Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Well, Roycey is training the house down apparently. You’d think last year, coming to a new club would have been his year, but he was flat out playing 20 mins a game. But it’s this year when he’ll finally find his mojo. At 30 years of age.

Royce only being 30 is surprising. The way he moves you'd think he was older. The silver lining is that 30 is not too old to sort out your fitness. Although it's at the very end of the range where you can still make it as an athlete.

Well you are overstating the impact.

Disagree. Our attack during that period was horrible.

It wasn't just a matter of finding a new #6 a quarter into the season (which involved moving our #7).. there was the sideshow that came with it..

Strange coincidence that we lost 6 in a row when all this happened - yet showed no signs of going on a losing streak like that either before or after?

There were other concerns that played their part.

No arguments from me.. But the Galvin drama was one, if not the core trigger to eveything else.

Hard to beleive WESTS TIGERS website has not posted ONE UPDATE since 11.12.25.
We are now 11.01.26. Not a picture nor article, Zilch. Every other club has at least kept in touch with its members,
But not our mob.

Prob scared to so are now sending everything to HBG. They're prob waiting for the next board meeting for the HBG board members to approve every post before they post it.

Twal is pushing 10 years as a staple of our pack and you don’t consider him a 1st grader? Good luck getting away with that.

I wouldn’t have to go back too far to see all those that thought signing Royce Hint was going to revolutionise the pack - and an upgrade on Stefano.
probably could still find some hangers on at that.

Every club needs a Twal

I think Twal gets through a bit more work but Jensen is a bit more effective in what he does though not a huge difference in either.
As to the hypothetical, no I don't think it would have made much difference, though I think with other workers around at Brisbane Jenson fits that role slightly better than Twal does.

As much as I'm critical of Twal, he is more representative of the problems at the club than he himself being the problem. I see this in two ways. He should be a role player like Jenson is rather than the key forward the club seems to want him to be. Unfortunately we've just never had multiple quality middles around him. His faults as a player are common faults across the squad, pretty much for the duration of his career.

100%. I think the argument abt Twal ends with your post. I know personally many players have a very high regard for Alex, Hes the ultimate peofessional and a leader on and off the paddock just as everyone keeps saying abt Luai which i dont doubt be hes getting a lot more money than Alex.. With another impact forward we would of seen a better version on the front foot for a change.hes not why we have not played finals for a long time.

Thats not good despite what people say he is a signature we need to get done to show thats theres still a want from players wanting to stay, and i think hes still our best option. Getting a deal done at the Bulldogs would be the last kind of publicity we need. although im starting to think theres a chance it would be one that would actually piss me off and i dont usually get to emotionally involved....... well not always for those dont agree.lol

Don't think supporters at any club enjoy slimy Gus poaching their players mate, not enjoying the stalemate myself either, looks like it's going to head to the option expiry date you would think if he was that keen to stay it would be done by now.

I'd also bet Jensens' Salary doesn't start with a 4.
More likely a 2.
