Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Firstly,Reynolds wld be fortunate to get thru 20 ganmes over 2 years.so Latu has plenty of opportunities
Secondly,he wasnt exactly a gret fit with his current mullion $$ partner
Lastly,its a complete slap in the face to Latu,and he may just dummy spit...?

No,

We have 3 halves on the books:
Latu
Luai
and

Sullivan.

Whomever plays 3rd halfback is doing OK. Yikes you are training with Origin superstar Halves in Reynolds + Luai. Your probably nr14 and you will be getting game time with injuries.

It's nr4 that it's a complete slap in the face too.

I agree his footy IQ has not kicked on does some rookie mistakes

re Harry Grant... who shouldn't be on our radar at all...

Look, at Hooker you make mistakes. He gets belted as does Api and he comes back... Sure he hasn't been the gun he was when he was with us.
But when you are in the whirlwind that is hooker, you will make mistakes because you have to be quick...

Melbourne though seem to be able to maintain the top 4 and it's no small part due to Grant....

ok he is dimming but he is still a star.

Sexton potentially to Titans before June 30, and Titans looking to ship Fafita ASAP to accommodate. Interesting.

Or for some reason some players look like super stars at the tigers is because we don't have 17 quality first grade players and it's easier to shine in Sh?t

No way Bulldogs would let him go until next year.

our backs depth is bad but not as bad as the dragons holy crap

Can someone explain why we lack "Back Depth"...
Fullback: Bula/Mason
Center: Toa, AD, Saukuru, Faataape, Feledy... Far out we would kick Scrabble with that list..
Wing: Skelton, Turuva, Staines, Laulili...

+ Jack Bird who can play backs...

What are people expecting here?
The Raiders have 3 wingers and 3 centers signed to their top 30 and IMHO I think that's a better way to go. Just make sure your 2x starting Centers are starters and your wings are good!

Free your cap to spend on your top 17. Don't go hiring lots of depth which really only soaks up cap space and positions.

Love it…even if it’s just talk to unsettle the dogs further…

well half that depth we don’t use for whatever reason

Not first grade standard.

Agreed. We currently have Luke Laulilii, Naden, Staines, Faataape, Tui’tupou, Mapapalangi and Taylan May all in the lower grades who all have NRL experience. Looking across NSW Cup, no one else has as much NRL experience in their outside backs than us. Regardless if you rate those players or not, there is depth.

If they move on Sexton it is just a matter of time before someone punches Galvin in the face. The entitlement that bloke would have at that point

Marhony didn't look too happy last weekend

 

[Darty the winger]

TBH he cannot be doing too bad considering his team is on top of the ladder and just won the Cup final. Can cover a few positions so I will trust Richo and Benji

Sign him up

Tyrone May’s future to be decided very soon.

No inside knowledge, but...

We have Tyrone saying he wants to return to play with his brothers.

We have Willie Peters- Richo links

We have a halfback returning to the club next season that could be looking to move on.

Player swap? Tyrone May for Bud Sullivan?

Taylan may for the depth chart too

Reading the tea between the leaves?

Why not, they have superstar Galvin now, who needs Sexton?

Just mastering my 'conspiracy theorist' abilities

Fifita for this year may change the needle for us in hope we do it

We SHOULD be sitting on 18 points now, with another 2 coming this weekend that would 20 points coming into Rd 16.

We SHOULD have beaten the Knights in Rd 1, the Warriors in Rd 4 and Penrith last weekend. If the boys had turned up in the 1st half of Rd 13 against the Cowboys we SHOULD have won that game well as.

Discipline, bad options (last passes etc Galvin was good for a few per game) and some questionable refereeing decisions have cost the team badly.
As I've said before, we've only copped two real hidings so far this year, a huge improvement on last season.

Regarding questionable refereeing decisions, well what's OK for every other team just isn't OK for Wests Tigers players.
I still believe there is a clandestine push to get rid of this club, led by NewsCorp but aided and abetted by the NRL & with other media outlets & certain player managers all joining in the pile on.
