Talau this year

I'd like to think the seven points you raised are good enough to sign the brothers... but being long suffering Tigers supporters, I think we all know that it can still go very wrong for us... keeping all my fingers and toes crossed though and saying a few prayers that we get good news soon enough 🙏 🤞

If Hynes is selected for the SOO3, then we will likely be up against Trindall at halfback next Thursday night!

Mate that's what I was thinking, with Robson
proving that he can play 80 @ hooker last week
they could go with Hynes at 14 as a utility 🤞🏼

Sam and latu will sign up I'm sure

Dude

Cliff lyons had geoff toovey who was the 7

Foran had DCE as the 7

Muster has Hughes as the 7

Scott bill had kimorely at 7

Lockyer had Langer as the 7

They all have the right numbers on their backs!

Ilias is the 7 bc Cody can just float and create on the edges

Cody is not controlling the middle… he is on the outside.


All the players you mentioned are the guys who setup the backs …

So you’ve just proven my point lol…

And now that brooks wears the 6 and is outside DCE at 7 … you watch! He’ll go great and good luck to him

He will stuff up back line movements and DCE will punt him

How quickly you forget,Johny Cronk aka John Morris was a backup hooker from Newie who Sheens claimed would be our "Cooper Cronk" and be a great half for us.The poor bloke was completely unsuited to the position but for 3 years Tim kept on banging the square peg into the round hole hoping it would work.It was destroying Morris as a player and our team at the time.
For me and many others that was the end of the honeymoon for Tim not because he got it wrong but because he was so stubborn and pig headed he would not admit he was wrong and make adjustments.I was pleased for Morris when he finally went to the sharks and played in his correct position and did a decent job.
I will always appreciate 2005 and his years before it but i will never give him plaudits for his many stuffups.This year is looking like one of his worst years because he has learned nothing and still will not admit to his mistakes

I mean Cooper Cronk started making some gains in 2006, but John Morris was well into our team then.

In fairness to Sheens, he isn't as Pig Headed as Madge. Madge it was same gameplan, same roster, same loss. Sheens seems to be trying everything but working on our defensive line. Had we focused on Defense instead of 200,000 passes at the start of the year I suspect we would be mid table.

Heard a little whisper that Dragons are making some calls around both Fainu brothers. I was told the deal with Latu and Tigers is imminent, however Dragons are making some last minute calls.

Dolphins have been notified he’s not going there.

The overall belief however is the Fainu boys will be Wests Tigers players in 2024 so time will tell.

We've certainly got the edge with the other brother already here, the Fulton link and Benji giving the green light. Also they will have more of a path here to first grade than Saints, which sounds ridiculous but its true.

My frustration with it all isn't that Brooks is gone but that it's still crickets, they say they want Latu Fainu how long does it take to offer the kid and his brother a contract. They just seem so blasey about it all. Everyone on the forum will argue amongst ourselves at times but we are all a huge family who want the same thing, we just want the team we love to find some success, while the players, coaches and admin can come and go were stuck in this mess we can't just pack it in and walk. What they are doing to us fans is so wrong, it is imo disgracefull. We can argue amongst our selves but all want the same thing, I'm confident the way they've treated the fan base over the last 10 years is nothing short of a joke.

100% we have offered him a contract. He is just taking time in signing it and working through the details.

So why did we sign his brother? I guess so we can say "your bro is playing here" and use that as a lure.... While if we don't sign Bro, then another club can use that Leverage....

Contracts can take ages for a stack of reasons. Hoping Fainu can land here and really hoping he can perform. We do need an organising halfback better then Wakeham though at least Wakeham is the closest to an organising half we have had in ages.

John Morris was signed for the 2007 season to replace Scott Prince who was going to the Tits,he was not a half back but Tim was determined to make him one.He was not in our club before 2007 but had played at Newie and Pawwa but as a hooker where he was a decent player and would have made a decent back up hooker for us

It’s got to be a hit to the old ego…
They have to decide between a maggot riddled turd sandwich and a rat infested bag of dicks.
