Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Thats correct, it was a sex tour...

So what if it was ? He was gone 4 weeks ….Whats that got to do with you . What if he negotiated the sex your trip when he came across . Had all the brothels from Amsterdam to London picked out for years lol .
in all seriousness , who knows what the fruits of his labour can and will be . And the EsL is notorious for being insular and self serving , it would not surprise me at all they were time wasting , and lacking any real desire to negotiate , build relationships etc .
If it means we can get 1 of our bad contracts off the books , that would be worth it .
Not to mention , what if he was over there for corporate sponsorship , an international company that his head quarters in Europe somewhere . You honestly have no idea what the true purpose of his trip .
Or maybe you do and he was all about turning that red light out lol

Some of your contacts in the industry reach out to you with details Tuck?? 😅😂🤣

You don't just release a player under contract with huge potential without something in return.

Just be patient.

I think we will sign lodge tbh

Bullemor would be better

Bullemor would be better

Yeah he would but Lodge is off contract + an enforcer that is lacked in this pack. Worth a 2-3 year deal IMO

I’d take him. He’s a much different guy. Met him while at Brisbane. Quite a chill guy - seems to have grown up. Still a decent middle. We need another forward even if we managed this. Paseka was mentioned but has signed long term deal.

I

Broncos don’t mess around … Walters goes from grand final to missing the 8 in 12 months and see ya later …

It's not good enough. It's a top 4 roster.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Bullemor would be better

And even better if Manly agreed to take Bateman & Naden at full freight to enable to release of Large

oh i'd take paseka any day, that guy is a beast.

Bullemor would be better

He doesn't seem to fit in at Manly
He is a backup player

I rate him, he'd be a good signing for us.
Puts in effort on the field and in the gym too.
Would be a smart move.

Yep.

He's Liam Martin lite.

High workrate, high intensity, hectic trainer and highly dependable.

Great, underwhelming on paper but high value output signing.

Would be an excellent get imo.

Lodge on a 3 year deal? you're off your chops mate

Clubs have rosters.
And there's pathways.
And there's development.

Going back to Richo's comments in April this year, the club's forward focus was going to be ".... South-Western Sydney is the key step in helping turn the club into an NRL powerhouse."

Tigers eye South West Sydney shift as the key step in powerhouse push

Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson has declared a renewed focus on South-Western Sydney can help turn the club into an NRL powerhouse.

No one player, no player manager, no individual is going to be here that does not want to buy into the Wests Tigers "crocodile roll."

I'm supporting Richo and Benji and their recruitment plan to get us off the bottom and be a competitive team long term. They are already being position selective as to who comes on board, all aimed towards a long term objective.

Season 2025 under Luai - committed for 5 years as leader - is where the "winning" starts and once that happens, the young ones will know there really is a path to the top.

Well

 

[Tito Santana]

Well

$150k a year is a bargain. I’d offer him $300k per year for two years

 

[Betterdays22]

Well

Not a lodge fan but that would be a serious low-ball

Don't know about anyone else but I personally doubt that Fat Bludge would come back to the Wests Tigers after we showed him the door.

I'm still laughing. 🤣

He’d be off contract when he’s 32… props usually have their best years around 30. What’s the problem?
