Fainu and any other players who have the ability if not the experience to play NRL. There is little to be gained from signing players who are career NSW Cup players. No doubt the coaching team are across the issue.

So the slimmmy eels can re- sign Moses and brown to multi million deals then get joffa of us then get Connor as well , yet again we sit on our hands and do bugger all , really is there anyone actually working to get players in at all .

Exactly my way of thinking The Chad.
Most of our supporters seem to think we need a few superstars otherwise we will be stuck on the bottom of the ladder for years to come.
Obviously a few superstars would have been nice, but we have tried and can’t convince them to come at the moment.
Plan B is to sign some elite young players to go with the ones we already have and compliment them by recruiting some under rated players who could be looking for opportunity to play more regular NRL.
As per your post and plenty of other suggestions, these type of players are out there in bucket loads, just a matter of signing the right ones that help cover our current deficiencies.
Build a strong squad with genuine competition for NRL positions and we will improve dramatically in 2024.

The fear is a team full of young elite players will get smashed most weeks, they won't cop that for long, because their development will stall. Theyll leave for a more successful side.
We have at least $2.5m to spend. Buy elite talent, everyone is off contract in the NRL nowadays.

We only get a small insight into the recruitment at WTs. We have read the club is planning for the future under Marshall which likely means pain in the short term. I am prepared to see what eventuates. There is enough negativity around the place without me adding to it.

Because they’re winning regularly in the 8 if not the top 4! That’s why they’re getting the players.

Super depressing tbh..
IMO we must be the very last resort for players if they get desperate.
Fulton has his work ahead of him just to get a reserve grade half-back.

We don't know what recruitment is happening. My point is just because we don't read or hear about it doesn't mean it is not happening or that WTs is not attempting to improve the roster. We were told to expect this so I believed most are or were on the same page.
 
These last few pages, all I have been reading is fullbacks to centre, fullbacks to five eighth, fullbacks to half back, centres to wingers and a whole lot of nonsense - I don't mean this with any disrespect, but this has repeatedly been one of the Wests Tigers biggest issues of the last 10 or more years.

Pushing square pegs into round holes. Until we start seeing specialist players in their positions, we're basically always going to be a reserve grade team.

Can't remember (Until Starford To's rise in form) the last time we had a genuine strike weapon at centre. Tim Simona, maybe?

Brooks has always been a 6 and been pushed into the 7 role.

Kepao'a is probably confused weekly as to where he is meant to be at what time.

Look at all the good teams, they have gun specialist players, playing in their preferred positions, with some exceptions when the talent is actually international level, and capable of individual brilliance anywhere on the park. Ie Joey Manu, Latrell Mitchell, Stephen Chrichton. These are the outliers, not the norm.

Scott Fulton needs to be targeting players who thrive in their preferred position. Tim Sheens philosophy of players being able to play two positions is horrible. We just keep ending up jack of all trades, and masters of none.

I wonder Caleb Clarke is still looking to switch to the NRL after the RUWC .
Was mentioned a bit a year ago & it’s coming up soon .
I think we were linked to him at some stage .
 
Absolute proof we don't know what we are doing with recruitment
We sign Pellow and Cherrington and a couple of months release them
The trial and error goes on .
Problem the clubs racks up the errors and the fans suffer the trial ! LOL
