Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

re Ryan Carr. Any possible players he may bring with him that would add to our team?

Whilst Samuela brings plenty on our edge, I have long been amenable to shifting him to prop if we could nab a good alternative. He would instantly bring that no nonsense enforcer type dominant middle that WT are sorely lacking.

But will he want to? Seems ok with holding a gun to WT head already with re-signing or not. If he is becoming troublesome, Im happy to let him go and replace with Nanai in second row and obtaining prop another way.

I believe this is what theyre heading for...two 10 team conferences

PVL wants 22 teams by 2035. He’s a lunatic who needs to be stopped.

Ironic
Paul Rowley who I think we were rumoured to maybe get as assistant has been apponted head coach in Carrs old job at Castleford

Dunno much about Carr...I see he was at the club with balmain as a player for a few seasons in 09 and 10

carr coached st george for a few games as interim coach in 2023
not a bad choice for an assistant i guess

What if 7th and 10th both finish on 13 wins ? Or there’s some abominable ref decisions that factor in one way or another . What about injuries and bogus suspensions like api getting 3 weeks for a hip drop that they stopped penalising the moment he came back .
My point is if you’re the 9th or 10th team and you’ve been in your opinion hard done by , and the 7th team is someone like the roosters or Brisbane , who seem to get forever ending rub of the green , do you still think that you will have the same ideas around traditionalism ? I genuinely don’t think so mate .
I actually think the game should be in 2 conferences come 20-22 teams .
A south and a north . Drawing an imaginary line right along the parramatta river .
You could go with a top 4 of each conference or a top 4 , with the 5th placed teams of both conferences playing each other , with the team with the best overall record getting a bye in round 1 , and the play in game happening mid week, say Thursday , to follow up the final round 1 playoff game on Monday night , against the seeded 2 team overall . So a massive advantage for the 2 seed , and a massive disadvantage for the play in team .
There would be drama galore , never ending chat about burnout , and maintaining freshness , it would absolutely own the zeitgeist .

What a load of crap mate.

Castleford Tigers confirm Ryan Carr's shocking departure

Three NRL players from the Dragons have signed with the Super League club to join after this season.

Well, I could be sarcastic and say, "typical of WTs to sign a dodgy character to enable the Media scrumbags more dirt to throw at us", but then I realised that that is precisely what will happen if he does come over.

Outstanding if true.
He is a real man’s man who does not tolerate softness or bullshit.
I’m not sure if he’s more suited to defence or attack, but his presence will be felt that’s for sure and certain as he is not the type of person who will just sit back and accept mediocrity.

I would like to know why he was sacked by Castleford. That situation seems very strange

I’ve never heard of a coach being sacked due to disciplinary reasons. Bizarre. Wonder if our club bothered to do any due diligence,

It would be a hollow feeling to backdoor your way in from 10th. Especially as someone pointed out if you win due to a dodgy call.

In the AFL this year Carlton fans seemed happy enough to win the wildcard match from 10th after many years of pain. I would think most of our fans would be too

Bringing the Tate brothers with him as assistant coaches of the womens' team.

Flanno endorsed Ryan Carr for the job but did say he’s normally in attack

Well he got sacked in weird circumstances

 

[achilles]

No thoughts, don’t know him. I just wish we’d got someone with a bit higher profile.

Do we think it upgrade from Morris?

Never Samuel is a very good backrower , and will only get better , nanai has got backwards this season , I know he has been injured a lot , but for me Samuel is better

Hes not being troublesome bloody hell
Crazy to just let him go

Agree but if Samuela is playing games not sure WT can take yet another prima donna
