Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If we don’t get Sorenson, Brad Taikarangi on a relatively cheap deal wouldn’t be a bad option at all. Would purely be depth/bench cover. Would prefer Sorenson though

With Reynolds and Packers money I would go all out in 2022 for Staggs or Crighton and Victor Radley.

With Laurie signed would not waste my time pursuing JAC.

Radley would be a top replacement for Garner. Wests Tigers could well afford this almost marquee signing for 2022. I 100% agree with you re JAC. Wests Tigers should not give home the time of day following the months long circus he conducted with the club.

Radley is an actual roosters junior. He’s not going anywhere

Wait so Roosters actually developed one of their own? Surely that's a first.


first since Luke Ricketson?
 
Maybe if Ofo is on friendly terms with Staggs WT could have an influencing factor in at least having a influencing factor to get Staggs attention in considering a WT offer for 2022 onwards.

Highly unlikely Brad.T would come anywhere near Tigers after what they did to him in 2015. He signed a 3yr deal with Tigers which from memory was under Mick Potter before he was sacked.

Jason Taylor was hired not long after and the decision to cut Brad.T loose was made. Massive dog act by the club as it left Brad.T with few options and little time to secure something else as he was moving down from Gold Coast to joing Tigers.

I didn’t know about that to be honest. He doesn’t have many options and we’ve got completely different coaching so he might’ve changed his mind (if we were to try sign him)

I’ve heard that he was choosing not to play first grade this year anyway and wanted to focus on something else.

I like Tamu as captain and BROOKS as vice captain.Madge can tell Mybe he wants to take the pressure from him.HA!

What pressure did MBye ever experience as Wests Tigers captain? That was another rubbish decision made by Cleary.

I'm struggling to fit Mbye into the side .. let alone being Capt .. ?? .. Tamou will be tough to beat for Capt this season ..

Pretty sure he'll be in the starting 17 for Rd1 though .. as Madge will likely go with Liddle at (and likes to have a back up hooker type on the bench which could be Simpkin.) Simpkin's is 3 cms shorter than Liddle, but they weigh the same weight at 91kgs.

Is Mbye's contract up at the end of this season .. ??

Mmbye end of 2022
round one with AD out Mmbye probably goes to 1 and Reynolds to 6 with possibly Simpkins on bench

Mbye I reckon was the media captain, I will give it to him he represents himself well in front of the camera

Marshall and Lawrence (when he played) were our real captains/leaders on field

(Just a guess

So many of Wests Tigers juniors went away to other clubs. What's the difference. Oops I might have hit a nerve.


what nerve? not sure what you mean by that

Roosters have a single junior that is pretty (really) good. No chance he goes anywhere.

Who knows, I think Tamou should be captain next year.
 
I agree Tamou should probably be captain, but wouldn't be opposed Brooks possibly as captain, merely as a psychological tactic for Luke to help him feel like 'the man'
