Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Gotta disagree mate . He goes from 2-3 drop balls to 1-2 every game . That’s from an enormously high error rate to a high error rate .
And the guys a good footy player .
In contrast to someone like Twal who is all efficiency . How many games have we lost because of errors at the wrong times . At 26-27 years old that should be a once in a couple of games type thing . And unfortunately for him that the reason he’s off to SL.
Hopefully he can return in a few years like Murdoch Masilla , a much more complete footballer .

Can disagree all you like but you're actually wrong on this year and back of last year.

He has clearly worked on his discipline as handling errors and penalties have dropped off the face of the planet.

He has made 1 error in his last 9 games.

Panthers - 0
Bulldogs - 0
Knights - 0
Warriors - 0
Sharks - 0
Eels - 1
Souths - 0
Dragons - 0

How many of these players are linked to WTs?

All but one or two I think.
Lachlan Dooner is at the Roosters.
Jordan Miller rumoured to go to Dolphins .
As far as I know, the rest are in the Wests system.

No, that's just young blokes in a lower socioeconomic area once again importing bullshit US street gang culture.

I despise this culture. You even see it seep into the game with players throwing signs in selfies and group photos. Maybe I’m just an angry old man, but God I hate that.

Yeah I don't get the need to do it either. Same as to the clothes some of these guys wear.
I often wonder if some of the players go to a marketing course and they are told to do this/that with a look cool / junior focus / associates more with them.

Lachlan Dooner was a wests junior till tedesco went and visited with Robinson in the off season, only been at the roosters for 10 minutes now rooster's saying our junior, our pathways, our system has got him to this point in his career, a load of rubbish.

Couldn't agree more about the culture thing. There is nothing to recommend it at all.

Why? Madge won a premiership over there as well.

Il stick with Madge until end of next year. With a decent squad there are no excuses.

The longer players train under Madge the more they become indoctrinated in "the way it is"
I can see an attitude change in players we've had for a while.
You have a look at Bellamy. When a new player comes to the Storm they see players who are already indoctrinated so they know the standard.
Look at Bellamy carry on in the coaches box, no Storm player is going to criticize Belly Ache for that, its his way or the highway.
Players have to buy into Madge's way, which as I said, starting to happen.
If we get some quality players like AC, Appi and Papa they will come into a side that has an identity, watch us go then!
Even Naden might go well because of what I've said.
He played well with Penrith who definitely had an identity so maybe he will be a revelation with Madge.....time will tell I guess.
Keep Madge!!!

Doubt it although I can see the reasoning. They all seem to be this generic cookie cutter type. Dress in urban wear, either watching NBA or playing it on the PS5, throwing up lame "gang" signs and take as many selfies as a Kardashian.

 

[The-moP]

You forgot Lamar Liolevave.

And Benjamin Murdoch-Masila

So we loose Hoffman early on in his contract year, wait half a year for Bulldogs to pay a portion of Nadens salary then sign him up in the vacant spot still keeping squad spot 30 available.
Pretty good business.

 

[Wagga_Tiger]

Not true, we have 30 spots filled now with Naden.

Roosters if true and are in salary cap trouble. We should have a crack at getting Teddy back. Surely he would entertain it, having acheived almost everything in the game already. The thought of a return and getting to finals with his junior club along with the fanfare and a job for life at the tigers could get it across the line.

Suali would be better for us. Tedesco has had a fine career but his best days are behind him.

Agree entirely. Do you go to your place of employment because all of our work colleagues grew up in the same area as you?

 

[Garrry]

Expecting a big couple of weeks for Stef, state of origin time, massive running metres.

Get Crichton now for this year then, then get him to bring Saluka Fafita for next year. Make it happen tigers.

They both made a fool out of Donald Trump?

Hopefully the Don will be back in 2024 and the socialist democrat's under senile Joe will end thankfully

Penrith have existed for 20 more years in that area than Wests have existed in Sydneys South West.... And this "Brotherhood" You're admiring has existed for 6 (Including Pre NRL).

Never changes with you blokes - Lets all sit on our hands and blame the rest of the world the South West of Sydney is filling up with cultural diversity that isn't necessarily aligned with Rugby League....
Wests Tigers do plenty there - Play as many games there as the area will accommodate...
It's never enough.

Filling up with cultural diversity that isn’t necessarily aligned with Rugby league?? That’s a garbage comment. I have recently built in one of the new estates in the area and this couldn’t be further from the truth. There would be over 30 kids in my street under the age of six easily and all the parents follow Rugby League in some way. Mostly are Anglo background but that doesn’t mean anything anyway. We are an inclusive sport. My two boys play for Narellan Jets in under 7s and under 6s and there is a wide range of ethnicity’s playing the game.
The whole of Sydney has been Multicultural for a long time, you need to get with the times

Until universal healthcare becomes the platform for one of the major parties in the USA there is nothing even coming close to socialism over there.The USA is so far behind the civilised world in so many areas in regards to looking after their own people it is staggering.Anyway we are moving off topic
