Yeah it's a shame there's this little thing called the salary cap that interferes with this fantasy.
@Frank the tank said:
We have already signed Anasta, Isoefa, Pettybourne and Thompson from other clubs and upgraded juniors Nofoaluma, Sironen and Tedesco.
Then we have the top 4 players Lawrence, Farah, Marshall and Blair taking a big chunk of the cap. We have enough trouble keeping what we have let alone chasing another 500k player.
I don't get how we would have the money. Very interested to see which of our current players are not resigned because there has to be quite a few for us to be under the cap for 2013.

Keods it doesn't work that way mate
Most of these blokes are on league minimums and will have to get replaced by blokes on league on league minimum
The players you will end up having to lose will be Heighintopn's ,Fulton's ,Bell's ,Reddy's,Groats and Ayshfords to fit a player like Pearce in and then replace the above players with more players on League Minimums Might sound great , but is unrealistic to be honest

So Benji spends 2 years at seven then switches back to 5/8???? He'd have no trouble doing it, but im im reluctant to believe we will go hard after MItchell. We will enquire in the hope of getting him for a certain price, but he'll want more and we will continue to stick with Benji at 7…...just my prediction

hmmm whilst it would be kinda neat, from the Balmain side of things, to see the names Pearce and Sironen back in the same side, I'm just not too sure.

Mate he is a Wests Tigers legend, just like John Donnelly is a Wests Tigers legend. Going by your reasoning we better stop inviting past players to games for the yearly reunions as they have no revelance to the Wests Tigers.
The only thing about this which confuses me is that very one believes it …....
Even though it has come from the Terrorgraph , who have absolutely no credibility or reliability
Even though in the article the only piece of reliable info is a quote from Warren McDonald
"I make calls to hundreds of managers and speak to them all the time," McDonnell said. "That is nothing unusual, but we are very happy with our halves, having Benji Marshall, Curtis Sironen going well, Braith Anasta coming and Jacob Miller coming through."

Once again complete dribble from Rothfield and his cronies ....

No they aren't, Cochise - Wests Tigers is a whole new entity. Pearce played for Balmain and Donnelly played for Wests - neither team exists in the NRL anymore. It's time the media realised that. After 12 years we have enough real WT legends to invite to the reunions - Hodgo, Skando, Senter, O'Neill, Hill, Richards, Payten, Galea….you get the idea.
Yes Please.
Mind you we have a ton of great talent coming through SG ball about to hit Toyota Cup according to my mate who is a very active Junior player Manager in the Young Tigers reanks

I just find it extremely disappointing if we abandon our past completely. Any way we are way off topic so this is a discussion for another day.

Of course we should be enquiring not nessecarily signing but it's a year away we don't know if sironene will be a five eight or forward, which might mean only benji in the halves ,etc ,etc, McDonnell just doing his job.
As for Wayne Pearce being a wests tigers legend -he is -he played for balmain and like any western suburbs magpie legend he becomes a wests tigers legend now the others no longer exist

Yeah fair enough, mate, I see your point also.
Getting back on topic, Pearce would be a nice addition, especially with his newly formed combination with Robbie, but I doubt we could afford him under the cap. We would have to move a lot of others on, apart from the players already leaving, to make room for him.
