Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Campbell Gillard available $ 750 current deal
Parra will move him on and drop us I would say $ 50 k so $ 700 for him is a way better deal than the offer for Stef
Hopgood is another I would chase , and Lane cheap would also be ok additions , , but the prop up top is where I would go

It doesn't concern you the new coach is a former prop and is happy for him to leave the Eels?

Keep Stryking out wanker!

Blaming Doueihi for our woes this year shows you up.
Your pathetic agenda won’t achieve anything.

Living rent free in your head.
I see you’ve made him very comfortable

You couldn't afford the rent - so I'm doing you a solid!

Say thanks Strykie...

No as he is better than any prop we have and it also looks like we can’t sign any other prop of quality , he’s better than the loose cannon from Canberra on offer and as good as Sifiiti at Newcastle so we need to replace Stef , he is way better than Stef

Jesus. Both of you need to grow up & stop acting like children.

There is some serious garbage on the last few pages. Should be a thread dedicated to it.

Hey people, just wanted to try and find out why and how we have become so , so bad. I have been following Balmain-Wests Tigers since i was 5....that's a long time ago 🙂 and i a, trying to remember if were have been this poor on and of the field before ??.
and unfortunately at the moment i for the life of me see any change in the coming years, i hope i am wrong but watching our club live a few times a year they look way of the pace.

No...

Ask Chris - and compare his game to Matamua or Kit who have had the inside run...

You know shit-all about the inner workings of the club!

Where were you since 2012?

It's a long story and didn't happen overnight....

I personally don’t think we have mate.
Incompetent coaching staff mixed with far too many inexperienced players - most who came through Western Suburbs pathways, in top grade mixed with mercenary senior players who are producing the bare minimum.
The joint is a shambles.
Luai is an idiot coming to us and I’m sure he is regretting it.

The good news is, we have seen signs of life from the young blokes on occasion. Just have to wait it out for a couple more years I’m afraid….

Luai is a winner and someone who backs himself!

Fastest player to 100 wins in the NRL era (from 122 games) - with a far superior winning ratio to Cleary when he has to play without Jarome!

Wests Magpies were far worse in 1998-99 under Tommy - but we'll just ignore that inconvenient truth!

If development means Playing them up a grade where they're getting lapped every week
- then yes, That's what's happening....

It's getting to the point where I think it can get worse, There's literally no one left to lead these boys, and teach them how to be an NRL Player.
We live in a disposable, here today gone late today world - Everything is immediate
(Especially with the younger generation)

I can't see anyone waiting it out....

This is Wests Tigers we are discussing you nonce.

No - it was Balmain/Wests Tigers as per the OP



But YOU as an old ex-Magpie supporter should remember 1998-99 right?

Willett and Faagutu are "playing up a grade" are they??

Both have Played cup, no?
Both before they're 20?
So the answer is yes

 

[tigers.]

Reagan Campbell Gillard given permission to talk to other clubs . What's people's thoughts on him ? I'm not totally against it if the tigers had a crack, pretty handy replacement for big stef

 

[Vicious]

Contribute to this topic, don’t be silly why would he do that ?
We don’t need any more recruits as Luai is coming to save us and we already have a fantastic coach.
I thought only Walt Disney believed in fairy tales.
