Is Michael Tannous a Half or a Hooker...?

Hard not to get excited about this fella. Lightning acceleration, a good step and cut out pass.

The defence in that clip is atrocious bordering on comical.

I think everybody forgets this part...he’s carving up kids that play footy part time. Sure he has a gap on them. But will be a different story when he’s up against seasoned professionals, then I’ll be impressed

To put it into perspective, that defence would get you dropped from any 3rd grade Comp in regional NSW.

Might get you a start at the warilla gorillas c grade team

Channel 9 QLD reporting that dragons are offering Andrew Mcullough a 3 year deal - could mean McInnes is on the outer.

Gosh the Dragons recruitment this year has been woeful

My god why would you offer Mcullough a 3 year deal

Their recruitment and retention is awful. I know someone who’s friends with legendary recruitment officer Peter Mulholland and he said when he was there they never listened to him and just signed whoever the board wanted. On par with how bad ours was with Ivan

Just because they are league schools, doesn’t mean they aren’t kids still. 80% of those kids don’t even end up playing flegg. And it’s an even smaller percentage of them playing nrl

This isn’t discrediting him at all but it’s bold to assume he would do that at nrl level. What is clear though is he is a step ahead of his age group.

totally agree with your comments most of those kids wont go on and play NRL but i stand by my comment previously he can only play the opposition in front of him. Yes it will get much harder that's a given and obvious....lets hope he can keep it up

The war between Wests Tigers and Penrith has a new chapter with the joint venture club discussing making a major play to sign off-contract young gun Stephen Crichton for 2022

Ever since Panthers coach Ivan Cleary walked out on the final two years of his Tigers contract and doubled down by blowing kisses at a fan last season, relations between the two clubs have been about as cordial as the Australian and Indian cricket teams this summer.

The Crichton contract scenario has been on-going since the end of last year when the Panthers claimed coach Cleary had a handshake agreement for the Dally M centre to remain at the foot of the mountains.



The handshake hullabaloo has since been torpedoed meaning the Wests Tigers are currently crunching the numbers with a view to making Crichton a massive offer.

Here’s where it gets interesting. The Panthers have heard the Tigers intend to make Crichton an offer to play fullback in 2022.

Cha-ching. We all know the difference between fullback money and centre money.

Where does this leave Daine Laurie, the young gun Penrith fullback the Tigers have also signed for 2022?

The Tigers have discussed a plan where Laurie goes to five-eighth, Adam Doueihi goes into the centres and Crichton becomes fullback.

The reality is Panthers local junior Crichton is probably a snow flake’s chance in hell to want to leave his mates and his junior club out west.

Bennett won't coach Maroons in 2021

0:30

But what the Tigers offer will do is make the Panthers sharpen their pencil even more in relation to Crichton’s new contract.

The other silver lining may be the Panthers entertain releasing Laurie to join the Concord club this season.

However it shakes out, there’ll be no shortage of fireworks when the Tigers host Penrith at Leichhardt Oval in round 13 and then vice versa at Panthers Stadium in round 25.

The Panthers remain confident of retaining of NSW State of Origin squad trio Crichton, Isaah Yeo and Jarome Luai before the start of the season.



Now that's what I'm talking about
Kiss that Ivan

My god why would you offer Mcullough a 3 year deal

I thought mary was the problem!

Their poor recruitments just seem to Drag on

 

[Fingers83]

Who is this club I follow and why are they making smart recruitment decisions that put pressure on other clubs.

It can’t be Wests Tigers, it’s unheard of.

Note the distinct change in tone of reporting lately from SMH, and News ‘journos’ following suit..

Good stuff!

James hooper article old news told u a month ago he was coming to WT....

Some facts wrong surprise fullback postion has already been offered by our . coach. Our offer so far better than penrith dogs or roosters. We are very likely to have confirmation next week.

Three reasons why we get his signature better money fullback offer and our location .

 

[JC99]

As the article said severely doubt we sign Crichton. Wouldn’t even make much sense as we’d be paying Mbye big dollars still (unless he left) and we’ve got Laurie but nothing wrong with making Ivan pay a few extra bucks for him 😂

Only option would be Laurie 5:8, Doueihi centre and Crichton fullback.... which honestly would be pretty good lol
