Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[weststigers]

The same Beau Fermor that made SOO this season, PMXIII, averages over 120 running metres in the backrow this season, has a 93% tackle efficiency, averages 4 tackle busts a game???

Utoikamanu also made origin. Douehi made the squad. Max King starting prop. Over to you.

 

[Needaname]

According to Buzz (Triple M NRL podcast), Beau Fermor & Alofiana Khan-Pereira being shopped by their agents.

We'd be stupid not to investigate Fermor if this has legs.

Well that could be the parramatta forward then with it being reported by Buzz whom also announced they are set to sign someone.

Also mate, who did Fermor beat to the position? They have zero depth there.

 

[Westoz]

Beau Fermor is a quality player, shines in an average titans side, he’s better then Fifita

Probably as Ryles seems to be a smart operator.

It shouldn’t be an argument, but our ratio is the total opposite of the Bulldogs ratio and we are also at opposite ends of the ladder.

and yet, here you are arguing.

Was pretty ballsy for him to come in and immediately get rid of Mattereon, Cartwright and put Hopgood on the back burner. Looks like it’s paying off.

don't think Fermor would look at us unfortunately.

he's ripe for a side with a premiership window wide open.

Beau Fermor would instantly make our team better.

The Titans have a very good squad despite their lowly position on the ladder. Dare I say, their supporters have even more cause for frustration that us.

 

[Odessa]

I don't think that accurately reflects the situation.

You're right in that not everyone makes it, but you keep as many as you can as long as you can to maximise your odds. You then need to be good at identifying talent within and without of that group.

The Warren and Tim show just signed them all up to overs too early, on too-high a tier contract (often with guaranteed Top 30) and hence we've found ourselves trying to dig out of it for the last few years.

It is THE reason why depth has been an issue. There's no room for decent replacements because those who have been available in the squad when needed are not even in the conversation about being ready, much less ready to step up and do a job.

Mate when other clubs are coming for them and your the sh!tt club of the comp you have to offer up something for them to stay

Would you rather play Flegg for the Tigers with no door to first grade or play Flegg for the roosters with no door way but a great club well managed and look after you at every level

The tigers have to offer overs

If it was not for Sheen's with Teddy paying overs when he was a junior he was off to the Dragon's

 

[tigahhh]

It doesn’t matter, it’s just the way it is.

pointing it out is weird af

These were obvious. He's no genius.

Like saying getting rid of Brooks was a masterstroke. Ballsy even.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Utoikamanu also made origin. Douehi made the squad. Max King starting prop. Over to you.

Beau Fermor is a country boy hard head, strong on both sides of the ball & rarely shirks effort. Already better that Stefano & Doueihi.

I know right. We’ve skyrocketed.

Your argument was he made origin. Makes 120m a game and 93% tackle efficiency.

I can show you backrowers with more missed tackles that are far better. Go have a look at Hudson Youngs missed tackles. He's in the top 30 in the NRL. Twal barely misses too...origin level you think?

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

You have to love this place.
Ryles is a shrewd, smart operator.
Benji's an imbecile who hasn't got a clue.
Wests Tigers : 7 wins
Parra: 6 wins

Nobody hates on the Wests Tigers better than Wests Tigers fans.

 

[Vicious]

and yet, here you are arguing.

Someone else brought it up, not me.
That person got criticised for bringing it up and I was pointing out we do have a much higher percentage of players with Polynesian descent than what the majority of other NRL clubs do,
Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing is irrelevant, but the numbers and percentage is factual.

 

[weststigers]

I know right. We’ve skyrocketed.

Benji is the best coach we've had at the club in 4 years going off wins. One more win he equals the best coach in 5 years.

Before you criticise us, be fair in your assessment. He's at least trying to build something. 1st year with a new squad and you piddle your pants if we're not carving up the top 8.

I'll reserve my judgement after seeing what happens next year. Be patient. You've got unrealistic expectations.

Further to that, Toa was in the Knights system for about 4 years before making his debut, always had the reputation of having tons of ability, but a lazy attitude along with a soft mentality with injuries. I've seen nothing since that changes that.

to’a could be the best centre in the game if he really wanted to be, has all the talent
