Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

375k a year isn't bad for what he was outputting at Titans.
Tigers are getting both Hastings and Peachey on less than what they were paying for Mbye. Based on current form both of those guys seem to be better quality than Mbye. Neither deal is going to screw them over long term if we dud it up. This is a good deal for the Tigers in my book.

Gotta remember we are still paying Mbye $400k, which means we are paying almost $800k for Tyrone to replace him in total

Correct, it’s a marginal upgrade on Mbye but overall we’re still paying the same.

I don’t think anyone is denying that. However I’d say Mbye was paid out of the 21 cap with some recent front loaded extensions. (Mikalee, Seyfarth, Tulagi) Smart business if this has happened.

For sure, but we still paid the money regardless.

Why?

Because people have to find the negative in everything

Because professional should be able to motivate themselves ...well the quality ones anyway .....you are representing yourself ,family ,club ...

No offence to Peachey, but haven't the expectations of the supporters of WTs fallen! Maguire has a plan.

Peachey saying he plays at his best when he has a strong coach to keep himself accountable is hardly a bad thing.

Yes but everything is concerning when you’re a cantankerous old goat.

You shouldn't need a coach to make you accountable ..and if you do after 8 years in grade ...well it says more about the player ......wasted talent

So now that we signed peach realistically who is next option as a potential signing ?

Curtis Scott?
Adam Elliot ?
Or someone we haven't been linked with like a Enari tuala or Sean O'Sullivan?

Personally i would just wait til November 1 when clubs need to trim fat for salary cap

But wait you said Sheens is in charge and Maguire is nothing but an assistant so you must be having a shot at Sheens.

I’m sure that I read on here that Mbyes 2022 salary contribution was paid out of West’s 2021 cap

But Maguire has only had three years!

The nuclear carrier Nimitz (first of class as well) only took 4 to build but then again, culture change is a long term goal.

You're really clutching at straws here mate

Considering Mbye was $950k a year, the Peach has definitely been in better form than him.
Over the moon with this deal. He’s the best player on the market atm. I’m just relieved we didn’t sign Woods.
He can cover multiple positions, or even impact off the bench. It wouldn't surprise me if he starts at centre early in the season with a few blokes out.

The Wests Tigers have begun their search to bolster Michael Maguire’s coaching staff for next season — and two top contenders have emerged.

Wests Tigers have begun interviewing potential assistant coaches, with premiership-winning coach Shane Flanagan right in the mix

The Tigers have two positions available to assist Michael Maguire as they head into a season-defining year for the coach

Flanagan has already been interviewed and he sits at the top of the queue

Itis understood that ex-Parramatta captain Nathan Cayless and former South Sydney lower-grade player Ryan Carr are also among the potential candidates

Flanagan has strong support from those within the club. The famed review into the club, which almost led to Maguire’s sacking, asked the coach to surround himself with high calibre assistants

Flanagan is easily the most credentialed having led the Sharks premiership glory in 2016 and finished his stint with a 55 per cent winning rate. He was a St George Illawarra assistant coach in 2020 before joining Fox League this year

Flanagan wants to return to coaching and is open to providing support to Maguire

Cayless most recently spent the past two seasons working as an assistant coach at the Roosters. He was replaced by Brett Morris heading into next season. Since retiring at the end of 2010, Cayless has held coaching positions at his former club Parramatta and the Warriors

Carr played under Maguire during a stint at South Sydney before transitioning into a coach. He was appointed South Sydney’s under-20s coach in 2017 where Pat Richards, who is part of the Tigers coaching staff, was his assistant

Carr has also coached Mounties and Parramatta in the NSW Cup and spent a season as head coach of Featherstone Rovers in the competition below the Super League

Ex-Bulldogs coach Dean Pay was also linked to the role

The Tigers are on the lookout for new coaches after Wayne Collins was not re-signed following the review. The club this week also announced that Shane Millard, who joined the club last year, was also moving on

Meanwhile, the Tigers have officially unveiled Tyrone Peachey on a two year deal worth about $750,000

Peachey returns to Sydney after a three-year stint on the Gold Coast

He could line-up in the halves to start the season given the long-term injury to Adam Doueihi. Peachey, who played three games for NSW in 2018, joins Jackson Hastings and Oliver Gildart as new recruits at the Tigers next season

I’ve been really impressed by Madge (Maguire) and the way he approaches the game and I’m looking forward to working under him,” Peachey said

“I know that I perform my best when I’ve got a strong coach who can keep me accountable and I’ve really enjoyed speaking with him lately.

T he Tigers still have about a $1 million for three spots left on their roster
