Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I wouldn’t take Matterson for free these days.
Pearce-Paul would be very good, but I get the feeling he will price himself above what can be considered a fair & reasonable price.

Matterson has really declined aye. Not often players are at their best at the tigers.

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

Yep, two weeks in a row they have said Bula had appendix operation....

It was reported by media, it was Turuva.

Wonder where the truth is 😅

Voss reckons he spoke to Bula about it, so I'd believe Voss.

Not that, it's the way he left imo.

If you read this forum closely - like its your religion - where you wife and kids are 2nd best from March to September - October for some - the same will be said about Adam D. In perspective according to last night's game as per Matterson

Douehi can play but it's hard to have faith in him. Not sure what they will do with him.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

His team mates see it differently. As seen from last night's body language. Thats real.

 

[Savvy]

How was the vibe at the ground after the win.

Mate it was a trial but love the hill atmosphere… always great times

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

How much the night cost you - for the thrills of it all?

The simple fact is their is 0 incentive to upgrade Porter.

We have 29/30 players sure.. but we also released Bateman who we can count towards being our #30, just like we did last year with Nofa. Porter isn't going anywhere, he will be 29 years old when the season starts next year.

We will just keep him on a T&T because to be honest, the club won't just throw money around because they can. It's still a business.

Look at how thin we are:

2022 Wests Tigers NRL Telstra Premiership squad, Wests Tigers players, NSW Cup squad.

Second Row:
Tony Sukkar, Brandon Tumeth and Samuela are the only known second row options we have.
Sukkar looked good in the trial game, but boy is it early days.
Samuela Fainu is probably the only true first grade option we have.

Two newbie's + one prop who goes well in the second row. Keep Porter

Only 2nd row options we have- I stopped reading after that. With all due respect.

So what's your take?

We have hired a bunch of Props and way too many centers (although may need them with Naden, Olam and Turuva out).

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Good question. Thank you. You made me think. Distinguishing reality from football.

 

[Demps]

Jayden Sullivan running out for South's now.
Charity Shield.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

First kick out on the full. On our money.

Definitely Bula.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

What if Bula was instructed not to entertain the reporters with the truth? I mean. Do you trust everything you read? Are you a simpleton?

My pick for the spoon the dragons are looking far from it at the moment but it's a long season.

They're feeding the dragons.
Sullivan, woeful.

Love to see it, tbh

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Wonderful. The bigger question is do we have to take Sullivan back?

 

[gregjm87]

Yep. Him being woeful is bad news for us. If no one wants him next season we're contractually obliged to take him back at full pay.
