Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[JC99]

Hey ..... we got our rumours thread back!
Almost lost hope.

Not been many actual rumours. Still no names of who we are after though 😂

Currently in the mix with 3 players but all contracted. Back line depth the major concern.
Centre, Wing & a 2nd Row/Centre are there positions.
Sam McIntyre close to signing 2 year extension.
Alex Seyfarth unlikely to be retained, good chance to also be loaned to the Warriors.
Esienhuth was not going to be offered a contract but that has since changed, although 1 year deal likely.

Cheers POM love your info, do you have any news even in the slightest regarding the Harry Grant situation.... is there a clause, are we any chance to retain him even on a 1 year extra loan agreement or for him to stay permanently ?

It's all being played very coy, both clubs coming out saying loan deal stands, this is purely to save face as the NRL made it pretty clear when this was being agreed upon that it needs to be clean & can't be a media circus. Madge has made it pretty clear a couple times "these things have a way of working themselves out."
He 100% has a get out clause if Smith plays on, up for a huge $$$ upgrade if he plays it smart. Could ask for a release when Smith makes his mind up & cash in.

Thanks mate, while I have you on the topic of Melbourne Storm - is one of the 3 players JAC, do we still have a interest in him or willing to offer a trade package for him?

Cheers will these be for 2021 or any possibilities for this year?

For this year, if we can get 2 before August 3rd then mission accomplished but should jag at least 1 & then upgrade from with for final spot, most likely Brad Abbey.

Good to know. No issues in keeping Eisenhuth around, he's playing well and we need good forward depth which he provides. Does Madge happen to rate Matheson Johns at all? He looked likely in the trials.

im nervous with these sacking a club may target Madge

Don’t be nervous Jedi...Madge knows his onto something great here at the WT and backs his coaching abilities of self belief/loyalty/confidence that will win the playing group over and fans alike - after all who has more passion then us WestsTigers fans...

And I also think any coach that goes to the Broncos is a walking dead man and will be the fall guy to all their issues at the moment, needs a broom swept through it from the top to bottom (if I was a share holder in the Broncos pty Ltd I’d be demanding it- show me the money) Seibold thought he was going to get the easiest gig coaching, well didn’t that back fire superbly.😏

Think ourselves lucky we have got what we got.

Thanks POM - appreciate every snippet you provide.

Will keep my fingers crossed for a good outcome.

Saab is definitely one.

Yeah I would think so. He’s still pushing for a release and we need wingers. Would be a handy pickup I think, let’s see if dragons let him go or not.

Looks like Paul Green has been given the flick by the cowboys now. There's a few coaching jobs up for grabs now.

 

[JC99]

Two weeks until the player transfer deadline. Would expect the movements to heat up, issue is majority of clubs need to sign players due to injury and they’ll all be hesitant to release anyone 😂

 

[Wombat]

please dont sign Saab he is a dud
As far as Grant goes if he has the chance to get a big payrise as if he and his management wont tell melbourne where to go

You know a quality winger when you see one 😆

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Milford to play fullback this week for Broncos

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Sorry Wombat ? i forgot Saab has been killing it for Dragons... good grief

 

[Geo]

Euan Aitken is a back..

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

No mention of Euan aitken Geo ????

 

[tigger19]

I'm thinking Aitken or Naden as the Centre,And takairangi as the 2nd row/centre

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Dont mention Aitken it is not allowed ....
i think a better signing than Saab

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I'm thinking Aitken or Naden as the Centre,And takairangi as the 2nd row/centre

Takairangi would be an awful signing. 3 or 4 years past his used by date. Might as well re-sign ET

 

[JC99]

I don’t rate Taka. Naden is a solid player

Prefer Burton.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

did we have Taka a few years ago and JT said no and sent him to Parra ?
Burton would be handy
