Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Vicious]

Benji, Farah and the 2005 -2012 Wests Tigers crew back to bring a bit of heart & soul into the place all day every day.

Robbie did a really good job on Anthony Watts in one of the best 'get squares' ever but I've heard Furner would be a real step up in class and maybe a bit too much for Robbie. I wouldn't fight either of them.

I showed my nephew that only recently. I have never been prouder.

Melbourne Storm scouts have gone into Wests Tigers’ backyard to pinch highly regarded pathway prop, the 16-year-old Cooper Clarke, to a three-year deal. This is a bad look for the Tigers to be losing elite juniors from the thriving Macarthur junior league.

Its funny how it’s reported. I know 2 players from Penrith who Panthers where desperate to keep but both left. A 20 year old halfback to the Storm and a 19 year old fullback to the Sharks and yet nobody reported it. Both are extremely talented and Panthers not happy about losing them. If that as us Buzz would have it as a full back page spread

Wonder if Robbie brother will surfaces as a support staff?

Buzz gave the club 4 sprays in his column today:
1.Furner and Farah.
2. The loss of the young bloke to Melbourne.
3. Covering up our betting sponsorship on our jersey when we played in NZ unlike the Knights who replaced theirs with a children’s hospital.
4. A subtle dig at Sheens about not loving Hastings as opposed to McGuire and O’Brien.

Duck the old codger. I am going to give him a spray next time I see him.

I would give Buzz 1 out of 4 which is much higher than his normal rate,he was right about hastings and we can only thank our ex coach Tim for that one.

52 year old Furner would get the snot knocked
out of him lol. Don't be ridiculous, Robbie by KO

There must be video somewhere of a brawl in a Kangaroos/England match, don't ask me what year, when Furner went off. He threw so many punches in 2 seconds the whole English pack thought they were surrounded.

Didn't translate to on field results for Wests Tigers. Benji has chosen the people he trusts There are 4 of them now. Hope all those brains translate to 1.

Robbie's a Leb. It wouldn't be Marquess of Queensbury rules.
Robbie in the first round by head kick or stabbing.

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Ronnie's a Leb. It wouldn't be Marquess of Queensbury rules.

After all his cousins have landed the first blows

Elite? Highly regarded? Bad look? I’m not convinced any of that is true. Elite props are hard to pick at 16. Halves and speed guys on the other hand…

Storm are.

Yeah props don’t really mature for another 10-12 years.

Furner is a thrashing machine and was well regarded as a player in this regard.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

In a system that produces results. And a bit of money of course.

 

[Moh]

Never heard of this kid , anyone know about him or is this just more shat from the papers

Know nothing about him, but 3rd from the right - agree with others that it's impossible to pick this early, looks like a big lump of a boy at 16...

Especially if he has the electrical tape
around his head lol. He's got that old man
strength too, I wouldn't want to box him

Agreed Yoss

So the storm signed a junior in a massive Rugby League nursery against signing from their non existent junior nursery in Victoria.

As Tiger Claws said earlier Penrith lost a few but that happens with strong nursery numbers.

Let’s hope we keep the ones we need.

Omg we lost a 16 year old. Clubs lose juniors all the time, but in our case the world is crumbling in. Who cares. Good old Buzz snorting metho and orange juice again.
