Anybody who saw him play today would be super impressed. This guy is better than Latrell Mitchell and if Wests Tigers don't sign him very soon there will be a lot of unhappy disappointed Wests tigers supporters.

He would be a handy acquisition without doubt, but people need to look at our team in context - our halves suck and our fullback lacks speed. JAC would come back to the field a hell of a lot. We need to start somewhere though.

Sign Taupau's son up now

Always remember Marty coming off the bench as a big bopper for us at Leichhardt.

We have other needs but outside backs is one of them. We need to start upgrading as players in positions of need become available, that is exactly what JAC is.

People forget that he plays with a hamstring injury (look at his right leg, bandaged from the knee up),
I believe that he will be much faster once he recovers. Even with this injury, he run in the last game over 200m, something we can only wish that two or even three of our forwards achieve together ! 😛ray:

I understand he may also need surgery on his ankle at season's end. I don't think he's our long term solution at 1 though, I think he could be our 6 if he gets his body right.

The season has ended..why not get it done now...without risking further injury..same goes with Mikaele or anyone else requiring surgery ..

Yeah fair point, anyone who needs surgery should be booked in now.

Get it done then get into pre season makes sense

Spot on.... Also buying him will indeed help us attract other players to the club as well.
we just need to get that 1st quality player over the line and others will come..
I say we need to make this happen ASAP before other clubs create space and make it harder for us.

I agree with that. No point risking further injury. He should have it done ASAP to enable the best recovery. There should be no excuses next season.

So Madge mentioned that there were some hard workers beneath the First Grade squad that he will be looking at. Other than Simpkin, Bradley and Madden, any idea who else he may have in mind? Particularly forwards? Also, can't he only pick form the 36 man squad?

My only two picks he hasn’t used yet Simpkin and madden who live together I think

Congratulations @mikey_tannous signing a 2 year deal with the @nrl_weststigers. Lots of hard work starting to pay off for this young man. Hopefully more hard work and bigger things to come #nrl #weststigers #youngguns

Young 5/8 from Balmain, does anyone know if it is a development signing?

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

After tonight's display why don't we offer Brooks, Momirovski and Talau for Grant and JAC??
Give Brooks and Talau a year under Bellamy - and it could do them wonders - and we should go and target young Brayden Trindall from Sharks.
Staggs would also be a dream to have in this team.
Also feel someone of Walmsley's build would be good - a bulldozer type with limited minutes.

Though Benji's a bit unpopular on here atm, think he deserves to be considered as a halves coach and someone like ET could be great for our defensive coaching also - he's got one of the best techniques in the game.

We need to go after the best coaches, not rookies.

I agree and I'm not sure who mentioned it when I suggested Matty Johns, but we'll have limited finances for these types of resources once the the squad sizes decrease. Basically a throwaway suggestion who may possibly do it cheaper. That's all.

But so many claim we're one of the few clubs that make a profit? We so proudly say we're profitable but then say we're poor to excuse failure.

Well a few weeks back..there was a meeting with Pascoe attended by a few from here and I can tell you they increased the spend on the football dept bring in Hartigan from the Rorters and Gray from the Sharpies as well as dietitian's new physio's and sports science guys, various equipment even a barber..the spend was increased by close to 2mill on the previous 3 seasons

Hartigan Gray and Maguire all come from successful Clubs who won Premierships with their respective Clubs whilst there..

The money is going where it needs to go..yes we are all sick of waiting but often just throwing money at something doesn't fix it..

Thanks for the info. You could have shared that a few weeks ago when I questioned you on it.
So we can afford specialist coaches and not Benji and Elijah. Let's do that hey, and sack the barber.

Wait, is the barber a joke?

No..you know the younger generation..hair is very important..they actually think it's a great thing..

That's brilliant. I'll make sure I pledge my membership for next year knowing they are paying for a barber. And people cry poor that we can't afford to compete with the rich clubs.
Why doesn't Pascoe use him?


You understand the spend on support staff can't be used in the salary cap for players, don't you? Who cares if they spend dollars on a barber - its from a separate allocation from the NRL. We have been spending under the cap for support staff so why not spend a bit more and bring in these type of initiatives.

I think support staff like specific coaches would be better than a barber. But hey, it's not my money.

We didn’t really employ a barber did we? I thought that was a joke.

No, I'm told it's true. By Geo and another.

It's even being built into the COE..

I thought that was what you were referring to.
