Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Doesn't the Chammas detailed article imply the gear was sources for the group?

We will find out soon enough when uncle Nick gets to the truth and starts giving purps the arse.

Be interesting what he does if there's a few of them.

I disagree. Just as we seemed to turn a corner vs Bulldogs late in the season. We lose 3 in a row including two bad losses vs cowboys and titans. Plenty of scoreless halves, choking big leads, massive losing streaks, shooting ourselves in the foot, still somehow can't win 3 in a row. We still don't have a consistent regular halfback in the NRL. AD has had a breakout season and is in a contract year. He will be good for us again but we can't rely on him solely. Luai can never step up whether he is at 6 or 7. Latu is still very green and has a lot of improvement but needs an experienced 7 to learn from. I think we finish bottom 4

Many WT fans find an excuse when we win against nearly anyone, like "But the opposition did not have.....so our win does not really count?? ". But for some reason, they never offer the same excuse for the WT??
Are they the WT fans, or ..?🤔

Why couldnt it have been spencer

Nothing to stop us from chasing.

I can't but help notice very few Panthers at Easts...

Unsure if Spencer is going to fit Benji's plan. But he would go better then Nelson AS.

I think the original point is on... CONSISTENCY!

I want that bumper bar sticker "Wests Tigers, we can beat any team in the comp....

Unless they are the wooden Spoon". Sadly hasn't worked in the last 3 years. Yet we never achieved consistency.

The fact we still haven't won 3 in a row. Consistency. Which points back to our training and us.

We do plenty of things consistently, winning is not one of them.
I said to Uncle BF about a decade ago that “I’m not tipping or betting on us again until we win 3 games in a row!!!”
He laughed and still gives me shite about it every time I back or tip us.
I’ve said this a few times, but when I was a stats nerd I read an report on NRL betting and stats etc. and it had “the best bet in the NRL is to back the the opposition when the Tigers are favourites”.
Now initially I was like this can’t be, as a side gets better surely the stats turn around and you then have to be winning when you’re favs. Well not if you’re consistently inconsistent for over a decade. The really sad part is it’s been over a decade and we are still struggling with the same issues.

Take Radley any day of the week. 8 ball and all.

 

[Camel2281]

This feels like a double whammy of overrating Laurie and underrating Mason. 6 years between and 75 first grade games between em dude.

Mason is the worst player I've seen play NRL. He's the Scott Muller of Rugby League

 

[Camel2281]

Take Radley any day of the week. 8 ball and all.

Absolutely. He instantly becomes our starting Lock and all of a sudden our Prop rotation and depth is stronger as Twal etc aren't being put there

 

[Fish88]

Radley at 13, yes please.

 

[coivtny]

Radley at 13, yes please.

Concussions and all?

 

[Betterdays22]

Concussions and all?

And suspensions. Think Radley playing 15-20 games a year still gives us what we are pretty desperate for - hard, aggressive edge in the pack.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Radley is 100% gone if it’s proven he was involved.

If uncle Nick is a man of his word...

 

[Fish88]

Yep, Twal has had heaps too

Actually saw a stat saying we had the lowest combined injury count over the season at 62 .....Souffs were at 290 lol

Of course it was for the group.

But there is zero chance they’ll sack Tedesco.

I doubt they will end up sacking anyone …

Radley hasn’t been in the greatest form recently but back to his best he was a legitimate ball playing lock that would still hit and run hard. Would be a true replacement on club favourite Elijah Taylor.

The way he creates space for his halves is a great asset and you can’t forget his aggression and toughness. 10/10 signing if he becomes available.

Ray Stone is simply Victor Radley-lite.

Think we would look much stronger if Radley was first man up at 13 with Doueihi providing depth coverage as the ball-playing 13.

Unfortunately he has issues to confront for now and his head knock count has almost reached the point where he would be a major risk unless on a very club friendly contract
