Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Eternal Tiger]

We were worse this year than last. Untested halves and backs whp are still leaking points fir fun amd a coaching set up that hasnt achieves anything.

If we can avoid the spoon next year than its a win.

That's how peasant Clubs operate. Avoiding the Wooden Spoon is a sign of victory.

 

[Needaname]

NO

Just NO.

We do not come 17th and have someone say "Twal would be in the top 10 defensive Middles".

No, nope nada. While our middle defense is better then it was last year, it is still not first grade. Yes our wing/edge defense has gotten even worse then last year.

I like Twal, no he is not a top 10 defensive middle. Even with Klemmer, Paps, Bateman and co our middle defense is still not up to scratch and all those players are not playing at their peak standard.

I would re-sign twal, no delusions though.

News flash. Edge defence or should I say edge deficiencies start from the middle and one of the big contributors is having a lack of agile middles. With Klemmer, Stef and Twal all being very similar defensively it’s obvious we need to introduce some variety into our pack.

Jordan Kahu was the Keebra grad who reneged on his contract

 

[DUCK]

Seyfarth is staying at tigers.

WHY?

 

[crazycat]

Keppie offers so much more. If Twal was to stay he would be coming off the bench. If Keppie fills that spot that gives Tigers a lot more punch off the bench.
When was the last time the Tigers had a big bopper who bends the line

BJ Leulia?

I think you have pinned the reason why Bateman does so well on the edge rather then the middle.

We have juniors coming up who could help solve that problem. Last year our pack just got walked on. We don't get walked on, we get outscored.

 

[TigerSJ]

If it’s about shortage of spots in the top 30 then there are at least 6 players in our 30 who will never play NRL at any reasonable standard so I’d rather lose them before Twal.
We let him go and we struggle to find a better replacement- the way up is replacing deadwood for starting 17 NRL players, not the other way around.

 

[tiger_one]

I think the Twal issue is the amount of $$$ we pay.

 

[Demps]

Not exactly, he played for Kareba high and signed to play with us and than backed out of the contract

That was Jordan Kahu.

Seve wore our jersey in 20s.
Then signed with Broncos eventually.

Yes, I saw Seve score some spectacular tries for us in the U/20s.

 

[Demps]

Yeah, he was solid.

Probably didn't kick on as quick as many would like.

 

[426Tlgerland]

He did

Wests Tigers release Marion Seve

Wests Tigers can confirm the release of Marion Seve from the final year of his playing contract.

www.weststigers.com.au

Name rings bells , did he get a run in the top grade

 

[426Tlgerland]

Bring Seve Home , he looked better than a few we have , go ok next to Toa

 

[bptiger 0]

Not exactly, he played for Kareba high and signed to play with us and than backed out of the contract

Wrong he did play for us before pulling out

 

[Demps]

Name rings bells , did he get a run in the top grade

Nope, left for Broncos.
Didn't play first grade there either, only Q cup.

Made his first grade debut at Melbourne.

The point is saving $400k! What's not to get?!

You could save more getting players from the park. It doesn't help when they are garbage.

Are you going to apply for the vacant CEO job?

 

[hank37w]

It is really refreshing to see some loyalty!

Rumour was that earlier on this season or end of last he knocked back a 3 year deal with the Warriors.

 

[TonyTiger]

WHY?

Because the Bulldogs take their unwanted for a long drive and drive back empty. We put ours out for a wee on a freezing winter’s night and if they come scratching at the back door we let them back in.
We are the RSPCA of NRL

 

[Harvey]

Seyfarth is on his way to becoming the next Luke Brooks but the forward version. Local junior who has shown glimpses of being a good first grader, but overall a very underwhelming player.

Don't forget his stunning junior rep career

 

[earl]

Both Olam and Momo way better than anything we have

I'd much prefer To'a and Tupou.
