Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It's a very important announcement, Betsey is crucial to our success

Wests Tigers appoint Interim Head of Football

Wests Tigers has announced the appointment of Matthew Betsey as Interim Head of Football, as the 2024 NRL squad continues to assemble for pre-season training.

You were right. To be fair I much prefer this guy who I don't know at all compared to Mark "Pants Down" O'Neill.

At his best, clearly no one comes close. On his last performance he plays State Cup for us.

100% spot on. We need outside backs desperately and if he was in form he walks into one of those spots but it's a risky signing. Can we get him playing his best while he is on good dollars.

On the positive side I don't think he is Joey L. I had a mate on the coaching staff and he didn't like Joey L.

This guy in 2023 equals our best try scorers at 6 tries.

Justin Olam - Playing Career - RLP

A summary of the career stats for Justin Olam, a rugby league player who represented Papua New Guinea and PNG PM XIII, and also played for the Melbourne Storm and the Wests Tigers.

Olam is from Simbu Provence, we should sign him. That's the PNG Highlands and they are Strong as dudes there. Physically tough, strong dudes. Like "CARRY MY CAR " strong...

Melbourne a top 4 team who have guys like Warbrick coming through want to make room.
Do it. We see 1 off season and in that he equals our best in the back line (ok that ain't saying much).

Finally a reason to look forward to 2024

Let’s sign his brother, his mates, his butcher, his postman and his green grocer as they are all from there and must be really strong

The player we should be targetting is without a doubt Mark Nawaqanitawase.

He grew up playing in the Balmain junior leagues, his dad played for the Tigers. If he comes to the NRL and a club gets special dispensation to do so, he should only be allowed to come to us and Benji should be moving everything to make it happen!

I 1000% agree, but let's face it if its between us and the Roosters what do you think the outcome will be. Also, the Waratahs COE is near the Roosters so he probably already lives around the corner so not a huge change for him

But yes I would love to see him pull on the Tigers colours

I think Hunt playing outside The Jet could be the way forward.

Mike Hunt?

 

[The Chad]

You don't want Jimmy the Jet playing around there.

 

[Stevec]

If Benji can trade Blore to get Olam -its got my vote !
Is it likely ?

 

[Tom Shines]

again

Mike Hunt?

From all reports he is a lovely fellow as well. He'd fit in great with our squad.

 

[tony soprano]

Whatever happened to Logan Dillon? The hype around that kid is one of the reasons I can’t buy into any name that gets tossed around before they make their debut

Works at KFC.
