Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Weidler reporting we have secured the Fainu brothers

I knew there must of been a reason why in the NSWcup Sione slipped into the starting lock position in jersey 23…

Massive coup if it's true !!! I just want to plead with the fans to let Latu develop on his own & not place massive pressure & expectations on the kid too early. I have no doubt that Brooks being hailed as the next Andrew Johns before he even made his debut has played a part in how his career has ended up.

Players that age are going to have some great games & then there's going to be games where he overplays his hand & makes a few mistakes... it's all apart of being a young half as currently being seen with Isaiya Katoa from The Dolphins.

Seconding this. Some Luke Brooks scars will quickly be opened again if he doesn't get off to a flyer. Patience please...

Must be school holidays

Can you shed some light @barnzee on why the club is such a 'shit show'. Not having a go, just interested from your perspective. Most on here agree to various degrees on the poor decision-making of the chairman, board & CEO and want a professional review to advise on areas that need change and what these can be.

I'm stoked. We have hope for next year. At some point our bad luck has to turn doesn't it.

Like to see we continue making adjustments.

With Talau and Laurie on the way out...

Few outside backs who can improve our backline, in grade and cup.

I'd like to see AJ, Naden and Nofo offered up to other clubs too.

Staines, Blore and Seyf extended.

Young Dons man.

This was on Reddit:

Pin this on your fridge, the Fainu brothers WILL bring Wests Tigers a premiership.

..or stab someone at a Church dance. One of the two.

We shouldn't talk like that bro 👌🏼

love seeing all this signing news & not one name is incoming to the tigers.View attachment 5973

welp, poking them with the sh** stick worked!!!!!

 

[Todd Packer]

So Manly got Brooks and Talau and we got the Fainu's.
And we're supposed to be the basket case.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

We had 4 reps in the U19s SOO - Faagutu, Feledy, Sam and Latu Fainu. Four pretty handy young players for a club which is looking for talent.

 

[Kaito]

We did it fellas!!!

 

[TIGERPOWER]

What makes you think Benji will be a good coach?
By all reports he has been running things most of the year and has lost 14 from 17 games.
He has also failed to attract any talent, missing out on a lot of players he wanted.

Where did I say he was a good coach lol

 

[Tom Shines]

We did it fellas!!!

We?

The Fainu brothers must have been reading the forum and seen how optimistic and united we are…

 

[Needaname]

If he is here they are going to play him. He is much more hyped than Bula was and he has reserve grade experience and he will be getting paid big dollars.

2024.
1 . Bula
6. Fainu
7. Sezer
9. Api

--> It'll probably fall to pieces but they might perform.

Bula is 22. The only precedent set currently is Matuma and Da Silva and it’s a 50% strike rate there. Maybe we look to bring in Sullivan in the short term?

We will definitely be adding another half. Just a matter of who.

 

[DALLAS68]

they both didnt want to leave Sydney so Dolphins were never really in the hunt.

some good news for a change at least

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Funny during the U19s match Gould commented on how Feledy from Beacon Hill ended up at the WTs. Then there was a stunned silence after Faagutu made his first run which was a beauty and the commentator said he was with WTs. It was tantamount to a that cannot be right.

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

I found it. Has replied to a few Tiger fan tweets in the last 24 hours.

"he will go well once out of that shit club"

"Hopefully Simpkin out of that shit show real soon."

"Bit hard to stand out in that shit show Champ."

His favourite word seems to be “shit”… maybe that’s the sort of person he himself is

I’m tipping Gus doesn’t visit Fainu’s brother in jail again

I’m tipping Gus said to the Fainu’s, I’ll be back in 3 years… when they are only 21 and developed into good players by the WT
