WT Player Retention/Recruitment/Loss List

Our signings list is looking quite nice and will only get better one would think….

Average Ava is no loss.
 
It's hard to see the Dogs keeping 5 rep props. It depends on what Ivan thinks. He's made it clear he will only chase players he wants and not buy for the sake of it.
 
Hope Ava ends up being like Cherrington at the sharks.

Newtown bench player.
 
Is that Vete from the Warriors?

Watched him on the weekend. Not overly impressed.

A couple of forwards on the warriors bench really impressed.
 
I don't see us getting or even going after Dylan Edwards. Think we're more likely to end up with Holland.
 
Milky, WT just confirmed a young prop from Parra, Alex Twal. Good depth and potential, will become a big bopper.
 
Got a mate that runs a café. He messaged me to say that Cleary (flat white) met with Mundine (Chai Latte) earlier this week. I thought nothing of it till I saw this article:

**Anthony Mundine claims he wants a rematch with Danny Green ... and a rugby league return**

Anthony Mundine has made his most audacious claim yet, saying he could become the oldest rugby league player in premiership history.

The boxer and former St George Illawarra and NSW State of Origin star, who turns 42 at the end of the month, reckons he can set the record for being league's most senior player, surpassing Billy "Bluey" Wilson, who retired in 1967 at the age of 40.

"I feel that good and that youthful," Mundine told AAP.

"If I can get anywhere up to the speed of what I used to be as a youngster, that could definitely be an option.

"I want to do things that have never been done. I want to make it possible."

Mundine said despite being out of the game for 17 years - having left the Dragons and quit rugby in 2000 to pursue a boxing career - it is all about having "the speed, instinct and the football experience".

"I believe I am capable of it," he said.

"Obviously I would like to go back to the Dragons but I don't know what their plans are. I will have to try and talk to them.

"But I am not really thinking of that right now. I just want to train my body and train my mind.

"I am doing the things I used to do, but I am just doing them better because I am wiser."

But the two-time boxing world champion says any attempt to return won't come before a third bout with long-time rival Danny Green.

"I haven't hung the gloves up totally yet," Mundine said.

Mundine went down to Green in a controversial points decision in Adelaide in February, Green squaring the ledger more than a decade after beating his fierce rival in Sydney in 2006.

Mundine's camp lodged an official appeal with the Australian National Boxing Federation in the hope of getting the result changed to 'no decision'.

But the former super-middleweight and middleweight world champion, who previously ruled out a third bout between the pair, says he is keen to settle the score once and for all.

"I am not sure what is happening with that (a rematch) but it could happen," Mundine said.

"If it does, I might have one more to finish as a winner."

He said he was back training once a day, five days a week with the hope of returning to the ring with Green at the end of the year.

"I would like it to happen this year, at the end of the year personally, but it depends on his (Green's) camp and his team," he said.

"I have shaken the cobwebs out, I feel good, I feel youthful and I feel I could do another five years if I really wanted to."

I have a friend, who has a friend, who in turn has a few friends. One of those few friends who is lactose intolerant, read an article (he can't remember where) that suggested that Jeff Fenech was seen in a gym. Rumour has it that he is trying to get a contract with the Wests Tigers because they have plenty of cap space.

This is fun. I'll be disappointed when all the seats are filled. :bawling
 
Once Moses. Woods and Tedesco are signed WT will have a heap of money to spend on top level players for 2018.
