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?

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

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

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

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.

Know how you feel, Which colour are you?

You got me!

Well played sir!

EXCEPT in the context that Kit and Matamua have been "fast-tracked" to NRL while Chris has played more Flegg and RMC for the Hawks..

Navren is a younger age group - but already a far better prospect than the likes of Lobb - and meanwhile Luke Laulilii debuted a week after turning 18...

You have no perspective or grasp of nuance!

Always been a fan of his. I'd be keen, but for no more than 2 years.

He has a go and holds his own. All you can ask for.

The Bateman situation for next year is still confusing.

His latest statements sound relatively positive about returning.

IF HE DOES RETURN- he's on the books, so where do you play him? I think it has to be #13. If we can't move Bateman on, I think the club should try to add a dynamic back rower like Sam Fainu (like Fainu- I didn't say same quality etc). I'm noticing teams getting bigger metres out of wide running forwards than middles. Also, having that dynamic threat running off Galvin & Luai on the edges makes our shifts quite dangerous. Ideally- a guy that likes running the inside angle.

Shaun lane , same build as samual , but has a great off load , he would be great for us

 

[hsvjones]

I wonder when these resignings will be announced 🤔
I am hoping it's Pole but will be let down like normal so not getting excited.

He would be 30 by the time he arrives which means we will be paying him superannuation for his retirement.

I can remember plenty of games since 1908, some good some bad. Why 98/99? How about 1963 when Wests won 3 out of 4 against St.George. Lost the grand final under dodgy circumstances. Won the Amco Cup. Etc.

Then Manly bought most of our players, Newtown pinched Tommy. Curtains.
If you want to talk about a club in trouble, let's talk about Parramatta.

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

Pole is one of the outstanding young props in the NRL. Richardson does his negs behind closed doors so we have no information about which players the club is speaking with at present. Matt Croker from the Knights' is a very good ball player and one I'd like the club to sign. Jess Colquhoun from the Sharks is another good young prop but getting him away from Fitzgibbon would be difficult.

Johannssen is one of them obviously, and Sione Fainu will definitely be another. it’s just whether there’s any others we don’t know about.

Never. No one's coming and Richo doesn't know how to tell us. ✌️
