Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

At least for next season with the Chooks throwing in 300k he'd be 800k on the cap

Feel for him a bit he’s enduring the wrath of the Politis backed media lol

The club let the 10yr exit plan go and decided to re-sign the bloke in his mid-30s for two more seasons.

Pathways development is a mess. Recruitment & retention is a mess. It normally takes several seasons to achieve sustainable competitiveness once a sports organisation begins to clean up these two critical areas. Wests Tigers hasn't even started getting it right yet.

The 10 yr plan was deemed only to be another 2 years before Haywood surpassed him, so the club chose 2 years of Api over 2 years of TDS (who got offered silly coin by parra)

Folks have been throwing Haywood's name around to make them feel better about the club letting Da Silva go. Haywood is in the Mozer realm of defensive liability. He has a lot of ground to make up before he's an NRL #9.

And TDS isn’t? Lol

Manly having a fire sale ..

Would take Navale off their hands

I’d take paseka or bullemore for sure

Paseka to come home

He was their first choice 9, with Smith in reserve grade towards the end of the season. He's also still just 21 years old. So not only is your info wrong, you're willing to write off a kid at an age where most in his position have played very little NRL.

Yeah I agree, I think TDS is quality and a real lose to the Tigers, he's very highly rated by many and still young. He's quicker then some of our wingers for starters.

Lets hope Haywood can come on like TDS has.

Paseka to come home

Yeah that'd be great and more so if Pole leaving

 

[Tim Sheens]

Would anyone take Stefano back for the right price?

I'd take just about any player for the right price, including him as a team can basically never have too many top grade level props.

That said, based on his improvement, particularly this season, retaining Pole would be my priority.

Da Silva is a back up at Parra and is on $650k a year. No thanks

Scored 12 try’s this year. Impressive return for a 9.

“His faster than some of our wingers”
We had Liddle who was faster than some of our wingers
I’d prefer Haywood to be faster between the ears like Harry Grant or Cameron Smith

Moses sure had some issues with his service. Hindmarsh is equally as critical.

He did but he improved and I think we let one go there, he's a quality footballer and going very well for a young guy and has enormous potential.

Were all in with Haywood and he has plenty of upside, so lets hope.

Players are never truly gone. We can always getting him back. Granted, always a bit tougher, but thats why it was important to leave on the right terms.
