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

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

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

@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

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

Did old mate get banned tonight? What happened?

Didn’t he just get unbanned hahaha

He tends to meltdown after brutal losses

Kids

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

Is there a reason we have been so quiet in the player market recently?
I assume there is cap room.
Many other teams are making moves.
Are we targeting specific players or are we being over looked?
It’s pretty clear we need some upgrades/depth.

I would assume waiting for the right type of player at the right price. There’s definitely a need for outside backs and an edge backrower. We have plenty of depth at Prop, hooker options seem set, full back set and for the most part for now I’d say halves are set.

We will never get the right type of player for the right price when other teams are trumping our offer over or under the table
We must pay overs for one or two players
Players like Brandon Smith and Adam Reynolds
Get those two and others will follow as other players will start to see that we are building a good team
These two players would be draw cards

It didn’t work out that way when we signed Josh Reynolds and Moses Mbye.

The key is not so much how much you pay but who you pay it to
Now would you rather pay say $500,000 For Hastings or Say $800,000 for Brandon Smith
Brandon Smith I believe would be a far superior player in the Nrl
Hastings could be a flop
$300,000 cheaper but what is the point of saving $300,000 if he is useless
With Brandon, we can all see what we are getting
A player who likes to get his hands dirty down in the trenches

Who’s talking $500k for Hastings?

It’s a hypothetical?

Oh right. You could have made it realistic then. $800 for the cheese and $250 for Hastings maybe.

I would still have the cheese

Why not both

Because only one of them is Gouda cheese

Boring game compared to last night
