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
Fit, Fast, Mean and someone that will beat you every time

And then you have Dugong (Dugan)

Over weight, Slow and easily beaten
$90,000

@GNR4LIFE said in Shawn Blore:

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
War on the field
Gentleman off it

I hope the slimes get absolutely smashed tonight.

No Sivo

It will be the best night I have had in ages

Hello Mitchell

Ch 7 reporting Dogs making big $$$$ offer for Storms Brandon Smith.

Who would be a better fit for our team
Addo-Carr or Brandon smith

Ado-Carr, we need speed very badly.

That’s why Madge is looking at Proctor
Sign him and all of a sudden all our players will have plenty of speed

Some government funding for our club to help stimulate the building industry would help and get people back to work

On another note
Maybe Members and Businesses can help with the purchase of a tile with the members number imprinted on it
Imagine a huge wall with mosaic tiles that make the colours and picture of our Tigers emblem as you enter the club
A 25mm x 25mm tile that fills a wall 8 meters x 8 meters at a cost of $20 per tile ( donation ) would
raise over $2,000,000 for the club
It is something we can all be part of and be proud of
I would happily donate $200.00 for 10 tiles to be part of it
I wonder if the club has thought of anything like this so some of us silent supporters and members can be part of the build
It could be taken further by having a wests tigers
“Wall of Fame”
It could be part of the wests tigers website and we could all put in as little or much information about ourselves for other members to read
It could also be used as a networking tool for like minded people
Just a thought

@GNR4LIFE
If you compare both LM and Jac to chess pieces they would both be Queens
They can both move quick and can cause a lot of damage to the other side very quickly
Not much would stop them if they worked in tandem
Nothing beats speed
Of course our forwards need to do a job and being a year older and wiser I think players like Aloiai Twal Mck Garner Clark and Mikaele will be much better and Hungrier for success
He’ll if Packer can perform we will be ok in the forwards
In 2005 it was our ability to score points that won us our premier ship
If teams scored 28 points against us we scored 30
LM and Jac will allow us to do that
If we can manage to snare them both this off season then get them both
Next off season we can tidy up the forwards if we need to
You would think that if LM and Jac are signed elsewhere for 3 or 4 years then we will miss the boat again
Sign them up now
See how we go in 2020
Use part of our $5 million in free cap(apparently) in 2021 to upgrade our forwards
Rome wasn’t built in a day but it has to start someday
This is the time
I look forward to good news
Please make it happen tigers

hope we get saab

He should be our kicker
He would be known as Saab Convertible

I would not play anyone who is not in our plans for next year
The last game of the year Lawrence and Marshall can play for the service they have given our club as a sign of respect
The rest can get stuffed
No more Nuffies
Major changes required

By the looks of it, its time we moved on from Addo-Carr
Get Momo back
Chase a few other players looking for a start
Both Broncos and Warriors are having a clean out
Stgeorge and Bulldogs will follow
Panthers, Roosters are likely to struggle with the cap
There will be other players that become available
Let’s not be held to ransom

@walter said in Signing Suggestions & Rumours:

I hope daine Laurie is as good as everyone on here makes him out to be

Is he a 9
Because hookers are all the talk at the moment

I see Laurie as a player like Preston Cambell or a Matty Bowen or even a Ben Barba style
If he can get anywhere near this quality of player then we have a keeper

4. Wooden Spoon
   The poor Wests Tigers, not only will they miss the finals for a tenth consecutive year, but they’ll pick up the wooden spoon along the way. They have some big salaries in Moses Mbye and Russell Packer clogging their cap, a highly rated young brigade with few NRL games between them, a half with 148 games and zero finals appearances, and a lot of inconsistency in the squad. They’ll be the big improvers of 2022, but this will not be their year.

From Jack Blyth , zero tackle…

Cant wait till he’s proven wrong…

Strange logic from Jack Blyth? We had Moses Mbye and Rusty Packer in the squad last year and were at the top end of the bottom 8. OK, sure our wingers are shorter than our 5/8 and we have a young squad but we also have new and improved leadership.
I think Broncos and Bulldogs will fight it out for the spoon. It’s gonna take a while to fix the Broncos shipwreck while the Dogs will have defensive issues, particularly out wide.
I hope we’re also underestimated by other clubs.

Yea its a pretty big call - i would put us in a group of about 7 teams that could all potentially get the spoon. Personally i think its between Saints and Cronulla. Throw us in the mix with Warriors, Dogs, Cowboys and Broncos.

What about Manly,they lost one of, if not the best forwards in the comp and replaced him with JA who is ordinary.Plus J and T Toboyderic when he plays carry the sideTommy is brilliant but always injured and Jakes starting to look burnt out playing above his weight.

Big thing for Manly will be Fainu …not sure what his court case situation is …but if they get him back …good player

He knived a bloke mate . It’s hard to see him being back anytime soon , he’s gonna be doing well not to do a stint , let alone play footy any time soon .
Still, if that muppet from the broncos can find his way back in , anyone can .

Lot of muppets at the Broncos …next Muppet Movie will be based at Red Hill

Yea true
They could have signed a new muppet
The way you were carrying on earlier you would have got a start
Hey Grouchy

How fitting
This muppet lives in a bin too

Fox sports saying that McInnes has toured the facilities at concord and wants his future sorted by the end of the month - but hasn’t received an offer from dragons

Also says if dragons sign McCullough it could send McInnes to us and Billy Walters up to broncos - we apparently asked for Reece Walsh in return for Billy which broncos refused

I think the Dragons would be crazy letting McInnes go
He is one of the few worth keeping
But if they did let him go, imagine what the other players would think

Do I hear Eggshells

Thanks mate but all quiet here
Its only a small one at the moment, maybe a cat two if it hits
Looks like it will head our way tomorrow if reports are accurate
Going to hit between Port Douglas and Innisfail
That puts Cairns in the middle
Something this small usually just uproots trees and takes out garage doors

The TC has headed south faster than one of your jokes …closer to me than you now lol

Yep
It will be the most exciting event to pass your neck of the woods for the last 20 years
It will probably blow the old cobwebs of Geo’s banjo that he left at your place last time he visited

By the sounds of it, it will weaken to a low and head north again

Seriously, there is not a half in the world that would have looked good in the Tigers side last year.We had forwards who had little forward momentum and soft in defence.JA was our best and he was ok but not anything special.Our backline was lacking penetration and was slow.We had no fullback,no goalkicker,and a bunch of guys who would be lucky to survive in the CC comp,who we kept moving around on the hope they might make some impact.

I disagree so if the forwards were that bad last season … why was Grant such a sensation ? You either have the the goods or not that is as simple as it gets . Yes a stronger pack makes a 7’s job easier but a 7 that has the goods will always stand out ! This rubbish about the forward pack is just falsely

Grant played with the same so called dud forwards that Brooks played with. Grant looked like a champ … Brooks well you either have it or you don’t!
The champs stand out whether there playing with champs or chumps that’s always been the way .

They played with the same dud forwards - yes.

But Grant wasn’t playing half.

He did when Liddle came off the bench …

I thought he played lock ???

Well he did …but he was playing in the 1st receiver role

We played our best footy then too. The more he has the ball the better we went

All he needs is a good 5/8 because he’s never had one. Might get that this year.

1st he needed a bigger stronger forward pack
He has that now
2nd he needed a stronger centre / winger combination who could stop leaking points and score more points
Jury is out on that
3rd he needs a decent Hooker/Dummy half who can get him the ball quick
That should be ok this year
4th he needs a decent fullback who can chime in and give more options or create panick in the oppositions defence which may give Brooks more time to create some magic of his own
5th he needs some speed men around him
Hopefully Jet helps with that
Now he needs a decent 5/8

At some stage Brooks needs to stand up and take the game by the scruff of the neck and lead our team by Example
Take the ball to the line and take the defence on more often
And get his kicking game in order
We all know he can do it because he has done it before
He just needs to do it consistently
LAST CHANCE
He has the big forwards he needs, the speed he has needed and other options to go to
He doesn’t need to do it all himself
He just needs to pick the right play at the right moment
I hope he finally has a stand out year
He is becoming one of the most experienced halfbacks in the NRL
Now he needs to show it

Laurie profile removed from Panthers site.

If so and he is on his way here then watch the Rumours of Mbye moving back to Qld gain Momentum over the next month or two
If so he needs to be here until Laurie is ready for fullback full time
Unless of course someone is willing to pay full freight
Mbye would be a good fit for Brisbane
