The bit I read on Scott coming to us suggested it might just be a loan type deal for the balance of this season to cover WT injury issues.
Hope not.
We need him for a few years.
Why would Canberra help us like that?
We're both competing for the final spot in the 8....
They're trying to agitate for a move with Brooks.
We aren't on good terms lol.
Brooks’ kicks were going where he wanted and he played well last couple of games. Something has pumped up his tyres?
Maybe he's realise it's time to prove his worth and take control.
He doesn't want to play for the Raiders - who would ?
With all the shopping talk, which is coming from the raiders end... not ours... it looks like he's realising Tigers is his team and his home.
Jeez what a story ?
He went to Canberra to get out of Sydney so he could stay out of trouble so what better move then to come back to Sydney and play for a team that is in a constant rabble and a coach that seems to have players in a revolt every few weeks. Yeah he’s only young but he’s hardly matured. No better support system than your piss head mates you know live a small drive away from.
No one is fixing their Career here. Plus what a waste of time for an immediate transfer. Even if we signed him today, he’d play 4 games and we won’t make the 8 anyway.
It’s just as upsetting to me as anyone about all the big targets we’ve missed lately but this reeks of desperation.
If the club go through with this or any potential deal for woods, we’ve learned nothing and don’t deserve better.
Wasn't Tpg's past behaviour just as bad and everyone was all over signing him?
Exactly.
The forum got it's collective panties in a bunch over missing out on a bikie associate.
There' a whole lot of selective morality on here.
For those unaware,
Bikie culture has infiltrated street gang scene.
A lot of the street gangs start of as ethnic friend groups such as African/Sudanese in some areas, middle Eastern or Polynesian backgrounds.
A lot of Polynesian street gangs in Sydney from different areas... the bikies recruit from within so nowadays bikie gangs have a lot of Polynesian members, middle Eastern members, etc.
TPJ being Tongan may have been life long friends with some guy who is now affiliated...
@willow I'm sure can confirm but yeah, the bikies aren't just old aussie rockers with long hair anymore.
Modern bay Bikies are predominantly made up of people of Middle East and Polynesian descent. As you said, they’re around it from a young age and it can be hard to escape.
One of the main reasons for TPJ moving back to Sydney is because of his recent conversion to Islam which I heard he is taking very seriously
Payne Haas is of the same faith.
Well he's picked the right club to join if he's serious, I'm sure Hazem is still involved and can support him somewhat.
Only a stones throw from trouble though, like AFB's little situation of trying to balance being a sports star and an inner west soldier.
He’ll be spending a lot of time with Sonny and from what I’ve heard hes now one of the most devout muslims around. They adore him around his area.
Not sure Tevitas family is too happy about the conversion though ?
