Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

My understanding we had room and offered a contract but he chose storm. If he was contracted for 25 here I don’t think he would of been swapped with olam

I saw Blore interviewed by Melbourne's media guy and there was the usual "opportunity to take my game to another level" crap as well as the "how much harder is the training drivel".
He's dead to me. (until he retires and becomes a Tigers old boy)

Seyfarth's never been unfit or overweight!

His problem has been that his rangy frame has sometimes resembled a clumsy long-limbed puppy still growing into its body.

He's a late developer in that sense - but when he does get his core strength right and a greater awareness of his centre of gravity he will be a high quality first grader!

Didn’t say he was.

The membership failed to arrive but Richo thanked me for my email and is considering my suggestions.

That includes the return of Ronnie somehow.

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Olam which I believe is a great outcome. Seyfarth played well when he was allowed to play to his strengths.

Judging from the article released the other day & training photos it seems like Olam is still currently injured… pretty worrying signs

I don't want him back after his best years are with another team

Fine - but you implied he was carrying extra weight...

Indeed!

So the club signed one long shot guy from rugby, once, a decade ago, presumably for almost no money... and because that didn't work out you think we should never even contemplate the idea again?

We signed this guy from Rugby Union.

I saw a story today, Olam is quoted as saying “THE TIGERS HAVE A LOT OF FAITH IN ME BECAUSE I WASN'T 100 PER CENT HEALTHY WHEN THEY TALKED TO ME. I WANT TO REPAY THEM AND GET BETTER SO I CAN GO OUT THERE AND COMPETE.”

I'm more worried about the fact we've bought 3 new halves to the club, Promoted a Junior Half to top 30....
and In all the photos I've seen, It still looks like Benji Marshall is the Wests Tigers main play maker.

I want to see his teeth.

Ongoing dental issues from his time at souffs?

Wrong again. Previous years he had be training as a middle/prop that’s what his body shape was aligning towards (or trying too) previous seasons, it’s clear this preseason he hasn’t which is reflected in his body size now is what I was implying.

I thought he broke his ankle scoring a try in the corner later in the match?

Douhie and Sezar will be gone next year. Galvin to 2nd row or lock.

Probably the same reason we chased Moses/Munster then signed Luai.

In poker it’s called a tell I believe.

No. I sell second hand mouthguards and want to give him a TPA.

We've heard that before

Ef This thread is kicking some old footy forum ass tonight. Wd ladies.

Big red does all the 1% and wont let the team down. He will do his job and if Pole is on the bench he will have more impact

If he wants a decent career in the NRL he needs a break out season like Corey Horsbrough. No point being a big ginger plodder. IMO Needs to take some some angry pills and get under the skin of opposing forwards. I’ve only seen it a handful of times.
