What happened to this supposed mass clean out from the bulldogs ? There was no need to make Lewis a scapegoat when he was already off contract.

Think Elliott has a few more days to respond to his breach notice. As for any others, can't see anything happening until season is over and they do the "review" like all clubs

I can't see any means through which they can sack him. He's not a serial repeat offender like some players have been. He's a moron, sure, and likes playing with other people's junk, but not sure you can sack him for making out with someone in the toilets. Fine and suspension possibly.

They will find a way... Gould will work his magic

The law is the law. If they terminate him he'll take legal action and it will get messy.

They've laid their bed, time to lay in it. With whomever Elliot decides to share it with

????

Wow the standard is very ordinary, neither would beat my local state cup side Newtown.

No chance, I know Aussies love to look down on Super League, but Wigan (or St Helens, or Leeds) would seriously blow any state cup side off the park.

For example, they are second behind only the Sydney Roosters in world club challenge wins, ahead of Melbourne. Wigan beat Cronulla convincingly in 2017, and put in a good show against the Roosters in 2019.

The bottom Super League clubs like Leigh or Salford probably wouldn't look out of place in State Cup, but the top 4 or 5 sides would compete in the NRL.

That's pretty good going when only 4 or 5 NRL clubs can compete in the NRL

In a statement released this afternoon, Canterbury confirmed that several players would be farewelled in Sunday afternoon's clash with the Wests Tigers.

Joining Napa and Hopoate out the exit door are: Lachlan Lewis, Nick Meaney, Renouf Atoni, Sione Katoa, Dean Britt, Chris Smith, James Roumanos, Brad Deitz, Watson Heleta and Kiko Manu.

Anyone keen of any of those players? 😂 Pretty sure the half decent ones have already been signed up like Atoni and Meaney

Definately not

Why do I always see Dudley Do-Right?

Gebbies future partner

He looks as though he could have some talent & has just made a team of merit for an Australian Schoolboys side which is very encouraging.With mentoring of the right kind, he will kick through.

I just hope the club lets him show his deeds on the field and we don't keep going down this ridiculous path of giving out development contracts with guaranteed Top 30 spots one and two years later. Whoever agrees to these terms needs horsewhipping - just holds up the development of other players coming through who may have not made it at schoolboy level for whatever reason when it becomes clear they are developing as better players as they mature just after school and will do anything to make it to the next level.

Guaranteeing a Top 30 spot seems to just give them a complacent path to the NRL instead of them making sure they go hard to make it. Very easy to see in my opinion. Some will come through but many just don't have the drive to ensure they succeed.

I hope Tigers come out soon and announce who is staying or going like this...

I would not mind offering Napa a short term deal as he is only 28 still.. Get him into a good system and a coach like Madge might help him..

Was wondering when they'll release a list of who's leaving. Surely sometime this week or next week

Would pass on Napa, hasn't been good for a while

Up and Adam? Why COVID is threatening to ruin Tigers’ 2022 campaign
Christian Nicolussi
By Christian Nicolussi
August 27, 2021 — 3.27pm

Wests Tigers’ future captain, Adam Doueihi, fears he could be forced to wait months to undergo knee surgery because of Sydney’s COVID-19 outbreak, which would potentially push his comeback to the middle of next season.

Doueihi said his immediate concern is establishing exactly when he can undergo a second operation on his left knee to repair the ACL he tore against Cronulla last weekend.

The five-eighth heard a “click” during a tackle in the second half but had two shots at goal before coming from the field.

All elective surgeries in NSW have been put on hold so public and private hospital beds are kept available during the latest pandemic.

Parramatta baulked at sending winger Maika Sivo back to Sydney and kept him in Queensland, where he has already undergone knee surgery. And Penrith plan on having Nathan Cleary’s shoulder operated on up north at the end of the season before he returns home.

Now Doueihi is back in Sydney, and no chance of returning north because of the border closures, the Tigers must play the waiting game with their best player.

The Tigers wanted Doueihi to consult with the Sydney-based David Parker. Given recovery time from knee surgery is nine months, Doueihi and the Tigers hope it is only a matter of weeks, not months, before he is operated on by Parker.

Wests Tigers crash out of finals contention for 10th straight year
“I’m definitely going ahead with surgery. It’s now a question of how soon we can do it because it’s not classified as essential surgery,” Doueihi told the Herald.

“The doc hasn’t been told when they can re-open for surgery. The two hospitals he works out of are not available right now.

“There could be a smaller hospital he can work out of, but we’re just waiting to see what happens.

“Because I’m a professional sportsman and it’s my job, we’re looking to see if there can be any exemptions.”


Exactly when elective surgeries re-commence will be determined by Sydney’s COVID numbers. Just last week it was reported NSW Health Deputy Secretary Paul Minns fired off a letter to private hospitals informing them category 2 surgeries, including knee operations, could be performed but only “if the patient’s clinical condition indicates that an emergency admission may eventuate if the condition is not treated within 30 days”.

Doueihi partially tore his ACL during the 2020 pre-season, and scans confirmed the same tear had become bigger after last Saturday’s loss to the Sharks.

“It’s only partially torn, not fully ruptured, but I knew there was something wrong straight away,” Doueihi said.

“It just felt unstable. I took two goal kicks with it.”

Doueihi has been one of the few positives for the Tigers, who will miss playing finals for a 10th straight year. Losing Doueihi for any amount of time is hardly what the club needs.

Jackson Hastings will arrive from the UK and likely partner Luke Brooks in the halves to begin next season, while Jock Madden gets his shot in the No.6 on Sunday against Penrith, who will start $1.02 favourites with the bookies.

As for what fans could expect from Madden in his first starting game in the NRL, Doueihi said: “He’s a good kid who works hard. I like watching him train and I’m always teaching him stuff. I’m so happy he’s got the call-up.

“He’s probably more of a No.7 but we’ll see how he goes in the No. 6. He’s good at managing games and did a good job of that in [NSW] Cup games this year.

Jeebus. 2021 hasn’t finished yet 2022 is already in a shambles according to sections of the media…..lol

Fly him to Singapore for surgery and rehab.

Queensland eve. It’s not that hard to work out
