Wonder if this means they'll chase Finucane

I hope not. Would be a terrible signing

Yeah cos Melbourne are flops at the moment. Wouldn’t have any secrets to success ?

Yeah like Tamou, he’s worked out a treat hasn’t he

Look Tamou is no better or worse than Jessie Bromwich. Both are slowing down but when you have a team of enthusiastic forwards around you, you can still have a presence out there.
More of those guys and signing leaders on ‘older’ legs is no problem.

Tamou is struggling to keep up after 10 minutes.

The game has passed him by and he knows it ..
Why’d you think Pamfers let him go ?
John west Tigers

Finucane will be Tamou 2.0. Everyone will be going on about his great influence as we get rogered 50-0

He goes good in the storm system but he’d plod here for sure .. they all do
And he wants mega bucks ?

Those who like him think he’d make others better, bring some steel in defense and attract other quality characters, he won’t offer mesmerising attack.

Is Finucane in his prime ....
I’d say NO
Is he worth the money and years he’s asking ?
I’d say NO
Why is it that a player who’s way past there prime wants top dollar ?
Tell him he’s dreaming!

The team that he captains just beat the ROOSTERS 46-0. You know how we go against the ROOSTERS. Not good.

Look up prime.

Look at the team he’s in ..
you could swap him out in that side for Twal and the score would’ve been 46-0

Same would go for finucane with us ..
60-16

We need to stop paying overs for retirement packages

Incorrect with dale.

Your opinion

He’s quality is clear sight comparing to twal is polar opposite

If Twal played for the storm in tonight’s game he’d be killing it ..

If we signed Finucane he’d plod in our system .

Add in Finucane’s asking price it’d be a joke

Hahaha twal is a one dimensional plodder. I know where your getting at but don’t agree twal would do do what dale does to that team.

Anyway agree to disagree we probably won’t get him anyway

I think he would have the knackers to tell BJ to get off the Oporto. Too many people judging him by his attacking prowess. That’s not what he is.We need his toughness.

Not at the reported 800k we don’t

If you get him stiffening up the defense and he adds 5% in professionalism across the squad? And another quality player decides WT is no longer a joke. It’s a snowball.

We haven’t even got snow
That’s my point ?‍♂️

I disagree. We have 4-5 gaping holes to fill and then a lot of guys with improvement in them. Finucane I think fills one of those holes and also has the know how to improve the young guys with the right attitude.

 

[tony soprano]

Hopefully sheens said no.

I’m actually happy about this decision.

People are really overestimating the scope of Sheens' power.

It’s a bit weird they were all in with pangi then ?

See the thing is you don't know any of that, there are literally millions of possibilities of what could be going on and you come up with the one that fits what you want to happen.

Well the plane trip definitely happened unless they were fishing with Pascoe dad

Or went up to see Isaako as they were looking at wingers at the time and actually signed one a couple of weeks later. So you can't be sure that the trip had anything to do with TPJ, you are just jumping to conclusions that fit your narrative.

 

[THE_POM]


Wonder if this means they'll chase Finucane

Hopefully.
Good outcome. Just a shame they couldn’t do their homework before it went to the media.

Yeah, what on earth. Sounds to me like he's told them he's going to sign with someone else and they're getting out ahead of it.

Apparently we we’re officially offering him a deal yesterday. News today is we are bulking at the request to pay 700k a season not discounting what the Broncos want to throw in.
I’d say Tevita and management have rejected our initial offer and we are having a big rethink about it.

Not far off, offer was submitted, his management says we fall short of what TPJ has been “provisionally” offered elsewhere, so not officially offered.
Only club to have an offical offer written up, TPJ management saying we need to come to an agreement that averages $700k or more with Broncos chipping in to get it over the line, Hartigan said thanks but no thanks (playing hardball maybe) but seems the door is closed & club letting little leaks out to fain interest.

Maybe. We’d still have to plug those other holes too. But we’ll probably end up with Alvaro or something so I’m campaigning for Dale.

Inclusive of the Broncos chipping in?
Any word on what percentage they are willing to contribute?
What would the current deal cost us for 2.5 seasons if we upd it to their Mark?

 

[swag_tiger]

I feel like teams don't take us seriously when we try to hard ball.

 

[cktiger]

I’m telling you, TPJ might seem like an x-factor, and he no doubt can be, but the suspensions will wear thin real fast.

His presence though, when on field is the real threat... to opposition.

Madge needs to sit him down and work out strategies where he can control his aggression whilst playing his natural game and creating that second phase play we desperately lack.

I think a few of the other forwards could really benefit from a player like TPJ and hopefully they work as a strong unit with guys like Gildart, Luarie and AD following along for those offloads.

TPJ could be huge for us from transforming us from a soft pack to a feared one.

Demps : I'm not disagreeing with you but, quite a few on here are adamant that Madge can't coach.
So if that's the case how is he going to coach TPJ **and** change his aggressive attitude.

Easy.
Let Farah, Sheens and Kimmorley do it.

Farah as coach is one of the most out there suggestions I have ever heard.

Farah is a born leader with so much football intelligence.

Tell me it's a bad idea.

Bro ...didn't you have someone spotting for you today

What are u talking about haha

Weights bro ........head knock ...HIA ...don't think Robbie would make a good head coach

Not a head coach.
But an assistant coach.

If he proves himself at another club 1st

We as a club need a break from Benji and Robbie for a good 5 years ......weed out all the crap 1st and then if they are prepared to tow the line and not leak crap to the media every 5 minutes ...maybe

Robbie is at the club currently.

Yep ...and we still haven't learnt a god damn thing ...dumbest NRL club by a mile ....no other club brings back trouble makers .....losers

Robbie is a trouble maker?
Lol mate, might be time to become happy_rabbit and join your mate @alien

Robbie had Sheens sacked with the backing of Balmain Juniors .....had his conversation with Gordie in regards to Potter ...clashed with Taylor and Pascoe

Players play Demps ....don't get involved in club politics

Doesn't happen at 15 other clubs .....does it ???

Captains captain.

Ain't no one more wests tigers than Roberto Farah.

Taylor deserved to be clashed with.
Maybe Potter couldn't coach.
And Sheens needed a break.

Still, having some one with passion and pride like Farah on board isn't going to hurt.

Funny ...you don't ever see any other NRL club captain burying his club .......if you are not happy ...you leave ....

Why would you leave something you love , because it’s filled with people you consider incompetent? Wouldn’t you fight to get those people removed , especially if you considered them toxic ?

Also , maybe Robbie was humbled by the whole experience . Just because you think 1 way today , doesn’t mean your locked into that thought for the rest of your life .

Potter did follow , at that time , the second winningest coach in history . A bloke famous for being a tactical genius , sometimes to the detriment of the team . By those standards maybe Potter couldn’t coach ? Or Robbie had it easy his whole career , and needed a huge reality check .
Who knows .

Would you bail on the club happy , that you obviously love , if it had people in charge y thought were harming the joint ?

Yeah ...but I'd have the class to keep it in house ...big difference

Like Gordie had the class to keep a private comment private?
Besides there's never been any proof that Farah was talking to the press about any coach or actively trying to get rid of them.
Just a throwaway line (apparently) to that boofhead Tallis.

Gordie's a journo ...if your dumb enough to tell a journo anything .....

Tallis is not a journo - he's a commentator.
If Farah said anything, and I am still not convinced what Tallis recounted, then Tallis is a bum for breaking a 'so called' friends trust.
PS Even if he considered himself a journo they don't quote what people say off the record... none of them.
Grub of the highest order... and now he's got his head so far up his own backside thinks he can ruin players careers with just a word from him.


He explains it a bit in the video I posted above. He has no respect for Robbie whiteanting the coach.

He’s just looking for headline because he’s not relevant any more.
Not enough intelligence to sit in when the other commentators talk tactics so is the backup joke sitting on the couch on Marty Johns.

 

[tony soprano]

I feel like teams don't take us seriously when we try to hard ball.

Why would they

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

I feel like teams don't take us seriously when we try to hard ball.

It’s not as though we have any leverage.
Everyone knows we have a war chest of cash to spend, we don’t plan to throw it away this time round. What leverage do we have outside of cash?

Or everything you've heard is pure speculation.

I'm pretty sure Tigers haven't made a single comment about TPJ this entire time.

Perhaps.

 

[TIGERPOWER]

I feel like teams don't take us seriously when we try to hard ball.

Why would they

Why would we want to pay $700k for a player with off field issues and can’t stay on the field. If the dragons want him for that much they can take him.
