I was one of the staunchest believers from the get go that Luai would sign, even when everyone was on edge. How many times afterwards did I ever puff my chest out about it? I’m just reading the room. He’s conveyed no interest so far in staying on, his manager is a grub and we’ve been down this road before,

I’m not sure why you conflate thinking he won’t stay with hoping he doesn’t.

Not to sure he's already out the door yet, still think he's waiting to see how we go next year. Atm I don't think he wants to stay, but if the team improves as it should I think he will seriously reconsider.

Not a lot. Played different variations of poker though, Manila, 3 card Manila, Russian, 7 card stud, Ohamaha, and Texas. Not all at the casino, Nan used to run poker nights/weekends, but she would clear the table after dinner and we’d play all sorts of card and board games.

We haven’t even played a game yet. Our coach is under the pump. He has no breathing room for a bad start to the year. If we struggle, he’s gone. We are still very much a wait and see. If we find ourselves out of the bottom 4 and a decent chance at the finals at the hallway point of the year, that’s when I think you can start saying we are on the improve

They didn’t initially. It wasn’t until Alex McKinnon broke his neck that the spotlight got shone back onto Dwyer who said the club hadn’t done anything for him. Not long after that he miraculously had a role on the coaching staff.

Simon Dwyer never said "the club" -that is - , Wests Tigers, "hadn't done anything for him" He said the no-one from either the or NRL or RPLA contacted him after he had his career ending injury.

Simon's first role with Wests Tigers started in 2012 assembling clips and videos for Sheens two years before he even bothered to make that statement. Also in 2014, our club hosted a fundraising dinner for him at Wests Campbelltown which sold out and was a big success.

Nothing 'miraculous' about it.

Round 2 might gives us a bit of a pointer.

Let's hope we turn around that Spoon Bowl form, take the game seriously, and the only fun the boys have is when they point to the score board and laugh at the Parra-sites.

You're exactly right. I'm one of them, I can't help it. I wish it was different, but I have mixed feelings seeing him be so talented because I know he's absolutely stinging to play for the Eels some day. It was the same with Moses. Still shell-shocked and heartbroken from basically preparing two bespoke generational rep players for other clubs. He just feels like the next amazing talent to use us as his stepping stone.
 
Plenty of people outside the club thought we paid massive overs for Luai and it was the only reason he came to the club, now we are hearing that Dylan Brown wants in excess of a million. Now that’s what I do call overs, on his day he is a good footballer, but his form is up and down and I would never put him in the elite bracket. I bet if he signs for the Chooks for a million plus no one will be calling it overs

Ah, the mysterious " somebody". Fake news. Give it a rest. Some of you people need to get a life.

Anyone could make up that rumour at the moment and sound in the know. He grew up an eel. But they cut him.
Now if the Tigers did that to me I’d give them a second chance especially if coaching staff has changed. All depends how fanatical he was, (a fair bit), and how annoyed he is at being cut, but I think it cost him and his oldies some cash. If we start winning, he enjoys playing with JL and he’s loving life, we’re a chance.
Start losing again and he’ll be an eel if they jump through hoops dropping bags of cash.
