Gonna put this out there.

Madge says in an interview when asked why players don't want to come here that he has spoken to players that are keen to play for us.

The POM mentions in his post that we're chasing an outside back.

Kotoni Staggs won't re-sign with the Broncos.


Could it be? Is it possible?

Could Staggs be a Tiger??

Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire urges fans to be patient as they build for the future

WRITTEN BYLACHLAN MCKIRDY


Despite failing to land a big-money signing in recent season, Maguire assured fans that he is constantly in talks with players at other clubs who like what they're seeing at the Tigers. 

"There are a lot of players that I know want to come to this club," Maguire said.

"I do talk to a lot of players. A lot of players are signed at certain clubs and they talk to me about what’s going on at the Wests Tigers.

"A lot of people know that the club is moving in a direction and we’re building a foundation. And there are a lot of players out there that like what they’re seeing

hahahaha hahahaha

Look Madge so far has only been turned down by Mitchell, DWZ, Naden, Jac, Chn, Zac Lomax, maybe Surgess, AJohnston, M Moylan in 2025 we are gunna build a ripper team when all these guys join us... Hold still guys we are only years away from making the 8

Madge is no good player magnet, more a good player repellant, and it is a major concern despite what some say.

I'm concerned about the same thing. However, I do wonder if our new approach to not pay overs to players has more to do with it.

Sure, Cleary was able to sign players, by paying Josh Reynolds 800k a season, Packer 700k a season and Mbye 900k a season. I'm sure if we offered JAC 900k a season for 4 years, he would have come here.

Laughing at the broncos boss whinging about their players getting poached.
Yeah ok mate.

There is a rumour the Coates deal with the Storm is nearly done. I'd be annoyed to if I were the Broncos.

Screw em bro.
Had a great run for so long. About time they found out what its like on our side of the fence

hahahaha exactly...

boo hoo clubs are taking our best players

pascoe should send him the "our best players are leaving" care package which is one dose of nobody cares

Assuming an estimated north of $2m to spend next year, my three big targets for us would be:

1. Dale Finucane - not flashy or exciting but exactly what we need to put some starch in the middle with a 19 year old hooker. Played in 5 grand finals in 8 years with dogs and storm. Winner. Off contract and Packer cash would almost get it done.

2. Joey Manu - Just a class act. Genuine strike in the centres, defence rock solid and at a pinch can play full back and succeed . Winner. When they re-sign Sam Walker they will have some pressures (already upgraded Kear, Angus etc.) and he should be our priority #1. Not off contact juts yet but the pressure will mount. Bj Leilua money plus some extra cream.

3. Xavier Coates - storm might already have this locked away but blow them out of the water with a 4 year deal at $500k per year (similar to Fergo money). In 2 years time he will be the most dangerous target in the air in the comp and has top 3 speed in the comp. Exactly what we need.

See how the spine develops with those three and then make a call on Brooks at the end of 2022.

out of those if we got one of finucane or manu I would be ecstatic. Would love Manu more but think Finucane is more realistic

Latrell and JAC were offered plenty, as were a few others, it is only lately that this might have been an issue, Naden for one was lost due to this, so for me the problem is still there

Latrell definitely knocked us back because he didn't want to come here. Mixed reports on JAC offers, so hard to know what is true.

Best thing to do is land a big player, that other clubs want to put it to bed. Plenty of room in the cap.
 
Rothfield has reported Melbourne Storm are “on the verge” of signing Broncos young gun Xavier Coates. They are closing in on his signature. It has been reported he has toured the facilities. Coates looms as an ideal replacement for superstar winger Josh Addo-Carr, who will depart at season’s end for Bulldogs.

not surprised. Bellamy going around for another year will deliver him to Melbourne. everyone talks about the players we've lost but man, Brisbane are losing generational talents.

The strong remain strong just this time a traditionally strong team is being systematically pulled apart. Reece Walsh, Coates, Simpkin, Walker and potentially Staggs are players no club can afford to lose and remain competitive.

That is bad news. When WTs decides not to offer Leilua another contract it is because the money will be spent on retaining one of our great youngsters and beating off offers from stronger clubs.

No, not off contract and probably already signed with Storm.

Latrell said on Matty Johns show (i think it was) he didn't want to be the star that everyone relied on to make the "play". Can understand that.

JAC who knows
* "Harder" training coach?
* More promise at the bulldogs been more competitive then us (certainly thought they would be going better this year)

Straight up money . The dogs came in late offering way more money after we agreed to terms . We could have matched , but we obviously didn’t think he would move the needle, in a way that would warrant paying a winger that amount of cap percentage . Time will tell if that was the right choice. Judging by the dogs this year , I’m thinking it might have been .
He’s obviously not with them , but rather paying backs that kind of coin is drought with danger , if you don’t have the engine room sorted first
