Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It's just incredibly disappointing. Roster management totally screwed up. We have practically no talent in the back row in every single grade. And one of our top 3 prospects that isn't playing NRL leaves.
Disgraceful when the likes of Sukkar and Tumeth are under contract. I have no doubt Zak will make it as a first grader. Not many players play all positions from 6-13, but he can, there's just something about him. He's not huge but he's a real competitor with a lot of skill. He even kicks goals.
For players yet to debut he's only behind Broederlow to me. We had better secured someone better if we're letting him go.

Don’t rate Sukkar? (I have only seen him in the pre season and thought he showed some promise)

We don’t seem to like players who can create or score points.

Pascoelike effort if it is just a jersey announcement! My 2 cents is that they will announce that we will be selling wooden spoons in a special 3-pack set with all funds going towards Stefano's new contract. The wood is organically grown and uses a diverse range of timbers including the ever popular buddha stick. Each Spoon is embossed with the For and Against Record as well as the phone number for LifeLine.

Yeah it's poor marketing and would be a massive let down if it is for the jersey. But I think it's heading that way. They should have just said "Jersey reveal tomorrow" if it is the case.

Hopefully it is something more!

I would love a day of social media like the Storm did last year or the year before. They spaced 5 re-signings of players out over the day. Even give us some of the higher recognised juniors and their contract status moving forward.

Something like that does not warrant a 24 hour teaser. It's something lame, that not many people care about, just another piece of merch to flog.

We've won 2 spoons in a row, about to win our third, and our major announcements are a one off jersey? That's embarrassing, an highly unprofessional social media strategy

He's like a smaller and less skilful version of Twal to me. And given his inability to standout in flegg or cup it appears that's about right.

People on here forget how Twal was a real force in the junior grades, u20s origin star etc. And he's still a solid plodder.

I’m not sure we completed a clean out of our media team when we swept the board through the organisation last November.
Long overdue.

Admin clearly unable to take the temperature in the fan base. Such a weird marketing approach

Sometimes I feel sorry for the Social Media team… they certainly cop the abuse … but if this is all it’s about then they deserve a kick up the bum …

I don’t even get any tease even for the best of news …this team needs to be passing on good news as soon as it’s too hand ..
 
Penrith just a couple of hours ago, released an announcement on their 25 home ground.
A video which features some scenic shots of parramatta with the serenity being interrupted by Hells Bells booming from the Parramatta Stadium speakers.
Very clever!

Without offending anyone it's all good to release a women In league jersey it's a great initiative, but if this is what it turns out to be I'll be livid. There is no reason to just not announce it, why have a teaser for it. We need signings or re-signings to pick up the fan bases spirit's abit not another jersey. It's just not a priority atm.

Whomever does the socials needs to be a WT fan, it's that simple.

Talintyre got it because he was a fan, he used the right amount of emotion and professionalism. Our socials are just dry corporate crap, whereas Dan understood what the fan base wanted and needed.

Externals just treat us like any other business customer, and not the long term suffering, painfilled supporters we are.
