I don't know how they will go but it'll be interesting. I feel our squad is improving slowly but we made some big leaps last season. The issue with us is getting players to perform consistently to the level they are capable of. Players like Klemmer, IP and Bateman are guys that need to perform...

Clearly plenty do even if they want him gone. Are you stating he isn't a big issue in our squad. I'd agree with that.

He is a borderline first grader for us. I don't have him in the starting 17. I think as a back-up option though he is better than Momo or Pauga. He can also play second row or in the outside backs. If we could swap Kepaoa for a gun outside back it'd be great though.

It's not even this simple. Who is better - Pauga or Kepaoa ? I reckon Kepaoa by miles. Pauga gets a starting job for the rorters. Remember how highly rated Momo was. The guy was ordinary. He isn't a first grader. For some reason people still mention him on here as a signing target. I'm not sold...

You are right in that everything adds up but the Tigers have been trying to get him to sign for a while. The thing is with someone like Luai for instance he may prefer to stay in Sydney whereas someone like Tupou who I think grew up in Canberra may be happy to go to lots of different clubs. The...

From what I've read they have tried to offer him a contract but Tupou or his manager are stating no. He has offers from other clubs. It's about who offers him the most money.

I didn't do it for long mate. As soon as I realized I could get punched in the head I stopped.

That is pretty good. My youngest plays basketball at PCYC but it's terribly run.

I think it's a little different now. I paid something like $2 for membership and that was it. My son did boxing and now MMA but he pays a couple of grand per year.

I like this attitude.

I remember doing boxing at Balmain PCYC and he'd train there every so often. I am positive it was after his injury. I hardly spoke to him but he seemed happy enough.

This is a tough one right. He has size and speed but he isn't at this point the complete package and at some points he is a borderline first grader. Still yet again you think about Nofo on $500k.

Too right. If we were a strong country I'd only allow people to work who were really good looking. You'd have to put other criteria into place as well though. I mean we can't have anyone too tall or too short or overweight. They'd also have to talk proper English. I'd fix this place.

Nice post. I hope we all want the Wests Tigers to be successful.

I think it's all on the squad we have and then if the coaching staff can get them performing as a group to a high level. I'm not getting negative yet though. I'll be negative if we are out of the comp after the first 10 rounds or so. The longer we have a chance to make the 8 the better.

This is a fact but it's also in the past.

The only thing is will they do dodgy deals. Money above the table isn't as good as the dodgy payments.

I have extremely low expectations however like each year I can't wait until the footy season starts. The club has no responsibility to the supporter base. No one owes me anything.

I understand that is how you feel however feelings aren't facts. How do you explain all the players that have signed here with other options available to them like Bateman,Klemmer, API and IP or even Staines, Seyfarth or even guys like Latu Fainu ? I reckon we may get Luai as well. So chin up...

Of course. Do you know many people stupid enough to do what you are suggesting ? I've never met anyone that dumb.
