Nice to see Harry Grant back. Liddle is good but Grant is next level! Would honestly pay him anything to stay a WT. So tough, literally in everything in attack and D. Make him captain and the face of the ? for the next 10 years. Once in a generation dummy half! He will change this club forever if he stays ????

Yep! Completely different team with him.
Grant plays to win,puts his body on the line every game.he had us playing pretty good at one stage this year.
The thought of him at The Storm is scary ?

Maybe we could swap him for Simpkin?

done, B.Smith plays a few years till simpkin is ready and B.Smith moves to 2nd/row /lock

Doubt they will go for it though

It actually hurts seeing stuff like this - emotionally invested fans and members who put money into seeing our club be successful fall in the hands of people like this. Disgusting.

That just reinforces the claim that the club accepts mediocrity. From the top to the bottom.

Never a dull day in Tiger Town. This is why I luv supporting the club. Lots of drama and talking points.
This coming off season is gonna be mega. Can’t wait

That’s what we do as tigers fans: look forward to the off season.

Yes, but we generally don't have to wait as long as other clubs supporters for that off season to start

NRL 2020: Wests Tigers co-captain Moses Mbye believes coach Michael Maguire’s plans for a cleanout are warranted
The Wests Tigers have again failed to perform this season, and co-captain Moses Mbye believes Coach Michael Maguire is entitled to make changes.

Wests Tigers co-captain Moses Mbye believes coach Michael Maguire is entitled to clean out the inconsistent Tigers, saying you deserve to be under pressure if you are on big dollars and not performing.

Mbye’s frank take on the Tigers’ plight comes as Maguire looks to move on high earning players like Josh Reynolds, Chris McQueen and Russell Packer.

Reynolds has been linked to Super League clubs Wigan and Leeds despite having a season to run on his contract.

Mbye understands the difficulty and emotion of moving on contracted players but says Maguire must put the club’s success first.

“When you are a player on the higher end pay bracket, you get more scrutiny which is completely warranted, and I think that is fair,” Mbye said.

“When you are one of the higher paid players you need to be performing as one of the best players in the team and have some sort of influence on each game.

“Madge has got to look for what is best for the club, himself moving forward and where he is going to get results.”

Mbye has also been linked to leaving the Tigers despite having another two seasons remaining on his deal.

The Queensland representative recently distanced himself from reports that Wests would be willing to pay half his salary to facilitate a move to the Gold Coast.

Mbye wants to stay at the Tigers but he is open to a discussion with coach Maguire about his future, conceding he hasn’t been at his best in 2020.

“Personally, I haven’t been able to do that (perform consistently) as often as I’d like to and I’m not shying away from that,” he said.

“Madge hasn’t had that conversation with myself, but I’m sure if he needs to have that conversation he will do so.

“It (my form) is something that I’m working extremely hard on.

“But it (contracts) is something that normally comes about in clubs that are struggling and have a bit of a top-heavy salary cap.”

Mbye sees plenty of promise at the Tigers despite their inconsistent season.

It is why he would like to see out his deal to play a part in a successful rebuild of the joint-venture franchise.

“Of course, who doesn’t want to be part of a benchmark club,” he said.

“I got to experience that when I was at Canterbury and we has those really good years when we were one of the benchmark sides.

“You are hunted instead of hunting and it is a good spot to be in.

“That is certainly where we are trying to get to as a club here at the Tigers.”

The Tigers’ final chances appear over given they are four points outside the top eight with five rounds remaining, but Moses insists the players won’t give up.

This starts on Saturday when they take on competition leaders Penrith at Panthers Stadium.

“We are trying to stick tight as a group and not show our frustration too much and let it get in the way of our football,” he said.

“Our focus is on this week against Penrith and we need to start winning.

“This week is a good chance to get a big scalp and to get a bit of momentum off that.”

Based on this Mbye understands the situation. He should be actively looking around

Is that even Mbye's real account?

Nice to see Harry Grant back. Liddle is good but Grant is next level! Would honestly pay him anything to stay a WT. So tough, literally in everything in attack and D. Make him captain and the face of the ? for the next 10 years. Once in a generation dummy half! He will change this club forever if he stays ????

Yep! Completely different team with him.
Grant plays to win,puts his body on the line every game.he had us playing pretty good at one stage this year.
The thought of him at The Storm is scary ?

Maybe we could swap him for Simpkin?

Sure there's a risk involved but they risk losing B Smith if Grant goes back there. We know what Grant can do for us and will do. There won't be lots of players better than him. The odds of Simpkin ever reaching those heights is low.
Risky swap wouldn’t want to see simp play first b4 trading him?

Dunno why Marshall gets the start over Reynolds. Either one has been more professional at training or surely some stuff going on behind closed doors that Maguire no likey.

I’d Like to give him a go First could be very special.

Would love to see him this year but can respect club holding him for development, but next year want straight in

The storm are losing a lot of players next year....I know everybody always says don't write them off but they are losing Welch, C Smith, Vunivalu, addo carr, Fa'asuamaleaui...that side will look a lot different next year.

Still be stupidly competitive but how is Grant going to go if they start turning the losses over? Or Bellamy puts B Smith as his starting hooker? Is he going to want to stay past next year?

Roosters will be after a new Hooker very soon
