I think we need to play the game smarter. I think Staines for 1 year is smart. These guys need to prove themselves to earn upgraded contracts. The problem is if they do perform we'll have to pay up because they can start negotiating straight away.

Staines is a good signing because he is probably our best outside back. He is probably also one of the highest paid.

And fastest player to play for Wests tigers for at least the past 5 years.

Two minor corrections, Bob Boland and Bob Mara, Les has been in the slam for a dozen years after being identified as Michael Harley’s cohort in drug running.

Bobby Boland and the wingers Mack and Mara wow that's going back in time im old enough to remember sitting on the hill at LO as a kid watching them

 

[Tigerwould]

He was voted players player this season

Klem’s 2022 stats

maybe Les Hanigan and Laurie Fagan rings a bell Hal

 

[WT2K]

David Klemmer done

Not good enough according to some on here

 

[Stevec]

Cant believe all the Staines hype he's a reserve grade Penrith back who played Nrl when one of their backs out injured or suspended . Yes he's a promising handy quick winger don't know if he could handle FB ? Yes first signing since Naden is a positive but its not a game changer .

Gotta give him a little more credit coming from a dual premiership side where securing a spot is fierce. Imagine he walks into most other starting NRL sides....as a winger for now.

Do you ever post anything positive?

 

[Speed2burn]

Staines is an upgrade but if we are relying on him to get out of this mess we are in deep poo

Klemmer would add punch and hopefully teach the current mob how to not be pussies

S

What would Gildart know about playing in the NRL?
He spent the year playing for Foundation NSWRL clubs

Scored 5 tries for the bears first game. If only Madge could develop players

 

[wonka]

I'd say it's because we agreed to take him at full freight for 2023 and will weigh up his value moving forward into 2024 after that. He is reportedly on $500k. This was a story a few months ago.

My Penrith source says he was on $350k next year, same as Peachey.

 

[Harvey]

Staines is a great get. Anyone from that Panthers system is a good signing.

Yes. Can’t believe we let Tamou go

 

[nrlsurvivor]

This is page 7343 and it is 7.43 am on 21st October.I wonder how many pages will be added today in regards to signings that are all speculation,I would say it will be a minimum of 15 but i hope at the end of the day the brains trust will have made a signing for us

The brains trust came good today

 

[Tigerdave]

Yeah I think Staines is an upgrade and a 1 year deal is smart.

 

[Harvey]

What was Langmack like?

Great coach

 

[Harvey]

Old mate in Hull said Staines has gone home to Forbes to help out with the flood situation and all negotiations are on hold.

Catching up on posts. That mail was average

 

[Harvey]

Staines is a meh signing. Looked average in a good side. Looked good in reserve grade.

Have seen how that goes here as we have recycled a number of these sort of players over the years.

Obviously we need to sign some players to replace the garbage we are leaving out for the council clean up, but anywhere near 500k for what is another club’s reserve grader is ridiculous.

His form at fullback looks much better then his form on the wing IMO.

 

[Odessa]

This i can confirm. Buderim spice rum +ginger is fantastic.

The Wildling ginger beer from Ballina is also excellent

Talking of Rum what's your favourite I have been asked to buy a bottle for a present and I will spend up to $100 I don't drink rum at all

Bob Mara a great guy, Les was wild and mixed with the wrong crowd but was a funny guy.
