Signing Rumours..

[GNR4LIFE]

As crazy as it sounds, i think the club from top to bottom is finally on the same page.

Yep, me too and it features the classic words, "The End".

Judging by the improvement on the ladder, i'd say they are heading in the right direction.

Why settle for Proctor…Taumalolo is available in 2018...that guy can play...

I agree… that's not asking much is it Geo ? :laughing: . Boy that would be a dream signing , it would give so many of our forwards good momentum taking a hit up after a Taumalolo carry...nothing wrong with dreaming .
It seems Cowboys are well and truly trying to wrap him up going of this article .

I stumbled across this Podcast which was an interesting listen ( Not sure if it's been posted here ) it was the views of Nathan Ryan , Ben Glover and Ben Ikin . It talks about there opinion on how they think our Season really went and what lays ahead for us . At the 7 minute mark of the Podcast they start talking about Wests Tigers and then 13 and half minutes into the Podcast Justin Pascoe is interviewed .

Very refreshing report from Pascoe and a good insight , it seems that Jason Taylor is held in high regard by the people within our Organisation.

My apologies if this has been on already.

I see your Cowboys lock up article and raise you this

It's what our management and recruitment team should be aiming for…

I noticed that Ken Sio is eyeing a return to the NRL but what amazes me is that Penrith have shown interest in the guy, not to mention the Knights. How many outside backs do the Panthers need, I realise the Jennings boys and Hardcastle have moved on and that DWZ & Whare have been linked to other clubs but at this stage are still on the Panthers books. Some clubs such as Panthers, Sharks & Broncos in particular are linked to every player coming off contract.

Not that Sio is a world beater but the Tigers surely need outside backs yet no mention of them being in discussions, however we supposedly came in with a late offer for Tony Williams which indicates there may be some room left under the cap (or this may eventuate once Sirro or Kev or both are moved on).

Ken Sio is a world beater compared to Kev and Rankin.

Don't worry Sunny Queen will come in with a TPA and lock Taumalolo in with the Cowboys :laughing:

i thought cherrington had a lot of promise when he started but in the last two years has gone backwards. Liddle, long term who knows - i think he looks slick when he plays. Anyone who gets praise for preseason has to be given credit, i can't recall where i heard it but a retired FG said "players don't retire because of games they retire cause they don't want to go through another preseason"

I note that Sharks have just signed Mortimer as a "replacement" for Ennis. Will be interested to see how that works out.

Zero Tackle reporting Canberra have released Jarrad Kennedy to a rival club. Anyone know what club?

Did Pascoe say that "JT has the full support and confidence of the Board ??

Love that!!

You may be disappointed GCT, as I think it is real in this case, rather than the kiss of death for now.

I was joking, you may be right,but in most cases it is the best indication that someone's on his way to getting the chop.

Sharks supporters believe our fine young back Roman I (surname I can't remember) but a fine talent with genuine pace has gone to them. I recall our Academy head speaking highly of this fellow. If true, seems someone in our organisation doesn't rate fast backs.

A liitle bit irrelevant however, good ol Ali's facebook rumors has our memberships currently at 9857!

Thats surely the earliest ive seen the tigers approach 10k…

Whole club on the same page for once. A bit of unity for a change, even considering the unpleasantness surrounding Farah's departure and the general consensus that JT isn't the bloke to take us forward.

2017 will be an interesting year.

Lets hope "interesting" means good and not the chinese curse variety.

Interesting had neither a positive or negative reference.

Talking sport lads criticising the Tigers for having 21 from 25 players off contract for 2018 onwards. With the new salary cap unconfirmed aren't we in the same if not a similar boat to the rest of the comp?

I can't remember the last time Peter Tunks had anything positive to say about the Tigers.

Aah, Peter Tunks..

The only bloke that could possibly leave me begging for more Steve Blocker Roach on the radio. :laughing:

OMG, people still listen to that ill informed garbage, I gave up when Robbo went to the darkside of AFL.
