Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[jadtiger]

I can understand why Sheens referred to Bateman as the “domino he wanted to fall”. He‘s a pigheaded uncompromising pommy who could have ignited something in our depressed players. He may just do that in 24?

His first few games were all effort but as the year went by he became very inefective imho,like most of our players he needs to do better especially since he is one of our highest paid players

Let's hope so. I thought he would be a dud, I then thought he was pretty good for a little bit but by the end of the season I thought my initial thoughts were correct.

He was a very risky signing. Let's hope his performances improve a lot.

You did a reverse Kamahl?

Not sure, what the issues were this year's but signs are not good

I wonder if it could have something to do with the club’s disgraceful treatment of his coach?

The way he was fumbling the ball he could have eyesight issues?

Lee might even start bringing Nofo along to the boozy Journo lunches to really start giving the fans the middle finger

At least someone has recognised Nofo needs to pull his finger out.

Swap Nofa & Addo-Carr???

Addo-Carr's future in doubt after 'dramatic' week

Star in strife after brawl, Instagram post

wwos.nine.com.au

I'd take that risk

Although unlikely, JAC is a Tartak client and if Bulldogs do want to move him in, they may see value in an experienced Nofa if we chip in a little. Yes probably delusional lol

They'd probably want Twal for JAC. They need to bolster their pack. Should we do that swap ?

You couldn’t watch footy with the Bateman haters, you’d have to put them on mute.

Our halves combinations were changing weekly and bordering on embarrassing. That upsets team harmony and other’s performances. Put Bateman in a competitive team and he’s a winner.

The coach that requested a release and got it?

Following in the footsteps of Tedesco, Moses, Woods, Matterson, Aloiai, et al.

Maybe interview them for the review, bet they can tell you where the fish rots from.

Love Benny Elias,
I apologised on behalf of Wests Tigers....

He literally, Has Nothing to do with the Club...
I barely see him anywhere near the joint - Seen him everywhere when he bought the Leagues Club.

He doesn't apologise for me.....
I'll apologise to Sheens, When he apologises to me for the crap his team dished up.

Played for his country and one of our two foundation clubs. Sticking up for a four time premiership winning coach. Benny might be a rambling idiot but he’s done a million times more in the game than the drop kicks who run WT.

People are losing sight of how bad our situation is.

A bang average bench front rower for a NSW/Australian player… yeah I don’t think doggies will bite on this lol 😂

Can we trade Tristan Reilly for Burton too?!

Please mate, the ship was sinking well before that.

The issue was appointing him him in the first place. Lets be clear.

 

[BAGNF05]

The only part of the above with any relevance the 'rambling idiot' bit
And I concur whole heartedly....

What's his resume got to do with apologising 'on behalf' of an organisation he's had very little to do with
since he pilfered on of the Leagues Clubs?

He can speak for me because he’s actually done something in our colours to be proud of. All our admin do is knife good people.

Josh Addo-Carr will sit down with Bulldogs officials on Friday in a meeting that could have dramatic implications for the star winger's future.

Rumours are swirling throughout the game that 'The Foxx' wants out of Belmore after a dramatic week in which he was suspended from the Australian team and forced to apologise for a social media post concerning the crisis in the Middle East.

Addo-Carr and his management will meet with Bulldogs football boss Phil Gould to sort out where the tryscoring ace stands.

Sources close to Addo-Carr say he isn't happy with the level of support given to him after he was suspended for two matches after video emerged of him punching a man during the Koori Knockout.

The Bulldogs, for their part, are said to be unhappy with Addo-Carr's behaviour at the Knockout and his social media post on the Israel-Palestine conflict.

The star winger put a photo on Instagram of the Palestinian and Aboriginal flags with the caption "One struggle, one fight".

The following day he did a backflip - no doubt at the request of Bulldogs and NRL officials, stating he wanted to apologise "for any offence I have caused due to my recent social media post".

"As a proud First Nations man, I saw a message of support against displacement and land rights, and I shared this without full consideration to, or understanding of, the current events happening overseas," he added.

On the field, The Foxx has been a success in his two seasons at Canterbury after five years in Melbourne.

In a struggling side, he still managed to score 16 tries last year and 11 tries in 2023.

But he came to the club on big dollars and the Bulldogs would be able to use that money on players closer to the middle of the park if he left with two years remaining on his contract.

Several rival NRL clubs are certain to be interested in the speedy winger - if he cannot resolve his issues with the Bulldogs on Friday. (DT)

Released by Melbourne and now potential ly the Bulldogs. No doubt he is a star when his mindset is right but he’s starting to get jet vibes.

The coach that requested a release and got it?

He never got any fresh air, He was being hounded out of the club. Then they got Dorahy in, who was at the centre of his first dismissal, when he continually complained about Sheens wanting his players in the one team. Of course, that team was Balmain and Dorahy was the Magpies coach. Sheens was hounded into submission. In essence, those boffins running the club sacked him. They're doing a fine job aren't they?
