Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[batboy]

“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.”

They got that from here - 100%

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.

when his contract up again?

Should WT hire a former NRL gun Second Rower to come and train and educate our current Second Rowers and Locks plus up and coming Second Rowers and Locks as we have struggled with this position for ages.

Mate it’s our biggest hole by far. Your pack doesn’t get bullied if you have tear away second rower that is hard to tackle.

How many more rounds before we can call this season completely cooked?

As long as they’re mates with the coach should be all good…

on that point though - we’ve had kid halves coming through and not got them specialist coaching - ever!!
Doing the same with Bula now…

You would think Brett Hodgson would know a little something about being a fullback

 

[Batmans Parents]

I still think hiring Hodgson and Heighington were bad decisions. Hodgson accomplished nothing last time he was here and Chris’ only qualification, and I’m being generous with that term, is being Benji’s mate.

I’m sure he does, he did it for a long time.

I didn’t mention anything about being a fullback - I mentioned coaching one!!

Have you seen that coaching in Bulas positioning?

One thing Bula is doing now is directing the defense which is something he never used to do. I was sitting behind the goalposts on Monday and it surprised me to see him doing it.

Oh f me. We have finally developed our first grade fullback to communicate. Well done Hodgo.

I don’t follow QLD Cup, who are out ex players doing great up there now?

Was wondering where he was and what he was up to..

They scored 7 Tries,
Suggests he might have a ways to go there as well?
