Firstly, I could hardly read over that grammar
and Secondly, I missed the point of that post due to the poor grammar.

Lote was already here. Anasta is a halves signing and face it, he is just what we need there. Kite is unconfirmed and even so, he is also a good signing as an experienced PROP. I like how you overlooked the other three signings too. Agenda much?

Agenda much,Umm op says we are heading to youth and then I say well look at Anasta,kite and Lote(Re-signed).You say Anasta at half is just what we need.Yes true,if it was 1998 .Brent kite was an experienced prop in 2010 come 2013 I think Id take Kerry Hemsley in front of him.And you say Lote was already here.Well thats totally irrelevant since as of 2day we resign him.I know who has the agenda champ.Judging by your post Im surprised you can spell it.

My only agenda is de-constructing misinformation campaigns. I'm not going to bother breaking down your post because it's pretty obvious that you're 12.

De-constructing misinformation campaigns. :roll :roll :roll :roll If you call the signings of 31,33 and 34 year olds(by 2013 gf) an injection of youth.You use such big words but you have ZERO fact to back it up.Your jabbering gums could give humphries a run for his money. :roll :roll :roll :roll .Yeah champ Im the 12 year old.

Reminds me of when Balmain let Bobby Boland,George Piper and others,who names i forget, leave to join Penrith in the late 1960's,a bit of fuss at the time but as soon as the next season starts it all forgotten.

Just wanted to share some interesting stats on the performance of our wingers in 2012\. Let me firstly say I know these are just stats, and that their are other stats like errors that are important. However in beau's best season of his career (and I think he played great) he didn't make a single line break as a winger, he made less meters per run then our other wingers and given he was gfull fit and in the peak form of his career you would think he would be much more dominant as compared to Tuqiri who was injured or coming off injury most of the year. I look at the numbers and kind of think that Beau and Utai were competing for one wing position (and player type) and that we chose Utai., especially as Nofoaluma is a similar player on that side. Also utai and Ryan are both right wings while Tuqiri is a left winger primarily

Apologies the stats looked much clearer in the reply section

It's true. I love Beau's passion and fight but if he didn't have such a high profile this probably wouldn't be such a big deal. That and the way it all seems to have been handled.

 

[jadtiger]

Both players could give lessons in passion and commitment to many of the others but neither is a huge loss. However i am extremely annoyed by the way that it appears to have been handled.

 

[ghoges]

Guys, I don't like it when people post unsubstantiated rumors on here. I can't name my source so if you choose to believe this or not so be it. But unless the club does its 3rd about face…Beau has agreed to join the Sharks. And I guarantee you he is shattered at his treatment.

i sure can't blame him. The people making the decisions at the wests tigers need to be made answer to a hell of a lot of questions and i would say that one mr sheens has made a hell of a lot of bad moves with regard to signings and disgardings, why has it been six years since we made a play for a decent halfback. Get rid of sheens and start making some good personel decisions not like the one that got rid of gibbs and landed us with blair the imposter

 

[mtd]

I think we need to know the facts before we can make a fair judgement.

Yeah,rumours on Twitter that Beau had to drop TV for next year,whatever the case if the Tige's don't fire in 2013 its going to get very messy.

if this is the reason for releasing him, because he wasnts to do TV, its an absolute joke. however i will wait till we find out more. still very foggy.

Yeah,but i was at School at the time. :laughing: We all joined Balmain Leagues when they changed the law to allow 18 year olds(used to be 21) into clubs ,1968 i think,and i have been a member ever since.
I was looking for the new Tigers web site and stumbled across this Forum,interesting comments,many are similar to what i thought about the 2012 season.I think Sheens has to reinvent himself,the other coaches seem to have his stock plays down pat and know what to expect.

 

[underdog]

It's going to be downwright awkward to see Beau in a Sharks jumper.

I also don't think the likes of Pomeroy, Mills, and Stapleton will garner as much excitement out of Beau Either when those lads cross for a try - they are all pretty potato like (i.e - average)

…..and wow, this news is SO BREAKING its apparently posted on the 20/9/2012 - 17 full minutes before it actually is the 20/9/2012....

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/strain-increases-as-blake-ayshford-joins-the-exodus-from-wests-tigers/story-e6frexnr-1226477596695

_PRESSURE is building on Wests Tigers officials to explain their latest shake-up to sponsors and members, who will be asking fresh questions after centre Blake Ayshford was this week given permission to join the Concord exodus.\
\
The club is enduring one of its most difficult weeks on record following the sudden departure of popular pair Chris Heighington and Beau Ryan, on top of ongoing uncertainty over the future of coach Tim Sheens.\
\
Tigers CEO Stephen Humphreys is experiencing immense strain as he attempts to placate confused players and sponsors amid a tough financial backdrop that's nullified any chance of paying out the final two years of Sheens' contract.\
\
The Daily Telegraph can also reveal Ayshford has begun searching for a new home in 2013 after being told to look elsewhere, with South Sydney mentioned as a possible suitor.\
\
The Rabbitohs have decided to release Fetuli Talanoa and have also sounded out Canberra Raiders winger Sandor Earl.\
\
It's also understood that Tim Moltzen's new three-year deal is yet to be signed-off on as the Tigers juggle their salary cap to accommodate Manly prop Brent Kite next season.\
\
Ryan found himself in a similar predicament, and without any written security for next season, pledged his services to Cronulla. Heighington is also bound for the Sharks after being told his Tigers contract would not be extended beyond next year.\
\
BEAU RYAN & CHRIS HEIGHINGTON\
\
High profile West Tigers defectors Beau Ryan & Chris Heighington are headed to Cronulla. Picture: Gary Graham Source: The Daily Telegraph\
\
The 29-year-old thought he'd stay a Tiger for life after club officials convinced him to reject a three-season deal at Penrith 12 months ago.\
\
Utility Tom Humble is also on his way out, while experienced trio Lote Tuqiri, Matt Utai and Liam Fulton are all finalising new deals.\
\
The sudden changes in recruitment and retention policy - leading to so many influential characters leaving - has ripped the heart out of the club's playing roster.\
\
Sponsors are understood to be particularly angered over Ryan's loss, given the exposure he generates on The Footy Show each Thursday night.\
\
And The Daily Telegraph can also reveal senior Tigers players met on Monday night to discuss the loss of Heighington and Ryan.\
\
The survivors will this week complete post-season training, which has been overseen by Sheens.\
\
The Warriors have made contact with the four-time premiership-winner to rebuild their fortunes following a disastrous 2012 campaign.\
\
But it remains to be seen whether Sheens wants to relocate should a formal offer be made._

Too bloody right! I never thought he would, or rather have to, leave this team - ever!

What's the idea in letting Beau & Chris go to the Sharks they've been 2 of our best players this year.Is it because of Braith & Brent coming to the club they better fullfill the contract & there worth.

 

[boonboon]

Ayshford and Moltzen as well- now sheens is doing what everyone. Wanted and fixing our squad . None of the players mentioned are stars and as such all can go
