I'm fed up with the unbridled enthusiasm some people have towards the team.

Absolutely hilarious…...seriously thats so sad its hysterical.

:laughing:

That right there will do me. Its called supporting your team. I have followed Balmain and now the Tigers all my life and for the majority of that time, not only were they not in semi's they werent even competitive. Things are different now and despite the fact that we have only made the 8 1 in 10, any objective observer would think there are many positives with this team,

I couldn't agree more Glenn, there is too much negativity on here, I too have followed this team my whole life and through a lot tougher times than we currently face.

Please stay on topic folks.

I just heard battling Benny Elias who is a guest on today's talkin Sport and he was speaking to Wests Tigers supporter BBQ Bob when he was clearly confident the Tigers would announce 2 more signings.

He didn't say when but he did say that they maybe first announced on 2SM?

Mate I hope you are right and they are the ones we want. Cmon Lote and Lima.

 

[fainty]

I just sent them an email asking when we would hear about lote - benny said lote has enrolled his son into school at balmain and that he and his wife were very happy living in the area. He said that lote would be playing rugby league next year, he said 99% it would be for the mighty tiges.

Hey I read in the paper that Lote Tiquri is coming to the Wests Tigers. Does anyone know if this is true ??

Anyone else hear any whispers of big Patty Richards looking at coming back in 2011 ?

I dont know why we are trying so hard to get so much of our 2005 team back.. I think its time to move on and bring through some new players.

Yep we gotta let it go (yes it's there in the record books and will remain one of the best days of my life) but I agree, lets build a new champion side. We certainly have the talent coming through the ranks and some brilliant talent on the footy field. Lets use it! (Fitzy can stay in NSW Cup imo).

Jesus that bait wasn't even wet….Richards isn't coming back........

Scott Prince on the other hand?....All can't be well on the Coast?

Those laffranchi rumours seem to have died.

Settle down bro', it's a whisper and this is a rumour thread.

Anyways the last two players I heard about coming back have, lets see if this whisper comes to fruition.

Richards re-signs with Wigan

Wigan Warriors are pleased to announce that Australian star, Pat Richards, has signed a new three-year contract with the Club which will keep him at the JJB Stadium **until the end of 2011**.

Wigan may let him go…..

Those laffranchi rumours seem to have died.

They were very real. Then allegedly it depended on Bird going to the Gold Coast. Birds court matter (appeal) was pushed back to now. If Bird is there then Laffarnchi might be at Wests Tigers in 2010\. One problem is the situation with Chris Walker.

 

[Balmain_Tiger]

every year these pat richards rumours return. i think only one of them was true when he wasnt getting enough games like his contract said he would be. 5 years on though im sure we can invest in a young superstar in the making, instead of buying 30 yr olds

 

[Spartan117]

Dont Need Pat Richards as much as he ia a WT favorite.

Many wingers on the roster now.

Just saw Danny Weidler on Channel 9 news and he reckons the Tigers have been in discussions with Willie Mason's agent for the last 48 hours. Steve Humphreys said he found it surprising he still didn't have a club. Please, not us.
