JAC

[tony soprano]

It is worth noting that the Cleary did not rate DWZ and the group also did not like him. Barret is coming straight from Penrith, so he would be well up to speed on the reasons Penrith wanted him gone.

One thing other clubs do MUCH better than us with players they want to move on is they basically tell them "you will be in state cup for years". Look at Ricky Stuart, who has openly said he threatens players with years of meaningless footy.

We really should be a lot of tougher...we have told so many players they are not wanted the past couple of years, but they all stay in the squad.

So, Dogs will likely be ruthless with this. I can't see them getting JAC unless DWZ is offloaded. Let's hope no one bites.

Jason Taylor got hammered for that when he suggested Robbie would be in reggies because he was trying to get rid of him. So its ok if its a player who everyone dislikes but if its a player who is cuasing problems and is on big money but the fans like him then we will sack the coach.

Wasn't Farah the Origin hooker at the time? It's a bit rough to be dropped in that scenario.

Farah was indeed origin hooker,but that didnt entitle him to run the entire club and in doing so shaft yet another coach who wants to do things their way
Exactly the same goes for self entitled Benji.Just doesnt get it.
The results on the board of players running the club for the past decade or so have been less than stellar,so lets try allowing a premiership winning coach to run the joint
...and Benji can walk on his own eggshells in the transit lounge.

The fetters of tyranny. That JT era lost the WTs many good young players. I have no doubt we are just now recovering from that disastrous appointment.

?

We built a crop of juniors just to let them go along with good senior players.

Disastrous indeed still recovering.

Don't know if anyone else heard it this arvo on 2sm, that peanut storm supporter was 100% Addo Carr to the dogs okenball, to the storm

Lol I could’ve called up saying I’m a tigers supporter and said he was 100% coming to us and I’m sure people would believe.

@THE_POM do you believe any of this dribble ?

Only quoting on what was said....wouldnt say this Pom bloke knows any more

Who is the exact source of the info?

The WT were hit by a series of serious injuries (Tuiaki, Dwyer, Moltzen, Lawrence, Ellis etc. ), legal issues (Simona, Lui, Lodge), and made few mistakes with retention of players e.g. N Brown, Fafita, Suli, Papenhousen, Paseka, Tatola, Taupau, Maire Martin.
We were also victims of our own success, producing SOO/representative players that became too expensive to keep e.g. Tedesco, and Woods.

Also kept the wrong juniors

Well I said some time back that if we didn't sign him already then he will not be here .
POM confirmed today that he has agreed to terms of contract starting 2022 or 2021 subject to Melbourne release.
So what are you nervous nellies on about?

With all due respect to the Pom, it’s pretty hard to trust someone on a forum that we’ve never met.

I’m in the same boat as you but the Pom is different. Has a proven track record and I can’t remember many posts he’s made not coming to fruition

I hope so. He’s good for some exciting rumours but I haven’t been on here long enough to see many proper signings that he’s called. He got Tamou right though which was good about an hour before a journo said the same (maybe the same person?)

Not the same person ie he's not a journo or anything related to it although I think there'd be a few journos who wish they got the info he does. He's a good bloke who gets legit info and shares what he can.

Stand up person and extremely passionate about the club.

No ones questioning them as a person however it’s hard to know how reliable anyone on a forum is.

Personally I’ve seen him/her get one signing right and it was about 15 mins before it was published online so their source could just be the media which might not be right at all.

Some people who’ve been around longer might know how many actual signings they got right, they’re good for rumours that seem half decent though

It's a fans forum dude, so take everything with a grain of salt. Sometimes I get the sense people (not saying you) are salty that The Pom gets inside info and want to knock him/her when it doesnt pan out.

I can tell you tho, that the info provided is on the mark but as with all things in Ruga Leeg, things are fluid and change.

Believe him or don't believe him ...I'm sure the Pom doesn't care either way

Yeah people do take what they say as fact, but 99% of his posts nothing is ever official. Normally it’s we’re interested in this person or this person has been discussed and I’m sure it’s correct but some people take it as gospel.

Nothing, assuming Happy is talking about Tedesco changing his mind overnight to sign with the raiders and later reneging on that deal.

i have been informed that JAC has signed a "heads of agreement" with us. It's a good start but not a contract yet.
