Oliver Gildart has agreed to join the WestsTigers

[Jedi_Tiger]

hopefully Hastings can be used as a lock not a 6 or 7
Gildart is no world beater but probably better than what we have at present

I’m going to go out on a limb and say he isn’t better than anyone we have.

don't know if we have any internationals on out books in the backline at present

We have 4

Noffa and BJ - Samoa
Doueihi - Lebanon
Maulmalo - NZ

iSamoa and Lebanon please get serious tier 1 then
I will clarify
Tier one internationals
Maumalo ok give you that one NZ

Someone watched them for 10 minutes and has written them off. Better go and tell Hartigan he's a fool.

Both were being lazy 10 minutes into a game and showing a complete lack of urgency or effort

Does that sound eerily familar ....???

Yeah EXACTLY what this club needs .....

Maybe the board and support staff want the club to get relocated to a warmer / better environment

He’s signing ESL players, while the Dogs are signing JAC, Burton, Dufty and TPJ. Fool seems like an appropriate word.

And in 2017-18 we signed Reynolds, Packer, Matulino, and Mbye. How did that go?

Not sure why there is a love affair with the dogs in this forum, they have more room in their salary cap because they have a roster who has won 2 games all season.

Burton is a great get for the dogs, Burton and Brooks would have looked good for us oh well

Maybe .....we need a good organizing half still .....lets Brooks concentrate on his running game 1st and foremost

maybe we dont as some have said we have 4 internationals in out backline
in case anyone forgot ...

So because we have a bad experience, we should never go for big names again? Bold strategy Cotten.

Disturbingly, I don't know that he is.

Hopefully Sheensy can give him some 1 on 1 coaching to get his game to NRL standard.

The 4 i named are established NRL first graders. 3 have played over 100 games, and the other is a future club captain. That alone puts them ahead of the Pom.

I didn't ask about number first grade games I asked about internationals in our backline and you gave me 1 Kiwi who has played 1 game for us and 3 tier 2 internationals

Gildart will be ok I think it's his third game back from injury or something

Do you think English internationals are on the same level as Australian and NZ?

They're better than the American internationals.

I watched about 10 minutes of the Huddersfield v Wigan game ..and his tackle attempt on McQueen when McQueen scores was pathetic ......

Don't worry Hastings doesn't miss out .....three forwards are trying to put the ballcarrier down in a tackle in the lead up ...Hastings is standing tell everyone to go right and left when he should have been tying up the ballcarriers hands .....get the pass away to half who then hits McQueen .....

We got some Pommie Duds everyone .....yayyyyy.....

But but Hastings is going to save us from Brooks....right?

Hastings = Cronk ,Sterling ,Langer and Mortimer in some eyes ...yet is playing as the leader in a Wigan side looking at having it worst season since the late 70's / early 80's

And Gildart is in the same side

I hope they are both tanking big time ......

They both took Wigan to the grand final last year, and Hastings took lowly Salford to the grand final the year before that. Wigan this year have been butchered by injuries, and players are out of position (including Hastings).
