Wests Tigers have just parted ways with GM Adam Hartigan, who brought Laurie, Stefano and Blore to the club.

Sheens now calling the shots. Bizarre move. The club’s only shining light has been the recruitment and development of the youth.

Anyone else think Chammas just lost his inside source.

Our biggest problem has been recruitment and Hartigan was in charge of it. Our 2nd biggest problems was leaks.

2 birds on stone

How could a person who came from one of the most successful clubs in the game and with a record of success be the problem? And we bring back a plodder from the dead.
I don't normally get on the negativity nelly bandwagon but this club is bonkers if true.

The replacement is dumb granted but the best clubs don’t let go of people like that if they’re so important

In 'normal' circumstances I would agree.
This is the Wests Tigers we are talking about. Cochise has basically stated he is one of now three 'rats' that were caught in the leak trap. I'm not denying that may be true but it just sounds eerily familiar for us. Is it just Sheens is getting the band back together? Heaven help us if it is.

I have never in my life said that, Hartigan was one of the real assets of this club.

Sincere apologies - it was InnsaneInk.

Actually think it was Demps

pretty sure it was @cochise

I never called Hartigan a rat

Question though....

If all is true regarding Hartigan slamming the coach and agitating behind the scene

And despite him being an asset in some way to the club...

Would it be fair to assume its better for team and club harmony and long term success of our club for him not to be part of our organisation ?

A hell of a lot of ifs and assumptions in your post Demps. Hartigan to the club was a huge asset. Unfortunately the wrong individual is going.

A lot to unpack hey....

I think your statement is right, in a sense.
As I too believe some others need to and should of also gone.

Not as aware as others as how important Hartigan is to the club but by the sounds of it there's a guy named Fita Hala that also needs a tap on the shoulder.

That is where I was hoping McDonnell was going to be used.

I guess we'll find out next week, when the club unveils the 'new-look football department'.

Clean out of rats is a good way to fix the club internally and breed a strong culture

 

[old_man_tiger]

Lol today’s argument is about who said what when. We’ve moved on from Luki’s contract and whether 3 is bigger than 2.

All the big issues covered here ?

I can say this tho

This offseason has provided x10 more entertainment value than last season tbh, last seasons JAC and lattell bs just got boring after a while

This off season we got turd flying everywhere its great

Mate, it's more entertaining than our season, including the part we were allegedly playing footy

People have short memories….I know who I would like to be running my salary cap if I had a choice of Shifty Sheens or Hartigan. Our cap for the first time in living memory seems to be in some sort of control.

Anyway, unlike most Iam scared having Sheens back.

Sheens given full control is a dud move. He is good as the cherry on top. Bad as the whole cake.
2012 was one of many shockers and the players we let go showed he was out of his depth.

Tigers think this is like Windows on your PC. They have a crap setup and are trying to reload the last usable settings.

Chammas is the biggest douche bag journalist….

Any guesses who was leaking to Chammas?

2 members of the board have very loose lips. I believe hartigan could’ve been another

On what do you base this belief?

If we r getting poms

Sam Burgess anyone?

Have you watched SAS?

He won... but yeah, he said it himself;
"My shoulder is cooked."

Won't play again it seems.

Never held us back in the past, why start now

It isn’t. It’s why we look like signing a 32 year old with no knees.

The Wests Tigers have reportedly offered Canberra dummy-half Josh Hodgson a two-year deal to make the move to Sydney.

Having been informed by the Raiders that he wouldn’t be offered a new deal beyond 2023, it is expected that Hodgson will make the move to the Tigers with added contract security a big factor.

The Daily Telegraph’s David Riccio says it’s now just down to financial terms between the two sides.

“This one’s been in the works I believe for the last week or so,” Riccio said on SEN 1170 Breakfast.

“The Wests Tigers making enquiries through the Raiders, I think Josh Hodgson will be a Tiger.

“I think he will be a Wests Tiger next year, I think this will eventuate.

“It’s only down to financial terms and how much the Wests Tigers are willing to pay of Josh Hodgson’s $800,000 contract next year.

“The Raiders will have to chip in, and I think it’ll be in the vicinity of two to three hundred thousand dollars.

“They’ll have to chip in to contribute to Josh Hodgson’s early release to the Tigers next year.”

Riccio says the deal was put forward by the Tigers once new director of football Tim Sheens rubber-stamped the move for the 31-year-old.

“I think the Wests Tigers are ready to do it, and this is a big point, it has the full support of Tim Sheens,” Riccio explained.

“Tim Sheens I know has spoken to the Tigers’ hierarchy about making this a priority to get Josh Hodgson to the club on the basis of experience that the club needs, leadership on field, and I think this will eventuate.

“It may not happen today, but I believe it’ll happen as early as next week.”

The English international has played 137 NRL games for the Raiders since making his debut in 2015.

500-600k for a 32year old with 2 ACL injuries coming off his worst season. We never learn

The POM is a myth, hasn’t had a good scoop in ages

Last one, he did have told us the result of the review before it even went to the board.
Was a conclusive statement too, which basically drew the line as to not what he was saying was necessarily true or false, but how much he knew.

Yeah man, big news today.

I can understand you and some other lads have had dealings with Hartigan and he probably presented as a good club man....

I also believe ( if true ) trashing the club to friends and whatnot, is just as bad as liking IG posts and whatnot... very unprofessional.

I guess we'll see down the track if this was the right call... and I hope Hartigan is alright, losing your job... which sounds like a dream job... would be, I assume very stressful. Hopefully he finds some thing else to do.

I would think he would have clubs fighting over him to help identify talent for them (dogs should be leading the charge)
