Recap the situation

We supposedly meet Isako, media circus.
Goes no where and he claims he's sticking solid with broncos.

We talk to dogs about DWZ, they want BJ and then they want Mikaele... not too flexible with the costs involved. We walk away.

We then sign an athletic, tall, young, winger from the warriors looking to prove himself and get back to his best, in first grade.

????

Huge win.
Team is really shaping up nicely.


Waiting on the negative nellies to paint a narrative that we only took the offers away from DWZ & Issako after they rejected us and we settled for this nuffy. Thats how it goes isnt it?

And so it begins...

??

Anyway, I'm stoked with this signing.
Under the radar, smart signing.

Sucked in Bulldogs and good on us. I'm glad that we aren't being pushed around by other clubs anymore. I hope the bulldogs miss out on some big signings because of the failed negotiation.

Isn't he a little tall?

And incredibly slow

Have you seen Talau?

Incredibly slow is pretty dramatic mate.
I reckon he'd out run you.

Exactly. So we’ve added another slow and un athletic winger to our backline. Now the slowest backline in the Comp by an absolute mile.

I’d hope so mate. He’s a professional athlete making 300k a year

He's not that slow, in his highlight videos all his tries were him mostly running around players or monstering over the line with strength.

At the end of the day, it's not a running race.
More factors into it although speed is advantageous.

You seem unhappy mate.
We can only sign what's available and this is a great signing.
An upgrade on what we currently have.

The glass isn't always half empty.

That's a bit over the top. He's not the fastest winger but he's not slow, he's fast enough over short distances but he's not running the length and he's certainly not unathletic he's scored some beauties in the corner over the years
 
Good under the high ball, strong, athletic and can find the line. This is a great signing. Not the faster winger but I'd hardly call him slow.

Facts.
🐯🔥🏆
 
You know, call me nostalgic for the old days, but for me, all these intelligent signings both on and off the field, together with the club being financially sound and no major player indiscretions; its just not the Wests Tigers anymore!
I mean what will Paul Crawley write about now! We may have made him Redundant !!!!!!

If we signed Usain Bolt there'd be comments about how slow he is.

Recap the situation

We supposedly meet Isako, media circus.
Goes no where and he claims he's sticking solid with broncos.

We talk to dogs about DWZ, they want BJ and then they want Mikaele... not too flexible with the costs involved. We walk away.

We then sign an athletic, tall, young, winger from the warriors looking to prove himself and get back to his best, in first grade.

????

Huge win.
Team is really shaping up nicely.


Waiting on the negative nellies to paint a narrative that we only took the offers away from DWZ & Issako after they rejected us and we settled for this nuffy. Thats how it goes isnt it?

I am glad we signed Ken over Isaako and DWZ, he will be a good pick up, but I stand by my other statements.
We only took the offers away from Latrell and JAC after we fawned all over them offering plenty with the added bonus of playing fullback, and were rejected

Thier cap is beyond screwed . again !!! They just came out of it and they’ve gone straight back in .
Hoppa 600k, JAC 600k ,Burton 600k minimum , DWZ 800k , Cotric 600k , Allan 450k , 400k for Averillo. Napa is on 600k .

That’s half thier cap on ,barring JAC and Burton , some bog average players . Are they going to get a half and a 9 anytime soon ? Maybe some forwards ? And most of those guys are more than 2 years .
I would have chased a pack personally . As we have proven you don’t need names in the backline to score points . But you do need a pack with strike .
 
Tigers need a winger. Nek minute tigers sign a representative winger. Oh why did we sign him, he is too tall and too strong but soooo slow.

Give it up guys! Great signing , well done to all involved.
