The officiators cost us the game for their inactions
If Latrell gets 3 to 4 weeks now then he should have been sent off during the game
Souths get the 2 points
We get nothing again
And the next 3 or 4 teams souths play get all the advantages

Yeah that seems fair Nrl officials
Thankyou and well done
This is one of the main reasons people don’t go to games any more
Us supporters want a fair go
Fix the bull---- and the crowds will come back

I watch nrl on channel 9 and listen to the ABC
if you want us supporters to spend our hard earned $ by buying a subscription then fix the bloody game you drongo’s
Or I will continue to keep my money

How is Nathan Peats not signed for 2021?

Give him 2 years (one in our favour).

Desperately need him…

For Peats sake
How can you even suggest that

I hope I’m wrong but I’m hearing TPJ to the dogs that will be their 2nd signing within 2 weeks

Your mail is usually pretty spot on so I can’t say I’m not super disappointed. Just wanted to say to everyone to keep an eye on your mental health, I know it sucks and hurts not being able to get anyone on board but it will get better.

Best way to do that is to walk away from this club and find something else to do in your life
I like the rest of us have lived in hope and been completely frustrated by this club for way to many years
And why do we do this to ourselves?
I know one thing for sure, if we don’t sign at least one major Signing before the new season starts then I will most likely walk away from this game and the club
It is one of the things over the last 15 years that has continually let me down
When you love the game and the club and it pretty much consumes your life during footy season, it starts getting a bit much to take
So many wrong decisions in the running of our competition and at our club have just about ruined it for me now
I would sit down and watch every game I could in the past but now I have given up
To many games are over in the 1st 20 minutes
The top 8 are pretty much the top 8 every year or close to it
What sort of a competition is that
Not one that I wish to follow
The competition is for the top clubs only
The rest of us are fodder to make up the numbers and generate revenue for the league
Well stuff them
I won’t support the Nrl unless things change quickly because I won’t put up with it much longer

The numbers speak for themselves

If Ricky was our coach he would cop a jail term after his press conference
I switched off because I could see the way the ref WANTED the game to go
There is so much bias in this game it really is not funny
They have really stuffed up our once great game
It started with the bogus cap and if that doesn’t work then the refs make sure it does

I wonder what safeguards are in place to prevent the fixing of final results
Some may tell me not to be stupid
But how after all these years has nothing changed in the decisions these guys in the middle make
Why are we always on the loosing end of penalty counts
Now 6 agains
Previous cap fines
Our CEO was even rubbed out
We get pulled up for ever minor incident and get punished for it
But the refs turn a blind eye when we should receive a call for a blatant infringement

I am truly turning against this game, it’s officiators and generally how it is run
I don’t expect help from those making the calls in the middle
But I do expect honesty
And that is not happening

Didn’t someone just say Dugan’s body is shot? Pass for me

CH9 - after shopping him around and obviously finding no takers for his $900k contract, Cronulla believe his knees are shot and he has a bad attitude. Shaun Johnson rebutted the bad attitude excuse now saying that Dugan participated really well in their training camp. Must be hugely embarrassing for the Sharks.

This is a shark worth $900,000 a year

From the mouth of a tigers board member. Madge asked the club about Folau over the off season and it was an unequivical NO. The chairman is a lawyer and a businessman and knows its anrgument he doesent want to be involved in given many players and supporters are religious but the club will not be signing Folau

There was an article saying there was drama with a board member leaving anyone know anything about that?

I’m no lawyer but if a nrl club gave him a contract think it would be hard for nrl to refuse. He’s no criminal. He’s a footballer who cares about all the other crap.

He’s done nothing wrong at the nrl as yet.

It was Mick Lubinskas - he didn’t leave - he was ousted from the board. The conspiracy theory is that Mick who is very pro magpies stated at the AGM that there was no way Wests Magpies would be re branded as Wests Tigers in NSW Cup or RMC while he was there. A week later he was ousted from the board of Wests Tigers and also as chairman of WS Magpies. There has been no official announcement from WT, WSM or Wests Ahfield as to why he was ousted.

Sounds like the Board got it right to me.

Of course it would to you - that doesn’t surprise me.

What are you talking about?

I don’t have surprise you at all, don’t read my posts. Simples

Are we Wests Tigers or are we still a 50/50 i.e. Half Wests Tigers and half Wests Magpies?

Thought we had got past that.

We are not a 50/50 JV, not even close, Balmain haven’t paid anything for a long time, Wests own 90%, could’ve been 100% as Balmain pay nothing. So that is why we have Wests Magpies as a reserve grade team

It’s not Western suburbs or Balmain any longer
It’s Wests Tigers and has been for almost 20 years
I don’t care who owns the joint
I followed Balmain until they merged with Western suburbs
Now I follow Weststigers
It could be owned by Kylie Minogue for all I care
Who owns it is irrelevant to a supporter
Who really thinks about the owner of a club when games are being played
As far as I am concerned Balmain doesn’t exist any more
Nor does Western suburbs
All grades should be known as Wests Tigers
They are still owned by the same people
I don’t even mind the fact that they wear predominantly wests colours
To me it’s the Name that we all associate with
I myself would like to thank the Western suburbs arm of our club for saving us all from oblivion
Some of the behaviour from the hierarchy over the years has been nothing less than childish
We are now one club
And we should act like it

I haven’t seen the forum buzzing about a debut since a kid named Tedesco.

Lets saviour this moment of Blore
To be honest, Tedesco didn’t bring the excitement to this club that Blore has managed to do in one debut game
Blore has really come from nowhere
Lets hope he can bring his game each week
He obviously loves the game
Even though he took Brown on and won that battle, he had the class to run up to Brown after the game to shake his hand
This kid gets it

Is it possible that the dogs haven’t announced him yet because they can’t get him under their cap
Are they waiting to move someone on 1st
Anyway if reports are true then we should move on and forget about TPJ
I don’t know why we hang on so long for an answer
Either a player accepts our offer or he doesn’t
It should not be used as a bargain chip
I just bought a unit with an offer on the table for 24 hours
I didn’t give them time to have an open home so others could make an offer
It was a take it or leave it approach
It’s worked for me twice now as I learnt the 1st time not to get played and used as leverage
Our initial offer to Pangai was probably the best offer at the time, but giving him all this time to field better offers works against you
Put your best offer in the 1st time and give minimal time to accept
If it’s not good enough then move on the the next

>We should not have gone back for a second bite

I would go after Vaughan now in the fashion I spoke about above
Ask his manager what would secure his signature today/Tomorrow
If we agree get the deal done
If not then walk away and let him take his chances elsewhere

Nrl contracts are like an auction now
Usually goes to the highest bidder but also comes back to the terms

Maybe the club should have gone to $750’000 per year on a 3 year deal
But the 2nd and 3rd year in the clubs option
If he performs we take it up
If not the see ya later
Bit like Bj

I disagree with that. You go back for a second crack for two reasons. The first is you might just get them at a price you are willing to pay. The second reason is the opposition then has to pay overs for them and it hurts them financially to do so.

And yet Bulldogs are now looking at Signing Vaughan as well
Where is all this cap coming from

I suppose if you’re going to use that tactic, you’ve got to be prepared to walk after 24 hours as well.

I’d also imagine that tactic attracts sellers that are desperate for a buyer.

I don’t think TPJ was desperate and I don’t think we were willing to walk given there arent that many players around in the market of TPJ’s stature.

I doubt this tactic would work if attempting to buy a highly sought after property.

In property sometimes the 1st offer is the best offer
Sure we take a risk
But so does the player in ?

@le-tiger said in Pangai Junior:

Top team bringing in players from bottom teams for the finals is not why we have mid season transfers.

Hope if back fires on Penrith. Can’t imagine morale would be good if TPJ holds his spot in the team as a hired gun while someone who has played for the team all season has to sit out.

He could get suspended for 12 weeks in the final game
That would be gold

Just another nail in NRL’s coffin for me. I don’t say how it’s ethical for Penrith to play TPG for a few games and then the finals. I realise it’s contractually legitimate, I just think it’s in the real spirit of the game however old-fashioned that view may be.

Totally agree
