Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Fact; Seyfarth has scored more tries than Sam Fainu. Runs better lines?

Seyfarth also finds himself ridiculously out of position at times. Ironically he stuffed up our attack about 2 plays before he scored last weekend.

Cos of injuries. Someone posted last night that once Marshall black balls you there is no going back. And that attitude certainly fits the way the TDS situation played out.

It's interesting having read the West Tigers website on TDS leaving the club only Richo wishing him the best for the future.

No comment at all from Benji, very frosty, makes you think there was a good chance that something has happened between the two of them.

Has Makasini asked for a release yet, or is that next year’s surprise

Wait till Dan Tupou announces his retirement, we haven’t had a junior defect to the Roosters as yet.

 

[Terry T.Nuts]

We will see how it plays out … they need a few wins and avoid the spoon IMO or there will be no cut through in the media that they have improved on the field..

If the players want to help Benji they really need to lift … I don’t know what happened last week … they weren’t interested and won’t beat anybody if they play like that… we have seen this before the last few years over the back third of the season… so that performance last week had definitely better be a one off …

What happened last week is what would happen to 90% of teams in the NRL if they had their halfback, fullback and hooker out of there team, but some will choose to ignore that and still say Benji can't coach and the team hasn't improved.

Yes they have, that's why they've signed his brother, Junior.

The @weststigers have handed a contract upgrade to young dummy-half Jared Haywood.

Set to join the club's dev list in 2026, he has been upgraded to a train-and-trial for the remainder of this season on a full-time basis @zerotackle

He trained with the first-grade squad today.

Its intentionally cryptic becauss nothing gets Moleys dopamine pumping like some clicks from the Tigers.

And Parra have just signed another 1st grade hooker.
Good luck TDS. Maybe depth at Parra, but on good $$$$ I suppose?

He'll be up against the incumbent hooker and will have to earn first grade.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Currently its just a reflection of where the season is at - grim.

Unfortunately the constructive and interesting comments are just getting drowned out at the moment by a couple of people posting the same things over and over.

A win tends to change things. Not sure where we get one though? Gold Coast at Leichhardt is shaping as "must win".

Surely there are more wins when we get our best side on the paddock and no injuries for a few games, we were playing better footy with our best side available.

The Wests Tigers have upgraded the contract of 18-year-old Jared Haywood — one of the best young dummy-halves in the game.

▪️ Overlooked by Penrith at Harold Matts trials
▪️ Now locked in until the end of 2028
▪️ Joins Tigers Top 30 in 2027
▪️ Captained SG Ball side
▪️ Australian Schoolboys rep
▪️ “It’s what you dream about as a six-year-old”

Same could be said about TDS but you'd think we'd lost the next Cameron smith the way everyone is carrying on

You have to have hope. That is why the club kept Tristan

 

[innsaneink]

Well I’ll put it to you this way, AJ has played for Queensland and his current form is no less than when he played for Queensland.
Bula qualifies to play for Qld from his Keebra Park days, do you think he’s been in Billy Slater’s selection discussions and do you think he will ever be selected to play for Queensland ?

 

[Lukic]

2 wins is probably enough to avoid the spoon. We really need to win the Gold Coast match.

Great news. Develop him until 2027 and then release him to play elsewhere.

Will be interesting to compare him to TDS in 27 & 28 to work out who we should have kept.

At this club those responsible will have likely been replaced & we will just be commencing our next rebuild off the back of the new 5 year plan

 

[Tiger Stripes]

have you actually seen lobb play ? he’s not first grade standard and not a fullback, just doing a job there while Luke’s been out

Scored 3 tries last week, and caught all the bombs. Good overall game.
Yet to see any other KOE players do that.

Ah the Mole. Great name for that bloke, an absolute malefactor and his media credentials are as questionable as a dog shitting pumpkin seeds.

Big Investigation ready to drop , the media just can’t get enough of us , I pick this - Wests Tigers Board will meet next week to discuss the nrl teams fall from competing to 6 losses it will also investigate weather the club should persist with both Benji as coach and Richo as CEO , both have failed to hold on to our young guns and have been unable to bring in help from nrl quality players with a shit tonne of money at their disposal , One director says we can’t give our salary cap away , nobody wants our cash, another director also said nobody likes us anymore , everyone use to come for big bucks to play footy , now no one , we even offered beers and pizza after the games , extra tape , red and green Cordial at half time , Jigsaw puzzles for the kids , Donuts and coffee for the wife’s , 3 bbq sausage sizzle after training with more beer , nothing , it’s horrible

 

[Tcat]

this will be fun

Investigate all they want. They are only going to realise the place is still same stinking shithole it's been for the past 10 years.

 

[liltiger]

Probably being 20 yrs old and on a contract of $500k and being told by the CEO that he is going to build a team around you might have something to do with

Your prob right Tom, no one really knows what was promised to him when he signed the contract he was on.
