Wow, I can't believe they got him. Will be a gun (though the GC are career killers)

Pressure surely on us now when even the Titans are able to land a big fish...

They have him, we have Stefano.

This isn't official yet either. Who knows, maybe we're making a last minute play for both him and Arrow?

If we paid $650k a year for someone who's played a handful of games, this forum would've blown up deluxe.

 

[Newtown]

Can't make 1st grade join WT

Career coming to an end looking for one more big payout join WT

In your prime join anyone but WT

Make 1st grade and your actually good, Leave WT immediately

Pretty much reminds me of what Pacoes said yesterday "We have many players who want to come to Wests tigers"

The Storm kid is rated much higher than ours.

He is younger and already played NRL and did well.

Not knocking our bloke, but the Storm kid is potentially going to be great. I am legit shocked the Titans have got him. Of all the teams....the Titans.

Still pisses me off that parra who signed matterson off us wont let stefano go expecially with the depth they have in the front row.

Yep.....

And after Pascoe's 'Matterson won't be going anywhere unless there is something in it for Wests Tigers' rhetoric.

Yet we could not even jag a dev player's release / Parra got a NSW 18th man two years early.....

I don't know how or why people keep defending our management when other clubs just come and take who they want / even our coach years before deals end...

that's the general consensus. My mates like to say "Wests tigers feeder club for the NRL"



Close but its actually... West Tigers Organ doners of The NRL...

Or at times the NRL scrapyard.

Because we're running at a profit......Supposedly, maybe, just gonna assume.

He is from Gympie. Qld kid. That’s always a tough sell, especially if the opportunity is there to go home.
