Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Honestly it's quite deflating atm. It seems like everytime we make a bit of progress & see a bit of hope as fans something always comes to shut it all down. I feel like the media, players & agents will never give the Wests Tigers the chance of being successful.

Deflating is the right word. I felt an all too familiar flatness after last nights game. I know there's been progress but it feels like a lot of damage has been done in the last week and watching the players lose their heads, make poor decisions and give away poor penalties made me question just how much damage has been done.

Tigers cannot get the rub of the green, I honestly believe there is an agenda against the tigers.

I’m usually enthusiastic until there is a particular turning point in the season that pretty much draws out our fate.
Gotta give Benji some credit to making it through a third of a season before I lost that hope. Pretty much in line with where our season turned last year though.

I actually enjoyed seeing Buzz call Reed Moses’ mouthpiece. Doesn’t get much worse than that 😂

I thought I’d heard that Reed was a mate of Richo. If true I wonder what’s happened for the 180

That's the thing. It's Bennett. Not Marshall. 2 different types of coaches/mentors.

Asu Kepaoa now making over 200m in most of his games for the Panthers NSW Cup team, he was rarely cracking 100m and very unmotivated while he was here.
That’s just one example, plenty of our poorly performed lower graders now going great up in the Qld Cup, we clearly have a player development problem.

The big difference i have noticed in the last 15 months lack of skills and development,Poor lower grade coaching starting at KOE.

I think a lot of the Tigers strategy is based on that old slogan ‘if you build it, they will come’. Hence the over the top enthusiasm for a COE that would transform all our issues at once.
Still yet to see anything at present from our invested time and effort into our pathways.
Mind you this was established under Maguire whom had a whole of club focus before our great leaders ushered in Sheens as the second coming to change things all over again.

Or maybe the players around them

Maybe. Perhaps this is his last chance and he’s pulled his finger out.

Or maybe the system around him.

Don't worry Girls and Boys,
We are only really one more loss away from the spoon territory again, and I think Sharky's will give it to us this week.

GEE,
WE COULD END UP LIKE PENRITH,
4 IN A ROW.

“The club can confirm that the reports published last night (21st April 2025) by The Sydney Morning Herald naming two Wests Tigers Players were not correct.

Neither player has ever made a complaint to the club or the RLPA.

This was confirmed by both the players and the RLPA this morning.

The story is simply not true.

We felt it was important to clarify this, as the report has caused unnecessary stress and hurt to the players and their families.”

 

[Juice]

Can those Journo’s get taken to court for just making stuff up like that?

 

[Telltails]

So who wrote that BS and who fed it to them?

Well this is going to blow back badly on tick head Moses, great move by Richo to put this out there could swing opinion back in our favour and put the NRL spotlight back on the grub.

Great question. Now if its mainstream media No - they are not liable - because mainstream is the gospel - social media however different story. Can be seen as bullying. Anyone is fair game.

Moses clearly the instigator..all part of the grand plan

Thats a disgrace, these "journos", whatever that even means these days, think they are bigger than the game.
