Daily Telegraph runs the headlines:
"Wests Tigers apparel furore: players complain of needing to roll sleeves on new Steeden jerseys."
"Exclusive: how Wests Tigers bankrupted ISC over new merchandise discussions."

Anyone know how far he is away from playing again?

Looks like he did his ACL roughly 6-7 weeks before Walters so I'm hoping he wouldn't be far away.

Now signing Tom Amone our depth upfront is ridiculous.Tamou, Twal, Ofehengaue, Utoikamanu, Mikalele, Amone, Musgrove.

There is no value in keeping Packer for this season. Subsidised release maybe the smart play for all parties.

There is value in keeping Packer...he has loads of experience and the young blokes look up to him..it showed in our recent trial...lets be happy that we have so much depth and particularly experience to make a strong surge for finals footy...

Plus he’s our “hit man” when a dog shot is required !

Yes he is mate,but the young guys could learn a lot from Russ particularly on the training paddock..In my books and I have seen plenty over the years as well as when I played,Russell was very good for us with Matalino,he got really bad injuries which took surgery to fix...he had a very long lay off and his form faultered,now he is back and Madge seems to use him as a mentor for the young blokes...
sidenote...many on here crucify Packer for his misdememours which he has paid for,he was very good at the start of his contract with us and Madge and co seem to think highly of him...I will let them sort out his future...

I agree ..(seriously)

How to get paid 800k and only make 30 meters per game ?

Sorry couldn’t help myself ?

At least try and get the figure correct. 670k.

You’re such a sour puss Russ ..
Everything ok ?

All good thanks Hobbo - loving life, how about you?

I'm confused, is he rolling his sleeves up or down?

As the great Amy Whitehouse sang..Rehab..yeah yeah yeah..

I believe he's available in about 4 weeks.

I thought Amy's idea of rehab was a big No, No, No.

Must have been pretty keen on getting that 27 Club membership.

I just watched the nsw cup game again and this guy is a machine. Has thighs bigger then half my body and runs as hard as tamouloloo. He was on another level to every forward in the game from both teams. If this is his first game back from a knee injury then wow is he going to be good.

Yeah, he looked good.

Stocky and powerful, hopefully could provide impact off the bench later in the year.

We need his leg speed in first grade ASAP. Once he gets his match fitness he has to be on the bench.

Yeah man. I had to go off my stream to look up who the no. 18 was. This guy was carving up and he came from nowhere so late in the game.

I remember there was big hype from WT media about a signing announcement. Justin Pascoe said the signing was "a very good player". We all kind of shrugged. Tom Amone may have snuck under everyone's radar.

Agree he will be a gun player..... I am still a little suss as to why we only signed him to 1 year. There was a rumour that he came here for a year to get experience and was going to head back to souths next year as they can create a spot for him then. I hope if he keeps performing well we sign him up ASAP before other clubs do. Would be great on the bench for us.

He was head and shoulders above anyone else in that game. Interesting about the one year though. Hope it was more to do about his knee and to protect us if he couldn’t last a year.

Well would should have signed him for one year with a further 2 year option in the clubs favour then
