Look you are correct but Novemebr next year is pre season not next season.

Yeah Roosters did have the fortune of having the deal arranged a month ago. If Api didn’t suffer a head knock after the ink had already dried up on TDS release we wouldn’t be talking about it.

So we assumed Api would never miss a game with no plan B? We made the same mistake with Klemmer. When Pole was injured we had Charlie Murray playing prop in first grade.
It's more that we're just weakening ourselves for THIS season. We've given up.
Be surprised if anyone wants to keep TDS for that money, would have been nice to keep him developing before having to offer any upgrades. But if that's what he is being offered, good luck to him... AT THE END 25.
But, whatever.
Well we also had Twal out but at the same time Royce had been dropped to NSW cup. Would we be keeping Klem in reserve grade for just the 1 game. Respect goes both ways sometimes.
The difference is Api is still playing good football and the other 2 are just going through the motions,proving that he has the right motivation and it not just a job for him.

Api is a great footballer and has been one of our best acquisitions. I feel for him that he has been dragged into this matter.

Can't believe people are missing Klemmer. Am I reading this correctly? Sure his performances were serviceable, but he was on $800K/year. That's marquee money for a prop. Not once in his time here did he have a standout performance. Every game was 40-50 minutes, 90-110m run, 25-30 tackles at 95%, and none of it was particularly high quality. You get the same performance from Twal at far less of a cost.

I'm sure he would have played more than 1 game, particularly when Royce was dropped. That's why you have a top 30 squad.
Warriors have Bunty Afoa in NSW Cup, Rooster have Townsend there, St George have Lachlan Illias. Depth isn't a bad thing and our lack of it is a big reason why we suck in all grades and in both genders.

If this was being done in November there wouldn't be half the outrage but doing it before June 30 & letting go of another player mid season while getting nothing in return it's just amateur hour yet again. How many times is the club just gonna write off another season before it finishes? how many times are we gonna get drip fed a headline of the club clearing cap space & building a war chest? Tallyn as far as we know wasn't angling for a release nor was he disrupting the playing group so what benefit do the Wests Tigers get from releasing yet another player early for nothing? especially after seeing Api will now miss Sundays game & who knows what if his concussion systems linger do you really think Tristian Hope is good enough to be a backup NRL 9?

We have to release him first.
Gotta be better than the 600k we're giving Royce Hunt
to play 30 minutes in Reserve Grade?

It’s why we are the worst run sporting organisation in the country. Accomplished figures in the game sign with us and lose all their brain cells. Like in the Wizard of Oz with the poppy field making you sleepy. There’s something in the walls of our club that makes people stupid.

Two weeks ago we have Penrith a red hot crack. Seriously get another hobbie.

That’s your argument? Sheesh.
That was our grand final
Put our all into that match and we still lost, nothing to be proud of there

Your continuous swipes at the club do get tiresome, if you dislike them so much why put yourself through the pain.
