Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Joffa is not on overs this year , he is putting in , check the interview he did , guy was really not happy , looked bloody stressed , so he is taking it to heart and having a go , I would 100% keep him next year

My question remains, where is our cap money going? Who’s on big bucks?

We’re still paying half of Mbye’s contract.

 

[wet tiger coloured bird]

No
Again... NO!

Noffa, Ken M both have good speed. Where we have scored, its been our two wingers getting open ball and outrunning the defense. Not saying they are the fastest but they get over the line.

Gildart, Jimmy the Jet - not as fast as he was but still has speed. Hastings and Brooks have Speed.

Why it all looks slow is Our attack is an uncoordinated mess!

We are not the fastest in the NRL but if our backline has one thing it has speed. It does not use it because people get the balla nd have no idea what to do!

its because of the sloth out of dummy half

Brooks has declared he wants to be a one club man

Even with that I fail to see how we’re spending our cap. We must have lots of 300K players on 500-600

Mbyes contract
plus $ 600 to 800 k under the cap = over 1 million
so work you numbers on 1 million less than the cap total
brooks 800 k
stef , Lucy , ken , , I don’t know but they are all on overs probably so the cap don’t go far
Joffa I think it was reported and don’t hold me to it was 450 k

Hard to line up with Grant, Hughes, paps, massive deals and all the other storm players isn’t it

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Apart from brooks who else is on marquee money? Something doesn’t add up

I thought aside from Mbye that Brooks, Nofa and AD are our top 3 earners. All on overs atm.

Whatever it shakes out, our cap is all out of whack. Massive overhaul needed

So didn't ask for a release twice in the off season as reported , or changed his mind ?

 

[barnsta]

Definitely would not get rid of Joffa, bloke is playing his guts out and is getting injured most games. He is having a go.
There are a few that definitely aint which really sucks.
Luch n kelma are, garner having a crack in the centres and madden trying to stir interest of other clubs. Twal always a rock in D and thats about it.
Tamou just not first grade anymore and musgrove must not have the confidence he used to.
Liddle is up and down but just doesn't seem up to first grade standard which is a shame.
Brooks well what you can say that has not already been said.
Laurie lacks confidence, last year he looked to be progressing well and this year has gone backwards.
Madge, well i hoped he would do something great but some of the players just wont buy into his methods

Maybe the Tigers should be keeping an eye onw the biggest stockpile of talent right under their noses; St Joseph's.
Scolari, O'Kanes, Jorgenson, Pat Young are a few recent ones. Tip of the iceberg.

In 22 years I am pretty sure that there have only been a handful of notable McArthur & Balmain local Juniors to serve long careers with WestsTigers - Teddy, Chris Lawrence & Nofo, Robbie, Brooks, Woods, Nathan Brown (oops sorry - we let him go). It would seem that no matter how big your backyard is, talent is rare. The Pathways program is important & The Centre of Excellence is desperately needed in order to keep these kids interested. Hopefully, it opens sooner than later cos like COVID lockdown for lower grades over the past two years players unique & rare talent isn't being developed. Tigers!

Lee's love child Noffa.

My guess is for Hartigan to start his plan of stock pilling the best of the almost ready talent out there that we signed most of those fellas on large then expected contracts.

Almost ready alright. For park footy. Stef excluded.

Reported 550K. definitely overs for a winger but not marquee $

 

[Viking Warrior]

Semi is available after June should grab him

He's not a marquee player.
