How do some deals NOT get made...

[Merlot]

If it’s nobody’s preference to play for the Tigers then by extension we have 30 players who either don’t want to be here or didn’t at some point. You’re likely not far wrong, there’s plenty of evidence players aren’t all in and they get out when they can.

So those very guys who didn’t want to be here or would rather be elsewhere just need to win and all will be fixed. Simples.

If we take a step back, shouldn’t we really address the environment that exists which prevents us attracting players? I’ve personally been told by Tigers players that this club treats its players poorly. We hear about additional resources going into the football department, that all sounds like corporate speak to me. Do we treat players as well as the other clubs?

Telling a playing group who wound up in an environment they didn’t want to be in to “just win” is not a realistic solution.

Having an independent review of the culture might be a start.

do tell,dont b a name dropper but what were their grippes

Having to pay for things out of their own pocket that were provided at other clubs.

holiday cottages n such,their sox if they lost them ?

 

[Merlot]

Regardless of what it was, they were expressing a lack of respect for the decision makers at the club. Hastings did it too. Brooks last week in a column. There’s enough evidence out there that they just aren’t competent in their roles.

regardless ,all respect,just more that needs to b looked at in a review,most workers can deal with a large problem ,its the many small that grind them down

We have to play harder and win a few more games to swing the perception of the club around.

A few more games?
Try 40 from our next 50 at a minimum.

Purchasing Wests Tigers merch is akin to enabling a heroine addict.

Let's be realistic, why would a young promising half want to come and play for the Tigers when the likes of Penrith are speaking to him? There wouldn't be a single person in his network telling him to consider us if he has other options.

 

[Rugba]

I can’t blame the club on not getting a player in swap for Joe O . Tigers are looking at offloading , not the player or opposition club trying to get off books so you won’t get another player in that instance and also you don’t want to jeopardise the release of that player as you want him gone .

As for not getting Ethan sanders could it be he is not on radar or priority as Fulton was always after the fainu brothers ?

 

[crazycat]

Yeah...but we could have insisted they include Sanders.

Make it clear he is not in their plans / needs to be in the deal.

I... Totally agree.

I liked Joe O, no problem with upgrading him and I get Sheens may have had a harsh attitude "get people used to failure out of my side".

Why on earth wasn't a swap arranged? if not for a half then a Centre?

 

[TieDye]

I don’t deny the past. I don’t accept it as the future.

That’s just reality. Don’t let him disturb @batboy
