Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yeah maybe. And really you and I should not be “ feuding “ about it .. obviously we both are rather strong fans of West’s tigers and really just want success and our good players to stay .. I guess you feel you are getting out front of it emotionally or something which you are entitled to ,, I just tire of reading about it but perhaps should not let it get to me to the point that I criticise you for it … 🤝. Mate ,, let’s just hope for a big win this weekend over the Eels ..

think we should win this weekend

I hope so the stinky media will have their guns loaded just waiting for us to trip up, man I can't stand them nitpicking parasites.

There is no excuse to lose. Benji has by and large the team he wanted. Parramatta coming off a belting. At what point do we stop blaming the roster for our failings?

If we don't get up, Benji will be under immense scrutiny and pressure

we all know doueihi was clammering for the 6 jersey obvious question marks about his knee + the lebanon connection, surely eels take a shot to get him cheap and wave the 6 jersey in the air.. we could make a case for everyone on the roster at this point 🤣

this thread has been in pure shambles the last few days panic panic panic

Yes just ridiculous after 2 games in the firing squad will be lining up from all angles, glad I'm not Benj this would be testing time for him lol.

Telegraph reporting the Klemmer move to Dragons is done

I would expect this means the May deal isn't far away

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Klem to the Dargs on a one year deal... understand why it's being done but personally not a fan of having to rely on Kit Laulilii or Matamua as the next men up depth wise.

Interesting article on commentating and perceived conflicts of interest.

MSN

My main issue is with Gould. He has the aura like Politis, noone wants to anger because everyone is afraid, so gets away with things coaches like Hasler and Stewart could only dream of. Also his position as GM of football at the Bulldogs makes any opinion suspicious as to what hat he's actually wearing when making an opinion, like his view on Galvin. He can and has used his clout in the game, his media persona and position at the Bulldogs to influence things in his favour, as he did with Ciraldo. The genius move to bring Ciraldo in on a 5 yr deal was the idea of a guy we regularly give it to here Tim Sheens, diffrence was Sheens didn't have the same clout, also no doubt Ivan may have told him to steer clear. On Anasta if I was a player I'd be representing myself, though if I had to have a manager honestly he would be the only one I'd consider. The way he talks about his players, not like a typical manager corporate type who spews out a company line, iv no doubt he genuinely cares about his players. I remember him numerous times saying Galvin should stay at the Tigers, it's not all about money there's other things to consider, he's not a shark like the likes of Moses. I don't always agree with him, though I don't see an issue with him as a manager and as a t.v personality because he isn't in a power position at a club.

Again we let a player walk and I know it’s due to his clause for next year but who is coming in to off set his loss , I got the feeling that Richo and benji have written 2025 off and are hoping for a better 2026 , this MAY Back fire 🔥 on them if Galvin and luai walk and there is a real chance this could happen , then u known comes next AND other 5 year plan , Iam so sick of this rebuilding crap 💩

Please stop believing Rugby League media. The idea Luai would walk is so laughable, i'm not sure how anyone could take it seriously. Galvin may leave, but if he is to leave early he will leave on our terms.

Too many doomsayer’s being sucked back into the propaganda machine.

The articles keep getting written, because people keep clicking 😂

Wonder if Cowboys would be willing to part ways with Taumalolo

He’s on 950k, he would very well be worth 600k

Genuinely interested if there is any other sport that has a daily gossip show where journo's with an over inflated sense of self-importance just tattle away like little school children and make up rumours? I only really follow the EPL and Cricket closely, maybe its more of an American thing?

 

[weststigers]

Klemmer gone. Spots left means players incoming. Hard to see who they would upgrade to an NRL contract of the players eligible.

Something is brewing.

Try any NBA or MLB show or even the AFL shows on Fox - same thing. Only confrontational gossip stories nd opportunities to divide supporters.

I'd steer clear, personally. beginning to pick up injuries quite regularly.

Brandon Smith would've been ideal but he looks a certainty to head to Souths. I'd love to see us have a crack at Ethan Bullemor.
