OFFICIAL Zane Musgrove [Discussion]

[diedpretty]

Signing subject to clearance from NRL. I think all announcements need this little bit too. What should we be liable when NRL will not clear the contract?

Exactly - thats what i was getting at - he is not contracted to us so why should we pay him - and if we are and he is found guilty and not registered by the NRL will they repay the monies we have paid him.

In one of the recent Go interviews she mentioned we are paying him to train with us. Which is probably outside the cap.

I wonder if we will come under any scrutiny for that from the NRL for that.

Why can Coleman (who was charged with Musgrove) continue to play and make sex tapes, but Zane’s contract cannot be registered?

Has Alex Seyfarth been promoted to the top 30? I was looking on Tigers web site & his photo is there.

Simon Cook who is the CEO at Wests Ashfield will be the caretaker CEO of Wests Tigers until Justin returns

That is because Toddles believes in "fairness" and not "equality".I honestly dont know how any supporter who loves the game can have any faith in Greenberg it is all about favouritism.

Looks like. 30 listed, not including Musgrove.

Haven't seen much of Seyfarth. Anyone have an opinion?

 

[Newtown]

Any latest information on Musgrove? I thought he was to attend court today.

 

[WhiTe Tiger]

Will be back in court on the 13th.

 

[Newtown]

Thanks, let's hope it is resolved one way or other very soon. Wests Tigers are already missing a very good forward in Chris Lawrence who is reported to be out of action for the next few months.

33 listed. All 4 2019 development players are listed but no actual details are shown other than a photo.

And Seyfarth has a long way to go. Big boy, tackles a lot, runs soft. Works his ass off and has a very good attitude which augurs well, but lacks impact. Similar to Eisenhuth in a way.

Story in the telegraph this morning that we have cut him loose

 

[hsvjones]

Can someone post the article for us ? Cheers

 

[Danny Blanco]

Read it this morning @ 7/11\. Its just a short blurb, it basically says that he was in court on (Wednesday) and that the tigers are not going to persue registering his contract regadless of whether or not he is found guilty. It also mentions that we've been paying him to train, and that he would look at another club to revive his NRL career pending his court case. I'm not sure of the validity of this, from what I've heard, he seemed to have a pretty solid defence - the article suggests that this isn't the case whatsoever though. We'll have to wait & see.

Opens it up for Ava.

 

[Newtown]

Besides Ava would Wests Tigers be looking at anyone else now that they have CAP space available?

Hasn't Ava already signed with Super League anyway?

"The Wests Tigers have moved on from signing prop Zane Musgrove regardless of the outcome of his impending court case.

Musgrove was due to join the Tigers from Souths this year to reunite with former coach Michael Maguire on a three-year deal.

However, he was never allowed to formally join the Tigers when the NRL refused to register the contract with his new club.

Musgrove was charged with indecently assaulting a 22-year-old woman at a Coogee pub in December.

The Tigers had toyed with the prospect of allowing Musgrove to train and be paid by the club pending his court case.

Regardless of the outcome of his court matter, he will not be a Tiger, meaning if he is found not guilty he will need to resurrect his career elsewhere.

Musgrove’s matter was listed for mention in Waverly Local Court on Wednesday."

 

[balmain boy]

Would seem extremely odd that we've stood by him for 4 months, obviously believing his side of the story, to now not wait for the outcome at the final stage.
He was in court Wednesday apparently. Was the hearing pushed back a few months? Is the trial ongoing? If we simply wanted to disassociate ourselves with someone of his character why not do so months ago?
