I wasn't weighing in on the definitions of juniors and pathway players, I was merely pointing out that many of the guys you identified as Wests products never played for Wests; they were either Balmain juniors, came through the Balmain pathways or joined WT in Flegg.
And it goes back to my initial comment that if Wests Tigers are serious about making a better connection with the South-West region, a focus needs to be keeping a better percentage of the many South-West products playing NRL in Wests Tigers colours.

Not much need for that presser once it had already become common knowledge.
Surely Jarome plays against the dogs and each week that he is available, as he was putting in on Friday night despite all the hullabaloo prior to the match. Hopefully we see a halfback selected to play as well, and preferably Latu.

Dolphins have signed George Williams & haven’t yet offered Kodi an extension. It’s a head scratcher of a decision by them. I think he would be a good get

Benji presser at 12.45pm after field work training.

I heard somewhere (maybe on a pod or a journo) that there was supposed to be a press conference yesterday but Romey’s management leaked the info last week. I think that’s why the club sent the info on Saturday. Benji has been great dealing with the media this year but either he or the club missed a great opportunity to get everything out in the open. As you know all we are going to hear everyday now is he said she said BS. The media can go way over the top with us but geez we load their guns so well.

Brent Read will be there again today most likely … hope Benji gives him a bit more 👍

Farah can start an argument in an empty room.
I hate seeing he's framed that photo of himself drinking beer in front of the LO scoreboard and puts in the the frame of a lot of interviews -- he's even branded it. We lost that game and he didn't even play. It's hardly a triumph. And it's not like he didn't get his 20k pay packet that week.
Robbie Farah -- Falling out with 3 coaches in 5 years
Fighting with David Furner during that Sheens season was the last straw for me. Unbelievably good player in his day, even better than Api, but a strange guy.
Farah is a straight shooter and sorts out the men from the nice.
Yeah he is divisive, but I think Benji needs him to back up his no bullshit approach.
SIGNING NEWS!
Boom fullback Mike Nassar has returned to Wests Tigers after stints with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and Sydney Roosters.

Great news! Speed on speed. Lad can kick the bladder out of a ball too. Can play fullback, wing & centre.
Great intel originally from @ROZELLE.O.G about a month ago.

Genuine question. Is there any reason to be excited about this Mickey Nassar?
Couldn't make it at the Dogs or Roosters...

Agreed, but I still think Dolphins will end up giving him an extension.
Would gladly take him if available though
Its amazing how a simple correction can turn into a major drama.
Well thats what i thought initially...whats the point?
Club has since.come out and.officially announced hes off.
Some seemed.to think WTs or JL would.be announcing where hes going at a WTs presser.
Thats for his new gig to sort out

Always shown skill & speed coming through Balmain junior reps before shifting to Roosters (not sure reason but vaguely remember we prioritised others at the time).
Yes he's another short outside back but does possess speed especially off the mark & good agility and has been progressing at each club.
Is still only 19 and another year eligible for Jersey Flegg next year.
Here are some highlights:

Speaking of speed, wonder what is going on with Riley Oitmann? Hasn't been sighted in Flegg for ages. Would love to see him get another crack.

Pretty pointless of him to join Wests when the club has committed to paying the worst fullback in the comp. a million a year to stink up the joint for the foreseeable future.
