Some clubs halves are ageing tho, souths.
Knights were interested in him before, and still looking for halves.
Call me crazy, but I’d give phins a call about him, dragons as well while you’re at it.
Him at wahs could promote more competition in the halves.
he wouldn’t be any clubs first phone call, but there’s reasons for clubs to want him

It’s like what I used to say about Nofoaluma. People bashed him, yet expected some club would come knocking for him. You can’t bag players all year and then be totally confused why we the club can’t offload them at the end of the season.

Yep, local junior too. If he wants to make a whole
career around rugby league his best move would
be to not activate his player option & find another
club with a clearer pathway. He hasn't made cup
this year, plus Sukkar has leapfrogged him, I don't
even like Tony that much but that's where it stands

If I was him I'd let us pay me out & chase the dream
elsewhere. Can't c him cracking 1st grade unfortunately
but I don't know shit, for all I know he's staying here

Kick sand in people's faces. He was serviceable in a talented team. But look at his performance in big games like the final and emotionallly big against us at Leichhardt. Brooks went to water, dropped balls, kicks out on the full, poor defensive reads. He wasn't any better this year than last. He just got carried by DCE and Turbo
One thing to also consider with all of this speculation is our $$$. With Stef not signing, Richo was stated saying he had roughly 2 mil to spend. Since then we signed Hunt, Bird & Skelton.
Let's say there a 1 mil there.
We pay out Tumeth. Another $200K or so.
Everyone else were already budgeted for. So that's $800K up our sleeve.
Sione, I would think be around $300K.
So pending if we payout/release anyone & don't get a cent back we have $500K up to spend.

Anthony Milford had a contract this year....
Anything is possible.
I reckon Bud would go OK at a Strong Club as a 5/8 - Only OK....
I never saw the love for him, Even after he chopped us up that day
Buchanan and Lovett. Why bring back the past. lol. Damm weve had some floggs go though our club. Who would you have in our worst 5 ever. Lovett was seriously the talking point with us, how he kept getting picked . Smh. Im not a fan of Twal but wouldnt be in my worst 5. and btw Mbye has to be in everyones list considering the money he was stealing every year.

I’m convinced people will still be arguing sgout Brooks 5 years after he’s dead.

Wests Tigers rookie, Jordan Miller, has engaged lawyers (Lee Hagipantelis) after he was breached and sacked by WT over claims he was late to training on numerous occasions. He claims the second incident there was extenuating circumstances and not his fault. Police are involved with no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Miller but he claims it prevented him from getting to training on time.

NRL 2024: Former chairman Lee Hagipantelis hired to represent sacked Wests Tigers rookie Jordan Miller against the club | Sunday Session
Wests Tigers’ major sponsor and former chairman Lee Hagipantelis has been hired to represent sacked rising star Jordan Miller against the NRL club.Brent Read and Michael Carayannis
The turbulent relationship between the Tigers and their former chairman Lee Hagipantelis has exploded once with the club’s outgoing major sponsor at the centre of legal action being undertaken against the club over the sacking of rising star Jordan Miller.
Hagipantelis’ firm Brydens Lawyers has taken on the case to represent Miller against the Tigers just days before he formally cuts ties as the club’s major sponsor, with that deal expiring at the end of this month.
Hagipantelis confirmed that Brydens Lawyers had taken on Miller’s case, but would not be drawn into the specifics of the matter.
It is understood that the 19-year-old is disputing the club’s reasoning for their intent to terminate his contract.
The matter is now expected to head to arbitration and could end up in the courtroom if it is not resolved.
Former Wests Tigers Chairman Lee Hagipantelis has been hired to represent a player against the club.
The Tigers will claim that Miller was late to a training session – for the second time – and was subsequently breached leading to his impending sacking.
However, the youngster will claim the most recent breach occurred because of extenuating circumstances relating to a personal nature.
Police are involved but there are no allegations of any wrongdoing by Miller aside from getting to training late. Despite the personal upheaval he still attended the session.
Miller made his NRL debut this year and played two games off the bench. He is contracted to the Tigers until the end of 2026 and represented Fiji in their Test against PNG last weekend.
The fact that Miller has chosen Hagipantelis to take on the matter adds another layer to the fractious relationship between the club’s former high profile chairman.
Jordan Miller made his NRL debut for the Wests Tigers in Round 15 2024, but faces being sacked after the Tigers claimed he was late to training. Picture: NRL Images.
Hagipantelis was dumped as chairman last December after a wide-ranging review and subsequently told the club he would not be renewing his major partnership deal.
Hagipantelis described the process that led to his departure as “despicable” in a letter The Sunday Telegraph obtained in May.
“The disgraceful events of 12 December last year impacted significantly and adversely on the relationship of Brydens Lawyers and Wests Tigers given the disrespectful way I, as chairman of Wests Tigers, was treated by the representatives of the club’s stakeholders,” Hagipantelis wrote.
“Recent events have compounded the concerns which I have held with respect to the continuing relationship of Brydens Lawyers and Wests Tigers.”
Hagipantelis wished coach Benji Marshall and the club well, but feared for it’s future.
“I have the philosophical difficulty of continuing in business with people in whom I repose no respect,” he said.
“I speak of the representatives of the stakeholders with whom I had the displeasure of serving on the Board.
“These persons are still engaged in the Club whether it be in a formal or informal capacity.
“I regard these people as cowards.”
Hagipantelis has not attended any Tigers home game this year nor any formal functions despite putting in seven figures to help fund the club.
The Tigers are yet to announce a new front of jersey sponsor

We might regret that one. Think he'll make a very good 13.

Every time you hear from Lee, he comes across more and more like a scorned lover. Bunny boiler vibes.
