Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[SmokinJo76]

Sheens doesn't want a half back next year.

Do you really think the coaching staff aren't actively looking for an appropriate replacement for a halfback who was on a millions dollars?

 

[Garrry]

The money tigers offered moses offer it all to Welsby and quickly get him over here before another nrl club does, Welsbys a winner

Imagine our junior's Galvin, Large, etc,
learning from Welsby, at his age already won multiple grand finals, club champions, international player, Tigers should make it impossible for him to not sign, minimum 5 years 1.3 million we have the money use it now and future very good players will come

Can you ask your source about Jack Welsby & Ethan Sanders please.

I'm with you @Garrry - this kid is all effort & toughness too (as well as x-factor)!

Hi guys first time poster. Thought I'd share some good and bad news from a source close to the club.

The bad is that the Fainu bros have knocked tiger's offer back and are looking to go North.

The good news is the club is confident of confirming a very solid half. I wasn't told who this is but I have been told not to expect a superstar but a good club half.

You all need to lay off Fulton he's only been in the job a matter of weeks. Wait and see. If there isn't anyone signed by the end of the season then you can get the pitchforks out.

They've thought Brooks was a very solid half for 10 years.

So, welcome to the club, Matt Frawley.

I think deep down everybody knew the Fainu brothers where going north and we had no chance,would have been nice but i really was not fussed about them.Does that we can get rid of the brother the plodder in K.O.E??

who knows?
they've had plenty of time up till now and still empty handed

We also need someone who moves the needle, not another plodder.

At this point, I don't see any need to tune in to, or attend any games in 2024.

We all know exactly how its going to play out.

I'm with you Supercoach..started following Magpies/Wests Tigers when I was 7..now a couple of weeks off my 73rd Bday.I am afraid I'm really past it.

"confident of confirming" = no signature yet. Therefore it's a maybe.

Likely just a manager tactic to try to either squeeze more $$$ out of us OR add to the perception that the club is in a terrible image position which gives Tartak/Crown power in saying "we'll look after you & then we have to take more clients of theirs".

Moley's article is pure shit.. The concern is with
the family, not the club or wanting to play
for the supercoach up North, that's crazy

Can't wait for a halves combo of Wakeham and Frawley/Clifford/Clune next year.

If the Fainu kids knocked us back we can piss off the other brother, and im not surprised they've knocked us back if your info is on the money. If i had to have a stab at who the mystery half is i'd say it's Clifford, i guess i could live with that but its very underwhelming, we better have our hat in the ring for the Sanders kid then.

But like everything with this club we can stuff up the seemingly obvious moves, so i'll wait with baited breath for this new half and im not overly confident with that.

I'll add to this obviously Lee the muppet thought the Fainu's were a done deal hence his aggressive recruitment drive statement. I swear this bloke should have a gag order imposed upon him.

I'm guessing that was sarcasm given the current shambles at the club. Letting Brooks walk before having a plan in place, especially when the coaches wanted to retain him, is dead set amateur hour.

The board putting a deadline on him is an example how the top down is destroying the club.

Alan Jones being Wests Tigers hero was not on my 2023 bingo card.

You read Chris Masters' Jonestown?

Keep in mind that Jones never sued Chris Masters over it. The truth defence is unbeatable.

 

[razor7]

When will chairman Lee just shut up. We are always have signings just about to happen according to this muppett. Alan Jones calling for the sacking of the board is the first thing he’s said that I’ve ever agreed with

 

[earl]

The NRL is roughly cyclical and eventually Tigers will find a way to get back to the top.

2 years up for every 38 years down for us. We are bound to have a good season soon.

Why would the Fainu Bros sign here anyway. It's career suicide. I wouldn't blame them for knocking us back and heading north to be coached by Wayne. Benjis appeal to the young Islander boys is a poster on their walls, not to be coached by him.
