Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Todd Packer]

Laurie is a free agent, he doesn’t need to beg to sign with another team

I think he either means an early release or he begged Penrith to please take him back.
Either way, begging is unsightly.

We hold the cards alright. The deck has nothing but two’s and jokers.

Sheens' comments on Bula are well-known. They are just a couple of examples I used. Tuiaki is another.

Tuiaki…lets go back to Noa Nandruku like another guy did yesterday…

unfortunately it’s not 1990 anymore and Sheens isn’t 40 years old…

he is starting to look a bit tired and beaten in these press conferences as the year has gone on..

he might need a rest

He is there to protect Benji, who is coaching the side. His role is to be a minder, which he is doing whilst Benji learns the ropes. Anyone thinking that Sheens is coaching the side is deluded.

Player managers also have other clients including talented juniors. The club has put effort and resources into the Pathways and the identification and retention of our best juniors. Adding another assistant is not an unreasonable concession to make to ensure we do not compromise the great initiative the club has with its Pathways/juniors etc. Adding someone of the quality of John Morris is a big win for WTs.

True, so long as we don't get stuck at the mercy of a player manager like the last time, they have way too much power atm.

Totally, Benji is doing everything atm. Sheens is just the face chiming in with advice when needed otherwise I reckon he's only there to take the arrows from the media

Well… Several here claim daily that Sheens is doing a good job coaching and developing young talent ..

I think Sheens has just managed to piss off the player manages that Fulton knows to bring players to the club. Dumb move.

Legendary Brisbane Broncos recruitment officer Cyril Connolly is a name most would recognise. I think he was around 80 when he officially retired from the Broncos. I'm sure you know he brought to the club players of the quality of Hancock, Carne, Renouf, Sailor etc. Age didn't weary him. While the body may not be as physically willing, the mind is still sharp,

He has nothing to do with Sheens nor the NRL landscape of 2023 and beyond….

He's a good example of an older Australian possessing the recruitment intuition that never fades. 1990, 2000, 2023 - a good footballer is a good footballer.

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

Wests Tigers Forum members always get sucked in by a rumour and a highlights video.

As much as I dislike Sheens… its not his place to be suckholing player managers… they pay Fulton to do that…

Anyway … we know Benji is having the final say on new players now… not Sheens

That is exactly what Tims bum kissers are saying despite the horrendous results

I know right. Furner must be reading all this saying "What am I, a ham sandwich?"

Maybe he is more like a cheese sandwich, if he is the defensive coach he deserves to go

 

[hank37w]

Fatso Ice does have a kiwi partner over there.
We're not shopping Blore anymore.
It's all coming together.

Thought I heard somewhere that Ice's lady has come over here to be with him.

 

[Fish88]

I'm not keen on Blake but I'd trade Simpkin for a used broom to help sweep the COE.

What’s the bet we release him to clear up salary cap space for another nonexistent signing

 

[Kelce68]

If we pick up Waqa Blake I might actually cry. Not tears of joy btw. Terrible player. Basically Robert Jennings all over again. Would fast become the most hated player at the club.

One glance at the Parramatta forum would confirm this.

Ron Massey Cup level.

She has...walked away from her netball team over there… so big move from her

Welcome to the Tigers Luke Metcalf.
See ya Ice.
Print it Buzz.

You put that up a bit late for Tuesday night's NRL360 but it should feature in tonight's episode.
