@Roar_Power Much too tall. Wouldn't fit in.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

some of you still haven't been smartened up to that old chestnut.

 

[Roar_Power]

@Don_Kershane Definitely fits into the pensioner category

 

[TheDaBoss]

Ok it's time we asked for an overall update from @THE_POM ? Please let us know something that we can get a little excited about

I'm sure he'll post when he's ready.

SKD to tigers in 48 hours

Hmmm. Not sure how I feel about that one.
He was excellent, fast in his day. Destroyed us in *that* game and is probably past it.
But, he still has a burst of speed, good under the high ball, strong finisher.
Overall, he'd be an improvement, so I suppose good addition.

comedy is

@TheDaBoss That is the worst joke I have heard this year.

comedy is not my forte unfortunately

Steven Marsters has signed with South Sydney until end of 2020.

 

[TieDye]

@jrtiger Damn ... Tho ... had..nvm

 

[balmain boy]

Steven Marsters has signed with South Sydney until end of 2020.

With Smith, Dillon and Cini coming through I think young fullbacks are somewhat covered. We should go for proven talent or even younger next gen players.

 

[boonboon]

I hope we sign Mawene Hiroti from the bunnies

He is a winger/ centre, 80% plus goalkicker, Madge signed him at Souths and is only 21

Is fast, reasonably big and souths have a full backine

Often when I read through this topic my thoughts turn to our three big signings from 2018, Packer, Reynolds and Matulino. These three were probably WT's most expensive signings following a number a number of lean years. Yet it would be fair to say that each of these three players could be considered to have been, at the time of their signing, on the downward side of their best football years. Bearing this in mind it begs the question as to whether Wests Tigers carried out any medical examination on the these three players before they signed them.

Coach Cleary who signed each of these three was previously a coach of both Packer and Matulino. Could he have known of the injuries which commonly occurred to these two during his coaching career at Warriors or is it just a coincidence that these three very highly paid players are on a seemingly consistent injury treadmill?.

Either way I believe that the most important question should be asked of Wests Tigers management as to whether physical injury examinations are taken on players from other clubs before these players are signed.

I think Marsters has more potential then those named.....I know we were after him and how disappointing it is he chose Souths over WT, despite the pull of his cousin and a better chance of breaking into our NRL side compared to Souths...seems we can only sign players on the down rather than the up!...

@tigerap I don’t agree with that, I’ll reserve my judgement until after Cini and Dillon get a run In cc, with better players around them, they are 2 kids that may go to a different level playing with better players, look at Seyfarth very ordinary start of the year in 20’s, but got a step up and I’m not his biggest fan, but credit where it’s due he has got better playing cc. On a another note congrats to young ray Jankovic, on the bench in 20’s start of year, gets another run in cc, thought he was solid in his first outing. Keep improving young fella.

I haven't see anything from Seyfarth to get excited about

 

[fred]

@851i think we have him on a full time contract now and if you had of seen him in Jersey Flegg at the start of the year he was below ordinary, but when the recruitment team put blokes on contracts they push there case hard and give them ample opportunity to succeed, they tend to dismiss there poor games and continually wrap them heavily, remember if your on the recruitment team and giving out dev contracts you are going to give said player umpteenth chances to perform, otherwise you look bad yourself if these players don’t go on.

@851 First time I watched him play his high work rate, mobility for a big man and that spirit not to give up differentiated him from other players. He has improved incrementally each grade which I like. In the not too distant future he could replace a love child in our NRL pack.

I think Matterson is safe
