No thanks
Starting another rebuild is not the answer

Reading this thread is like waiting for the drought to break. Keep looking at weather site and sceptical of any forcast. Got to work on the fact we are one day closer than yesterday

SHOOSH

Player agent Sam Ayoub is desperately trying to find a new club for wayward centre Curtis Scott. The Newcastle Knights are his latest target. This guy has so much ability if he can get off the drink and start behaving himself.

With behavioural clauses in the contract he is less of a risk than JTJ. Very good player, a moron off the field.

Newcastle is not the place for him if he’s got a drinking problem

Isn’t jrey a cleanskin.
Think you guys are dreaming to believe he’s done something bad enough that would negate his contract

Noffa doesn’t owe the club as the club doesn’t owe noffa anything.
We really can’t offer money on sentiment imo just fair value.
Benji and Farah got overs to stay which didn’t help the club any. Most other clubs have players like this sign for less.
If noffa leaves that’s his choice. Only hope if it happens that it all goes down with integrity

Watched the fox video. Seemed setup to imo

I have it on good authority that I have no idea but I would prefer wighten over LM.

Happy Xmas to all.
Don’t get stuck in the chimney

Not sure where to post link, as idk if the Latrell thread still exists, but find his comments in article could be useful or constructive for club recruitment and management.

The 23-year-old, who is aiming to extend his deal at Redfern, spoke in detail for the first time about his meeting with the Cowboys - something that was arranged as he was en route to Cairns for a holiday - and his Taree coffee date with Tigers coach Michael Maguire.

While he was tempted by the country lifestyle the Cowboys offered, Mitchell said the Tigers tabled a deal worth north of $1m a season.

"It was big money - we’re talking big money - but I said to myself, ‘If I go there, will I be happy and the player I want to be?’,‘’ Mitchell said.

"People will see I’m on over $1m … I didn’t need that pressure yet, with the money side [of things]. I thought, ‘Souths are keen, I’ll take a pay cut and go and play with them, challenge myself and play with some elite players’.

"The Tigers had Benji [Marshall] and good players. But they didn’t have the foundation. They played good this year and it was grouse to see.

But they didn’t have your Cody Walkers and Adam Reynolds, boys who have played together for years - the three players in the spine (along with Damien Cook) have played for four or five years already.

"Benji was in and out [of the halves], Luke Brooks was in and out, they [the Tigers] just couldn’t find that balance. I was like, ‘I can’t go there yet’. If there was an opportunity later on, maybe.

But I don’t understand how a rational observer of the game can say Brooks has been good this season.

I’ve watched him and he has been good. Very few mistakes. Making his tackles. He has had a good kicking and passing game. He is doing his job reasonably well. Our problem has not been Brooks or close to it.

Your comment sort of sums up the Brooks hate. It’s always couched in he has had years of failure.

It’s not his fault the team has lost for many years. A good example is Benji. There were people stating Benji was the reason we lost last year and now he is gone we are going to start winning. Of course this wasn’t true same as the Brooks hate.

I sort of understand what you are stating in that Brooks isn’t really that good. If we can do better and upgrade him we should. If Hastings is that player great.

The biggest thing I see with peoples opinion on brooks that they think he should be able to win all the games by himself because he’s the halfback. But in reality even dce can’t do it at manly with out turbo. Cronk had slater and smith then teddy and keary. All with a good pack and solid D.Cleary the same.
If our D improves to that standard I think brooks can do a job for us. Douehi seems to be adding value and Laurie developing so good times ahead if our D can be sorted

What is the love on here for Conner Watson. I really don’t think he is a great lock unless you have others dominating the middle. Imo if we were after someone of that mould we would be better served going for Lachlan lewis. At least he is a better defender

Don’t think we need either though

Lachlan Lewis? That guy is park footy level

Correct. And I rate Watson less

Interesting on SEN Jimmy Smith yesterday was bagging out Michael Chammas for picking on WT and his co presenter Katie Brown sticker up for her mate Michael chammas. Apparently yesterday afternoon Chammas rang Jimmy Smith and told him he is definitely getting mail from inside the club. Jimmy Smith then said on air this morning the discussion was amicable between he and Chammas after he had a go at him yesterday.
It does sound like someone in the club is tipping off some of the journo’s

Sometimes I think the club should just go with it and treat journos like it’s April fools 80% of the year

Rumours of an offer made to Lachlan Lewis in an effort to bolster the Tigers’ tackling?

Gus will get him to the dogs

I’m eligible to go on list but I live rural and have limited contact with people so happy to wait as there is probably others that need it more

Maguire shares his disappointment following Leichhardt loss
Author - Michael Blok
Sun 4 Jul 2021, 08:17 PM

Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire has shared his frustrations following his side’s loss to South Sydney on Sunday afternoon.

The home side trailed by 26 points at half-time before rallying in the second half to reduce the deficit to 16 points.

“I need to find men who are accountable for what we are doing. It’s not acceptable for where we are going as a club,” Maguire said.

"Our start looked like a training run for Souths. It was very disappointing to see us start like that.”

Although Maguire was disappointed with the result, he’s confident the club is still heading in the right direction.

“I think the club is in really good shape to be able to take us to where want to get to," Maguire said.

"I talk to everyone around the organisation and we have been through a fair bit together.

"I have a really good group of young men who are really hungry to take the Wests Tigers forward.

"We have to do a lot of recruiting in that space in the last 12 months.

“Those young guys the more games they play and the more often they’re out on the field, they are going to improve.”

Is he talking about reserve grade in the last 3 quotes

Is it possible the club withdraw the offer to negotiate elsewhere and unable to leave it at the table.
