Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tucker]

Love it. Not a player swap. But 2 4 1. Where do I sign up for a Wests Tigers membership???

The fanbase has been so demoralised by so many years of failure that suggestions for player swaps etc have become embarrassing in their desperation.
Let’s give all our good forwards away so Luai can do nothing from the poor platforms set by Steph and co. 🤣
Off season sucks dog balls….

Reported by the mole (nobody)

Exactly...it is just the mole trying to stay relevant. He has no idea.

Big call OG I can see Sullivan being a utility
soon enough, he's got that spark. Or even
getting homesick again. He'll probably
start the season but Latu is the real deal

Latu is a great player. But if I had to pick one with Luai in the team I’d take Galvin. Luai was a Fulton signing and only the Tigers were after him no other club and was allowed by Manly to find another club. You put Galvin on the open market there would be a line of suitors. Penrith wanting him shows even the premiers with their long list of juniors coming through think of the kid that highly.

I’ve been told by the higher ups that it’s just people spreading rumors with agendas.

So I don’t think the swap is happening thank god

Are you the bloke that email's Pascoe?

Not having a crack genuine question.

 

[ROZELLE.O.G]

They’re the same age.

Fainu has played 9 games of NSW Cup and a Test match.

Galvin hasn’t even played Jersey Flegg yet.

Galvin played and captained Australian Schoolboys. Two great players, in my opinion I’d take Galvin every time. Only Tigers were after fainu manly allowed him to go elsewhere. Fact that panthers want Galvin with the amount of talent coming through speaks volumes of the potential of this kid

Tupou is only going to put on weight. He's already very skinny. As he fills out with age his frame will only get bigger. He's still a winger for now. Needs to get more involved and talk more if he wants to play centre

Tupou skinny? Now I'm convinced you don't watch games

 

[Todd Packer]

So Galvin probably only hits NRL halfway through '25.
It's not called Wests Tigers prison so he's free to sign for another club that November I think.
The other option is we sign Luai for '25 and the backflip stories start in February '24.

 

[Kelce68]

I wouldn't even give up Seyfarth. It's just BS games. Sign him for 25. If they want a swap no worries you can have heaps of players. Jayden Sullivan, Sione Fainu, Brandon Tumeth, Adam Doueihi, Asu Kepaoa, Jake Simpkin. David Nofoaluma and Aidan Sezer. They can have 3 of them.

I would definitely give up Seyfarth.

Twice.

Genuinely does. Everyone gets a bit loopy lol

Lucky we have them both bro, we will be
able to to get on a good gauge on it all...

I am 100% confident that most of the individual bad takes on social media from Wests Tigers "supporters" who allegedly watch all games are mainly from flogs who turn off the TV as soon as we are down by a try - or were barely paying attention at the pub/club because they don't have Fox/Kayo at home and otherwise primarily watch channel 9 games!

You're giving them too much credit.
Facebook fans check the score then join in the Facebook pile on.
If you did a survey 50% of them would think Benji still plays.

We couldn’t call ourselves a development club with a straight face if we let Galvin go.

On the other hand, if we sign Luai, will Galvin want out at some point in the future?

 

[Demps]

Heard on the Radio or some such the other day (Pod Maybe)....
That when the Panthers are losing players - They've been getting a wrap for putting out
fake stories and narratives... Been happening the last few years apparently.
There was mention the 1.4 number for Luai has been peddled by them (Fletcher Maybe?)

But yeah, Apparently they plant stories on the other clubs who're sniffing around their players as some sort of comeuppence or to inflate the numbers around the players they're certain to loose.
Only affects us this year (Round Luai) but are makin a name for themselves in that space...

Dirty tactics maybe - Or playing to win...
Who knows.

Grubs

Please don’t use the word great to describe kids. They have done nothing, they are still being educated in the game. Talented juniors I’ll cop.

 

[Demps]

I've not seen a lot of Galvin - But if I were picking one of the kids to partner Luai, He's my pick.

High cieling perhaps

Latu seems very similar to Luai

But I think Luai can switch his style up and play more like Nathan...

 

[Flippedy]

He’s never had any idea

Wherever he goes he’ll have to first learn from then outplay a senior player. Best way to develop.

What i can't get my head around is why the club has allowed Melbourne Storm to suggest to the club that we can take Olam of their hands but they want Galvin and one other Campbelltown junior + Bore. Now Penrith said in the press there happy for Laui to go this year but in return they will take Klemmer and Galvin off our hands.

West Tigers wake the F--k up and stop smelling the tinted roses b/s you have been feeding yourself for so long you have wanted top local juniors to stay and play for the tigers but you are about to start driving them away.

What exactly is the club meant to do?

 

[Bellend]

Galvin has the one thing you can't teach. time and vision go watch the young bloke train or play
and in 12 months time watch him start to grow as a footballer.
