Pole’s brother Suli is doing a pre-season at the storm ATM. 6’6 at 19.

Hope we plan to bring him over.

I'd hoped he'd already be here by now. Each year he starts in Melbourne the lead likely he comes here and the more likely Fonua leaves.

Is it just my eyes or is the bloke 2nd from the right getting in some baton changing practice?

That depends on whether he got big Nelson's brain as well.

Had to look closely to see if it was a deceptive camera angle, what was the fool thinking, it was a media shoot not a F 400m relay run.

I agree , I’ve been a big advocate for Wests tigers - MacArthur and Wests tigers- Balmain .
People laughed at me but the visual reinforcement the kids get at panthers training of looking over at the nrl training fields and saying “one day” is just clever manipulation.
We can’t do that because of geography, but having clear links , almost a graduation from the academy at wests Sydney uni to the nrl team in concord , at the very least should be implemented.
Constant engagement in the community re. The schools should be annoyed the tigers are there again , rather than begging us to turn up , a winning football team in the nrl is pretty obvious and IMO a partnership with the MacArthur Bulls . Both clubs should run joint clinics . Little Johnny might come from an ethnic family who only ever thought about football . He turns up to a clinic , gets and footy under his arm … and he’s away . And likewise . Maybe little Timmy is from a legacy nrl family , and goes to a clinic and finds kicking the round ball is his thing .
The real threat to juniors isn’t organised sport it’s kids not seeing the benefit in doing any of it. By combining resources between 2 clubs who really arnt at all in competition with each other , should also output a strong message . MacArthur is Bulls . MacArthur is tigers.
That’s at least where I’d start . Strong connective tissue and links to the nrl team through probably a graduation , and stronger links to other organisations to help out roots into the community , outside of the work already being done re. Schools, clinics, advertising etc.
But it is tough , that area is historically transient . It’s the same issues the GC have had since the late 80s. How do you engage a community who views where they live as either a holiday , or some place to escape . Not a place to put down roots .

There where plan's years ago to have a spot on C91.3 which is the Campbelltown Fm it started then stopped. The club needs to get back to the grass roots again. There was a clinic a couple weeks ago that Latu, Kit, and a couple of others and the players got swamped and the kids loved it.

It’s every video you’ve ever seen where a giant is laying out kids half his size like ten pins.

I think he says he regrets how he left but not the leaving

No. Heard him say myself it was the biggest mistake of his career leaving

As recently as the Galvin drama earlier in the year he was suggesting Galvin stick it out as the Grass isn’t always greener.
Didn’t say it in so many words but was clearly referencing his exit from the WT’s…

Yeah I heard him talk about it on Triple M with Beau Ryan saying he wished he didn't leave, or words to that effect.

Grapevine has Macka training at CT,W, interestingly FBK.
Ethan at Prop , 2nd row , Center. Large specimen by all accounts

I have said previously i reckon he would make a great FB.

Woods played his best footy at the Tigers, was a regular in origin and when he left it all turned to shit.

I recall an interview after he was shafted from the dogs saying if Ivan had got there sooner, he might have thought differently.

 

[Tigers_Wests]

Would we take Adam Elliot at the Tigers. Rumours have it that we are interested.

On a 1 to 2 year deal....yes I would be happy for us to get him.

 

[hank37w]

Do you think anyone could track his playing career after he left us?

Lost track of it all the places Woodsy has been since he left us, but forget about the gig on Triple M, he could be an Australia Post Ambassador with all the post codes he would have tattooed on his butt.

I guess it is what it is.

 

[hank37w]

You never build your pack off an 18 year old.
They are added for very short term impact to give the real pack leaders a rest.

Besides that he might end up having as much impact as Jordan Miller.

There's always a career in boxing. 🤣
