Thank Christ there was no follow up to the podcast he did with Pusgo

Meh I didn't mind it.

Leb, I have another leb mate who says same thing about Moses.

So what you are saying is we are $200k/$250k above dogs per annum? And he still hasn’t signed with us?

If that’s correct we’re done.

LM &Munster 2.0

Let’s be real we were never a chance of getting munster 😂

 

[Camel2281]

Do you watch rugby league? That comment will just about do me.

I agree with him. Wighton is close to the dumbest player in the NRL. Athletically gifted but he's dumb as

 

[Scorpion]

That isnt how I remember it.

I remenber there was a scandal that eels undercut him and offered him 400 or 450. Then came back at 500 whereas the dogs came in with a no BS up front offer. I distinctly recall journalists reporting that that why Mhoney was impressed, dogs went stright for the jugular.

Eels offer was 3 yrs at $450Dogs was 4 yrs at $650
Also Burton offered a upgraded 4 yr for $3.7m

 

[Moh]

I feel much more confident in the Moses chat than JAC or LM. But let's see...

I'd give them AD (if he wants to play in the halves) if it brings Moses in 23.

Are you their agent - or do you pluck those figures from the same place the journos you evidently trust do?

Honestly us not signing moses does not mean were done.
Cmon were tigers Fans. Clubs worst halves pairing Moses + Brooks! We damn well know this.

Were done because our rep is crap. Players see us as the next spoon.

Also, odd for WT to be compaired to Parra. I see Parra as having good players but having Money hungry players like Gutho, Moses and Matterson. Other then Doueihi and Nofo dont see the same at the WT.

Instead i see Brooks and a bunch of players getting stupid overs and long term contracts on low performance.

It took Brad Arthur 4 years + to rebuild Parra. Were in for the same ride.

You just invalidated any right to an adult opinion by suggesting non-tacklers Douehi & Nofa are our "good players"!!

While not structured particularly well, I think he was calling them money hungry.

 

[tigerballs]

With 3rd Party it is probably more. Was speaking to someone high up at the Storm a few weeks back and the Bulldogs are using alot of 3rd Party deals to secure profile players as those deals provide multiple benefits now/future to some players.

I've heard the same from a good source, Laundy will buy a premiership. I was told the Dogs official offer for MM wasn't much more than the Eels but the extras will most likely be too good to refuse.
Also Corey Allen was paid out to go to the Roosters. Bet that doesn't appear on the salary cap.

 

[happy_tiger]

He's not winning a premiership at WT or Dogs either.

He only wins one at Penrith or Melbourne in my opinion

 

[Westsboi2019]

Isn't he a WT fan? Wish he could have done that for us.

Just a friendly reminder... Our club re-signed this "non-tackler" Nofo, as a Winger at 29 Years of age to a 5 year contract at 500k per year!
If I don't have a right to an adult opinion, Who on earth are the toddlers running this show!


To clarify what I said. "I see Parra as having good players but having Money hungry players like Gutho, Moses and Matterson. Other then Doueihi and Nofo dont see the same at the WT."
I was highlighting that Gutho, Moses, etc were Money Hungry grubs. I see Doueihi and Nofo in that boat. True I lumped them with actual good players like Moses and Instagram above. Yes, fair point their not good players who are money hungry grubs.

Who are our "Good" players then?

...
Brent Naden? -- I see him starting at Center or wing in many teams.
I want to say Daine Laurie, I think the kid has potential and talent. Being honest though not many teams would take him at Fullback or 5/8.
..
^Hitting the bottom of the barrel here.

Everyone we have brought this season in the hopes they won't tank like everyone we have brought over here? Sure Api, Paps and Klemmer are good on paper, they haven't taken the field with us.

2023 is going to be a long year.

Disagree CCat.

Nofoaluma was one of the only marketable players atbthe time he resigned.

AD is recognised by commentators etc as one of our best players. A hard worker and apparently loyal. I don't blame him for looking across at others on bigger salaries and asking for an upgrade.

 

[fainty]

so todays the day???

If he can get more elsewhere good luck to him. If you are referring to Brooks if he stays his deal will be restructured similar to what occurred with Chris Lawrence. He will be a one club player like Lawrence which is a fine achievement,

 

[Magpies1969]

If Ken is fit to start on the wing in 2023 do you think Sheens to add some pace to the backline will maybe go for a centre pairing of Naden and Staines?

For those who watch the lower grades what attributes does Feledy have? He appears to be a try scoring machine for his statics.

Theres a lot of us that wouldn't be giving money to the Tigers management based on the last decade.


Cautiously optometric

That argument only works if you aren't comparing Tigers to Bulldogs. Bulldogs have had as much infighting shambles and player misbehaviour as any club the past 10 years, and absolutely wooden spoon bottomed out as bad as any club 2020-21.

 

[jirskyr]

He is apparently a WT supporter. Were we asleep at the wheel?
1st Jaycar now Laundry.

I reject the assertion that anyone willing to support Bulldogs was ever a Wests Tigers supporter.

Fair enough to not want to financially back WT, but to actively finance an opponent and still claim to be a Tigers fan? Impossible.

Could you imagine anyone on here ever getting rich and ploughing that money into Souths or Parramatta? Ridiculous.
