Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Betterdays22]

If you’re the coach, you should be able to pick your players to a large extent. Yes, it should go through a recruitment process but ultimately the coach’s fate is decided by infield results.

Ideally, recruitment and the coach should work harmoniously however the way Fulton was appointed was always going to end up in disruption. I think it is best for all that he moves on and at least stop some of the media stories.

I also think either Lee and Pascoe (or both) who are responsible for this situation should fall on their sword.

In principal I agree. The coach is the one accountable so needs input into the recruitment. But its a bit like politics, because its the coaches job at stake he can make decisions for the now which aren't necessarily good for the future. I think its the job of the recruiment manager to be a little more future focused. In this case Cogger and Sezar are probably a much of a muchness really. At least sezar has some experience.

Pound for pound,

Sezar > Brooks

The Sezer news can’t be real can it ?
He’s not even in the top 20 halves in the UK and would be one of the rare halves who is now slower than Wakeham.
If true, surely he’s only being signed as a back up ?

Can WT really be pick when it comes to halves?

Buzz tryna paint Sheens & Benji as the villains when it was his mate Pascoe who appointed Fulton & caused this mess.

Aidan Sezer.

Every time I think the club have sunk to a new low, we find another one.

He is being let go by Leeds. Leeds, one of the weaker English clubs.

Should have signed Sexton.

 

[king_sirro]

We are clearly looking for an on field general. Someone to talk, push people into position, kick well and distribute the ball appropriately. (Cue the Hastings talk)

I can't make a call on signing Sezer until I know who he is paired with. We must find someone to play 6 who has creativity in their game. Fainu, Amone, maybe even Sloan as a 6.

[weststigerman]

So we let Hastings go because he was too slow so we could sign someone even slower?

 

[Todd Packer]

That was the last time Bateman met Sezer.
Knocked him clean out.

Can WT really be pick when it comes to halves?

There are 20 halves in NSW Cup and Qld Cup far superior to Sezer.
We will run last again in 2024 if Sezer is our starting 7 or 6, no doubt about it.

Remember when Hastings was too slow to play half at WT?

 

[king_sirro]

Sloane can’t tackle

I know, either can Amone. It's a tough situation we are in. Fainu is a great defender, maybe we have got him that's why we have gone for a 32 year old general.

 

[Demps]

Remember our halves are currently Will Smith (31) and Brandon Wakeham.

Sezar is way better than these guys...

Keep the negativitiy coming though, I hope he comes back with something to prove & does so.

Saint, Sinner, Shoosh: Benji, Fulton clash over halfback signing — Daily Telegraph

Is Scott Fulton’s position at the Wests Tigers becoming untenable? The recruitment boss and Benji Marshall have clashed over the club’s pursuit of Aidan Sezer, writes Phil Rothfield.

Buzz would be out of a job if it wasn't for the Wests Tigers and Phil Gould.

Sezer is twice as fast as Hastings off the mark. He might not be quick, but his initial acceleration is enough to ask questions of the defense.

 

[Telltails]

Get rid of all of them Fulton Sheens and Pascoe. They are of no value to the club if they are acting on self interest and power plays.

2 x wooden spoon and go shopping in Reggie’s 👍

Most NSW Cup teams would be mid table or better if playing in the UK Super League.
Lack of speed is already a massive problem for us, without signing old, injury prone, drastically slowing has beens.

I'm sold.

I'm a fan of this signing.

Too old? Too slow?
Some wanted Pearce.

Without training they lacked knowledge,
Without knowledge they lacked confidence,
Without confidence, they lacked victory.
