Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[cymon007]

Odd that the media is banging on about Fultons relationship with Tartak (Manager of the Fainus and some of the Wests Kids)
Benji was managed by Tartak like a decade ago....

Surely he has just as good a relationship (Certainly a longer one) with Tartak?
Then again - Benjis had a few managers...

He was originally managed by Martin Tauber, who then retired basicaly handing on his client to Mario Tartak/Crown Sports International this was When Benji was at St George. Post St George there were numourous reports of Benji saying he just called Wayne and Bennet said come to Brisbane. Following the broncos stint. Bennet suggested the call to the tigers fora "home" coming. Then a final season at souths playing out almost the same way with Benji Calling Bennet and souths being his final Rodeo. *Benji is now with differnt representaion so im thinking there is no love lost.

Another factor could be living in NZ. He may not enjoy living there and wants back to Australia

Playing for the Wests Tigers at the moment is such an unappealing thought, that even living in NZ would be preferable for most

I follow the LA Rams pretty closely and their head coach is a genius, refuses to look further ahead than next Sunday.

yep.. got them a SB win… they won’t be back anytime soon though… I would still take it

Double rebuild, it's a hard time to watch football.

Rams owner and GM are super aggressive so more hope there.

Unfortunately the Tigers have been so bad lately that the NFL is now my No 1 sporting obsession 😢

2024 possible spine
1. Bula
6. Metcalf
7. Seizer
9. King Api 👑

That's a nice thought, but I think it could more likely be:

1. Bula
6. Wakeham
7. Sezer
9. Simpkin/Da Silva

Api requests a release.

Sorry. WT did this to me.

Metcalf has overtaken TMM for the 6 jersey. Don't see him leaving the Warriors personally.

I’d really like the idea of getting both Latu and TMM.

TMM to start 2024 at 6 next to Seizer whilst Latu has a bit more time in NSW cup then potentially groom TMM as a 14 moving forward.

I really like his game he did really well when given the chance at the Broncos and Warriors.

Just had a look at who is in the Matt Desira Aria Management stable that it seems we are on side with (Benji's manager) ... Brandon Mansfield, Heath Mason, Mikey Tannous, Jeral Skelton (interesting considering @a_dog mail last week), Jayden Campbell ... no others that would really interest us.

Oh I made that up actually.

Have you heard something re Latu and Te Maire @teddy23 ?

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Mate I spent 30 minutes of my life watching highlight videos of Skelton after that.

Needed a draft and free agency system sorted like yesterday, iv no doubt given enough time with the current system interest in the game will wane, it'll die off.

There will never be a draft. The Players association have said they'll never agree to it as they believe it's a restriction of trade on their membership

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Metcalfe would be a decent pairing with Sezer to be fair, hope there's truth in it.
Also offer Parra Simpkins as a swap for Sanders give him a year or so to bed in and take over from Sezer.

 

[Camel2281]

our season is done by May, always next year.

Not saying it's right, just agreeing with you.

He's no Andy Reid

Why on earth would Metcalf leave the warriors.? He's been playing brilliantly and seems to have locked up their no6 jersey

Because they're in NZ is one good reason.

Good that Heath Mason is in that management group. Should help us lock him up long term.

Maybe he wants to return to Sydney and his form has allowed him to get good offers back here as a starting 6??

But TMM is contracted long term.
Metcalf is the one the Warriors haven’t banked on kicking on. He is still there for next year sure. But at the end of the day TMM has a contract to end of the following year; if he doesn’t want to leave he doesn’t have to. Basically by that the Warriors are in a bind if they wish to keep Metcalf and can’t afford to without moving on another half or hoping Johnson retires end of next season.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Fair enough, I'll have to give him a second look

Let us know how it goes.

Yep, love the NFL. I followed the Chiefs through about 25 years of average until the recent glory so there's always hope I guess. Tigers just need to unearth a Patrick Mahomes
