I don't think it is real Champ.

What is real is that the Betoota Advocate thought it ok to take the piss for the very reason some people will think it real.

Good satire has a degree of truth about it.

Just like Fox Sports the other day running a story about the proposed Wildcard round and thought it appropriate to put Wests Tigers front and center in the graphic for the article.

You may be happy about being the punchline in a piss take but I am not.

Not saying at I'm happy at all.... Your response led me to believe that you thought it was real....

Look one post above....

I think he meant we are a punchline

 

[TigerBurnsy]

Good riddance.

Gosh he talks some crap.

He would kill every thread by spinning absolute shit

Yeah that's what I have figured now...

The club knows it’s lane

A Nathan Cleary sized backup?

Think both sides have adequate back up plans..if u fool with Politis you will need one..and he's probably got 2 or3!

Why not both. 😎

A bloke that doesn't pass in the halves is an even worse outcome.

With the players we had in our backs for most of the 2026 season, even Nathan Cleary wouldn’t pass the ball to them.

What are the chances Izaac Tago ends up with us?
The Panthers are needing to create cap space for their big name players and I’m sure they would ideally like to offload Izaac’s 700k contract even if they contribute 100-200k towards it.
The sticking point would be we have Jake Averillo to play predominantly right centre, but it’s much better to have one too many in each position, rather than not enough.
I’ve also heard some player is trying to get out of a Perth Bears deal to sign with us.
Logically it could be Kit Laulilli, but I have a sneaky suspicion it could be Josh Curran?

you must be short of friends tonight

 

[Flippedy]

I swear thats the same news channel that said we signed Shaquelle O'Neill. The Betoota Advocate.

F…wits.

Very disappointing WT11, I just saw his agent's Insta post announcing it.

I thought Mitch Taotua was one of few in our club's senior pathways who possessed the physical attributes, athletic ability & football skill to be a future NRL level player. I was hoping the club would extend him on a Dev or T&T but obviously the club didn't prioritise him as much as the Bears.

Our backrow depth will be looking slim if Sukkar goes as well.

coaching staff won’t stop until we let go of everyone we worked so hard to prepare for the league, looks like we need to add Sukkar to the lineup of players we let go

Between Tedesco, addo Carr, stefano and Moses, that lineup would probably win the league

we have had players like Sukkar, sakuru and Heath in our junior systems since they bought their first pair of cleats and now that they are playing rep footy and earning their stripes our coaching staff feels the need to start fresh with players who use our club as a stepping stone to gain bigger club notoriety

Save our juniors, don’t let them go

We need to cultivate our pathways and support our boys that showed us loyalty

There's some eerie similarities between these two situations

Latrell Mitchell:

Won the Grand Final with the Roosters in October 2019

The Roosters pulled a $800K, two-year deal for Latrell

He moved to Souths for the 2020 season

Sam Walker:

Won the Grand Final with the Roosters in October 2026

The Roosters pulled a $1.2M per year deal for Walker

Potentially played his last game for the club.

 

[Tigerscout]

Agreed, we are going to throw him away for no reason, it’s not like the team they plan on fielding are doing any better

Would be disappointing to not resign Tony Sukar now he is starting to show something. Definitely now nrl standard depth.
