Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[achilles]

A LOT of moving parts in play for this one. Fogarty is still a live option but was never Tigers Plan A. This other player was Plan A but his current club shut it down. Now there are big events at this players current club and everyone has gone back to Plan A but X, Y and Z need to fall into place for Plan A (for those who understand algebra).

Goes without saying if Fogarty arrives its off.

Mm

We have a diamond in the rough that most of us are overlooking.

Josh Schuster has lost 33 kg, is looking sharp, and has openly said that he's not interested in the money. He wants to prove his value and earn his way back into first grade.

He's only 25, and it seems he's matured and put some of the demons that plagued his life behind him.

There's no need for Fogarty or a veteran in my mind, unless they're willing to come on a minimum contract. They'll only block the pathways for our younger players.

i dont believe he is still at the club

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

ah yes, the man with the worst strike rate in history.

tell me more about Wests Tigers legend Alex Johnston who signed with the club six years ago and the pair of players we swapped for Ivan Cleary at the end of 2018 to rubber stamp his release to Penrith…

Rancid oil.

I think you may have me confused with somebody else.....lets talk about Tim Sheen s being signed to coach again and many of my success stories?

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Point taken, but i still dont agree with that. IMO when he was the genuine halfback he was poor. He had 2 ok games there. When he played as a 6 he had 1 great game and 1 ok game. Thats just my opinion

Madden was our most winning half in 2026.

Did HBG leak the Cleary/Fowler 9 mil contract offer to the media to take the pressure of us after there recent fall out?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a positive Wests tigers news article and it seemed to be realised at an interesting time

Was sus as timing

I believe he is. There hasn't been an official announcement from the club, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.

Do you have any formal info?

 

[FinestTigers]

I heard you missed me.......Im back!!!!

And as a welcome back gift, here is a nugget for you.

Tigers are deeeeeeep in discussions to bring a veteran halfback to the club but its not Jamal Fogarty. This bloke nearly came to us previously but his club stepped in to stop it but the world has changed in the last two weeks and all parties are trying to make it work right now. Will be a good result if we can make it happen.

Sounds like a plot straight out of a James Bond movie. Is he arriving by helicopter under cover of darkness? Did you meet your source in a dark alley at 2 AM, or did the barista at Concord drop this in your coffee?

The club never formally announced Jack Bird was leaving, I doubt they'll say anything about a dude who played 1 nsw cup game

Last time i missed you was on those other forums 2 years ago when you had a meltdown about folks not licking your toes here and told us you were gone- well that never happened .
Go back to the abis you once came from-your a turd stirrer , not worth the air time

Not sure exactly what you are asking but it counts as a game played whether you play 1 minute or 80. It does not if you are unused on the bench. So the round 2 and round 8 wins do not add to his win percentage.
The games he was only on the field for a quarter of the game were the round 7 loss to Broncos and round 16 loss to dolphins, so they are not positively skewing his win percentage at all. There were a couple other games he didn't play the whole 80 but played the bulk of the game, also losses.

So he has a lower win percentage?

 

[Ecto-1]

I’d hope for Dearden but Martin was a Tigers junior.

 

[WTTOM]

Point taken, but i still dont agree with that. IMO when he was the genuine halfback he was poor. He had 2 ok games there. When he played as a 6 he had 1 great game and 1 ok game. Thats just my opinion

Fair enough I believe he's better as a 5/8 with his ball running ability etc.. Next year I would be partnering him up with Latu

 

[gregjm87]

So he has a lower win percentage?

No, his win percentage is 40%.

 

[WTTOM]

No, his win percentage is 40%.

Sorry yeah I think i was thrown off by the wins next to his name where he didnt play any minutes. But I guess you can see the Tigers had the most success when it was Adam and Jock in the halves (the first 8 rounds before Doueihi's injury)

Be smart and good deal for us if so, would leave 3 top squad spots vacant as well.
