twenty years time we might finally get our act together and have juniors and leagues clubs all branded as wests tigers
Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion
- Thread starter MacDougall
- Start date
With 3rd Party it is probably more. Was speaking to someone high up at the Storm a few weeks back and the Bulldogs are using alot of 3rd Party deals to secure profile players as those deals provide multiple benefits now/future to some players.

Fair point but it's the best way to look at the situation objectively. I've been stating how poor he was last season but I also think I had unrealistic expectations. I honestly though Doueihi was ready to become a marquee player. The stats show he wasn't that bad. He also wasn't good. I do think he can be very similar to Wighton and potentially better.

That isnt how I remember it.
I remenber there was a scandal that eels undercut him and offered him 400 or 450. Then came back at 500 whereas the dogs came in with a no BS up front offer. I distinctly recall journalists reporting that that why Mhoney was impressed, dogs went stright for the jugular.
Disagree. Wighton single handedly lost NSW origin a couple of years ago. He was up against Kurt Capewell and he made Capewell look like Mal Meninga
That's how it was portrayed in the media at the time.
Eels low balled him upfront, Bulldogs didn't & put in a nice sweetener as well upfront.
He told the Eels, they then rushed back quickly with another offer and he signed with Bulldogs.
Eels stuffed up.
People need to remember Hookers don't get a huge price tag on them, we got Api for a steal considering the prices players are potentially getting 24 onwards.
I still believe there should be no TPA or at least capped .
My Gut just feels like Dogs will land Moses and more with the NRL not blinking an eyelid.
just like Josh Jackson retirement when they need cap relief. Sorry but what player walks away from 500-600k to do a embassor role without getting the money. Blind Freddy knows he will get the money except the NRL. Clearly I'm still holding a grudge for the Farah thing . 😆
Gus knows how to work the system and knows they won't challenge him.

Parramatta have a history of low balling and nothing sexual there they did it to Gutho Moses Mahoney Stefano Matterson
In the words of Geoff Toovey there has to be an investigation, if they win the premiership then nrl discover they cheat the cap well 2023 will be a wasted year like 2009
No. In the salary cap era you have to break the rules to get out of the cellar. Every club has to spend so much of there salary cap. If you have a heap of crap you have to buy better. Sometimes you just have to get the player. Have a look at the teams caugh5 over the cap...it was because they were turning over the roster. It's do what you have to do to improve.
Everyone cheats except for us cry tigers fans.
I'd say everyone else has ambition
I had big expectations on him, but i've changed a little. Yes, he took a couple of intercepts and is good defensively, but something is missing. He is quick over the 100, but not speedy off the mark.
I'm not sure fullback is his position, he is a lacking a bit of aggression in his play.
Exactly. Jack Wighton is the most overrated player getting about these days. He's the Braith Anasta of the modern ageThe stats state something else.

Doueihi 87% tackle efficiency and Wighton 85.6%.
He is far better then AD, in every way. Faster,harder, smarter, and can tackle and pass. The spiral bomb is about as effective as a firecracker in Afghanistan.

Back when the big 3 first left they were all going to the dogs but des didn't rate Mitch and the deal fell through. Wonder if that’s still in his mind.
His defence is weak. Made Capewell look like a star in origin. He has pace but his passing game is average and he's dumb as a box of hammers

Yeah, certainly not holding my breath on a positive decision, but would have to hold my nose a little to accept him back after 2017.

Good faith is always the best approach, including with the Koroisau situation.
Expect that if no particular clause exists, WT will still act in good faith by sweetening it somewhat, as successful partnerships are based on good faith.

Wighton is average and has low intelligence. Pass.
