Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Lestronge]

Moses has screwed the club over once again with Bula, just like he did with Galvin, Moses, Woods and Tedesco......we are dumb for not seeing this coming once Bula appointed Moses as his manager(on Glavins advice).....The club should get rid of all Moses clients....Godinet is next!.

Who says we don’t see it coming? Just because Benji denies being linked to players doesn’t mean shit. It’s his job to maintain harmony and commitment to the team.
To think the club wouldn’t have looked at alternate fullback options is silly ; like , a permanent replacement externally , a stop gap replacement to allow the kids to progress or alternately an internal replacement where you blood them early , maybe too early . That would be malpractice .
Of course they have !
The reason we arnt hearing about it is the press do not have a strong relationship with Benji , but can’t really go after him because he has a hugely strong relationship with fox sports and their pundits. and they don’t really know Shaun , so naturally those relationships haven’t been built yet , so there’s no pathway to information there either.
So information out of the tigers is beyond limited , unless coming from Moses. There’s a reason for example like when TDS went to the eels , it was all of a sudden happening and then it happened . That takes a lot of time to organise . I guarantee that info came from the eels side . Tartak , has hugely strong ties with the club , and I believe is complicit in keeping the information in house . Moses not so much !
But he can’t reveal that Bula is talking to any other club .. because of anti tampering rules . It would implicate himself . So he leaks tidbits .
The club can’t outwardly say they are looking at alternate options until Bula reveals his true intentions. Which I don’t believe has happened . Moses is playing a dangerous game though . We can just take up the option and now he won’t be paid until November 2027 , despite all the work he’s doing now .
Everything at the moment is ducks and drapes until May and June , or Bula resigns. Any external negotiations can’t happen until then either.

Does anyone know when we are likely to hear who are the WestsTigers board members

 

[Vicious]

And you know this how?

Are you wanting name, address and contact details of those that spill a bit of information ?
The funny part about it is sometimes there is information on this forum that even people closely connected to the club do not know about themselves.

Apparently we have signed (NSW Cup Player) Danny Gabrael a tall lanky centre from the Dogs .. more than likely on a TTD.

Also the Wests Tigers have recruited the services of a local South Sydney Rabbitohs product, Bailey Smith. A Botany Rams junior, Smith plays as a halfback and has joined the club to play in the upcoming Under-21s Jersey Flegg Cup season.

Bailey Smith has already played 2 games for our Wests Tigers Jersey Flegg team at halfback.
He looks decent so far.
Danny Gabrael should be a decent depth addition to our squad, but he has not featured as yet, Maybe injured ?

No. I was asking if what you’re saying is insider info or your assumption

.

Yes … I want that …

Although most of the time it would be some Bot on X… no fixed address there

 

[Buttface]

Benji can convince him over 18 holes then lol

Paps would get injured playing 18 holes.

 

[mtd#2]

He said a few other things but the beer and getting features on the pokies had me hooked those gold coins and dragons

Wasnt the FD RSL was it?

Was doing a job today and started talking to the lawn mower contractor cutting the grass interesting conversation this guy is best mates with Galvin old man.
He told me about the deal with the dogs was done 18months prior to Galvin leaving the tigers between Gould Galvin and the assistant coach Vella who was the major driving force in getting Galvin to the dogs.
Not that I care I am glad he's gone and we all basically knew it already.

As for Bronson Xerri he has come to training late a few times but the real reason they want to move him on because Mat Burton has a big money offer from the Perth bears and his partner is form WA, the dogs want to keep Burton and Burton does not mind if he moves to the centres eventually to accommodate Galvin he did say that Galvin will eventually move to 13 as they have another promising junior coming through who will partner Woods in the halves, As for Xerri I think he will be moved on pretty soon my bet is he will be at the storm.

No tigers news just a rumour and gossip I thought I would share.

Rumours qualify for this thread, well done.
Some knuckleheads will still want proof.
The Gal’s are obviously wankers, but we played that whole situation wrong.

 

[Odessa]

I was served a bit of criticism a while ago for similar comments about him B.

Finished up saying he always seems to have a use by date stamped on him, his age doesn't suggest cranky old fart, but certainly must be an abrasive kind of dude.

And I said awhile ago he would have a great first year rocky second and gone in the third

 

[TigerBurnsy]

I wish he was given a go at fullback in the pre-season. In at least 2 games I've seen him play at fullback (trial last year v Dogs & Flegg), he looks very natural at the back. Obviously good in the air and whilst he doesn't have the explosive speed of some fullbacks, he has an uncanny ability to beat the 1st man with his feet. Silky passing skills too which haven't really been exposed in grade yet on the wing. I know Benji likes his fullbacks to have elite level cardio fitness so maybe this is an area Tino has to improve.

I think your right about the fitness Benji was into him about his time trial in the doco

No

I’ve got to educate and sort this forum out first.
That’s a full time job on its own.

Finally we get confirmation.

It is officially part of your role to infiltrate the forum and spread propaganda for a certain group.

I do appreciate your sales skills in reframing it as "educate".

What are your KPI's? If you convert me over do you get a bonus? Maybe i can pretend for a while and we can go halves.

 

[Modman]

What is it with these dragged on Moses client's extension deals, when was the last one that went in or favour.

g

No Rock despite us being a club that hasnt been able to bring in big names players in the past and should try and have good relationships with player managers its pretty clear there has to be a line in the sand when it comes to Moses clients. He has one interest and thats to see Benji fail. We need to cease any dealings with him in anyway even if it cost us a quality player.

 

[Modman]

Yeah with their existing teams..:

I think its pretty clear we wernt getting any of them. The only real available option that i woyld of try to sign is Lomax but we cant sign D..Kheads at this club, the forum wants police checks b4 they are happy for us to sign.

I don’t personally care too much about Galvin , as I’d heard long ago that his dad was a problem … one of those “my sons a superstar, so if you don’t build the te around him I’ll take him somewhere else” …. But it’s the professional victim stuff Gould goes on with , as if he wasn’t using his platform to recruit Galvin . It’s gaslighting times 100. most on here see though it .. but there’s heaps of fans who defend the guy. He’s an absolute liar and a scumbag . I get he learnt off bullfrog Moore … who had this teflon like ability to never have anyone too angry with him , even though he did things like promised to stay loyal to the arl and sign with SL that night (true story) , but man … Gould sure does lack integrity . I don’t know how anyone can loyal to someone like that..

@Vicious

You going to apply?

Demps is the Man for this role

 

[EllisFan]

Am I the only Madge sympathiser?

He won a premiership last season, regardless of what you think of how he won it. But there is always people/journo's after him.

I hate the he's too tough narrative.

Won a comp everywhere bar the impossible (with us).

He’s old school like Bellyache which obviously is controversial these days but I think it’s important coaches like him aren’t wiped out. Rugby league won’t survive if political correctness wins.
