Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[earl]

I agree. There's less in fighting in regards to recruitment. There signings have been outstanding, now they have added Connor Treacey to 2024 team. Here's hoping we start making in roads in our recruitment and start signing a few better players. I know we have to spend extra but lets hope we spend wisely.

I don't know how they will go but it'll be interesting. I feel our squad is improving slowly but we made some big leaps last season. The issue with us is getting players to perform consistently to the level they are capable of. Players like Klemmer, IP and Bateman are guys that need to perform better more consistently.

but we made some big leaps last season.

Come on dude, we won 4 games and finished even lower than the year before

Nat Butcher re signs with Rorters 3 years on $ 250 k on the books 😁 but when he leave that will free up $ 950 k per year , sound about right.

Anyone know what this rumour about Justin Olam is that Peter Peters refers to in his latest segment on Sunday. Go to about 7 mins in this podcast.

Sounds like Olam allegedly did something at the Storm mid-season that put a few people in the Storm off him.

Plus Peters goes on his weekly Benji tirade!

You have to be careful when quoting because quoting like you just did changes the context of the post.

So in relation to our squad I think we recruited really well last year. Api (who was a top performer), Klemmer, IP and Bateman (who in my opinion all underperformed).

I also think Stef underperformed and he would be one of our highly paid players.

Doueihi is another highly paid but massively underperforming player but I don't hold much if any hope that he comes good. I think at best he plays centre and gets his contract halved and that is at best. I am not though expecting him to improve. I'm not expecting anything from him next year. If he does perform it'll be a bonus.

I've always thought it's a big downside to the forum that you can quote like that. I've seen many posters pick one line out of a post and it definitely changes the perspective of what was originally said. Poor form to quote like that IMO.

all Wests tigers supported, administration and coaches “please don’t talk about recruitment to media”

Lee Hag on radio today: I will not be talking about retention other than to say that we are looking at Jerome Luai, he is a quality player, and yes you can assume we have made in offer.

Lol

We'd be hard pressed to field a full team with that bar to clear...just saying

How was family dinner with him on the weekend?

Telegraph reporting were considering offloading Nofo 🙏

100% especially when they are getting paid what they are. I get nervous when the money they are talking about Luai getting, it could be the beginning of major drama for us if he doesnt fire and its an each way bet he will.

 

[Telltails]

Taffe, Curran and Salmon are not close to being walk up starts for NRL at the Tigers!
[/QUOTE]
Based on the output of the squad this season I beg to differ.

Benji needs to stay out of recruitment.

In summary looking like to miss out

- luai
-AFB
- Johnson
- best
- Mitch Moses



The evidence is damaging. There would be no excuses for fulton if benji did not get involved.

Judging by that i think it would be almost official that we won't be getting him now

You believe Zorba too??

 

[supercoach]

I would love to see Luai sign but if we miss him so be it. What I don’t want to see is another negotiation that drags on for months like the Moses debacle. The perfect scenario would be a yes or a no before mid December or earlier so the club can look at option B if it’s a no.
Thats if there is a option B

That guy is an absolute moron.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

You haven't seen much of the Tigers and Magpies over the years if you think he is one of the worst. He would have walked into the starting lineup of many Balmain, Magpies and Wests Tigers teams over the years.

Lipina Kaufusi as a winger takes the cake as the worst ba k fir wests tigers
Also known as Jackson Kaufusi or Makasini Richter
played for wests tigers 2001 - 2002
Makes AJ look like Reg Gasnier

Everyone knows we're chasing a marquee
in the form of Luai. We are keeping shit
in house with everyone else though...
