THats actually a pretty impressive reel for a change. Hate to say it but runs like Teddy.

Dont see it

Something about the way he lowers his body height as he hits top gear.

Think Ted had more speed at his age.

Don't know about that - Dillon can motor - he's on par with Papenhuyzen for speed.

You reckon?

Absolutely, aside from Jordan Hill who spent most of the season injured, Dillon is the quickest player in the the WT Flegg team.

Going off his highlights I see a bit of Reese Walsh style in him.

I almost think he's a Tedesco/Papenhuyzen hybrid. he looks a very very good prospect. he has the strength, pace and evasion required to return the ball and make things happen off attacking shapes, but I was just as excited by his long balls, even though they need some work. he has all the tools, just needs some refining. wouldn't surprise me if he moves Laurie to 6 or 14 in the next few years.

I see him as our long term fullback and he reminds me more of Papenhuyzen with how he moves - absolutely electric off the mark and not afraid to play through the middle. Covers the 100m in about 11 seconds which is on par with Pap. Jordan Hill is a little quicker and hopefully Hartigan can convince him to stay.

What’s the current status with Hill? Was he signed , signing with Cutters or in talks with them? Is it due to the uncertainty around whether the comp will start up again next year?

WT have been late to the party in re-signing him due to his ACL injury. There's some moves planned to try and keep him as he's not quite locked into going to Mackay just yet.

Is he from Queensland originally? I know he was part of the Holy Cross footy team but do you know how long he has been in our system.

What is the lure to Mackay?

I think @Aubanon has some links to Jordan Hill? Maybe he
Can post to tell us exactly what’s going on with him

Hey Guys;

- Jordan is a local - lives in Putney, went to Gladesville Public and then Holy Cross
- Has a family link to Mackay and as they showed him some love, lined up potential suitable employment and a pathway to Cowboys he signed heads of agreement type doc
- Tigers finally got wind and made direct contact with family
- A meeting was discussed (Yet to be arranged)

Are you confident he stays?

The family just wants to see a proper plan around him development wise - not this 1 year stuff (Even if it has incentive clauses due to ACL concerns). He loves his teammates and the club and wanted to stay loyal.

Honestly - if the tigers pulled their fingers out - I would say 100%. Realistaclly, 50:50 ATM

Clearly sounds like 48 hours.

FLANNO IN TIGERS’ DEN?

Cronulla premiership-winning coach Shane Flanagan has emerged as a potential addition to Michael Maguire’s coaching staff at the Wests Tigers.

It is understood Flanagan is keen to return to the coaching ranks and will put up his hand to assist Maguire, who is on the lookout for a new member of his staff.

Flanagan has made no secret of his plans to step back into a full-time coaching role having spent this season in the commentary box with Fox League and 2GB.

The experienced mentor headlines a host of coaches already linked to the role, including Dean Pay, Brett White, David Furner and Shaun Wane.

Flanagan worked as an assistant last year at the Dragons in what was his first coaching position since leaving the Sharks at the end of 2018. He initially started as the attack coach but moved onto looking after the defensive side of the team.

The Tigers are on the lookout for a defensive specialist after Maguire’s assistant Wayne Collins was the big casualty of the Tigers’ highly publicised review.

Maguire will have a say into who he appoints but the decision will be left to the club’s football committee. Under the revised structure at the Tigers, Maguire has agreed to forego some of his autonomy in return for the club taking a more collaborative approach to their recruitment of his offsiders.

That just sounds so amateur. We have a whole pathways department, and not one person spoke to a great wing prospect we had about extending his stay in the club? Even informal talks?

Are they unsure who's job it is to do this with the new structure? We need to re-sign at least half of the current flegg squad, sure some will get cherry picked, but we need to foster the relationship with tehse boys and make them want to stay together and win together.

There is more stuff that I know that im sometimes reluctant to post - dont want it to appear as though Im inflating this kid's potential (or unduly bagging the club).

The one thing I have found surprising is that he has had no direct contact from the indigenous elements of the club. What I mean by that, no discussion around work outside of footy or education.

These are the areas we keep hearing the club has made improvements in, yet here is an example of it not working. I get Covid has derailed the last 2 seasons, but sometimes we're talking about something as small as a telehpone call.

Unbelievable and amateurish this sort of thing is why we don’t progress as a club, you can only put it down to the leadership of the club ie Pascoe he needs to pull his finger out big time really could use a review of his performance

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

make the play for Brandon Smith or Harry Grant Melbourne can't keep both

Maybe trade Simpkin for one of them.

Prefer Liddle to be traded thanks

 

[Red Rugby]

Gould’s podcast:
The first 16 mins, he concentrates on WT’s and makes some sense imo?

https://wwos.nine.com.au/podcasts/six-tackles-with-gus

Interesting that Gus has preached building through pathways and juniors yet the Bulldogs have signed Addo-Carr, Burton, Pangui etc etc....

 

[bptiger 0]

Collins should never ever get another gig as a defensive coach , even blind Freddy could see where they were going wrong yet it never was fixed

 

[Shooter Mcgavin]

Sam McIntyre back off contract, would he be worth a look at if we couldn’t get Peachey? Aggressive ball playing lock role, maybe on a short term, low cost deal.

Would allow Twal to go back to prop and SMac could share lock with Seyfarth maybe?

That would be interesting. I didn't want him as a head coach, but as an assistant I guess I wouldn't mind his involvement.

I was shocked when he left, I thought he was a goodun? Would be happy to see him back?

I think before we bag the club, we need to know why? The Pathways stuff is in place, maybe he is not in their plans? None of us know.

It may well be warranted, but how many of these stories come on, that turn out to be not quiet what we were told? We don't know.

However, I wish the young fellow much success?
