The club is desperately trying to amend the mistakes of the past. They are building for the future

I'd suggest the ones letting the Wests Tigers down are the fans still holding a flame for guys like Woods.

Stand for something. Be better.

Brain aids!

Lol we just signed Nofo for 4 years and are looking to sign DWZ and apparently Sam Burgess. How’s that building for the future exactly? I’d suggest the ones letting the Wests Tigers down are the ones making those stupid decisions.

Wanting something different to me doesn’t make you more of a fan than me.

That's your argument, 1 re-signing of a long-term Tiger and 2 very shallow rumours?

Absolutely. The re-signing of Nofoaluma is indefensible. The fact he’s a long term Tiger is inconsequential. As for the DWZ one, the Pom said he’d probably be here by the Eels game. So unless you have information better than the Pom I don’t think I’d call it ‘very shallow’.

Oh The Pom said it, well, never been wrong ever before, ever.

So your argument is that the Pom is full of it? That he only pushes ‘shallow rumours’?

My argument is to not pre-judge rumours before they are made official, and not to use rumours as part of an argument for or against something.

I appreciate POM's contribution to the forum. But also, some quotes from them to date:
>Also Cini still likely to leave the club but the spot would more likely be filled with a train & trial player like Tyrone Roberts-Davis

>McIntyre has re-signed (not sure on why it hasn’t been announced as yet)

>Aloiai & Blore just a formality now with their ext

>Garner going to Manly seems to be still a go but something is holding it up & not on our end.

>Madge had a phone conversation with Angus Crichton last week to gage interest, he’s seen as a top target for 2022 (Or 2021 depending how things play out at the Roosters)

>Here’s the latest with JAC: He’s accepted the offer put forward to him from the Tigers (Best $$ wise compared to others)... No idea where Bulldogs name came up into this, no formal talks/offers presented last check.

>Brent Naden’s terms for 2022 & 23 have been agreed upon, Talk ongoing to see if there’s a chance of getting him this year (made all more desperate now with AJ’s injury).

100% agree, some signings in the past have come out of the blue without even a word & others have been all but guaranteed & then completely fallen over. I’m no messiah, only share what I hear.

Great post mate. You are 100% correct.

Things are not always going to come to fruition in every negotiation. If the Pom says the Tigers and Dogs are talking about DWZ, I believe him. You don’t?

It's funny how people who go Moses and other players, call them dogs etc now support Woods coming back to the club.

Screw that rubbish.

The guy was club captain and tried to take all our good players to another club.

The absolute last player id let back in the club.

He’s a grub who thought he was bigger than the club. Think of the Hooper interview where he threw the club under the bus. Around that time he was also a regular on NRL 360. He never once defended the club or spoke on behalf of the club. He was looking out for himself. To do all that as captain, made him one of the most selfish players I can ever remember.


No one in this forum would ever throw the club under the bus...

We’re supporters. Even if we do, we don’t walk away. Players on the other hand

He left under Cleary's watch. What's your opinion of Cleary, one of our greats? Ever talked Cleary up yourself?

I’m failing to see how that’s relevant? If he was loyal to the club, wouldn’t have mattered who the coach was.

Can't be bothered explaining...

No, please do. Don’t back down.

The Jason Taylor years were a nightmare from which it was going to be very difficult to recover. I had a conversation with Siro at the time who told me how frustrated Curtis was at being lied to all the time by Taylor. The players hated Taylor. Woods was the glue in a side when certain players were threatening mutiny. When the club shafted Taylor, who by the way was brought in to do a certain job, and signed Cleary, it really hit the fan. Woodsy wanted to stay. He was club captain and wanted to be a Tiger for life. He loved the Tigers and he thought they loved him. When Cleary offered a his old mate, a convicted criminal 200k a season more than the club captain, to play the same position, it kind of rubbed people the wrong way, particularly when Woods had only ever done his best for the club. He asked if he could be upgraded to the same money as the crim and was told to look elsewhere if he wanted more money. It's common knowledge now that we wasted 800,000k for 3 seasons when we could have kept, at the time, the best front rower in the game.

If you are going to call Packer a criminal, that's ok, however you should also mention he served his time for the offence.

I also think he would have been very happy, if he had been on 800k with us. (Closer to 670k methinks).

Re the constant bagging of ex Tigers players, I don't agree'.

Teddy, Moses and Woods were great players for us, and at that time our club was a complete shambles. I would have left if i was in their shoes.
This is a professional game now,and the clubs would , and should move you for a better player. The player likewise should follow his career path or the dollars. How many juniors are in our top 30 ? The same with other clubs ! Very few players last more then 5 yrs in the top grade,(just a guess).

This club loyalty thing , is very thin in todays game.

Nup...theres a difference between not being loyal to the club that developed and invested in you vs orchestrating a mass exit of the clubs best 4 players and then being dishonest about it ,with the sole outcome being the club gets absolutely smashed for several years
..and as topspin got the coach punted ..again a campaign behind everyones backs
That was Aaron Woods.
Shld never wear a tiger jersey again.
..and btw..Moses was never "great"for us...just a work in progress.Still is...

Do you really think Woods organised a mass excodus ! You are delussional.

No, but he tried,

If it was to accommodate Turbo, Teddy or Ponga someone of that ilk I could understand it but to accommodate Dufty no way would we be looking at anything of the sort.

Don't get me wrong I love laurie at 1 but we have an issue of the number 6 jersey for next year if mbye leaves. If mbye stays for less money then keep the spine as it is.

So sharks get hynes and good chance of finucane, dogs get ado Carr and Burton and we're looking at Dwz. ?
We must be the basket case of basket cases

Canterbury have tried to buy a team and are finding out the hard way that that's not how it works. We learnt that lesson a few years ago with Cleary. Addo-Carr and Burton are fine acquisitions but I much prefer the way we are going about recruitment.

Just because Ivan made some poor recruitment decisions doesn't mean you shouldn't target excellent, established players. Burton and Addo-Carr are excellent signings. They're getting rid of Dallin because they have signed players who are an upgrade on him. The fact Dallin would walk right into our team is an indictment of our backline recruitment.

Spot on.
Josh and Burton are great buys and would walk into our team. So would hynes.
We should be after finucane big time and if we miss out, questions should be asked. Especially if we are looking at dwz

You don't judge recruitment on players that you miss.

Why not?
You rate everything else to be a success on both ends of the equation, why not recruitment? If we are failing to sign players , we are doing something wrong.

You judge it on the players you do recruit as that is the only thing that is 100% in your control. Missing out on a player in not 100% in any clubs control.

So in regards to teams like Melbourne, souths, etc we are just as successful in our recruiting as we signed Hastings, Gillard??

We don't measure the latrell miss, ado Carr and any others we missed out on?

Seems like an excuse for mediocrity mate

You do realise that both those players, knocked us back and signed for less money with other clubs.

Here's the cruncher - the Tigers pulled their offer to each player.

That would indicate that we did not miss out on Latrine and JAC at all.

However you keep saying we did if it makes you feel better and it enhances your argument.

Let’s make this clear.

Latrell has said he didn’t want to come here because he wanted to craft into his fullback position, not hold the team together and look for him to make the big decision during the game..

Although I do agree the grub didn’t want to come here regardless, which is fine.. I never wanted him.

Jai Arrow has said:

"No disrespect to the Tigers, but the proud history of Souths and obviously Wayne Bennett and the coaching staff here is second-to-none,"

He chose south’s because he had been in the origin camp multiple times with Bennet and Dimitri.

As for Addo-Carr, most likely came down to money and paying $600K a year for what 4 years? For a winger that more or less has 2 years of his playing form before he declines.. I’d prefer to bring a new kid in for less..

We know what we need and I’m glad we’re not paying overs for duds in a few years.. ITS THE FUTURE !

Addo-Carr felt disrespected that the Tigers wouldn't release Talau to the Storm in order for him to be released early from his contract. Plain and simple

So sharks get hynes and good chance of finucane, dogs get ado Carr and Burton and we're looking at Dwz. ?
We must be the basket case of basket cases

Canterbury have tried to buy a team and are finding out the hard way that that's not how it works. We learnt that lesson a few years ago with Cleary. Addo-Carr and Burton are fine acquisitions but I much prefer the way we are going about recruitment.

Just because Ivan made some poor recruitment decisions doesn't mean you shouldn't target excellent, established players. Burton and Addo-Carr are excellent signings. They're getting rid of Dallin because they have signed players who are an upgrade on him. The fact Dallin would walk right into our team is an indictment of our backline recruitment.

Spot on.
Josh and Burton are great buys and would walk into our team. So would hynes.
We should be after finucane big time and if we miss out, questions should be asked. Especially if we are looking at dwz

You don't judge recruitment on players that you miss.

Why not?
You rate everything else to be a success on both ends of the equation, why not recruitment? If we are failing to sign players , we are doing something wrong.

You judge it on the players you do recruit as that is the only thing that is 100% in your control. Missing out on a player in not 100% in any clubs control.

So in regards to teams like Melbourne, souths, etc we are just as successful in our recruiting as we signed Hastings, Gillard??

We don't measure the latrell miss, ado Carr and any others we missed out on?

Seems like an excuse for mediocrity mate

You do realise that both those players, knocked us back and signed for less money with other clubs.

Here's the cruncher - the Tigers pulled their offer to each player.

That would indicate that we did not miss out on Latrine and JAC at all.

However you keep saying we did if it makes you feel better and it enhances your argument.

Let’s make this clear.

Latrell has said he didn’t want to come here because he wanted to craft into his fullback position, not hold the team together and look for him to make the big decision during the game..

Although I do agree the grub didn’t want to come here regardless, which is fine.. I never wanted him.

Jai Arrow has said:

"No disrespect to the Tigers, but the proud history of Souths and obviously Wayne Bennett and the coaching staff here is second-to-none,"

He chose south’s because he had been in the origin camp multiple times with Bennet and Dimitri.

As for Addo-Carr, most likely came down to money and paying $600K a year for what 4 years? For a winger that more or less has 2 years of his playing form before he declines.. I’d prefer to bring a new kid in for less..

We know what we need and I’m glad we’re not paying overs for duds in a few years.. ITS THE FUTURE !

Addo-Carr felt disrespected that the Tigers wouldn't release Talau to the Storm in order for him to be released early from his contract. Plain and simple

That is a new one.

Some good stories being told tonight

History being re-written

No place for Woods imo - but the venom directed at him for moving on is over the top. He served his contract more admirably then plenty of other duds we have signed and for a lot less that's all you can expect from any player.

Yeah true and he is the only one who actually received any karma for his actions! All the other knobs that screwed us have gone onto much bigger and better things, even that flog Aloiai is reaping rewards playing in a better side than ours ?

Well not playing currently - he's out for 3 months with a wrist injury.

Oh wow really, I missed that! That’s some karma I guess ?

If he does come back, at least I can take all the darts out of the inflatable woods doll

What else do you use the doll for
?

It's got a woodsy head and it's mouth is closed.
Not much happening ?

Woodsy backs into tackles though ?

You know this how?

A family member of his told me. Same bloke told me he'd agreed to sign with Melbourne about 4 weeks before Josh made his NRL debut with us
