Looks like nothing doing and we will be promoting internally for the last roster spot. @THE_POM also mentioned the club was expecting responses from seyfarth and mikaele contract extensions prior to August 1 and still no announcements either which is disappointing

Thats a shame. Seyfarth has shown alot of heart and Big Mik has shown glimpses, but they say front-rowers take a bit of time to settle and he's only young. Feel like they're both keepers, but we could use someone like Klemmer to show our pack what "Fearless" means.

Klem is off to a QLD club.
Missed that boat.

What?!... Who?... Boncos?...

I heard him say it.... he didn't specify who.
I thought Broncos but it's been rumoured Cowboys recently.

Buzz just trying to stir the pot and get his mate Flanagan the coaching job

No way buzz wouldn't be plastering the headline of "tigers star wants out" if he had genuine information about something

The flog gets all the mail. He’s running an agenda but he has material.

We will see. Normally those 'shoosh' pieces don't come to much

I feel like the Tigers recruitment is not decisive.
We Umm and Ahh too much.
We kow-tow to media representation of us. The same media that flogs us to death at every opportunity for the sake of clicks.
But the thing that really irks me is that we continually provide them with ammo. Even when we take the right approach the media contradicts themselves and turns it around, but then the club starts 2nd guessing itself again.
We need some Big Hairy Monkey Nuts who will not waver, will make the tough calls, be decisive, be shrewd but most importantly, stick to their guns and back their decisions.
Thats all, as a Wests Tigers supporter, that I ask.

This is the piece from Brent Read.

Maguire’s late call to Vaughan

Paul Vaughan was always going to Canterbury, something he made clear to Michael Maguire when the Wests Tigers coach contacted him at the 11th hour to get a sense of his plans for the future.

Vaughan and his respected manager Darryl Mather had zeroed in on the Bulldogs quickly after his career was brought to an unceremonious end at St George Illawarra.

Three insane moments that saved Matildas hopes
JOE BARTON
Vaughan had a longstanding relationship with Bulldogs coach Trent Barrett — the pair live near each other in Shellharbour and Vaughan had worked under Barrett with the Country side.

Mather has known Canterbury’s freshly-minted head of football Phil Gould for longer than either man cared to remember. It seemed like the perfect fit — the Bulldogs also had money to spend and a desire to invest it on a quality forward.

Vaughan certainly fitted into that category. His final game in a Dragons jersey was arguably his best of the year — he stampeded for more than 230 metres against the Warriors.

The deal with Canterbury was done on Tuesday afternoon when Bulldogs officials, Vaughan and Mather signed off on the final details of the contract.

So when Maguire called late on Tuesday to test the waters — Vaughan had agreed to accept the Bulldogs deal less than 30 minutes earlier — it was always going to be a short conversation.

“He was nice enough to call me,” Vaughan said.

“I think that was the first time I had spoken to Madge. He seems like a lovely bloke and I was really appreciative of that call.

“They are trying to build something really good there at the Tigers. Like I said it was never going to be anything but the Bulldogs for me.”

Vaughan’s decision added to the recent pain for the Tigers. In the space of a fortnight, they have missed out on Tevita Pangai Junior, Dale Finucane and Vaughan.

The Vaughan situation highlighted once again how the Tigers can’t get it right. Had Maguire called an hour earlier, he would have given Vaughan and his camp something to think about it.

As it was, the decision had already been made and the Tigers were left licking their wounds. Tim Sheens can’t arrive soon enough as he takes a wide-ranging look at the organisation and eases some of the pressure on Maguire.

Meanwhile, Vaughan is looking forward to his new adventure and repaying the faith that has been shown in him by the Bulldogs.

“I guess for me I really wanted to go there and show them what my intentions are,” Vaughan said.

“That was the biggest thing for me. For me, it is all in. There is no dancing around the fact I am going to go there and give it my all, train the best, play the best, and prepare the best I can.”

He says when Madge called , the deal had been done thirty minutes earlier....
Its as if Madge new what time they were going to do the deal and he missed out.
Seriously to even say something like that , just shows how stupid this clown is writing this article.

No, that's just highlighting how long we waited before even making contact to gauge interest.


Do any of you fine WT's forum members recall the story of *Anybody, Everybody, Somebody* and *Nobody*?
Madge is Nobody... Bare with me.
It was Somebodies job to make contact, and although Anybody could have, Nobody did...But only after finding out from Everybody that Somebody didn't make the call...
Hence, 30mins too late.
Poor Madge, the way he'd be sheading after all this, pretty soon he won't even be able to ask for a "Short Back n Shine" at the barbers.

make it a double ,4 every 1

salute 2022,,we were [r] in every game..pplllease come again

 

[Pascoes_barber]

My guess would be Alex Twal

He doesn't strike me as a drama queen.

No he doesn’t but isn’t he besties with Matterson?

I think he's tighter with Cotric these days but read into that as far as you like.... ??

@Trusted_Insider

Hmm, could be some movement around Josh Dugan. Finally some good news?
