Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Disappointing to see a number of our best performers in the undefeated flegg side are not signed up.

Ogden, Hill, Pole not signed for next year (yet) and we’ve already lost Tuifua.

A serious question for anyone who might know - are other clubs slow to sign or holding off signing junior and reserves talent because of the two-time COVID shutdowns?

I just wonder how many clubs don't have the data they want to make good long-term choices, considering most of these guys have barely played 10 contested matches in two years.

Nofo is a great bargaining chip for a possible trade.

Wonder if Manly would take him for Garrick or Saab ? ?

We went after Saab but then pulled out because of JAC….

Saab had a rocky start but came good.
Looks a star.

Yeah, cos Turbo was out. Turbo makes him look like a million bucks. Without him, Saab is a Datsun.

Rather him than Nofo.

It’s not really an option though is it

Pole has been signed for next year, Ogden’s manager met with Hartigan last week and Hill is highly rated by the club

Club is at massive risk of losing another Flegg player in Jordan Hill - Winger.

They have lobbed an extremely low-ball figure (4 figure sum......) with the excuse that he is coming back from an ACL. He is ahead of schedule for rehab even with covid.

There are already better offers for him elsewhere - would be disappointed to see him go.

I'll be filthy if WT balls this one up and Jordan is let go. Seriously this club does my head in and if Hartigan is involved in re-signing him, then he needs to wake to reality and give the kid a decent offer to keep him in WT in colours. Bloody infuriating.

You really rate him Willow? Sorry I have never seen him play

Genuine finisher who can go the length of the field and has good natural football instincts. We're supposed to be a development club with an emphasis on developing and retaining top junior talent. Hill fits that criteria comfortably based on what I've seen.

The club is royally screwing itself if this kid is not retained.

Not 100% across the new structure at the club, but is the pathway aspect now under Kimmorley ? If so, has he started at the club yet ?

I have come to the realisation that no one is good enough to wear the mighty Wests Tigers jersey..either too old ,too young play like superman in Origin, or a goody goody or a dickhead a has been or a never was..

So we don't sign anybody..

Just a correction to your statement.

I have come to the realisation that no one is good wearing the mighty Wests Tigers jersey..not too old ,too young they play like superman in Origin or at other clubs but at the Wests tigers they quickly become a has been or a never was..

Pole has been signed for next year, Ogden’s manager met with Hartigan last week and Hill is highly rated by the club

If Hill is highly rated, why is he getting lowballed by the club in contract negotiations. This club just doesn’t learn….

From what I've heard Hill has literally been offered a bag of peanuts to stay at the club next season and there are other clubs now circling as they see an opportunity.

I would love to see Hill stay - the kid is talented and we lack serious depth on the wing, and he's a genuine finisher. I'll be filthy if the club don't retain and the imbecile in charge of retaining juniors should be out the door.

Honestly, some people would find something wrong with signing Munster, on minimum wage, after he professes his undying love for the club and only getting paid when we win.

Would like to know as he appears to be someone who spends a lot of time sitting on his hands

Cover my thoughts here, you sum it up well, willow.

I would also like to know as they need a decent reality check on what a constitutes a good junior player.

Agreed but wouldn't that be Hartigan?

Not sure - not impressed with him either way so far.

Issue is we've wasted NRL contracts on players like Hoffman and Kei for next season, so now we don't have a lot of room with these 'depth' players already existing in the squad.

The juniors in our Flegg side are far superior to the ones that have been on development contracts in recent years.

Next season Ogden, Hill and Dillon should all be on NRL contracts or at the very least development contracts with NRL the following seasons. They're the sort of players that deserve development+NRL contract. Hoffman and Kei did not. Neither player has ever shown anything to suggest they can make it in the nrl

 

[Lee's fedora]

Should we have a look at tariq sims ? He would be a great leader for our young fellas still a hard nosed player have him be a 14 off the bench for blore or even have blore come on for sims

 

[balmain boy]

Can someone tell me how we never held on to Mavoni Tuifua? What was the club thinking?

If you're back maybe you could do research on something already spoken about a lot.

Ultimately he was the 4th best prop in Flegg. Powerful but terrible fitness and defence. Just so lazy, , if you can barely last 10 mins in Flegg you'll get massacred against men. Sure he's good for a barnstorming run or two but you need more than running over smaller opponents in Flegg to make the step up.

We have several better props than him from this year's Flegg and joining our Flegg next season.

Thanks mate.

Unlike you I don’t live my life for this forum.

I have a life.

Thanks for the note though.

You can always do a search. Or you can be lazy.

Nor I. There has been some good young recruits come in (e.g Stef) but recruitment direct into the NRL side has been poor. Can't give Hartigan big wraps on what has been achieved to date.

Settle down …. Stop believing everything is true that’s written on here. Just bloody speculation.
