Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Stevec]

Staines is better than toa, kepoa…

Agree but that's a low bar

He was pushing to come back early and the coach was very happy for him to do so.

Same reason we saw him play in rounds 16 & 17?
I can understand Madge getting put under pressure by the board to become a short term thinker, but Noddy was under no such pressure? Or was he?

 

[tony soprano]

Why would Maguire do that?

Keep his job

So Rothfield thinks we tried keeping quiet about an interest In Nathan Brown because of fear Parramatta could offer Papalii a few more dollars 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, the standard of rugby league journalism in this city is diabolical.

Yeh odd take by buzz.

Pawwa could have 10mil in their cap and it wouldn't help them

The journalists as you did in league are so diabolical it's actually beyond embarrassing

How they have jobs is beyond comprehension

Rugby league journalists are the journalists the rest of the media world reject

Can the mind and body experts please analysis this one for me

Where there’s smoke there’s fire 😂😂

So this point of discussion belongs in the “Wests Tigers Board & CEO” thread.

No, the ankle was good to go by then but he then broke his wrist. His form was also better in rounds 16 and 17.

Farlow is a blast from the past. Dwyer & Dicko are 2 others.
Dicko probably had the best tackle technique I have ever seen & was a sure bet to play 1st grade, if he did he would've been our Radley before Radley. Would cut players inhalf. Shame as his body just couldn't handle the crunch.

MT - totally agree with you re Dicko although his attack was not great, didn't have much speed and was not going to get much bigger than he was however he did have one of the best tackle techniques i have seen also.

“Special”

He probably talked about everything else except the players/team!

 

[clontarfkid]

RTS at $700+is a much better and more proven option than either Laurie or Staines at around $500
Sort of quality who will make a difference we need to build this team..and is realistcally attainable to WTS subject to Roosters farcically finding yet another sombrero...!!

 

[Scare]

Are we all taking that Munster comment as a swipe ?

I didn't take it that way.
Thought it sounded positive.

Thoughts?

Anyone who follows bloke in a bar also would have seen Munster make a joke about the broncos signing him, nothing wrong with a laugh he already knows what he’s doing hopefully us 🙏🏻

 

[SeanT]

Yet !!!

Long time before next season starts

Add another 100k+ to that. He is older but his defence and positional play alone is worth it.

If he is making jokes about joining certain clubs i can guarantee he isn’t joining one of those

There is a role for all three at WTs.

According to my sources, it's still Thursday.

 

[Curaeus]

Sheens has handled the Munster thing just right. Said to just let us know if you might be interested in joining WT and we can talk. Munster and Anasta know we can almost certainly match or beat any other offers they might get. Getting someone like Munster would also make us a lot more appealing as a destination for other elite players. That said, still think he's probably off to the Dolphins.

 

[boonboon]

I think he will go to Dolphins mainly because the Mrs will want to be back in qld now they have kids. The one big advantage is we could send someone to Storm in 23 giving Munster his cash early as opposed to Dolphins where he would wait a year.

 

[dazza65]

agreed, very low bar but he is better than those two, has genuine pace which we lack and a significant upgrade on Peachey if the swap thingo is still the plan - so... probably an ok deal.. 🤷‍♂️
