James Tedesco Signs with Roosters [Official]

Honestly, I don't want this bloke wearing the Tigers jersey for the rest of the season. No way we are making the finals. I don't want him/woods/moses staying tuned up to play for their respective sides next year. Wish we would drop them and tell them they aren't welcome to play elsewhere or to train using the club's facilities this season. They are to do promotional appearances in the area only. See how Woods goes after a season not training.
 
You know what they say, once they cheat they will cheat again. He's left before but he backflipped. This time he's gone for good. We maybe should of learnt the first time he isn't loyal.

Devastating if true. A very dark day for the Wests Tigers. Us fans should really petition to have the current board sacked.

Ahhhhh no. I've had enough of the media calling us a basket case. I don't need more of an excuse to brandish that saying
 
Its always sad to lose the quality of players that were able to get us to 9th position on the ladder. I prefer to look forward and am excited as to the quality of players we may be able to sign. Easy to focus on the quality of the players we are losing, yet there are plenty of players out there than can offer a lot.

He's left once before
How could you doubt he would do it again

He did that when it was wrongly assumed the club werent interested - totally different this time - will be interesting to see how long the rorters carry him if he has the injury problems he had with us,

How true - nothing to do with the board - more so with selfish self opinionated egotistical under achieving hacks.
 
They should all be made to sit on sidelines and not play. Brisbane broncos did it years ago why can't we. Stuff em. We offered good money they said no. I f I was a team mate of theirs you wouldn't trust them to put in the extra effort that is needed.

Who will you petition, the board? What will this petition say? Perhaps it will say that we should have offered Teddy even more than 20% of our cap. If he goes, the club has this right and I'm already worried that if he stays, we are offering him so much of our cap - no player, even Tedesco is worth this kind of money.
 
It seems my info on Tuesday was 100% on the money, even though I got panned on here. I wish more than anything it wasn't, but at least it's over. Hopefully now the club can move on. Even though it looks bleak, there are positives to come out of this.

1\. The saga is over and now we can focus on football
2\. We no longer have a core group of players holding influence over the club
3\. We essentially have a blank canvas, with an excellent painter holding the brush.

Look forward, not back.
 
There is a lesson in all this. Don't ever bring young players with potential and give them the keys. Build a solid squad where young players that come through add to the team and don't carry the load. We have bred a culture of upstarts that think they are better than they are on the field. Even with them we were average and at best a bottom top 8 team.
Teddy is a huge loss but at 1.2m we wil end up better off without him. Roosters can manipulate the cap via tpa we can't take the risk

We don't have a blank canvass , we have a history of screwing up perfect opportunities

We might build it , but no one will come (Field of Dreams )
 
Very disappointing that Tedesco is going to Rorters .. and Woods is going to the Dogs. Infact all three Mosses Woods and Tedesco .. they want good money they club has offered good money to them and they have turned their back on us .. here they were all saying last year they all wanted to stay together at the Tigers, noting that we had a very good young squad that if they all stayed together we would have a top quality squad in the future .. no the club has moved players on Benji, Farah allowed players to go elsewhere (Brown, Korobete, Addo-Carr, Sironen) so that we could save money for these guys, now they have spat in the clubs face and hang us out to dry .. !! Very disappointed cub member .. !!!
 
The dogs lost 4 of their best players in one day in 1996, and made the grand final 2 years later.

Not expecting us to be grand finalists in 2 years, but with an intelligent coach and smart recruitment, today's pain can be short lived.

Time will tell.

For some reason I have the following terms in my mind, not sure why: "alcoholic". "conflict of interest". "Eddie Hayson". "germ". "weasel". And, just for a bonus: "fortunately probably pushing up daisies inside a decade".

yeah thats the silliest thing…the board and CEO have actually been great for us recently.

if they dont want to sign when we're offering fair money and probably a solid amount from our veteran player allowance then that's not the boards fault who have nothing to do with player retention as far as i know
