Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

How can you actually sign any decent players if they never take our money? 😂

It would make him one of the highest paid players in the game and he is still considering Penrith.

Is the salary cap an effective way of distributing talent?

I think that could be a massive selling point, being the man to bring the tigers back as a finals team, could you imagine the plaudits that player receives, would go down in history and would become an automatic club legend.... yes plenty of pressure on the shoulders, but would be better then taking the easy road and going to someone like souffs who are there or there about, always close to being top 8...

Luai has the opportunity to come to the Wests Tigers to be the main man & a guiding presence for our young stars like Bula, Fainu, Galvin, Da Silva & co.

If I was him, I would be thinking of the legendary status he would receive if he led us to the promised land.

And with the likes of Api, Bula and a potential protege in Latu Fainu in the spine with him guided by his hero Benji, it is not impossible!

Yes he could go on to win 1 or 2 more premierships at the Panthers but he will always be remembered in Cleary's shadow.

Here he could become a king, earn lots more money & etch his name in folklore.

The only reason I recognise your name is cause you’re the poster who just comes on and casually hates on other posters for their opinions and tries to embrace this tough guy persona that doesn’t suit someone hiding behind a profile. You hate on the club constantly and put others down for what reason?

I work within the sporting industry and I’m not claiming to be Jesus. It’s not that hard to build some connections and hear some talk going around. Everyone knows everyone.

I send whatever I hear to try light this forum up and create some positive energy - mainly because of posters like you who try do the opposite. If you don’t enjoy some posts there’s a block option happy for you to look into that if you please. I understand some people get bored and they find enjoyment in putting others down - but get a hobby or something don’t bring that stuff into our beloved Wests Tigers Forum.

My thoughts as well BWG. Go 4 the road
less travelled & the glory. Set your family
up — or undercut yourself & be comfortable.
He's got it in him to be 'the man'. Let's see

That's what I see too. He'll never be a "Benji Marshall" while behind Cleary. But he may well be if he can rebuild the Tigers.

I think the squad we're assembling can do some serious damage.

Hopefully Benji has sold all this to him.
 
I actually think Luai will stay put at Riff on a three year deal for less coin. Close to home, familiar surroundings, old mates and a real chance of more silverware.

In saying that we give him the chance to get out of the Cleary shadow. What ever Riff do the media turn their praise to Cleary and seldom guys like Fisher Harris, Yeo and Luai get enough praise for their contributions as Junior Jaw is the NRL poster boy. If by some miracle he came and turned our joint around the media would turn him into a poster boy.

Be interesting how it pans out

Everyone is going hard on this kind of narrative. It’s easy for our supporters to see the positives in that because they are passionate about the joint. But he’s a born and bred Panther who probably has never wanted to play anywhere else. We’re a basket case and he has a lot to weigh up. I think how we run our club will be weighing more heavily on him than the fairytale idea of coming and taking the club from the outhouse to the penthouse. He has more important things to consider before that. In saying all that, I’m still confident. He’s probably looking at earning at least 600-700k more over the span of our contract as opposed to Penrith. That’s a big difference.

Would he though?
If you add in rep, finals and grandfinal winnings he might not be that far off.

SOO = 30k a match for example.
 
None of us know Luai and what might possibly motivate him …

However …I think it must be a tough to contemplate going from one of the most successful clubs in the history of the game to the complete opposite…

Interesting that the Panthers have decided to fight this time to keep him after they have let half a dozen other big names go over the past couple of years ….
