James Tedesco Signs with Roosters [Official]

[vlad]

it is not about money they dont want to be here anymore. as i said my brother spoke to moses yesterday. they just want out and are leaving 100 per cent

Of course Moses would say that .

 

[bp_tiger]

let all 3 go right now as long as we ARE NOT PAYING FOR THEM THIS YEAR. then go and pick some kids out of the lower grades in Sydney and qld and give them a crack for the rest of the year. iam sick of all 3 just piss of if ur going or come out and say iam on THE BUS.

 

[MissMe911]

3 spoilt brats leaving in temper tantrums because they have been told its no longer going to be a 4 man team is all I see.

Oh and fans carrying on just as bad, get over it.
The club can't force players to stay.

 

[BlackandGoldForever]

Dear dear some here are on melt down… I think the best thing moving forward is that both do leave the club .As alluded to with these guys look at the results over the last few seasons .The time has come for the rebirth of our club the clean out will be huge and the weak mindset that most of the roster have will be gone. Unlike many I am excited about the future of the team , seen all this before over the decades I support my club ...as Coach Cleary has stated your on the bus or not . I hope the real story comes out about what has transpired with these guys as it needs to be told as careers have been tarnished,people treated badly all for pandering to a group of sad individuals .

hang on didn't we clean the joint out back in 2012 with guys like Gibbs Fulton Rhino Beau Ryan Moltzen etc, yep went form comp favs to sucking and Benji going to Rugby to a bottom 4 team year after year

what is this the Cleveland Browns where you rebuild every year and start clean?

yeah cleaning the club out has been great hasn't it!! what a great cleanout that was to bring in guys like Adam Blair.

[Newtown]

During the late 70's and early 80's I was a Newtown fan and witnessed the club struggle at the bottom of the table between 1976 and 1979\. In 1980 the club had a player purge bought new players (including Tom Radounikis and Graeme O'Grady) and kept a couple of their performing, really genuine players. The next year, 1981, Newtown were grand finalists.

I wasn't a Balmain fan during the early 80's but I do remember Balmain struggling near the bottom of the table during those years. However, similar to what happened to Newtown, Balmain were dual grand finalist a couple of years later in 1988 and 1989.

What I am saying to all you Wests tigers fans is "don't despair". The current playing group will not get the club to a top 4 position for years, with or without Teddy. West Tigers, with the CAP money it now has available together, with the 2018 non- burden of Farahs' treasure chest, now has a once in a decade opportunity to purge all the non-performers from the club and buy quality performing players to replace the non-performers. If this happens we will see a tremendous improvement in Wests Tigers from 2018 onwards. Don't tell me it can't be done because I have seen it done in previous years with a number of clubs, including Newtown and Balamain, who were in exactly the same position we are in today. Support the club through its exciting re-awakening.

Sorry Newtown this club is in a coma and they probably don't even know it

Turn the switch off , do us all a favour , please

Your joking right? your trying to compatre the early 80s with 2017?? the early 80s was a Sydney only NSWRL comp for a start. There was no news limited around then, club loyalty was more of a thing, and there was no cap.

Balmain were also crap from 1991 to 1999, after Alan Jones cleaned out the joint, it actually got worse in 1994 when Pearce took over and they finished with the spoon, with only winning 4 games that year.

as for the wests tigers in 17 years 2010 was their ONLY consistent year where the team actually stayed in the top 4 and 8 for most of the year, 2005 we won the comp yes, but that was basted on coming good in July for 3 good months. 2011 was also a mirror image of 2005 only we choked to the warriors. so the team has had 3 good years, in which 2 of those years were only good for the last 3 months of the year.

So if you are a Balmain fan like myself that is 3 finals appearances since 1991\. and only one of those times we were in the top 5 or top 8, consistently for 1 year.

Failed under Terry Lamb Failed under Potter Failed under Taylor, the Wests Tigers merger is doomed. to much in fighting between clubs. might be time to split the merger and the only option to fix the club up. because nothing is gonna change.

And here you go Woods and tedesco all but gone.

Balmain is dead. I followed them until wesrs tigers. Followed Wests tigers since. Living in the past like sirro and elias is what causing alot of the crap. Our crieds are good, we havr alot of members and a good brand. Once we set up a one only home ground wel be sweet. Were not going anywhere..

Top post Newtown and agree 100%.

I seriously don't care what these 2 do…. I seriously don't, it's gone on for 2 long to worry what they are going to do.
This Club has started it's rebuilding process as money is slowly becoming available from past Salary Cap woes.

Jason Taylor never had money to get his players so we were always going to waste 3 years of no recruitment of top quality players as only at the end of this year we were going to get on our feet.
The only thing us fans can hope is that the Club doesn't make the same mistakes that it has in the past.

 

[happy_tiger]

Wait a second….I left this on page 100 come back.. .How did the Tedesco contract thread become about happy..

Anyone who thinks losing Tedesco can be a good thing or what's he done to get this team anywhere is.. :crazy

yeah course it is about me ….. :imp:

As I said before and last night , don't like it Foe me

And if the Mods don't like it , well they know what they can do about it :bulb:

You haven't broken any rules Happy so just relax mate.

I won't relax ,Willow

Its about time fans start tearing this place apart , forcing them to accountable and stop screwing this place up

The people in charge don't care Willow , as long as they come out smelling like roses , they're happy

If what you say is true Happy, Then i agree we as fans should be asking questions.

I remember from the last time with teddys contract you had the inside word, So i highly suspect you are hitting the nail on the head this time around.

So who is to blame?
We have had a new board since then a new CEO where is this all falling down?

I can understand if Teddy leaves if what you say is spot on. It has never been about money for him, you can tell his heart is with the club but his head isn't. From the past history you have shared i get why.

 

[Kul]

TBH I'm feeling pretty down about all this talk of the three of them going.

After shafting club stalwart Farah against his will, we were promised a successful new era under the awesome-foursome. Now they are bugging off. I feel cheated, robbed, betrayed.

and that is the problem right there, as a Balmain fan I was forced to really follow the merger, sometimes I regret my choice, but the only reason I did was to follow the Balmain players that were still with the club like Mark O'Neil and Ben Galea, that honestly was the only reason I chose to support the merger was because of that. I should have just remained a mutual fan like Norths fans did

the only reason why the dragons merger worked is they pretty much own 90% of the club and run the club Illawarra are nothing but a little name on their logo now and play some games up there. Steelers also really had no club history that was as big as Balmain and Wests
