Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Demps]

You really wanna know my thoughts Steve?

I think you're drunk and need to put down your phone.

We have 30 signed for next season, not 32.

Starford Toa is also not signed for 3 more years, he is signed til the end of 2025 (12 more months)

Toa is contracted for 2025 and 2026

Hodgo is in my top 3 favourite players, but as a coach, I don’t think he has it.

So Hethrington to “visit” the facilities next week. Going off recent rumours I suspect it’s a little more than just a visit

I heard the Eels got him….hmmm

 

[Lestronge]

Myabe..but its not the GM wo turns reserve graders into stars.
And u cant tell me for a moment that any GM wld buy any player without Bellamys seal of approvalIt wld be career limiting!

In u18s he would ….

 

[Buttface]

Lets have a crack at the Kansas Quarter back. Makes sense.

I just checked his stats.
Forward Passes are at 100%!!!

Hodgson has been coaching in league and union for more then 10 years. He isn't exactly inexperienced in coaching ranks - in fact that would make him our most experienced coach

I hope he's improved. The last time he coached at WT the results were awful and he headed off to France. Love Hodgo though.

Was thinking the same he didn’t achieve much in same role previously and the Rugby efforts ??? Better options I am sure rather than the old boys network

2 seasons last time 5th and 10th. Not horrific really and nsw cup seasons can be affected by what happens above them

Sorry if I missed it but when is the Tigers end of year awards where they announced players leaving?

First I’ve heard. Wouldn’t make a whole heap of sense unless Hopgood moves position but he’s up there with the best locks in the game on his day. Seemed only a formality would stop him ending up at the tigers

Absolutely. Good guy,but in various roles Has achieved nothing as a coach.
Last thing we need is Benji 2.0
Need a proven experienced coach
Madge didn't work out for us,but a lot of variables in there from ceo /Chairman down to leadership group plus Madges personal shortcomings..but we need better than good old boys to move forward

11th of October

Can’t wait for Michael Chammas to report “tigers planned late award night as they presumed they’d be playing October footy”

Lol, Richo got rid of the Grand final luncheon moved the awards night later. It also allows for the NRLw awards to be done the same night.

That's actually a bit better than I remembered but I can remember being happy to see him go. Of course, no-one following on has covered themselves in glory.

All I'm saying is Brian To'o has twice now shut down any speculation of him wanting to leave & the Penrith CEO has come out & shut down any talk of him leaving either. He's contracted to Penrith till 2027 & there is no chance in hell they'll be letting him go early. Just saying so we don't have to see 5 pages of imaginary backlines with Brian To'o in them.

As I’ve stated a few weeks ago…. this isn’t dead. Certainly not from To’o’s side at least.

1. Bula
2. To’o
3. Turuva
4. Olam
5. Skelton
6. Galvin
7. Luai

Sign me up.

Where did Gardiner end up?

 

[yeahcaz]

Where did Gardiner end up?

Penrith. We had plenty of good assistant coaches and they all end up at the same place

Was Gardiner good?

I seem to recall we had:
Madge
Gardiner
Nathan Cayless

and we came last. I mean that's great coaching, you know to move a side that is near the bottom of the ladder to dead set last.

Gardiner did a good job coaching our NSW cup side think we were 2nd or 3rd on the ladder the year he coached them.
