That's not the episode I'm referring to.You are correct.
While he tacitly acknowledged it was a long shot - he specifically did not rule out the Tigers.
And if he had done so - it would have been negligent in his role as manager where he is legally obliged to canvas all options and offers.
This enables them to use any over-bid by the Tigers or Redcliffe etc as leverage for negotiations with their preferred destination club.
Munster or Moses will not be coming to the Tigers. It's naive to believe they would. It's clear managers leak to the media to jack up the asking price for the teams their players actually want to go to. Not to say we shouldn't try... but it's not going to happen. Top line players in the prime of their careers will not come.
The media, particularly Fox know full well what is happening. Way too many have conflicts of interest to be neutral.
In fairness to Anasta, he keeps it pretty balanced and I don’t think he promotes his players on the show.It's been raised before but good for a rehash rugba.
It was mentioned that Phil Gould should not have an opinion on 100%footy and be connected to other clubs....now with the dogs. He was the one advocating we were crazy offering Cameron Ciraldo 5 years and big money...look what the dogs have gone and done.
You can throw in Munsters manager hosting NRL 360 and there are others. Braith told Kent that Munster had no chance of coming to the tigers.
Agreed Papali'i and Koroisau are both fantastic signings. I would argue that Koroisau is probably heading toward the back end of his career and we might not get the best out of him. But I would be happy to be proven wrong the next 3 years!Sure, our WT are far from being the favourite for such big name signings.
That said, not even a year has passed since the vast majority would have said the same things about Koroisau and Papali'i, yet both have WT contracts registered with the NRL for the next couple of seasons or more.
Naive? Yeah, somewhat, but certainly not impossible for the club to land either for 2024 if still available and dollars tabled.

I agree mate, I like Braith.In fairness to Anasta, he keeps it pretty balanced and I don’t think he promotes his players on the show.
What Gould did is a bit out of line.
It's true money talks and I don't doubt that we could get decent first graders on overs if we wanted to. I think the club have acknowledged this is not the way to success though. I'm just very sceptical that top line players at the peak of their careers e.g Munster, Moses would come and spend the next 3 years playing for us no matter the offer, as it stands. Not to say we shouldn't try... but the fact it always seems to be in the media is a pretty good insight into what the true motivations are.Money talks. Tigers shown they're willing to offer players a longer contract to get a player.
I thought Braith is his manager? Didn’t know he was a fan 🤣I agree mate, I like Braith.
There would be a bit of talk offset though. If people don't believe that, they have their head in the sand.
In one episode of 360, in the segment of 'Ask Kenty' ..Braith read out a fans letter that asked if Munster is a chance to play for the Weststigers and Kenty looked at Braith and smiled and said...'no way'
When asked by Braith why not he smiled again and said I know someone and he said noway. So he's telling Munsters manager noway??
If people don't believe Braith told Paul this being Musters manager trying to drum up business then that's crazy.
Surely Braith new the question from the fan or the question could have been scripted.
Getting back to the point about media personalities being involved with a club or players...this is an example of them manipulating their position for personal gain. If it wasn't and was purely coincidental then it's still wrong.
He certainly wasn't one of our best players hey.Didn’t know Braith was a fan 🤣
He’s usually quite happy to put a back hander in when he gets the opportunity.He certainly wasn't one of our best players hey.
I don't know why, we topped up his super.He’s usually quite happy to put a back hander in when he gets the opportunity.
He only has Munster... Maybe one other first grader... Some. Juniors and some golfers I think from Memory... But I agree with you he's diplomatic when they're talking munster/contractsIn fairness to Anasta, he keeps it pretty balanced and I don’t think he promotes his players on the show.
What Gould did is a bit out of line.
And from the club's perspective if you sign a player 18 months in advance and you go backwards from then on, are in the wooden spoon position, and are talking about another two/three year rebuild - don't expect the player to not be questioning or regretful about the decision - especially when his current club is about to play in a premium final.Then don't sign a contract 18 months in advance.

I like Braith.
I'd ban myself but I'm not a mod ha haHow are you not banned for this comment. Eew.
Always darkest before the dawn, my friend. You want to spend the best part of thirty years as a Liverpool fan watching United take every trophy on offer. Brings a certain skewed perspective to life lol.Don't follow the Wests Tigers then mate, if you're after romance. They never put out and they'll only break your heart.
Maybe the tigers can start a new trend and get Newcastle to pay us to take Brooks. For mine it's a win win situation if this could happen.Might no be the correct thread to post to , but I see on wwwos website another article/podcast with Joey John’s trying to get Luke brooks to Newcastle .
The protracted and public attempts by that club to get brooks to break his contract is disgusting and I cannot believe tigers have not asked the nrl to dock Newcastle points for next season.
Nrl must put in a rule anyone employed by media cannot be involved with clubs. John’s using his mouth piece to lure brooks to break contract
