Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[avocadoontoast]

Comments suggesting it doesn't matter as they're only reserve graders are missing the point. These players were identified by us and we made them offers. They turned us down. There is no point having a youth strategy if we're unable to sign them.

We made them offers based on..?

The Pom. Do you believe the Pom's information to be incorrect?

I take all rumours with a grain of salt..

The Pom said HSS management contacted our management to say he's re-signing with Canberra. Why did they do that? Or are you saying they didn't do that and The Pom just made it up?

Don't know wasn't privy to the conversation..

Tbh i'd be more likely to believe what the Pom tells us than Pascoe and co..

The vast majority of NRL players will resign with their current clubs. This is not an issue unique to Wests Tigers. Do you think the Wests Tigers were the only club that identified either of these guys?

They are not the only two players we've gone after. We've gone after many other players that have signed with rival clubs.

But we have signed players from rival clubs as well? There are 16 clubs, you can’t sign them all, at least we identified them, if we did in fact make offers?

Not for next year we haven't. We've signed sweet bugger all.

We’ve signed 26 players for next year.

So what? We are a club that isn’t very attractive because we have spent so much time near the bottom. That won’t change overnight.

You conveniently ignore all the junior talent we have signed because we missed out on 2.

What junior talent have we signed for next year? Can you point me in that direction?

Who have we added to the roster so far, other than 2 ESL players?

Geez now we're whining over missing a reserve grader and a bench player. Might have been good for depth, but they're no better than what we already have.

I think the point is we can’t even attract those kinds of players. Good luck signing anyone more established.

Like Maumalo?

"Hey guys, we know you weren't interested in HSS but just wanted to tell you he's staying with Canberra as a courtesy"

So you want me to name players we have signed without naming the players we have signed? ?‍♂️

We've missed out on a lot more than two unless of course we didn't really make them an offer at all -

TPJ
JAC
LM
AJ Brimson
Lomax
Jai Arrow
HSS
Egan

I actually think Madge and co are playing the waiting game for recruitment but are concentrating on extending and dealing with our great young talent....remember Madge wants to build from within so we have a long and prosperous future...I can see his methodology and it CAN succeed given time...

Waiting for what? We have a lot of spots to fill and the sooner we start filling spots the better. They should already have an idea of who they want to sign and be targeting them. We have a bad habit of leaving it too long and having no choice but to fill our final roster spots with nobodies

No player wants to come and play for Madge, we have no choice but to work from within, we need some half decent players to mix with the young blokes, not sure where we are getting them from though

We know they were after TPJ, JAC, HSS and Egan Butcher. We know Madge called Vaughan. We know we didn't sign any of them.
