Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Parra getting smashed and get to bounce back against WT at home.

It’s round 1 and no one wants to panic but we will be under massive pressure if we go 0-2.

U could say the same thing about a dozen clubs. E.g. Cocks with May, Newcastle and Klemmer, etc. That’s just normal these days. Our bigger issues were the way we treated club legends like Farah and Bunji.

We're those instances the clubs in question waited til a couple of weeks before the season starts?
Klem is lucky the molo situation eventuated otherwise he's playing in front of 200 at
Lidcombe

Wow
All this after his first game in a new team,
I might give him a bit more time before coming to a conclusion.

Raiders panthers round 24. Intercept try when team is in front. Same as this round. This will be a recurring issue. He's a million dollar man. Hasn't proved it yet

If you've paid for Bar then watch the SG Ball Tigers every week. They are sensational.

That's good to hear

Definitely a worry mate

Lomax a good judge.

Does the Dragons have a Centre or Second Rower we can swap for Klemmer.

What you have only seen these errors in his game and never any positive moves to set up try’s for teammates.
Give him time,
It’s not his fault how much he gets paid, we were after a half and he was available.

Ok downloaded Bar TV and watched KOE to see Fainu. ln a well beaten team, I don’t see what people are saying about Latu in the KOE game against Newcastle. He looked classy with ball in hand, kicked well. Played a traditional 7 role. The 6 was very energetic. Latu didn’t have many if any opportunities close their line. Gave away a penalty mid second half when they were getting steamrolled. I thought he was fine if not good

Great post. Latu is a class act and a rare talent.

'Top tier cap'?

Theres one cap. Space is space. Diversifying the use of where the cap is spent by position is part of the process of rebalancing. As is discretional use of strategic or long term focussed upgrades to kids in the plans.


As much as we can get to sign the best that we can get in the positions we need as soon as we can.

More money means greater buying power and readiness. It's that simple.

But you know that's the answer I suspect and rather, you just don't think they should be doing it. Am I right?

Not at all - just a bit over all the happy clappers here parading around with their chest out every time we free up some cap space - for no apparent reason…

I’m asking what we’re doing with it - because I don’t see anything of note…
And nothing suggested here either

Lol it's bleak Richo is really needing to work his magic.

 

[batboy]

You're a gold medal winning pisser and moaner. How about solutions?

Who you wanna sign "batboy"?

Let us all know so we can bask in the genius.

You’re the super coach man - I’m just running water.
Like I said in a previous post - we’ve feed up plenty of cap and done nothing with it so far. Didn’t we have half a million to start the season - another half a million between bud and Bateman…
How much more do we need was the question!!

 

[user118245]

With Klem and Olam going, that would free at least 1.25mil in the cap for this year and next

Some decent money to play with

Say Taylan gets 500k, could probably pick up another decent fwd

Convince Herbie to hear us out plea$$$$$$e

Define 'anything of note'.

That seems to be where the debate is here.

Richardson negotiates in private. Luai, Turuva, May, Skelton is proof this is a good policy. The few on this forum who know won't tell because it may compromise negotiations.

Put yourself out there...

Or do you just sit here picking others opinions apart without any of your own?

The money is there. Tell us who to signed, so we all know what to do. You come across as perpetually miserable. What would make you happy?

You should know by now that we rarely (never) get anything in return.

They're shopping Michael Molo.
Francis' brother.

The release imo is to free up a top 30 position and also more salary cap room. The WTs' war room perhaps has 5 eyes intelligence that clubs may be over the cap and good players may be available.

What's to be happy about?
I'm yet to meet a Truly happy Wests Tigers - for more than a decade, And rightly so.

What purpose would speculating on impossible signings with zero reality serve?
I'll leave that to the Supercoach gamers.

But if you want names from me to help you sleep at night,
I'd like to kick off with Haumole, Katoa, Herbie, Lomax and Mulitalo

If you need my list of top spots wasted in our top 30 - It's been posted here plenty.

EDIT
But I also would have signed experienced coaches to begin with - What do I know though....
