Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Trent Barrett apparently not in future plans for Jason Ryles which means he will obviously be shown the door. Reckon Richo gets him in here for a bit of experience or steer clear of him?

Stay away, he has the kiss of death wherever he’s been and if his old teammate Ryles punted him then it should be duly noted by us.

In addition to this post, can someone explain what Bula does as a fullback that Staines could not do better ?

I think you're the best qualified for this 😉

Frizell is a yes for me , 2 year deal only

33 years old, no thanks, another Klemmer.

Will be 33 and on the weekend missed 8 tackles and made 57 meters

Outta here...that's where..Bellyache already has the boat in his driveway waiting for him!

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

i think someone already said it
but sezer and the club have agreed to the
mutual option

Sullivan was digging in heels in thinking sezer wasnt going to be at the club, i expect he will
be gone in the offseason with us paying half his contract

I hope this is not true....Sezer can go now....we need that roster spot!

Keep To’a and I would give Staines one last crack playing NRL as a winger before pulling the plug on him, but it seems like Benji has written him off already.
The rest of them can’t help us be any better in 2025 so we might as well offload them ASAP.

Toa seems to spend most of his time on the injured list, let him go.

Unfortunately that’s not what the Coaches & Trainers see each day and that’s all that really counts. More importantly what are we going to do to build a better Culture and a supportive one so we can see a new West Tigers evolve. Any positive Suggestions or ideas?

Agree with the cultural aspect but those aforementioned
guys like Tumeth, Sukkar & Co were already locked
in. My suggestion is sit tight, I just want to get through
this year. Luai's arrival and the buzz it will create around
the club and players will change things, I'm positive

After watching NSW Cup just now, I could write an essay but I couldn't be bothered.

In both NRL & Cup, we are playing dumb, simple skills go out the window, we are regularly stripped for numbers on one or both edges, our heads drop with few leaders, we go for Hollywood plays in both attack & defence, we've lost the playing for eachother mentality, we are weak in contact and decisions continually go against us.

It is so apparent our youngsters (aged 18-21) are not getting the development they need in all aspects of the game. Our coaching & player development systems need to be fixed asap before we lose a generation of talent, many of whom at the moment are losing confidence & morale.

Yes we can go on about players lacking effort, having low IQ, making stupid mistakes, but atm we are not giving them every chance to succeed with our coaching & development systems.

I don't usually rant but today's effort in NSW Cup was laughable and it shouldn't be.

And these are the players Richo and benji want to bring throw into 1st grade , god help us

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

I share these exact same sentiments. Clarke was
a must keep and future 1st grader. Tumeth & Sukkar
haven't got shit on him. Terribly disappointing again.

People said the same thing when we lost Daniel Sykes to Penrith. Have you ever heard about him since?

Now we have these unrealistic expectations on Miller. Forwards take time to mature.

 

[colinbh]

Staines is an NRL winger and with Luai he will see more and better ball. I am unsure as to why Staines attracts so much enfilade fire as he is a genuine first grader who doesn't lack courage.

Because this forum is full of haters with no footy nous at all. I think some of them are from other clubs. No true supporter carries on like they do. Clowns.

Similar size to Miller, just all lean and athletic (albeit he had back issues when younger). Miller has the puppy fat that he absolutely needs to lose if we wants to have a first grade career.

We were always just so amateur as a club. Paseka wanted to move swiftly up the ranks, the club told him to wait his turn and develop in Flegg (fair enough to an extent, its the opposite approach to what we have now) and we just let our best young forward go to a rival, for nothing, because "if he doesn't want to be part of what we're building then we don't want him here". I'm pretty sure if he stayed another year he would have progressed quickly and been happy to stay. We just didn't have a football department that was effective aback then.

Even now there's no link, no synergy. Benji and the CEO forming the bulk of the football department, Betsey been moved from where he's best suited (pathways coordinator) and now we have zero coordination across our grades, no one watching our youngsters playing. We're still bloody amateurs and still coming last.
