Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Plisskin]

Anything said about who our coach will be.

Keen to know myself... Fingers crossed we know this week

The Pom has indicated that Madge would hold his coaching position.
c
All this Review is achieving is wasting valuable time in recruiting decent capable players.. What a wierd and wasteful mob the Wests tigers organisation is.

Madge isn't safe yet.

Wish the same for the board pascoe and hartigan. All time low for the club

With Hartigan and assistance from Sheens, our club is well placed to recruit new talent. IMO acquiring good young players on the cusp of the NRL is an excellent outcome. You only have to revisit the Laurie and Utoikamanu signings to realise the value they bring to our team. My fingers are crossed a new coach will bring an incremental improvement to our play generally but specifically our defence.

Yeah, I don't know how people don't see this.

Sheens has been out of the loop for years and Hartigan has not set the world alight.

Both are intelligent men and assets to WTs. I have confidence in both men.

Confidence can be misplaced and when it is it becomes dangerous.
Maybe I’ll be corrected next year. Wait and see.

Depends what leads to that confidence.

Agreed. There seems to be some blind faith though and that’s a worry.

I don't have blind faith.

I’m not necessarily saying you. I don’t know you. I’m speaking generally.

I base my opinion on Hartigan on conversations, he has an outstanding knowledge of the game, players right across the game and I like his approach. I believe he is a massive asset to this club.

SHOOSH

Which Penrith star is waiting to find out if Cameron Ciraldo gets the coaching job at the Wests Tigers before deciding his long-term future? Ciraldo is hugely respected by all the Panthers youngsters

Surely Kikau.
He is the only one I see to be looking for a new opportunity out of the yet to be resigned for 23 of Kikau, Edwards, May and Korisou.

Talk is Kikau ain’t too keen on the time he had under Griffen.

Koroisau would be a great pick up. His cousin may come with him which would be very exciting for WTs.

If this is true, the fact players are now taking note suggests there is truth to the rumblings about Ciraldo.

Korisou could be another, but there was a lot of talk that he was keen to link up back with Barrett at the dogs.

April fools, is it?
@Geo

Not sure why they would want two players exactly the same unless they are thinking of playing Munster back at Fullback or Burton at Centre…

Burton at 7
Munster at 6

Ok well hopefully we can see that manifest over the next 6 months.

Maybe he should be in pathways and talent identification then and not general manager..

I hope you are right, we seem to be missing out on players, losing juniors and generally not going well while he has been here

How is the Bulldogs salary cap???

 

[yeahcaz]

If JFH is an 800k a year prop, so am I and I’m barely 77kgs with shoes on.

Gone absolutely missing 2 straight weeks against packs that want it more

Also I’m genuinely curious, what makes you believe he is good in that role? You have obviously met him, could he just be a good talker? It seems he is great at identifying talent but I’m yet to see why he deserves that role with all the rumours of not returning calls or emails

I have heard those rumours but have never had a problem getting a reply from him, usually replies to me within about 30 mins and I am just a lowly fan. I can't judge someone on rumours when I have seen the opposite. I have spent more than 10 hours with him talking football, specific to the Tigers and in general. I have spoken about specific situations and events over the last couple of years and I am very happy with his dealings of those situations. I have spoken recruitment with him and have a fair idea of the process we go through when signing players. I can see what he is trying to achieve at our club and want him to be given the time needed to see this through. I trust him as there are a lot similarities between how I see the game and how he does.

I am not trying to big note myself by saying this, I am honestly answering your question. I honestly believe he is the most important person in the club.

Geez your tough - tonight he was great.
His defensive efforts was massive, very big key to holding the Eels in the 30mtrs often and slowing the ruck speed down. He made 49 tackles today. Most in the game. Not many props do that in 50 odd minutes.

Penrith are noticeably off the pace, but they have only had about 4 games through the season where the other side brought the game to them physically. They are slowly warming into this sort of football.

But; they may have left it a bit late.
