...and now Farah is thinking about another year. Apparently they want to retire together. Hmmmmm.

Time to go in a new direction imo.

Yeah. Up would be a nice change.

@TieDye it was on 10 news but we didn't have cap room

We didn't actually chose mannah over Ese'ese

God Ese'ese would've been very handy! Great impact off the bench. Surely he's not on that much that we couldn't afford him? That's really sad.

In the twilight of his career, coming back from a knee reconstruction and unwanted at his own club. Ticks every box of the Wests Tigers recruitment checklist. Let's offer him 4 years with another 4 as an option in his favour. Make it happen Madgey.


Must admit that made me laugh out loud 🙂

Yes me too. It would be even funnier if it wasn't such a reality because the reality of it just makes me want to cry ?

 

[Jessica]

@Spud_Murphy laughter and crying all at the same time, oh the joy lololol

What about brenko lee...big body on the outta at titans...would he flourish under Madge? Would be a cheap buy

 

[Madge]

@Jimmy no thanks.

@Madge
Need to be realistic we aren’t gonna sign a manu/Mitchell player our cap is stuffed I’d personally say a 1 yr contract due to fonu not be resigned

@teddy23

Won’t happen those 2 boys are manly through and through and don’t want to play for any other club

If we poached them it would be a miracle

But weirder things have happened in NRL, you just don’t know the days

Will Pascoe be held accountable for our salary cap position too?

We had every player off contract last year, Clearly was able to splash big money at nuffie players.

In that time, we missed out on names like Klemmer, Napa, Pearce, Ponga, Gagai, Roberts, etc.

I don't want to hear, 'how are we going to attract big name players?'. If Knights and Dogs can do it, so can we.

We even missed out on keeping Papahyuzen because we had Tedesco...both were off contract at the same time. If you're going to set an ultimatum for Tedesco, keep the best young fullback in the game...

We constantly sign left overs, Mbye was a dud at the Dogs. There is a reason they let him go.

I'm afraid we now have to wait until 2021, when all the big names come off contract to sign more dud players on large wages.

DWZ was snapped up by the dogs, Christian Welch probably will be too...Two players that could have had a big impact on our roster.

Went back home to QLD due to homesickness. Still suspect in defence. Would be a big risk.

Worse than suspect in defence - flat out awful! I remember seeing him defend next to Bryce Cartwright for the Titans and I can't recall a more heartless display from two players...

Herd from a current penrith first grader that packer move to penrith is still on and will happen by June 30. He also said Waqa Blake's preferred destination is parramatta but he is frustrated with the slowness of the process with parramatta and If they dont speed up the process he will withdraw from negotiations with Parramatta and sign with the Bulldogs.

@tiger_pie lets hope it all pans out

 

[WT2K]

packer move to penrith is still on and will happen by June 30. He also said Waqa B

Wonder whom is the target for us then?

Stumbling along like a drunk at 4.00 am Sunday morning is fun ......

 

[Sunnycoast_tiger]

@Cultured_Bogan I hope Herman Ese'ese, also why do players want to sign with the Bulldogs?

 

[BalmainJnr]

@Sunnycoast_tiger I believe their mad Monday celebration is fun.

Hahaha once again it's between Bulldogs and Parra - we're not even in the hunt!

@Milky As we are now half way through June, I emailed the club a week ago to ask when exactly Justin was returning as CEO. Got no response. I'm wondering if he's coming back at all.
