Okay so the DTs Paul Riccio is currently reporting on NRL tonight that Paul Green is coming here. I friggen hope not.

I was thinking exactly the same when I heard he'd quit the Maroons job today.

That would be peak Wests Tigers. Then they’d spend the next 12 months convincing us that he was a current origin coach when we signed him and we just need to give him time.

Tariq Sims is a state of origin player, never takes a backward step , leads by example and trains the house down , something we desperately need , a bit like in 2004 when we bought in Scotty Sattler , a gem for the young blokes comin through

**Was** a state of origin player...pass. I want a current or future origin player.

That signing would be history repeating ffs

He was getting NSW on the front foot for most of the 2021 series. Don’t know how recent you want him to play
 
Not a chance Green will be here, I am still hoping there is a slight chance Madge gets to stay on and i’m thinkin if Sheens has a say in all this then he will.

Isn't the mail that Madge hates that sheens was appointed
 
Can we fly Sheens home somehow. I have this image of a broken man sitting alone in London and regretting his decisions. He would be ordinary at zoom too.
 
Re Green no chance he has been locked in right now it would be zero.

The board haven’t even seen the review, Madge hasn’t been told he is gone (that would be all over the place) & the role hasn’t even gone up.

This is the Wests Tigers - we are never proactive, we are 100% a reactive club.
 
Always good to see a post from Sully you talk a lot of sense mate , you know what Scotty Sattler brought to a team of young up n comers 2 years for Sims would be a great start

Wasn’t Tamou brought here for that purpose?

they spent all that money retaining Walker, the Butchers, Baker

Did Candlestick-Maker get a contract extension too?

I often chuckle to myself about that. Imagine of they had someone named Maker there too. Like Thon Maker is an actual person lol.

He’s thin and tall as well… like a candlestick.
 
James Graham and Benji talking sense.
Benji didn't put us down but pointed out that players won't go to a club without a vision they can buy into. Madge can't sell his vision.
Graham just said there's no point being a hard nose if the players don't respond to it.

Apparently he didn’t even know they were chasing him

always thought it was interesting we spruik how good the club is going but can't source him a private flight

Nope just hoping Green isn’t our next coach.

I would think Sims could be like Beau Scott was for Parramatta at the back end of his career. Teach the team how to defend and I would support a 2 year contract (max )which would have him and Blore in the second row and Luc coming off the bench as an impact forward to create some attack as he was dreadful in defence for most of the year.

He was not alone but he did create gaps for the centres and wingers and we all know Noffa loves to blame others for having to come in, leaving his wing open.

Imagine if we had gone all in for Saab when he wanted a Sydney club.. Size and Speed ???

Sims is not a good defender. He's got 1 less 'try cause' than Luciano Leilua

There’s some money issues,lots of clues if u think about it. Not surprising with Covid and results.

Don't start with the private flights or the dumbos at Fox Sports will have us linked with someone called Howard Springs.
 
No marquee player will sign with us this off-season imo. That’s partly to do with how poor our management have been and partly to do with the media scaring away every decent player and then criticising us for it.
