    This was going to be my point but BB got in first. We have promoted a stack of youth into the top 30 for next year. The problem isnt the money it is how many spots we have available. If we have signed Willson then that would explain Blore potentially moving on as we dont have enough roster...

    They didn't punt Brooks, he chose to leave for more money and a longer contract. Nothing wrong with that. The pieces are still in play. Not sure why the expectation is that we would announce something just because Manly did. Chances are we are trying to recruit a few pieces of the puzzle and...

    Not sure about some of the opinions on here about Ice. He has not regressed since he switched clubs in my opinion. I watched a semi final he played in for Parra where he let in every try with poor lateral movement in defence. A few weeks ago I then saw him let in two tries in the one game due to...

    Of course you will, you have never posted anything positive on here so why start now?

    Timing is critical - you are right. We have until June to strengthen the squad. For that we need roster space and we now have it. The press will turn everything around to make WT look stupid, and we have deserved it more often than not, but our actions over the last 6-8 months have been planned...

    Absolutely, Joffa has shown he is a true professional and I admire him for that. This is a win win for both clubs as we have plenty of forward depth coming through and they need to be shown there is opportunity at this club. Parra screwed us over a few times now, and this is a nice shot across...

    You reckon it's panic? my take is we owe Parra no favours so lets let them wait one more week...just as an inconvenience.

    We are a Wests Tigers signings rumour thread....why all the posts about Paul kent? He is a nuffy, don't give him oxygen

    No, but it is worth paying half his salary just to ensure Nofa doesn't play for Wests Tigers again. An injury depleted squad like Storm, Dogs or Dolphins would take a seasoned winger (whinger) for half salary over two years.

    Cleary is the best coach we had since Sheens left, unfortunately we couldn't keep him. He always managed to squeeze that extra bit of juice out of the orange. Cleary leaving was the end of Luke Brooks.

    You stick any player in a stronger squad and of course they look better. The three players you have listed are all origin class players, whereas if you look at Eisenhuth, Garner, Brown, Woods, M'Bye......none of these players have performed any better IMO than they did for us. They are solid and...

    For anyone bagging Hastings

    We were really bad on Sunday, but lets not compound it by placing Hastings on the list of future immortals. The facts are that he is slow and his ballplaying ability is average. He seems like a nice kid, but everywhere he goes he leaves a trail of salty team mates behind. Letting Hastings go...

    Ramien didn't last at the Knights and went back to the Sharks. He now knows that the grass isn't always greener on the other side so why would he leave the sharks again?

    LIVE GAME 2023 Trial 1: Wests Tigers v Warriors

    Some are reading way too much into this. We were very slow in the halves and couldn't get clean ball to the outside backs. Wakeham was super disappointing, even though it was nice to see a kick for touch that went more than 7 metres. The forwards showed promise. Some of the younger guys were...

    A first grade forward pack is not 5 players....it is a dozen players that will all have to fill in over the period of a season. We will have some impressive "names" in the pack for this year and that should win us quite a few games. The problem will be injury and possibly rep selection. We have...

    Who on Earth starts their negotiating position on what they are worth? If your looking to attract top dollar, you start high and work your way back....and hopefully end up 20-30% over what your true value is. Adam is Wests Tigers all over and it will be a shame if we cannot find a spot for him.

    He doesn't fit, he needs to fight. There will be competition for spots and we cannot rely on him or Blore to cement a position all year following severe injuries. Talau has a lot of work in front of him. I think he is class though, and I expect him to push for a bench spot given he can cover...
