When do contracts have to be registered by?

Afaik, youre off contract Oct 31…....there must be a date when new contracted must be sighted?

I wouldn't think there would be a cut off date. We've signed players a week out from the comp starting in the past, i.e Lote and Jason Moodie

 

[foreveratiger]

fingers crossed we have a cracking year …

Tigers have put up a few photos on their facebook.
Interesting to see Simon Dwyer in the background in this one.


Dwyer worked last year as assistant video editor/coach with the NYC team. He also got the call up from fitler to help with city. Here's hoping he can be a great coach the poor guy!

I know I just mentioned this on another post but interesting to see with the NYC boys that moses and brooks will feature but not Mulcahy. Wonder where they'll end up on the pitch next year?

Also Miller is out for a few more weeks apparently after surgery.

So what round will Lote get injured in this year?

Not funny chum

LOL have a sook Ink.

It is a valid statement and young fella my answer is hopefully no round because he is no longer with us. Waste of space and money.

Stupid comments.
Isn't even a statement. I hope he smashes it next year and proves you both wrong. That should be the attitude you both should have.

The bloke is well past it, bordering upon being a liability. The side is always weaker when he is a part of it…fact.

Answers a few Qs
Reddy, Moltzen, Lote, Miller staying ….no union whatsisname

Whos Buchannan and Taqele Naiyaravaro???

Does it answer any questions though Ink ??

With what has happened in the off season and the uncertainty with Miller and the Titans wouldn't the Tigers by coming out and saying "Yes we signed Bell,Moltzen and Tuqiri and Miller is definitely ' to at least stem the tide of negative press

I understand they don't want repeat of last seasons March champions schmoozle ,but some good news would of been nice

Look I just don't trust the club and I won't be surprised if blokes are literally training for their contracts still

 

[MacDougall]

I am thrilled that someone has identified Naiyaravaro and Brown. Taqele will destroy first grade when he gets the nod. Utterly unstoppable. An off season full time and some positive reinforcement and he will be huge for us. He hit a guy so hard (legally) that he broke the dudes arm. He's definitely rough though. Got sin binned and sent off a couple of times this year for high shots though some of you seem to feel we need that kind of guy that people don't run at. Brown will probably not play first grade for a while but he is a smallish prop that is just non stop. The engine on the bloke at the back end of the year was phenomenal which means he is driven. You could see because of his improvement during the season that he must have worked very hard in the off season.

Gotta feel for Begovich though. If we had have signed Potter a year sooner he would have a contract for sure. Also I don't rate Buchanan at all.

Taqele needs to watch some footage of Dave Taylor. They are both massive human beings and his size needs to be put to good use. I don't want him to become another Daine Laurie.

Brown was very good this year. Definitely has a motor on him and only knows one way - run hard, run straight. He was able to cause some damage against opponents in the 20s, whether he can bring it to the big boys is another question.

Another question: Out of the U20s players that have been listed as training with the first grade side, who are still eligible for the 20s next year?

On-schedule Mick's no hurry Potter
November 6, 2012
Glenn Jackson, Brad Walter

HE was announced as Wests Tigers coach less than a fortnight ago, yet after taking charge of his first training session with his new club, Mick Potter insisted the pre-season was ''on schedule''.

And while axed coach Tim Sheens was nowhere to be seen at Concord Oval on Monday, one of his former assistants, Royce Simmons, has returned to the club.

Before his sacking, Sheens had been keen for Simmons to return to the club. Now Potter, who was appointed as Sheens's replacement last month, is content to have the popular former hooker as an assistant, along with Steve Georgallis.

Potter took charge of his first training session yesterday, as the vast majority of the Tigers' squad - including new recruits Braith Anasta and Eddy Pettybourne - began their pre-season. The only major absentees were skipper Robbie Farah and back-rower Adam Blair, who played in the October Test match.

Potter started at the club following his late October appointment amid concerns that the Tigers, who finished a disappointing 10th last season, would be well behind the rest of the competition by the start of the pre-season because of the coaching uncertainty.

But Potter said: ''The guys who have been here before had most of it planned anyway. We're on schedule in terms of where we wanted to be.''

Of his first day in charge of the players, he said: ''We had a field session and a weights session, and everything went to plan. It was my first day with the players, although I've met most of them.''

Hayden Knowles, a former strength and conditioning coach at Parramatta, has also joined the club as a physical performance manager.

Sheens' future, though, remains unresolved. The club, keen to avoid paying out its long-time coach, has maintained it wanted Sheens at the club in another capacity.

''There's no resolution at this point,'' Tigers chief executive Stephen Humphreys said. ''We're just allowing him whatever time he needs to think through his options.

''We're certainly not going to rush him with that. Tim deserves a bit of a break, so we've encouraged him to take some time off and let us know when he's ready.''

Meanwhile, St George Illawarra coach Steve Price has revealed that the club withdrew from negotiations with England halfback Rangi Chase because he was happy with the options he had in the halves for next season. After being offered a release from Castleford to join the Dragons, Chase announced that he was staying put and Price said it had been his decision to withdraw from negotiations with the New Zealand-born playmaker.

He also said the club had not made an offer for Scott Prince, who has joined the Broncos after gaining a release from the Titans.

''We have got a number of potential halves there in Jamie Soward, Nathan Fien, Kyle Stanley and a young guy from Manly, Josh Drinkwater, and I just made the decision that I felt comfortable with the players we have got in that area at the moment,'' Price said.

''We have also got some exciting young hookers in Mitch Rein, Cameron King and Damien Cookso we are fine with what we have got in those positions.''

Stanley is understood to be Price's first choice to replace retired former captain Ben Hornby but the emergence of Rein and King will allow Fien to spend more time in the halves.

''A lot depends on how Kyle's knee comes along but he is doing a lot of straight line running and hopefully we will have him back for the first trial,'' said Price, who confirmed Kiwi international Gerard Beale would get ''first crack'' at fullback.

❏ Meanwhile, former Sydney Roosters coach Brian Smith visited NRL headquarters on Monday to discuss his interest in taking charge of referees next season. A replacement for sacked referees bosses Bill Harrigan and Stuart Raper is expected to be announced later this week.

You got to love the article in the tele stating Braith will join us next week along with Blair and Farah, while the SMH has a photo of Braith training yesterday!!! Classic telegraph work.

Also Ive heard alot of good things about Hayden Knowles. He could be our best off season purchase.

Brown was awesome against the Roosters in the qualifying final. Will be keen to see what he can make of whatever chances he gets. Didn't see much of Naiyaravaro this year, but what I saw was impressive purely from a potential point of view; an animal.

You dont know the difference between a statement & a question, or a fact from an opinion….not real bright are you?

Tell us again how you punched out all those opposition fans you used to come across at games....used to be one or two every few weeks....they were awesome stories
