Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

How about looking at Isaiah Tass from South Sydney for our centres .. ?? He could be forced out of the Rabbitohs backline now that they have to fit Jack Wighton inot their side. He goes alright and wouldn't be as expensive as some of the others we have been associated with in the papers by the so called League experts .. !!

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

Well thats closed lol

Fulton ruined the sheens dream team.

Sheens ruined that himself with poor coaching and giving the club its second wooden spoon. Regardless of what everyone thinks of Fulton, he’s not responsible for us coming last.

[tigermate]

Go on then. Minimum 5 games played. Go... Tigermate will love it

Lol.

 

[earl]

Actually it's Haumole, Koula

If Fulton could get us these two I'd like him. Until that point though.

great player and would love him at WT. there has been whispers Wighton could play in the back row tho, so he may be kept at Souths. i doubt Tass’ future gets resolved in the next few months.

1.Anthony Xuereb - never played for WT
2.Lipini Kaufusi - equal to AJ (better try scoring records, bigger and faster, equally poor defence+hands)
3.Lee Murphy - no worse no better
4.Peni Tagive - no worse no better
5. Jordan Rankin - a much better player than AJ

1.Garth Wood - never played for WT
2.Hassan Saleh - equal to AJ, better try scoring record.
3.Mahe Fonua - seriously? wtf thats just stupid
4. Nick Bradley - again has a far superior record than AJ, definitely not worse.
5. Robert Jennings - limited player, probable equal to AJ

1.Shannon McDonnell - limited player who still had a solid career. AJ still has to beat him, but has time on his hands
2.Ahmad Bajouri - i'll give you this one
3.Justin Yeo - never played for WT
4.Asa Milford - never played for WT
5.Ian Herron - never played for WT

i think you're taking a laugh here.


for a player who's had so many opportunities he just hasn't improved from where he was when he joined us. to me he can play the first half of the season in nsw cup as a second rower. Only move him up if we're absolutely devestated with injuries in the back row. otherwise give him time to learn the new position. If he's doing well and dominating then maybe he gets a run off the bench. If not, straight to the UK for him.

He may not get us them. These players weren't established when they joined. But if he gets us the next versions of them that'll do as a bare minimum.

So now your changing the narrative? You said 5 games, now you talk about how many opportunities he has had. Which is it? I think you saw my list and realised AJ is no nowhere near our worst ever team, which is what the debate was. Being part of our current starting backline isn't the question here which you just tried to switch it to.

It's simple, AJ did not prove to be an NRL standard outside back last year, that I agree with. He did prove to show a glimpse of something as a backrower. And he has certainly proved to be better then all the players I listed, which elimates him from our worst ever team, which you and Tom claim he is a walk up start to.

I'm fine with that as well. I'll wait until I see it though.

You are off your tree. I clearly stated at the start Balmain, Magpies and Wests Tigers. Read first mate

Lees last input , after tonight’s meeting he could be gone , fingers crossed

Here’s hoping.

So AFB is looking to tour our facilities as well as Dogs and Dragons over the Xmas break.. What I find strange is apparently we are going to table him an offer and might be this week but clearly something doesn't add up as you would wait until he tours before offering a deal I would think.

He’d just be trying to get as much money as possible.

How can we afford AFB and Luai?

 

[Juice]

I don’t mind Fulton, he can clearly find talented players if he found guys like Koula and Fainu’s but he can’t be given credit for finding Haumole

 

[426Tlgerland]

Not sure how long Pole is locked in for but if it was me it would be for at least 4 years , he is going to be an absolute gun , lock him up big time , seems to be really enjoying footy , that’s when we should strike up a solid contract , not sure his worth in dollars but would love to hear what other think if he was ready to sign a deal for 3 or 4 years , me I’m in at $ 550 x 2 years then $ 600 , then $ 700 k.

Well given we don’t have a million dollar player I don’t see how we can’t afford both. We have 25 spots filled in our 30 for 25 but not one of them will be on a million dollars or more. Obviously if we sign Luai he’ll be the only one who is but we would still have decent coin to offer AFB.

Plans change. Glad we will put in an offer and not wait. Shows we are dead serious and keen

We can afford both. Given both are for 25 most our squad is off the books between 25-27 anyway. We don’t have anyone on 800k a season anymore and have cash to spend. Just means we don’t target a top line back.
