Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Buttface]

Is it time for our chair to call in that chit with Peter to call Andrew Giles?
Sheens wants him to play in the 2nd trial game.

Remind me what Lee Hap does for a living again. Was it Media manager? Grounds keeper?

Taupau to join Broncos on one-year deal

Isiah Iiongi has been resigned on a long term deal.
Super talent.

What club Needaname ??

For some reason that makes me happy that parra did not get what they wanted. I hope they are stuck with Brown for 2023 coz obviously there’s friction between him and the coach and that will be destabilising.
Problem is though, I think Tapou will probably go alright at the donkeys, used off the bench and I hate the donkeys.

There is definitely a click at parra. Brad Arthur is known to be fickle and a self presevationist above all.

Our Coe and the first game player there is rugby. Pathetic

Give em something....


The whole place is Wests Tigers branded.

Good call champion @Kaito:

Concords first game has been announced! We are thrilled to host both Two Blues and the Waratahs in a trial match on February 18. Each team will play 2 x 40 minute halves at the refurbished oval.

Let me know if you guys are going to be there
Should be a good day but don't expect a win by the Pirates but we will give the Tah's a good hit out. Two Blues have a solid team as well

5,000 officially but can fit more ...

5,000 seats but there is a hill at each end of the ground as well

@balmain boy - West Rugby have played there from 1900 and it actually owns the lease to the ground so I think they are within their rights to be the first team to play there

But if overreaction.
WT not exclusive owners and don’t control that aspect of usage.

Think it's out of necessity. The CoE is being shared, union doesn't pull in the crowds league does, so will give the council and any other stake holders /operators of the CoE the opportunities to iron out and issues that might arise from hosting events at the ground. I imagine whatever issues arise would be easier to deal with after 3000 people than after 10000. It's a good test. I just wonder if we went into lockdown again if the Tigers would just all live out of the CoE. And play at concord till things opened up again ?

Can’t believe that we can’t get Bateman a visa , considering we have a legal firm to call on . This seems very strange.

The club seems to be very quiet about something which appears to be public knowledge.While it is good that there don't appear to be leaks from the heirachy, if the club seems to be prepared to make constant fluff pieces you would think that a statement from the football department would be made as to why our highest cost newcomer to the club is being delayed on visa issues.

For the record i still have large reservations about getting Bateman

Think it's over exaggerated click bate. When they say miss start of the seasons means trials which not for away. Possibly just the first one.

Did we replace Aloiai ??

 

[Tiger Tarl]

Personal opinion, as always when the club tries to land a “big name” player the WT get used just to bump up contracts. I know we have signed really well for 2023. I thought by now we would at least one more signing for 2024. Who are we going to use this marquee $$$ on?

It’s all about timing of when the visa application was put through which sucks. Remember the visa isn’t just for Bateman. He & his family will get their visa’s approved & be here in the next month or 2.

Isn't his missus an Aussie. Wouldn't think she needs a visa if she is coming home.
