Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Roar_Power]

I think we are three good forwards short.

Ie. We need to do better than Klemmer, Seyfarth and Twal. Who do we replace them with?

My concern is minutes for Hunt.

May can play big minutes but burnout will catch up with him.

Seyfarth and Twal are contracted long term.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Maybe Bellamy has found a replacement for the recently retired prop .....Christian Welch

How funny if this is referring to Stef?

DISGRUNTLED STAR EYES RETURN​

Which player switched clubs in 2024 and now realises he made a terrible mistake?

The player - one of the biggest-name signings from last season - isn't happy in his new surroundings and would love nothing better than to return to his old club for 2026.

The former club would take him back in a heartbeat … IF they could find room in the salary cap.

Time will tell.

if you could lose klemmer and get Stef back yes please

 

[Buttface]

Don’t cut off your nose despite your face.
If you can upgrade the team?

But yeah I’d be hesitant as we have upgraded him. 🤷‍♂️

 

[BUGSY MALONE]

Seyfarth and Twal are contracted long term.

The above two names paint a sad picture of where the Wests Tigers are situated in respect of any prospects of playing finals footy! Whilst Seyforth is now starting to play with some mongrel neither would seriously make the top 17 of any of the other 16 NRL Clubs (IMO). It is still a long and winding road for WT supporters.

To an extent but mbye, Reynolds, mautulino, maumalo, tamou, packer, Bateman, Klemmer were all bought past their best and the ones who left in the past haven't gone on to do anything. Is it our club ruining players or us just buying duds? It's probably a bit of both. Papalii was in his prime, but his attitude was obvious even before he eventually joined us

Yea, they were all brought past their best...
But they were all offering something when they were brought.

Look at the list:
Tamou, Leulia Grand finalists..
Roberts, top 4 souths team.
Packer, helped dragons make the 8.

Ironically the player I was screaming "NO! do not sign", Mbye... probably did the best out of all those signings.

Isn't Stef switching clubs in 2025?

Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. Makes a bit more sense 😛

Meanwhile, there has been absolute crickets about our wayward ex Prop Jordan Miller - any news folks?

Professional hot dog eater. Look for him on ESPN.

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

What's happened to Tumeth?
I don't think he's even had a run in the reserve grade trial.
Has he been disposed of or is this a not too subtle message?

Maybe he has the hot dog stand franchise on the Wayne Pearce Hill selling to his No. 1 customer Jordan "Kransky" Miller?

I would have a stab that its Spencer Leniu. He's a Penrith boy through and through and they did his mate Terrell dirty. Although its not often players go to the Roosters and are unhappy

 

[Roar_Power]

Crazy that Klemmer may have played his last game this close to round 1. Only creates instability and if we get any less than Francis Molo in return, management just aren't taking 1st grade results seriously enough, especially for a club with a wooden spoon three-peat.

 

[426Tlgerland]

Funny how we look like we are trying to move Klemm on , I would have had him in my run on side round 1
May , TDS , Klemmmer
Sam f , Bird. , Seyfarth
Bench - Hunt , pole , Twal
If he goes we need a solid back rower who runs hard lines and we still need a centre

Yes, they wouldn't be in the top 13.

But I could see both being in a top 17, you know a 3rd prop...

This is concerning, We can lament Twal all we want but I don't see us having better people pushing him out. Romey, we need your Riff Phonebook!

 

[innsaneink]

Only WTs would push an important player out 2 weeks from seasons start... Unbievably amateur tho if we can get out of his contract AND replied with better... Then weve hit the bonus feature... Big if tho

 

[yeti]

I don't really see Klem offering any more than Twal does. Little impact with the ball but quite strong defensively. If by moving D.K. on we can pick up another younger forward with better go forward, then i'm all for it. As for Tumeth - that really is perplexing. I really don't understand why he wasn't paid out to free up another spot. He is the invisible man at the moment and offering nothing except as a roadblock to top 30 spot for someone we may actually get to see on the field.
