Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I'm in any player coming thru storm system interests me .They have an uncanny knack for spotting talent

Isn’t it funny how rudderless Melbourne were last night without their halfback, Jerome Hughes, a fantastic player. How would they go all season without him? Their great forward pack couldn’t even get them over the line. However, they will come back. As a Weststigers supporter, I had to laugh at the excuses from the commentators. The score flattered the Storms and I dislike Parramatta. Relevance to topic, we need a couple more quality experienced players. Go Weststigers!

I'm ok with the reported Staines/Peachey swap. I think we get the better outcome in that

I would take Schoupp off the doggies hands if he was excess to requirement. Is a competitor. We need more of them.

Anyone know what happened to Liam Scolari?…he was supposedly a real flyer….and should be NRL ready by now ….he has not been mentioned

Did his ACL last year in pre season.
He should be ready to go for this pre season.

He could jag a wing spot in the NRL side...from memory he is tall, strong and fast.

Omg I rest my case

You haven't presented anything to suggest you had a case in the first place.

Or maybe he thinks he could be useful as a utility.
I don’t think Ivan even thinks about shafting us but I was disappointed when he left because we showed some fight when he was there and grafted out a couple of solid wins.
Would have liked him to stay to see how far the bus went !

I agree, our best performing period over the last 10 years was when Ivan was here...recall a game down in Canberra where we really grafted out a win...showed guts and determination...not seen it since. :-(

I agree tapau still going ok he's unsigned ?

He wants $800k p.a. plus.....

I'd pay him that. Total over a 2 year contract though

Point 5 difference is we are a merger and are called wests tigers.
I do not particularly want to support a nsw cup team called Western Suburbs Magpies e.g. this is not wests tigers.
Sydney Roosters use Norths
Manly use blackthorn
fine they are one entity they are not a joint venture

If the club truly wants to end a divide the nsw cup team shoukd be wests tigers

And leave leichhardt, that's Balmain

Yea i'm over these whingers who whine about Wests Magpies being our feeder club and lets get rid of our past and in the next breath call leichhardt our spiritual home ground. Bunch of hypocrites.

No wonder he's unsigned

He’ll be 33 before the season starts next year. Hard pass for me.

Not a team player wouldn't change out culture around

 

[bathursttiger1]

The Wests Tigers Budgies, interesting !

With Tony Abbot as the mascot in his Budgie Smulgers.

 

[tigerballs]

Of course they do….
By taking stains - were only helping them with the money they want for the good players

We don’t need him that bad…
Sit back and wait for Martin and Leniu would be my move

Leniu is a probability

 

[Tim Sheens]

Tell him he's dreaming. Lost his explosiveness, so now relies even moreso on his only real weapon, being his right arm fend. So basically useless against any defence on his left for a couple of years now.

To be honest I would go for Jordan McLean before him but we need an experienced prop

 

[GCfan]

I think removing the balmain and western suburbs logos from the nrl jersey would be a great start along with one nsw cup team wests tigers.

I’ve got no issue with the joint logos on the jerseys but all grades should be called Wests Tigers

Klem, Leniu, & /or McLean better the woods, fafita and tapou.

That should apply all the way down to the youngest reps. I want the young’uns having an attachment to the jersey and the club.
