Is this still a thing?
I thought this podcast was abandoned due to lack of interest and replaced by that new improved podcast of McDougall's.

"Mixed bag" - the up and down week of a Wests Tigers fan! We talk contract deals, rumours, and leaks, the contentious lock position and the encouraging Terrell May comments. https://weststigerspodcast.com.au/wests-tigers-podcast-0368/

Thanks for the pod. Reckon where we are at this time of year vs last year is so much better. Hopeful for better result in 25 season. Merry Xmas to you all.

Did the pod cover the resigning of Pole and the train and trial for Sione?

Yes on episode 367.

Interesting conversation we had on the last pod, should Sione be upgraded when we free up the next top 30 spot?

I didn’t see enough yet myself, certainly not anything more than a short term deal on a modest contract.

We need backrow depth and he’s not that.

I thought he had a good season, but feel we need to upgrade in the backrow before we offer him top 30

 

[Tom Shines]

Currently, I would have Sione in the Top 20 players in this squad , never mind the Top 30…. It’s unfortunate that he is the one missing out due to the roster squeeze … I hope he is looked after with a deal prior to the season starting …nothing too outrageous of course … perhaps just 1 year at $300K …

He probably is in my top 20 as well, but I don't see how we can upgrade him until we free up at least 2 more roster spots.

You have to upgrade him. Especially with the perception / misunderstanding when we signed May. Not just because of the damage to the family , but also tartak has a fair chunk of clients now which are essential to our rebuild .
Hopefully when the squads head towards pre-season a club who’s short on backs depth comes calling for Naden or even Saukuru.
I feel like centre is the 1 position we are absolutely stacked at .
Some top 30 centres could potentially find themselves in Ron Massey or U21s . Feledy might spend the season down there if the guys are fit . As with Saukuru .
I can see Faataape and Naden being first choice for KOE cup , with AD and Sullivan in the halves .
We might even field a strong KOE team this year . We definitely are 1 centre too heavy IMO.

I don't know how we upgrade him with the hole we have in the second row.

Just have to . It’s the morally right choice IMO. As much as it’s not for the roster .

I'd prefer to win.

 

[Lestronge]

I'd prefer to win.

Agree , but I’d most rather win for a very long time . And breaking promises is an easy way to return the club back to a rugby league Blackrock mercenary group.
I think we’ve finally got something brewing , and simple things like this are an easy way to destroy culture .
And whoever we sign , are they really going to be such a wonderful player that they’re worth that ….

Who do we play in the second row?

Who do we play in the second row?

Who do you want them to sign to play there ?
