Yeah,Tedesco & Woods are probably at their peaks at the moment but i don't think either are playing their hearts out so far this Season but that may change now the pressure is off and they are moving on.
I think Moses and to a lesser extent Brooks may still turn into Champions instead of Journeyman 1st graders.
I don't really understand this need you have to staunchly defend Tedesco.
In their hearts very few supporters would argue that Tedesco is a bad person for moving over to the Roosters (or Dogs). However, people are emotionally invested in Tedesco remaining at the Tigers. His decision to leave hurts and people will criticise it - even if it was rational, as it no doubt was in Tedesco's eyes. Why can't you accept that? Why put up post after post bagging the club to its supporters. You won't change people's minds. Have a bit of understanding of human behaviour and motivation.

Think about it guys
The day Taylor got punted, the pressure turned to Des at the Dogs on the same day who said don't worry players are on the way and Des added a 2 year extension on his contract a few days later, what he meant by all that was Woods and Tedesco was going to the Dogs along with Foran, so this means they had alright made up their minds way before Taylor got the sack, so we know that these two grubs were going all along but dragging it out and causing chaos at the club

Porque?
Yeah, it just got worse. The thing is, it had to in order for (hopefully), it to get better. Too much cap space tied up in 4 players (5 if you count Robbie) and not enough for the rest of the squad to bring it up to par. So now we start … AGAIN ... but this time with enough in the bank to build a decent squad over the next 2 years. Am I disappointed at the outcome of the negotiations with Woods, Tedesco et al? Yes and No. Hate to see Tedesco walk - he is a great player. Sorry to see Woods walk, but not for the money he was after. But looking forward to a genuine make over.
I don't know what is going on behind the scenes that makes these guys want to move elsewhere. But by the same token, you see comments form players like Nofa, ET etc who seem genuinely happy to be at the club. I guess you can't please everyone. Let's hope that the issues that have caused player unrest in the first instance are being resolved under the new management.
To be honest, I think the guys coming in to the club now, are going to better off not having had to go through the dramas of the Taylor/Farah saga.

Dont think anyone can have a go at Tedesco for not digging in, he was very reliable when he wasn't injured.
Its a pity we couldn't hold onto him, players and club will move on and eventually supporters will when the emotion dies down.

Hey happy
I hear you, i am so peeved about losing teddy in particular
He was going to be tigers marquee player for sponsors advertising etc etc
Teddy leaving is the exclamation mark on where the weststigers are at. We are merely a feeder club to the "big boys" of the nrl
Honestly wish the club was in private ownership
Forget about developing junior talent, cut the campbelltown / balmain juniors cord and relocate to central coast.
We can never compete the current nrl competition where the mighty few teams habe an unbelievable advantage over the rest of thevteams that make up the numbers
I think there a couple of positives, the tigers brand, an impressive coach (imo) and a handful of first grade players but thats about it

Geez guys take a breather, getting worked up over 2 players…
We don't need to be held to ransom and pay overs, these 4 collectively haven't taken us to great Heights, so why stress. Teddy will be a loss no doubt but at the same time can be a risk signing as he has been on the sidelines a good percentage of his Career with us.
Cleary came in identified the overs we were going to pay for Moses and acted on it. We need a team of solid 1st Graders.
It's not the end of the World, the Club is acting on these muppets that think there Immortals.

Agreed Steve, the negativity on here is crazy. Tedesco leaving is especially disappointing but life goes on, can't do anything about their departures now.
My wife's best friend got scans yesterday to confirm whether she has ovarian cancer or not. Reality check people!

Happy,I agree with everything that you're saying.
I've been saying that the club was the worst run club in the game for the last few yrs.
But got howled down.
I have no problems with Moses going . But to lose our one genuine star is a joke.
The club has been allowed to be run into the ground for so long, that their is no respect from anyone, players, (both here and outside the club, ). agents, the NRL and most supporters from other teams.
Id say that the players leaving, have no confidence at all that the club will be able to get the amount of GOOD players needed to make us even a reasonable chance
of being competitive, Except in a few games per season, and hardly ever against Quality teams when we need to be.
Why should they believe a word that the club says?
I don't think that just the money is the problem, it's more the lack of confidence that there is about the whole club in all areas. When players go and see the facilities that other clubs have, including the treatment for injuries, etc, no one should complain when they leave this shipwreck, and go to an up to date club. Good facilities can prolong players playing years.
The club itself has a lot to be learnt about how to develop young players , but Cleary should help there.
Bringing up young kids before they are readyboth mentally and physically is fraught with danger. One of which is the attitude that Moses has now.
The situation here has been brewing fora lot more than just since the start of this season, but
There's a lot here who think the players are the sole problem.
They're Dreaming.

thats the truth.
it has been the truth for a very long time, regardless of whos side anyone sits on or who wants to blame who…...

a complete strip down of players, board members CEO is needed to begin the rebuild
hopefully Cleary is the beginning
hes knows whats needed at every level to be a competitive and competent club !
