Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TigerTone]

yup exactly everything ennis said is correct, we simply cant attract anyone and now its becoming so evident no one wants to come to Tigers.. Im not bothered about Thompson on that money but i just cant see any future and that is so worrying. The young kids look good but they cant do it on their own..Questions have to be asked of Madge now but nothing will change as we all know. Pascoe will just say we have a centre of Excellence next year and the club is going well financially. Unfortunately all we care about are on field results and Pascoe doesnt care about that.

Good old Ennis - always good for a baggin' (he did it on the field like a grub, and is doing it off the field).

What is the solution Ennis?

What do the Tigers do to attract players Ennis?

Oh! they don't want to go to the Tigers, the tigers aren't interested in being a retirement home (like they have been), the Tigers just aren't interested in buying losers or the Tigers aren't interested in paying massive overs (like they have previously).

Well, well, what is your answer dopey? Big on putting the boot in but like most of your comments on fox, you don't back it up with answers.

As a commentator or analyst - you would make a great bricklayer.

I suggest you leave us to work out our problems and try and help the "Dogs" work out how to stay under the cap.

Agree mate.
Easy for these flogs to bag us but no solutions.
I'm sure they have seen or been in similar situations in their careers

Well all the ex footballers turn commentators are usually blokes who had successful careers, you don’t see many Nofoalumas or Brooks type players end up calling the game, what would they bring to the table besides a wealth of knowledge about losing.
And I agree they don’t really offer solutions but can you?
I can’t.
Until we start winning games and blood some more quality juniors who can actually play as a unit we are not going to attract the personal we need.
If it was a job and you had the chance of joining a successful business in a Coastal town like Newcastle or Cronulla or Bondi, Or a place out west that struggles year after year what would you choose?
Penrith are a great example of what we need to emulate to be where we all wish our club could be.
Stack the team with juniors that have played together for a few years and know each other, create an atmosphere they don’t want to leave, give them time to because it won’t happen overnight.
This ideal that buying a crop of big names and becoming dominant is not an option for us so stop thinking it is.
Juniors are the only way this club will ever get out of the cellar.


This is what we need to keep together...

Ben is a very articulate young man. Very strategic in his thinking and thankful for the opportunities in the Wests Tigers system.

All these Jersey Flegg boys and HM & SG Ball players and the Juniors to come are being destroyed by this bloody Flu!

This is the real human tragedy folks - our kids are being denied their natural growth as humans by a dodgy bug no more dangerous than the Flu or Common Cold.

It can't continue like this.

I bloody hope it doesn't continue like this.
Just hearing those youngsters talk and say the things
they were saying , is like a breath of fresh air.
The fact that they're so tight with coaching staff and all involved in the lower grades and hold them in such high regard is just brilliant.
Im hoping the lot of them are kept in our system and grow together and come through , because it will go a long way to getting us out of this rut in years to come.

Don’t know if this is the right place for it but saw this on Facebook.
Ok Tigers Fans here’s some updates and information I’ve received from the Club.

The Wests Tigers are in Discussions and are Signing the Required Nsw Cup and Jersey Flegg players they want and believe will take the club forward but hasn’t elaborated names , they are in the market for other available talent but have been told they have targets but will keep all this in house.

The Rumours surrounding Luke Thompson and Jayden Sullivan were false and inaccurate although they did show little interest with Thompson’s manager but there was only one small discussion between the two parties and no offers were made.

I mentioned linking with a Qld Cup side to the Wests Tigers Club I.E Brisbane Tigers or similar to get more talent scouts out n about in Qld and to be able to use their facilities in situations like we’re seeing now and during Qld games for the Tigers and for a great club location to hold fan days etc , he really liked the idea and said there’s merit in looking into it plus he will discuss this with Sheens and his Pathways Dept.

They are currently looking for a Halves Coach for our current Halves and putting the Johns Brothers 1st to approach among others and I’ve been told to stay tuned.

I asked about whether their will be any changes to our Assistant Coaches and I was told it’s in discussion and this process will take shape now and take some time.

Regarding a Boutique Home Ground Stadium ive been told they are working towards it and are working with the state government and councils to achieve this Goal - this is a process mate is what was relayed to me.

The Wests Tigers are heading in the right direction in the necessary areas.
They have many platforms and programs in place with a plan to build towards regular onfield success and that it will take time mate.

From the fox sports article,

Israel Ogden and Etuale Junior Lui Toeava are two of those promising prospects.

The pair’s manager, Dixon McIver, said Maguire has personally told him last week he would like to keep both but a move to Queensland could also be on the cards.

“Madge’s words to me were: ‘We have put a lot of work into those boys and we would like to see that come to fruition’ but it comes down to them being in the right place to do that too,” he told foxsports.com.au.

He said Maguire “cares a lot about grassroots players” but the constant movement of the NRL squad due to the coronavirus pandemic has not helped him “keep his fingers on the pulse”.

Are these kids not already signed. You have got to be kidding. So the old pathways talk is just that - Talk.

You can't force them to sign

They would be looking at their options like all other players do

It doesn't mean we haven't been trying to sign them or that they are not prepared to sign

Just seeing what else is out there as anyone else would too

Surely the cream of our junior teams are signed by now or are we a pathways for other clubs.

If we have identified them no doubt they are on other clubs radars as well. No protection for our club to keep our juniors and why - the CEO, some stability in the management of the club, and our treatment of players all need to be competitive with other clubs.

So do we get rid of all our injured players do we. Lets hope Tamou stays in that moon boot then.
