Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Finally some great news for us long suffering WT fans signing Latu and Samuela Fainu.

I would like WT to now extend the contracts of Bula, Blore, Staines, Pole, James, Seyfarth, Wakeham (need depth for injuries) and any other promising junior coming through the ranks.

Now need a quality centre or two (speed and can defend) and half back (who has experience and great game management).

Our forward pack looks good and with James and Pole part of the prop rotation I think we are well stocked. I believe Samuela is a second rower so should add to the forward pack.

I am a big fan of Shaun Blore and in recent weeks has proven what a good player he can be injury free. I don't know what his best position in the pack is. Maybe off the bench with Pole, James and Da Silva next season.

I would love the club to say goodbye to AJ, Naden. Laurie and Jake Simpkin at season's end. Not good enough for NRL. Maybe the Eels can take Simpkin for the rest of the season in a player swap for a back. I would even pay out Adam Doueihi's contract as it would be hard for him to come back after all the injuries plus I have never really rated him.

What is the deal with Justin Matamua. Is he the real deal or just another forum "God of State Cup" (We have had so many of this hyped up Gods of State Cup over the years).

Is Josh Feledy a player who can step up in 2024 as a quality centre we have been lacking?
I think To'a can continue to develop into a strike weapon and just needs a good winger along side him.

Still would like to see the Board and CEO changed and Sheens moved on to Director and let Benji and his team start to develop the team for success in 2025.

Even though there is "never a dull day in Rugby League". There is simply not enough content to fill out a tabloid show like NRL 360. They have to beat up and make up crap to fill out the time. The tigers are an easy target without a big personality to protect them so they split the club up eg Hooper goes for Pascoe and Buzz goes for Sheen's. It's so see through that it is pathetic but the amount of money that Fox pours into the game makes them untouchable. I've said it a million times: Fox is the best and worst thing to happen to the game. The coverage is heaps better but they have had to make a bunch of journos into celebrities and they are drunk on the fame.

This makes no sense.
Firstly we weren’t flogged in that game, we applied the flogging in one of our best performances in a decade.
Secondly, why would Rowdy send a smart arse text to the chairman? Would they know each other enough to be that close?
Thirdly, Lee got the shits that we won and forced a very popular player out?
Fourthly, do the words “you can’t be happy with this” when we are winning so we’ll, infer people within our club think the board are tanking the season?

To me this is complete bullshit. However it does require confirmation from Chris.

Losing a few duds like Talau & Laurie.
Then also losing a promising option like Staines.

Stuck with proven ordinary players like AJ & Naden.

Then we got Nofo, plays like he's got one foot out the door.
Inconsistent Toa.
And Tupou, who is struggling.
No real clear better options coming through that are genuine first grade ready.

... Staines was on a 1 year big money deal apparently.

Hopefully there's a plan & we're looking to make some massive upgrades because we're looking thin.

I can't stand Benny Elias, but he did make a great point on 360. The major sponsor should never be on the board let alone the chair of it. If he does or wants something stupid the board are hamstrung to stop him because he's throwing money at the joint
