Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Some people's time span is extremely short!
Just several years back, we had Tedesco, Koroibete, JAC, Simona, and Lawrence with Farah and Marshall but no forwards!
The forward's value, for us, is demonstrated right there for anyone who argues, "Just buy us several wingers", and presto!
People forget that all champion teams had at least two to three 1st class props and other forwards >> WT forwards!
The house's quality relies on its foundations, and the addition of any AC and satellite internet could not improve its quality!

Hey guys so during my time in Prison I became friends with a lot of CO's & still have some close contacts. Anyways, I reached out to a few of them who have been watching over Payne Haas's mum & she's told them that he'll be signing for us next season on a 5 year deal !!! Apparently when Benji was at Brisbane he took Haas under his wing & was a good mentor for him. How good is that 🔥🔥🔥

We would need to go higher than 800k. Bula is on 800k ffs. The best winger in the world will want 900k, and that's fair enough.

We need to change the culture at the club, releasing losers and signing winners is how we do that.

We don't have many/any other players on big money long term, most clubs have 2-3 players on close to a million. You want to have a few elite players and then some cheapies to round out the 30. Having a squad full of Nadens, Toa's and Staine's on 350-400k kills the club. Having Too on 900k + Saukuru on 150k is so much better than having Naden Toa and Staines for the same value.

Of course we just need to release the deadwood, yet again.

800K... WOW!!! that's gotta buy a lot of lattes on the high falutin Balmain/Rozelle coffee strip.
And I hope those coffees help him to perform at a higher level in '25 to show us he is worth the $$$ he is being paid.

Was in Turkey only a few weeks ago. I bought a chicken. Organic. The chicken spoke to me, it's like we could understand each other, the chicken said that it heard from the pig that we are gonna buy another player before the season starts. I saved the chicken. Let it go. There was a bond there plus I believed it.

Did your chicken come with mushrooms? Lol

Miles?

Like NRL first grade coaching experience miles?

Morris has over 50 NRL games coaching experience. How many does Hodgo have?

I said 3 coaches - You can count right?
Before this 'plan' took off
1 - Benji
2 - Farah
3 - Heighno
had zero games coaching experience at senior level. (Any level really)

Compared to that, Make Hodgo look like Wayne Bennett

I also like all the posts about how much better we're gonna be next year, With a few more runs behind the squad.
I'm betting Klemmer, Twal, Bateman & Api don't progress next year - And they had their arse handed to them this year.
For every player going forward in the top 17, There's one going backward....
Young blokes will have to really come on to negate that.

We could really use some bloody luck!!!

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Top teams don't. No luck.

DT Sport Confidential:

FACE THE CONSEQUENCES’: BENJI’S HIGH EXPECTATIONS

Wests Tigers players have been left in no doubt about what is expected from them when they return to pre-season training in November after the club delivered some home truths in their exit interviews.

It is understood the players were told that they needed to return to pre-season in tip-top shape or face the consequences.

The Tigers have won three straight wooden spoons and a fourth will be unacceptable given the club has secured some big signings for next year, chief among them Penrith superstar Jarome Luai, his premiership-wining teammate Sunia Turuva and Cronulla prop Royce Hunt.

The Tigers remain in the market and have been linked with a handful of players including Marcelo Montoya and Brisbane’s Kobe Hetherington – Hetherington is expected to visit the club’s headquarters next week.

However, they may choose to keep their powder dry and watch how the summer unfolds before making any further moves.

The club’s existing players have also been told to arrive back at training in good condition as the club looks to give coach Benji Marshall the best chance to lead a revival.

The message appears to have had the desired effect – a number of the club’s young stars were still working out in the facilities this week in a bid to ensure they hit the ground running next season.

Meanwhile, premiership-winning hero Brett Hodgson is among the coaches being considered as Marshall looks to strengthen the ranks of his assistants next season.

Hodgson, a teammate of Marshall in the 2005 grand final win and a life member of the Tigers, was most recently a member of Eddie Jones’ staff with the Wallabies, acting as their defensive coach.

He has previously been on the Tigers coaching staff as an assistant.

Well it looks like we are looking after our old boys once again...

Looks like we are trying to get a fair dinkum Wests Tigers atmosphere and attitude into our club by employing genuine legends.
If Brett Hodson was good enough for Eddie Jones to use someone outside Rugby as an assistant, that seems pretty good to me.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

We don't want a Wests Tigers atmosphere. We need a winning atmosphere.

I know a few CO’s and prisoners will not talk to them. Only a snitch talks to the CO’s
