Plodder quota reached

Ur joking 🥴

 

[tony soprano]

The Tigers instagram page started following Blake Austin...

Started or always have

 

[Demps]

Started or always have

Follow many former players


Russell Packer, Jye Hitchcox, Mikaele, Luciano

Murchie the saviour you reckon?

 

[Demps]

Murchie is solid but harmless.
Perfect fit for our nice guy pack.

Hard pass...
Rather meat heads like Sua or Bateman.

We need hitters, too many harmless players.

He even looks like Garner 😂

Anyone know if Mikaele has managed to pull his finger out over in the UK?

 

[Stevec]

The only good place for Brooks is with another organisation

True but he's got 1year left and do we want to pay 600 k to have him play against us?

 

[Stevec]

Nothing can be done at all about the board.

That's like dooming us
Cant we at least have all members of the board be there to represent the interests of the WESTS TIGERS and Only the Wests Tigers . If some members say their prime responsibility is to represent the interests of the Western Suburbs Magpies or the Balmain Tigers then if situations arise where the interests of the JV team are in conflict with the two original clubs then those directors would be actively working against the interests of the Wests Tigers and should resign due to conflict of interest !

Only the signings of Martin and Brown will flip my concern for next year.

 

[cktiger]

Yep it's so stupid like they think the new board and ceo will be miracle workers

I’d take my chances with carefully selected replacements.
The current board have proven, over a long period, that they aren’t up to it.

 

[Spartan117]

I reckon Douhei back to Fullback. He doesn’t give the outside backs enough ball

We don't have many decent backs.

Only Naden, Kenny and Nofo (On his day) are first graders.

AJ, STARFORD JUNIOR P, TOMMY T, The other Junior,


These wouldn't make many other forst frad teams.

Need to recruit some speed.

I think we have to support Junior Tupou. He does have some real potential. I also think Tommy Talau will be an asset to us once his confidence returns from the ACL injury. Pauga to never see firsts again....

I wouldn't be down on any player until they have had the opportunity to be exposed to the pre-season under Sheens/Farah/Marshall/Furner.

So it looks as though only new signings might be Charlie Staines from Penrith and some English forwards maybe John Bateman (ex Raider) from Super League.

If Liam Martin is to leave Penrith in my opinion he is most likely to end up an Eel not a WT.

True, Liam is contracted until 24 tho.

You Believe - Or you hope?

He couldn't really have been considered an "Asset" Before any injury....
Just another big kid with natural talent that never really had to earn it.

Seen 1000 of them Swallowed by NRL before - He looks to be no different to me.
