Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

More than agree with everything you have said, and said well.
Personally, I think debuting and as it has panned out, too much too soon for the kid. No one likes loosing, and we do it better than anybody. To mum and dad - he’s 18 and signed a legally binding contract, just like at the Optus shop for his mobile phone.

What i dont understand is the fact that its an 18yr old kid saying he wants out after a few games where he was gifted a starting spot from day one. I am involved in a boxing gym in the illawarra and have for over 30yrs. From my experience it would be the main pro and elder fighters that have been at other boxing gyms and seen how they operate that would be doing all the complaining ( Api for one, who came from Penrith) not some young fighter after a few fights. Doesnt add up and like him or hate him its not fair on Benji who has been his biggest supporter and admirer. Moses working his rubbish again. He tore the club apart before and i think this is where we see if Richo has turned this club around or not. Idk what benji does from here, if Moses keeps pushing the agenda. I certainly wouldnt feel all that exited putting all my time into a kid that doesnt want to be there and is very public abt it. Makes the place look like a joke, even if its under performing, although i always knew this year would not be that different considering the cattle and how year has panned out, its not up to an 18yr old making all the noises. Fullstop
 
IMO there is a big difference between Stephano's situation and Galvins
Stephano, once SOO no 3 is picked and he is not included and we arrive at the point where mathematically making the top 8 is impossible then he is a free agent .Hard to believe what idiots agreed to such clauses in the first place .Point is he is free to entertain offers and is not breaching any contract .
Galvin on the other hand signed a multi year deal and iis now with a inflated opinion of himself is wanting to renig on his deal . He is also talking too much maybe egged on by his agent and family .We just can't let everyone who wants to jump ship do so .
I don't quite understand why Ipaps was released to Penrith when he was contracted for 2025 without getting something back in return .
The best way of course to stop everyone jumping ship is to start winning .If we could win say 3 of next 5 games then most of these problems will stop .
Just how to do that with such a weak roster is beyond me .
Why on earth didn't Benji and Robbie and Morris realise that our NSW cup squad or in other words positions 18 -30 of our Roster where so sub standard before the season began ?

I’m assuming you don’t really compare what Richo will do with what Pascoe did ?

I don’t think he will keep him here a prisoner for two and a half years though either … comes a time when you have to try and flip him for something ….otherwise you just end up spiting yourself…

But set an example to Moses and company that a contract is a contract!
And to any other future dummy spitters.

New to the forum despite following for many years. I think you make a really good point regarding Bud WANTING to stay not like some of our other so called super stars. Im from Port Beach and good mates with the Sullivan family especially the old man who could probably still play a bit now, and i can guarantee you one thing Bud wont give up trying. Hes only a kid and was a super star as a Junior with plenty of skills. Something tells me hes going to be a handy player to have at the club, and im hoping its not me being a touch biased, plus talking talking to the young man he seems very committed proven a lot of people wrong and really enjoys being around the place.

This is a great post, showing a more human side to the player carnage going on.

I’m a bud supporter, but Benji and Richo want to move him on. They have their plans. I don’t know more than they do about footy.

I would prefer Bud to blossom and stay.

‘Twas the great Corey Thompson who declared that if Latrell Mitchell was intent on coming to the Tigers then

“Hes gotta get past me”

I felt warm and fuzzy at that.

I might be getting a little delirious with all these WT dramas but what about Ravalawa and Sivo on the flanks for a couple of years. Not having their best seasons but there will be a bit of a Fijian connection at the club in 2025 with Api, Bula and Suruva.

Would have won more than two games with that pair getting our sets rolling and scoring a few tries.

Brandon Smith would be an excellent addition if he did not come with problems. If Storm and Easts can not turn his fortunes around then no chance at WT. Sounds like a modern day Chris Sandow who's career was ruined by gambling.
Thanks but No thanks to Brandon Smith.

Not happy Ice is allowed to leave. With a better spine in 2025 Ice running in holes would be great. Should never let players like him leave. Idiots.

Ice replaced by big Sam F , no loss this kid will be a gun , saved money letting ice go , top up Sam and keep him long term , just need to add another strong big body, Hunt from sharks looks good

Liked the Richo podcast but 2 things he said a little alarming
- This round we have 10 out because of a couple more going down midweek
- Our Cup side this week everyone under 20 ? Hard to believe this !

We're going badly worse than i thought we would have been, i was expecting an incremental improvement. But being decimated by injury and suspension is getting brushed over in the media, if our best 13 was getting pumped week in week out it would be a bit more understandable.
But until we start winning there will be chirping in the background like always.
