Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Sullivan is a great get. In context, he is only free to look around as Hunt has agreed to stay, they have Amone and Flanagan is bringing over his son.

Together with Sezer (if reports are to be believed) and Fainu, we have a good group of halves.

Now if only we can get Lomax too then we are set for 2024.

What about Alomoti as a option.. elite junior.. a dozen 1st grade games.. would be pretty cheap seen as he's been shopped around.. might be worth the experiment..
Did I read somewhere that Brian Kelly is being shopped around as well.. might be worth a year or two..

Alomoti aint that good, was just bigger then everyone else as a junior

Kelly was shopping himself around but apparently agreed to a new deal at the GC

TIGERS SIGNING WARS EXPOSE CLUB’S MISSMANAGEMENT

YOU’VE got to admire Wests Tigers captain Api Koroisau making a return five weeks after suffering a broken jaw to try and help the club avoid a second straight wooden spoon.

Koroisau, 30, has consistently been the Tigers best player all season with his guile and deception out of dummy-half providing the rest of the team with a far superior platform to play off.

In a rare smart play from the Tigers, the club has now extended Koroisau’s contract until the end of 2026 in a bid to provide some much-needed stability to the playing roster.

The only problem? Wests Tigers new head of recruitment Scott Fulton knew nothing about Koroisau being given an additional year on his contract.

Instead it was Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe and soon-to-be head coach Marshall who did the deal.

This is the same CEO who decided it was a good idea to sign Fulton as head of recruitment without consulting Tim Sheens or Marshall a couple of months back.

That’s gone well so far.

And even though Fulton is against signing UK Super League halfback Aidan Sezer from Leeds, Marshall’s agent Matt Desira has now been sent a one-year contract for the ex-Raiders grand final halfback from 2019 to join the Tigers next season.

Is it any wonder the Tigers are all over the shop with management like this?

We keep going back to the late, great Jack Gibson line. Winning starts Monday and winning starts in the front office.

Paddle pop lion CEO Pascoe’s next job should be building a new trophy cabinet to house the back-to-back wooden spoons the Tigers have collected in 2022-23.

He can put it next to the barber shop at the Concord-based club’s Centre of Excellence. In fairness it’s been a Centre of Mediocrity to date.

Spare us the dribble about how well Pascoe’s got the club going on a commercial level. The NRL grant now gifts every club $5 million each year.

So the 17 NRL clubs all start $5 million in the black. By the time you throw in sponsorships and memberships it’s almost impossible to run at a loss.

Sezer, Sullivan and Fainu is a pretty good outcome considering what’s available. Sullivan can cover multiple positions if Fainu hits the ground running. The club will need to get ahead of Sullivan’s hamstring issues though so he sees out the season.

As much as Doeuihi is a write off for half of next season I think those 4 are enough.

Any hamstring guys especially in the halves I'd send to the dude in America similar to what Metcalf did.

This is so unprofessional. I had to look the article up to see if this was actually stated. Freaken bizzare.

Yep, Hooper is a tool of the highest order with a puerile axe to grind against the tigers.

I mean, omg...I can't believe what a joke it is that Api was extended...I'm sure everyone was just livid about that... 🙄

It's well beyond a joke. Before the game last weekend fox had Jessica Yates, Corey Parker and Alexander? In the studio with Matt Russell at the ground. Because it wasn't the usual suspects, the comments were refreshingly objective about the tigers.

Was nice to have that little respite!
 
Sullivan is depth sigining , and could be a handy 14. Are we the right system and fit ? Who knows, I am not shaking the magic 8 ball. Don’t read the Fulton benji bullshit into it. Media hysteria, if we win more games wouldn’t be jawing on about.

I am a sad sack, tapping out until 24. Hopefully Pascoe and joe Pesci are gone, doubt it. Bye guys

The not-so-secret meeting that could solve the Tigers’ halves dilemma​


Is this the moment Wests Tigers halves dramas are resolved?

At about 11am on Thursday, Jayden Sullivan, with his family and agent in tow, took a tour of the Wests Tigers’ COE.

That process began with a not-so-secret meeting at the Tigers’ headquarters at Concord.
Sullivan toured the facilities and met with Tigers powerbrokers as he pondered swapping one struggling joint-venture outfit for another. He met with Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe, chairman Lee Hagipantelis and recruiter Scott Fulton. Coach Tim Sheens and his successor, Benji Marshall, preparing the team for Friday’s clash with South Sydney in Tamworth, weren’t able to meet Sullivan personally.

However, Marshall gave his pitch via Zoom during Sullivan’s 90-minute tour of the facilities. A formal offer is expected to be tabled next week.
“It was a very positive meeting,” said Sullivan’s manager, Mario Tartak.

“Jayden’s excited about exploring his options and the Tigers made a good impression. He was blown away with their Centre of Excellence.”

Sullivan has almost certainly played his last game for the Red V. A hamstring issue has ended his season, the latest in a string of injury dramas that have limited the Wests Illawarra junior to just 27 games. The 21-year-old has shown glimpses of his potential during those appearances, although incoming Dragons coach Shane Flanagan is prepared to cut him loose. (SMH)

My only issue with everything is we might be making ourselves vulnerable by loading up on players from Tartaks stable. Just like Manly with Isaac Moses.

Many have said it, few can do it.
We get a win and that's enough of a taste to draw you back in. Next thing you know you're buying a cap.
