Taane Milne (official)

[Chainlink]

Great news! Hope we are still going after Rona though.

 

[WT2K]

I'll get in first. Surely we can do better than another club's reserve grade cast offs.

:laughing: think some didn't pick up on the sarcasm :laughing:

 

[innsaneink]

That's our tenth signing so far lol…
And the 2018 fire sale hasn't even started

Thanks.
Been so many I've lost track
Unprecedented in our existence a recruitment drive on this scale… Very exciting.
Current team is pretty crud an almost entire new squad can't do worse

 

[tigerap]

I expect there will be more signing news Thursday or Friday to take the Fans minds of the walloping we are going to cop on Sunday…

Well there you go…Well done Wests Tigers...Welcome aboard Taane..

Happy with our backs…... now for a couple of hard running second rowers and maybe another prop....

 

[tigerbenji]

If we can sign Rona, A prop & a good second rower i will be happy.

And the 2018 fire sale hasn't even started

He is now the 16th player to sign or re-sign since Cleary came on board

With more to come, Ivan has certainly been a busy boy!!

 

[earl]

Hahaha bit of wasted energy for some over the backflipping rumour.

I was reading this morning that he had backflipped and now it's official. Great stuff.

 

[Club_Sandwich]

Let's hope he's all he's mooted to be and more.

 

[Leica_Tiger]

What an emotional roller coaster of a year it's been & we're only half way.. Extremely happy with with signing & the potential in our 3quarter line

 

[Tigerdon]

tbh I don't know too much about him. Is he a good defensive centre ? And How big and quick is he?

 

[Tigerdon]

Btw I'm getting thrown around on this tin can of a ferry crossing the heads tonight .. plus it's hammering down. Not any other boats out here.

Biggest recruitment drive I've ever seen at this club! So nice to actually have some money to spend on decent players, after all the years of drought and signing one or two fringe players per season.

Starting to look like a whole new backline for 2018, hopefully with some speed and defensive skills :smiley:

 

[steve-o]

You beauty! Well done recruitment team. I like the look of this back line:
1\. Tui
2\. Mahe
3\. Suli
4\. Milne
5\. Nofo
6\. Reynolds
7\. Brooks

 

[Nelson]

Big centre with a good fend and hard to handle 1 on 1\. Can set up his outside man well. Bit suspect in defence.

Not just biggest recruitment drive at this club - I can;t remember any team completely rebuilt to this extent in one season!

In 1991 the Wok bought Gillespie, langmack, Thomas, wynn, Rampling, Gibbs, Farrah , & dymock to compliment henjak, Lindner and if it wasn't for the roosters we would have got terry hill. Transformed wests from easy beats to semi finalists in 12 months. They could have won the comp that year but for injuries and a couple of poor passes from Jason Taylor

I tried to find his highlights reel on YouTube alas he doesn't have one, but I did come across an article from 2015 where Benji was quoted as saying Milne had one of the best in and away' and flick pass he's even seen. I'll be keeping my eye out for that for the rest of the season :supporter:

182cm tall, 99kg, solid player. This signing took far longer to announce than I anticipated, but it was never in doubt. Next stop…Curtis Rona :sunglasses:
