Sounds like Benji is texting everyone. Time will tell if the "spray and pray" approach works. There is a fairly good chance it will backfire.

Maybe he needs to stick a gun to their heads and make them an offer they can’t refuse 😂

 

[Roar_Power]

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.

BB, there is plenty of hope in my post 😉

Al Pacino told his fiancé that his father (the Godfather) had arranged a release for his nephew from a Hollywood agent. His fiance naively asked how that was achieved - Pacino says neutrally he made him an offer he couldn't refuse - he would either have his signature or brains on the release.

Has there been any credible links with Bateman possibly coming over, or is it coming from Kent saying were looking at a couple of pom's?

The real question is how are we going to fit Munster, Dylan Brown, and Tedesco in the salary cap 😂

If we sign Bateman, Leinu and Tedesco, retain Hastings are we a happy lot?

😂😂😂 add and win PowerBall.. same likelihood

Easy, we employ the Rorters or Dogs accountant!😁

Imagine we went after Tedesco, Manu, Keary, Tupou, Crighton, JWH, Radley, Sualii, Walker.. how would we fit them under the cap????

Him and Bateman are besties 😂

I don't watch Fox/360 etc, but have a question for those that do please:

Now that Sheens is back, is Braith playing nicer with us? How many players does he manage? I only know of Munster; I'm glad we've initiated the conversation, but we'd be a longshot. Wondering who else he looks after and whether, due to past incidents involving Gatorade and strapping tape, we aren't even a consideration for his clients?

Can anyone shed any light? Cheers

 

[tiger_scott]

Also, on the issue of player managers, wouldn't it be a better approach for Sheens or Warren, to approach one or two and say: we have x amount of dollars and are chasing a package of players. Who have you got? This way, none are coming on their own, won't be expected to be our savior. We could even list position preferences for the bigger agents, that have quite a few on their books. Wouldn't it be lovely to announce three or four players, a FRF, 1 or 2 2RF, CTR, all at once.

I watch 360 every night but Braith is very guarded..He was sort of forced to discuss Munster and his meetings with Storm as Kent was carrying on like he knew more than Braith .All that came out was Storm had improved their offer to now being in the ballpark but Munster won't consider his position till after GF

IMO Braith has been fine with his comments regarding the Tigers for years. Supporters have been way too sensitive when it comes to Anasta.

 

[Camel2281]

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

Yes. The $500+ in savings can be used to attract a better quality backrower or the like

It's a qld team race

Why would you consider baitman with a big transfer fee he would close to $1,000,000 with transfer and salary and we all remember the way he walked away from Canberra when under contract there team was way better than these reserve graders

You might think this post is in the wrong thread but it goes to who we should be signing. There's a book by Gary Lester called "Clouds of Dust Buckets of Blood", which is a history of the Western Suburbs Rugby League Club". In it there's a wonderfui quote from Noel Kelly in which he says:
"There wasn't one Wests player I didn't want to play with .... not one dud. I loved Wests. It is the greatest club in the world. To put a Wests jumper on was equal to wearing an Australian jumper."

Wouldn't it be great if we could say win, lose or draw, there wasn't one dud in our team. And, if we could say the players feel a great honour to play with Wests Tigers and prize the jersey highly. I said something in an earlier post about culture, or the lack of it at WT. We should be recruiting players who have these characteristics and, more important, we should be making sure our juniors are imbued with this spirit and want to play with WT above all else.

Pipedream? I hope not.

It’s in my library. Great read for magpie old timers.
