Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

You need hope, not wrong there. It’s sad, cos the attitude you have deserves better than what you have been given. Fwiw, I’ll be happy once Charlie is announced. That’s a start right?

Staines inks new deal

Wests Tigers is delighted to announce that Charlie Staines has signed a new playing contract with the club ahead of the 2024 NRL season.

Its official, done and dusted. Good news. 🙂

There you go. GNR is happy. Hell’s frozen over.

All three Broncos - Farnworth (now Dolphins), Deine Mariner and Kotoni Staggs imo are all better than Best. I believe we can develop a few youngsters who could fill the role

I don't know how you can say that about Mariner. He's done nothing yet to warrant that call. I'd rather Best over Staggs. Staggs can be better but Best is way more consistent. Herbie is amazing

I had hoped we’d learned our lesson about signing 30+ year old outside backs to long term deals.

Appears not.

Who?

Bradman Best is set to ink a new deal at Newcastle worth around $2m on a mega contract extension

It is understood that the Knights have discussed a three-year upgrade that will keep Best there until the end of 2026 worth an estimated $700,000 a season. This means he will be earning less per season than the Tigers have offered him.

Nofo is on big dollars and he is going to be under pressure.

Nofa will be in reserve grade

He was always a long shot anyway.

People on this forum losing it over the thought of staines not re-signing shows how rubbish this team is. Lol.

He’s a fringe first grader.

Can’t believe we just gave him 2 years!

If no one wanted him why not just 1 year?

Typical tigers.

We have no depth at fullback
And two wingers on the books
Staines provides value in both these areas

Good business

 

[Magpie_Magic]

I get Noff has dropped.

But he'll still give a solid performance on the end of a decent backline that squares up the defence.

justin Olam 3 year deal ...signed and delivered .. !!

Was a swap with Blore involved?

“Good business” is not something people should throw around to a club coming off two wooden spoons with a rookie coach, a divisive management team and a joke of a CEO.

And certainly not resigning a fringe first grader. Lol.

Do you even know what we paid him?

He’s worth $250k per year. Give or take.

Yeah.

Im just super cynical until I see some improvement.

I feel like this year is tile last year.

Everyone was living in hope with Sheens.

And now everyone is living in hope with benji.

But I will say I do feel benji has the best possible chance of signing big name players… compared to last coaches since Ivan… but still man, we’ve got AJ, Seyfarth, a 33yr old half back, no genuine guns in the back line (Bula is no Latrell yet)…

When you look at every other team I don’t know which team we are better than. And if people say we are better than some teams it would be 50/50 at best.
