Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

There are a few people on here who can confirm this (mods included) but we were actually on the verge of signing Braydon Trindall.
He totally bought into the Wests Tigers vision that Sheens has been selling.

So what happened , why did he not sign when that far in

Thank you.

Of course I am.. but we know what to expect from those clowns 🤡.. I expect better from Sheensy, I hope he can turn it around but am starting to worry.. continuing to pick Talau , talk Brooks up while leaving Matamua to Rot on the bench has be very concerned , as so the selection priorities of KOE and junior teams

His press conferences & coaching insiders have been a bit unbearable lately.... sounds like a little kid whose Mum didn't take him to Maccas to get a happy meal. And to me it seems like his whole negative demeanour is rubbing off onto the players as well. Ultimately this all falls back on how inept the front office are.

Is there more fuss than is warranted being made here?

 

[balmain boy]

SHeens has been a cranky old man for a while now. He always has agendas, loves playing mind games with everyone. His days as a head coach finished 10 years ago. Absolute insanity giving him the gig, he's been a disaster. Such an egotistical @$#$#^

Unless it's all part of their negotiation to land someone in return who adds value to their roster.

The challenge for Sheens is that he backed the board over madge when he was in charge or football. Anything he would dispute now just makes him sounds like a hypocrite.

We need one of the old coaches to pin point the management issues after they are out of the joint. If madge can do it (and name names), that would be ideal. He may have a NDA though in any settlement.

why would Madge come back & help out after how he was treated?

Well, it's not helping. It's sticking the boot in. Name names in the media. The problem is, he's just too much of a good bloke to do it.

Who would be one signing for next season who could be a 'fortune-changer' for us, if miss out on Latu Fainu, and lift our confidence in the recruitment & retention committee?

Mine would JACK WELSBY to play 5/8.

My Bulldogs mate said we are close to getting Fa'amanu Brown again that's the only gossip I have heard in the last two weeks

Please no.

Thanks for sharing, I think we need to pay Latu Fainu like superstar if that’s what we see him as. Hopefully Fulton does have that eye for talent we hear about. 🤞

Tartak is asking the same for Latu as Adam Reynolds is on at the Broncos. Is that reasonable? Who knows but it explains a few things I guess.

We just may have to pay it. In two years, if he keeps improving, he'll go past Reynolds. We have to do something different and maybe paying overs for this kid is necessary.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Both , he is apparently a well liked person and coach , Gold Coast does have its draw cards but so does money

Money is good 👍

I'm in no position to make any assumptions about the kid, but Newcastle did something similar with Pongha and sometimes when you are at the bottom of the ladder you have take some risks.

Do it tigers.

 

[Bellend]

If Latu wants Reynolds type money then go to the Dolphins if want to pay that sort of money. The young man has talent and a lot of potential but that is a big if and going on our clubs past rate then we should steer clear.
