Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Klemmer and ICE aren’t on “huge” contracts.

AFB and Luai are both free to negotiate. (Luai end of contract, AFB compassionate grounds) why do we need to provide a swap ?

We are well under salary cap, why can’t we keep Klemmer and ICE as well as sign AFB and Luai?

We can my man. And we hopefully will
Luai will be the first chip to fall. We need
to have a competitive '24 & turn the roster

That’s also a factor but I don’t think he’d be considering us if Benji wasn’t there.

Maybe not. But it will be irrelevant if he doesn’t come here. It’s a good early test for Benji. If he pulls this off, he’ll score a lot of points. If not, then it shows nothing has changed from Potter onwards.

I do think to an extent the front office especially the last few years has driven people away from signing with us. If we don’t get Luai that has to be fixed as well.

The latest news on recruitment was that pascoe took the lead on negotiations which could be interpreted as fulton is taking the lead.

The chips will fall when the review finally finishes. However, one thing for sure, the impact of the review was not well thought out and depending which way it goes could have a real negative impact for recruitment.

I'll just bookmark it here.

Agree. No need to rush which disadvantages us.

Yeah club is going great, we plan so well that our recruitment manager and our coach don't like each other so one is bagging the other every chance he gets.

He needs to pull his head in, if he can't do that then he needs to go along with those that appointed him.

Why would Benj be the draw?

1. One of the most known and respected players in the game.

2. Some see Benji as the greatest Wests Tigers player in history now taking the role of coach to guide the next lot.

3. Luai admitted to being a Benji fan growing up and now gets the chance to work alongside him on a permanent basis. I’m sure the money that’s being offered is a reason as well if he does come, but would have we gotten this far in trying to sign him if Sheens, Madge or anyone else was the coach right now? I say it’s unlikely.

Even with all that, our club is still run like a circus. There are other factors besides just Benji.

None of that is a grown up reason to sign a contract.
Sure, Benji was a respected player....probably our favourite son in this club. Sure Luai loved him as a player.
BUT as a coach, there is zero reason to sign here due to benji at this moment in time. If we are relying on his profile as a player to bring guys here, we are in trouble.
