It's a been a long time guys. I'm back. Miss me?

Thanks Ink , I didn't know if you could do a view topic on a closed thread …

Obviously you can

I can't understand the angst that some posters have for posters of the ilk of SG who are providing some genuine indsider insights. Sure not everything is correct, that's the dynamic nature of contracts and footy clubs….things change. I'll tell you what reading this post beats the data less drivel served up by some here.

They are most probably jealous that they don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

I can't speak for others…. But when people like tank start posting slanderous BS like below.... It just goes to a whole new level.

I wasn't wrong with that info FYI and with everything that's transpired since do you still think it wasn't the case?

Its also sad that people forget that Lawrence played for Australia and TORE IT UP….AFTER the hip injury. Im not sure what his problem has been but he was in career best form immediately after he came back from the hip injury.

No he wasn't. He was off the pace.

So he didnt play for Australia after the injury? They hand out Green & gold jerseys for encouragement?

To be honest, Glenn I think he only got his Australian jumper because Sheens was the coach. Both he and Tuquiri were debatable selections that year.

Think your incorrect. He was sensational, and that is why he got the jumper.

The player that got the jumper because Sheens was the coach was Farah.

Alright guys, let's not take personal potshots at one another. As at this point smoking gun hasn't broken any rules so either take his info for what it is, or ignore it until something official is released by the club. Pretty simple really. I don't want this thread degenerating thanks.

No not at all BT

I just think it is highly irresponsible for someone claiming to be part of the Concord scene to be accusing players of match fixing when in the end it was so far from the mark it wasn't funny

We all want the club to show some integrity and accountability in one sentence and then in the next we want more leaks than a sieve which are probably agenda driven

You can't have it both ways sorry

The way Anasta played for us you would think he was match fixing

 

[nrlcountrytiger]

Is Alex Glenn on our radar SG? Geez I'd love it if we could pick him up - he's always playing off the bench at the Broncos. He's be guaranteed a run on spot here if that's what he was looking for.

Alex Glenn has resigned with the broncos

I don't think so. He said he wants to stay, but the Broncos haven't yet tabled an offer, so officially he is still off contract at the end of this season. I know it's a long shot for us to sign him, but he would add some much needed starch to our pack.

This should nearly be priority after Teddy :smiley:

Yeah, I rate him highly… Would love him here . Can't see it though

At least Ballin has a good reason.

Anasta was just pathetic and a salary thief.

Anasta should be in jail for fraud anyway…...impersonating a footballer for two years and defrauding our club of $500k

 

[Spartan117]

Not me. I am Lawrence's biggest critic these days and think he should retire. But pre injury he was a hell of a player. Probably would have been origin centre had he not been injured.

Please fill me in, I am only 12 so don't know much of previous players.

What happened to Lawrence?

Dislocated a hip several years back… Never been the same since

Poor Lawrence.

Why doesn't he just retire?

Money!

 

[Spartan117]

Guys I'm not interested in having arguments and being abused on here for just passing on the info I was provided. So looks like brooks has accepted the lesser deal as I was told. Good to see. Value signing for you guys at that price but also leaves the door open for Nathan Cleary signing now as well.

Welcome back Gun,

People got to remember this is a fan forum on the WWW.

We all have one thing in common the Wests tigers and time wasting…(2 things haha)

Ps I like the Article I read in SMH that says words to the effect " million dollar players should play like Million dollar players". Only Teddy fits the bill here.

 

[Milky]

Don't like the thread, move on. I'm interested in the topic not what people think of smoking gun.

Good scoop.

From Fox Sports Market Watch article. Could be related to Lawrence

**SHHHHH II**

There’s a veteran being pressured by his club to hang up the boots and transition into a role away from the field but the player wants to play on. This could get messy.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Lawrence is 28\. I doubt the club would be pressuring him to retire.

He'll be gone next year. Have a bex and lie down.

Chris Lawrence was the best centre to ever play for the Wests Tigers, it is true that he still had the majority of his speed post the hip dislocation but he then continued to tear his hamstring which was related to the hip injury. His dislocation was horrific and took a long time to be put back into place. I also suspect that his dislocation resulted in Hip Osteonecrosis (Femoral Head Bone Death). Chris deserves a lot more respect than he receives on this forum, he suffered this injury playing for our team, it wasn't his fault he had recently signed a very lucrative contract, a contract that he fully deserved for the level of player he was. He in recent years renegotiated that deal to a much more team friendly deal, he didn't have to do that, he could have taken the money owed to him. Do you think many of our other players would have done that?

I think 4 Paul Whatuira 2005 did great defensively
