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

Don't know who that is 2 begin with bro lmao

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.

Coming back from injury he is getting more and more confident. Been one of our best all season imo.

32 years old. Hows he been playing of late?

Like a chook that has been in the oven for 4 hours.Frizell is Frazzled

Just googled him. Was living overseas at the time.
Said he wanted to play 4 tigers than signed with
Panthers only never to be seen or heard of smh

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.

Does 3 wooden spoons deserve the pom pom treatment?

Saw this and almost fell out of my chair, we could only dream

Cruel!!!

 

[stephen]

Not what we need , we need players who are ready to go and are an upgrade on our current lot , he is not very good

Any player, in any other team would be an upgrade. Only sort of joking.

Improves the club 1 per cent …at this rate they will be back to 9th by 2030..under the “right conditions “…

I'm starting to feel the excitement!!!

Strength and conditioning is the common problem through all our grades. Mistakes under fatigue, and we get physically dominated.

Have said this for years - we have not had anything since Steve Folkes was here and those 2 years we played our best football. We were tough and defended with a venom.
This is what we need to go back to just not sure we have the mindset to make these changes so they are ingrained in our DNA.

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.

Talking to Paseka's brother two months ago, it was solely money.

He still liked the Tigers, but Manly offered him unturndownable money at that point of his career.

There was no ill will apparently.

Wasn’t he coach when NZ beat Australia in a huge upset? Wasn’t he the guy that took NSW to victory after being down 1-0? If you think he won’t be on top of the list for the next club that sacks a coach you are delusional…

He's good with an elite playing group. If you were playing a word association game, your response would not be "Wests Tigers"

Weidler: Stef decision expected by Wednesday after meeting with Storm on weekend.

Must be the second meeting …he met them when they played them a couple of weeks back

 

[davey_farrell]

The Agents know this, Which is why the juniors will walk come contract time

Turuva left wing. Staines right wing next year. We need a new right centre

Both good players, but as a wing combo there doesn’t appear to be enough size or power in the yardage carries between them.

 

[Needaname]

The POM confirmed it apparently

The POM? Really, they are still around?

 

[Needaname]

Good mates with Benji

Benji doesn’t need mates, he needs mercenaries

 

[Needaname]

The unfortunate thing about Stef being offered an option to extend or being off contract end of 24 is we have nothing to bargin with other clubs looking to make space to sign him.
If he was signed up for 25 season, we might of been able to push the Storm for Xavier Coates given the rise of Anderson, Fa’longo and some extra cap room for Melbourne

If Hooper dribbler is correct and Stef heads to Storm , no problem as it gets it sorted out and gives us $ 800 k to play with , and don’t say he is a loss he has been just average over this season , not one game the whole season ,
he has been nothing , hence we are on the bottom, it’s not the end of the world but just maybe a chance to spend some cash on QUALITY players not slugs
