    Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

    Seyfarth was re-signed over Eiso not McIntyre. McIntyre was meant to be re-signed however we didn't show him enough love and he took up a better offer.

    Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

    Not sure about that, seems like it was more a re-signing bungle than a decision however he had a much better 2020 under us than a 2021 for Titans......so far

    Didn't JAC sign with the Storm on the eve he debuted against them? He never should have been signed to a 1 year deal in the first place. It was clear he had the attributes to be a good first grade player. Edit - He debuted against Storm but signed with them a couple of months later...

    Me too. Glad I was wrong. Madge made the unpopular decision to keep him over Eisenhuth, turns out it was the right call

    Quite the opposite. Kenty, Hoops, and Yvonne are very clicky. Their relationship probably helped her getting the job

    Hastings signed for 22/23 *Official.

    So long as our pack continues to improve, he will improve. Many seem to think the new generation of superstars should be dominating from the get go, but they need at least a full season behind them. Ponga is a good example, looked ok but not spectacular for the Cowboys. Killed it for Knights the...

    Agree with everything you said. We seem to have the right ideas and recruit the right people in the right areas. However it doesn't seem to be translating into improvement

    Player development our Achilles heel

    To test whether we're still effective or not though you'd have to use some of our more recent players to measure this, players such as Twal, Aloiai etc as most of our current team are from elsewhere and we're still some time away from knowing how Mikaele, Stefano, Talau, Laurie etc will go long...

    Player development our Achilles heel

    I agree it's too early to call. I was referencing the many on here (I've also been guilty of this) who have already made up their minds rather than giving them more time to develop. Unfortunately I don't have much confidence in turning them around in our current system, however I would give them...

    Player development our Achilles heel

    Fair points. I agree JAC and Grant were always going to be stars however you can't say we were that involved in their development as they didn't spend long enough in our system. They also came from external junior clubs. Disagree on Sironen. He was way too inconsistent here. Many were happy to...

    Player development our Achilles heel

    As much as those articles are annoying, many of our player's wouldn't have left in the first place if they had every opportunity to grow and develop at our club. Our money is just as good as others and sometimes even better. I agree we have the talent to match other clubs and stated as much...

    Player development our Achilles heel

    Sironen was cut by the club, he was massively inconsistent here however he went on to reach his potential at Manly. Nathan Brown, also cut, was an animal we couldn't contain. He worked a lot of that out of his game and grew into an Origin player at the Eels. Agree Melbourne identify players...

    Player development our Achilles heel

    This is what I don't totally agree with. Of course we will improve with 4 of the top 50 players however I feel our system would still let us down and we would underachieve. Titans picked up 2 of the best forwards available this year and are struggling, yet Storm who never sign marquee players...

    No, just implying you should be more respectful of other posters rather than shutting them down. Sure it may have been covered, so perhaps ignore next time?

    Player development our Achilles heel

    Sure, the future is looking good for the players coming through. I have issue on how we are developing our current NRL squad or should we stop once they make their debut?

    Player development our Achilles heel

    Many would agree since Hartigan joined WT, our recruitment and salary cap management has seen a major improvement compared to previous seasons yet he we are again looking at another missed opportunity of playing finals football. The consensus is we lack the roster of other teams.....or do we...

    Our 5 year plan started in 2013 under Mick Potter. All we have to show for it is no finals appearances and 3, soon to be 4 coaches sacked
