Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

What a waste of talent he was. Api probably thanks him for coming on though because without him he'd probably still be at Manly and two premiership rings lighter.

What sort of Mormon takes a knife to a church disco?

One who's heading over there to stab someone be my guess...

 

[batboy]

Do people who don’t admit to what they did deserve second chances? Would you have even bothered with that essay, talking him up if his last name wasn’t Fainu? Would you even care about his second chance?

One would think...

Like,
To 'Deserve' a second chance - wouldn't you have to be (or say) Sorry?

So at this stage, Reuben Garrick & Tommy Talau are their 1st choice wingers!

For now, it's the Chooks. They will probably end up signing Joey Manu for a year before signing someone else

I don't understand why any club would want to build a team around two families. It makes absolutely no sense.

We have three Fainus (possibly four if Manase gets signed) and maybe three Mays in the squad.

If they don't get their way, they'll hold the club to ransom. If they leave, we'll be absolutely screwed.

This is the stupidest recruitment strategy and logic I've ever seen from this club.

Never heard of the Mortimer and Hughes brothers at Canterbury?
Seemed to work pretty good.

I believe Manu is contracted next season in French Rugby still but that season finishes early so he could be a late June 30 signing for a club before heading up to PNG.

No shit.

Obviously not really men of faith if they're looking to have knife fights in the carpark.

You're living in the past. Go back and read the thread.

If you want to compare the Mortimer and Hughes families to the Fainu and May families, you're dreaming. They won three premierships.

Since the Fainu and May families have been at our club, we have come -

2024: (Last place / wooden spoon)
2025: 13th
2026: 15th

That’s when they were known as the entertainers.
Warren Ryan changed all of that.

U can forget Taylan coming he just resigned to stay in super league

You are confusing Taylan with Tyrone 😛

Here's a thought B, the devil made him do it.

It's Tyrone not Taylan, and that's a relief.

No, not Accor Stadium, hold it at Allianz.

There won't be as many empty seats (TV optics are crucial for sponsors, gaining new fans etc), the atmosphere would be better & there's more to do closer to the City & Eastern suburbs than there is in Homebush & surrounds before & or after the game 😉

But the parking is way better at accor, and the west tigers have a better winning percentage there, plus more bathrooms , if theres a empty seat, it means I can sit closure to the oval.

You are the king of oversimplifying things on here. Correlation does not equal causation. The Fainus and Mays don't really rate in the top 100 problems our clubs has.

It’s Wests, not West.

Haha bit like me on my old Saturday nights

Where they finished and where we finished is not the point.

They’re on the field, so they are part of it. However, I agree that in a list of 100 problems with our club, they only make the bottom 13.

The reality is results matter.

What? The point is winning. That is why we play the game.

I don't understand why so many supporters give our team a 'get out of jail' card after getting flogged every season.

We haven't made the top eight since 2011. We have the longest finals drought of any NRL club.

Yep - to be honest though, Tedesco will be 34 next year and it wouldn't surprise me if Roosters shift him to centre/wing with Ramsey at fullback to facilitate the transition early
