    • RE: Madge vs JT vs Potter vs Cleary

      We’ve already proven that changing coaches isn’t the answer

      And yes Madge may have been responsible for the signing and re signing of most of our current squad but he has to sign someone to make up the numbers doesn’t he

      We have to have a certain amount of players at certain times during the year

      He obviously can’t get stars to come to the club that’s why he is stuck signing players he obviously doesn’t want

      That’s why we have no choice but to allow him the time to bring through these youngsters and other established quality players as we slowly start to gain cap space after the end of contracts like Mbye and JR and McQueen and so on

      Of course the results are the same as previous coaches with this squad

      It’s why the Bellamy Bennett Robinson’s of this world won’t touch this club because the job to fix it is too Damn hard

      At least Madge is highly motivated to give it a shot so let’s Damn support the coach for once hey instead of riding him into the ground

      @2005magic I like all your suggestions .Tetevano and Hiroti I don’t think will cost that much . And brown if he has a big year could see himself in a blue jersey .

      Ummm, no. Coming to the Tigers destroys your chances of rep honours apparently. Just ask Gal.

      And Gal playing for the blues absolutely ruined the blues chances of winning a SOO series

      Just ask anybody

      We have Simpkins aswell but and he is ment to be the next big thing we are sorted in the hooking role for years to come

      If they stay that is

      True to wests tigers form it will play out like this

      Liddle will get sick of waiting on Grant to decide his future who is sick of waiting for Cam to sort his future

      So Liddle will sign with dog’s

      Cam will than retire or head to Queensland

      Grant will than end up at storm

      Than simpkin who has been forgotten through all this commotion will get homesick and head back to Queensland

      We will than sign old favorite Pita Godinet to a 4 year deal

    • RE: Aloiai

      Even if we get Joe I still think we should play hardball with JA and Manly

      Like Joe will be here regardless of what we do with JA so still make manly offer something really meaningful or if they don’t just stick JA with the CC squad and use him when needed

      Make the germ waste a whole season unless we get something or we can comfortably fill our squad and use all our cap money on players that Madge really wants

      Capewell has all but aligned himself with the Knights. As someone already said in here, he’s knocked the Tigers back more than once. The club isn’t chasing him. The last I heard, is that Wests Tigers are waiting to see who Matterson aligns himself with and then they plan to negotioate a player swap deal with that team.

      If true that is amateur recruiting, waiting on someone else to make a decision

      we should be shopping him not waiting for teams to come to us…get on the front foot and make teams think about it rather than have them offer us their scraps

      How would that work?

      Tigers: Hello, is this Ian Warriors, head of recruitment at the New Zealand Warriors?
      Warriors: Yes it is. What can I do for you?
      Tigers: Would you like to take one back row forward, slightly used, good engine off our hands? He’s going to need about $600,000 a year.
      Warriors: Why that sounds like a bargain! Sign us up.
      Tigers: Great. Oh, one thing: we’re going to need Cuzzy Promusung-Youngster in return.
      Warriors: Hmm, less good but still ok.
      Tigers: Great, hold the line please.

      …

      Tigers: Hey Ryan, we’ve got a new home for you. How much would you like to live in Auckland?
      Matterson: Not at all. My manager is working on this and he will be in touch. Goodbye.

      Exactly.

      it needs to play out the way it is. the club is doing the right thing.

      end of the day we dont have to release the bum, we can introduce him to State cup and leave him there.
      The club know they have no chance to force him to play somewhere he doesnt want to

      Let clubs offer what they want for him

      If we are not happy with it than refuse the release

      Tell Matterson he has e choices

      1. Aim up at training and play your best and hopefully get rewarded with SOO jersey

      2. Tank it like sook moses and play CC and watch your career go down the gurgler

      3. Spit the dummy and sit out the next 2 seasons payment free

      Make your choice but these are your options so suck it up sook

    • RE: Confirmed: Matterson released from Wests Tigers.

      @dazza65 said in Matterson unhappy at Tigers?:

      I know this may be unpopular but I would be handling this very differently.
      In my opinion, one of the issues we have is that it is generally felt that we are pushovers or at the very least weak in comparison to the glamour or elite teams - and to a degree we probably are; we are victim of past sins in some ways.

      If I were Pascoe of Madge I would have made this a very real “line in the sand” situation for all to see - players, managers, NRL, whoever.

      We signed RM in good standing and he (or manger, doesn’t matter) have tried to screw us over and “bully” us into letting him go - for no real reason.

      I can’t see any available player out there offering WT an upgrade on RM anyway, so I would not be letting him leave. For the money he is on, he can stay and if his form or attitude is not up to scratch, he can see out his remaining contract in reserves. See what that does for his value on his next contract !

      It has probably gone beyond this now to be a workable outcome but it is what I would have done from the beginning - as I said “line in the sand” stuff, WT will no longer be held hostage by player managers, players or anyone.

      I know some of you will say its hypocritical to take this stand when we are also trying to move on Mats/Packer/Josh etc etc but from what I understand this is by mutual agreement and we have said we will be honouring any of these players deals if they can’t/won’t be taken up by others.

      As I mentioned in another thread, if a player has the right to ask for an upgrade after one year of a three year deal because he performed above expectations - we should also be able to reduce a players contract for poor performance - be careful what you wish for…

      Totally agree

      Stuff him

      If he doesn’t aim up next 2 years it’s career down the drain

      Would love to see the tigers make a big stand on this

      @JoshColeman99 said in Madge vs JT vs Potter vs Cleary:

      Not sure how many times I’ve said that but you can’t expect instant results. Our cap is screwed, no finals in 9 years, our roster is big average and no big name players want to be here.

      What Madge is going takes time and unfortunately as a consequence we will struggle on the field for a while longer. It’s a lot better than Cleary who screwed up our entire salary cap and we could barely score a point under him.

      Gotta wait until the rebuild is complete to judge the coach fully

      What do you mean by instant? 9 years since finals? almost
      2 full seasons of Maguire in charge? Some get jack of being told to be patient. I remember I was told to be patient in 2014. I even remember the night. We’d been rolled by Manly at Brookie. Things were going to be great in a year or two. They weren’t. So what reason do I have to believe it now? Cos Madge hasn’t had a hand in signing 6 or 7 players to round out his squad? That’s going to finally make those calls for patience a reality. Really?

      I’m afraid being patient is our only option

      I hate it just like you do

      But changing coaches will just keep us in an endless cycle of pain

      So now we’re saying the door is still open???

      If we’ve pulled the offer the door should be closed, otherwise what does it actually mean to pull the offer?

      This is just ridiculous now.

      We’ve either closed the door or we haven’t, if we haven’t, then the offer hasn’t been pulled.

      Seems like he’s called our bluff

      Nothing is as black and white as you make out. It’s always shades of grey. The dichotomy is false. Personally I am happy the door is still open. Doesn’t mean he will come but it is good business sense.

      So now he knows the offer hasn’t been withdrawn and we’re still waiting for him, so nothing has changed right?

      What’s so hard to understand?

      If he accepts our offer before the money is spent he gets the contract

      If the money is spent before he accepts the offer he misses out

      Does it need anymore explaining than that

    • RE: Signing Suggestions & Rumours

      @Masterton said in Signing Suggestions & Rumours:

      Two more spots need to be filled by season kick-off, plus one more by June 30. The Tigers are still hopeful one spot will be filled by rookie Parramatta prop Stefano Utoikamanu.

      A top-quality outside back remains at the top of coach Michael Maguire’s wish list. Maguire has always been known for his ability to identify a player’s worth and not budge on that amount.

      Tigers chief executive Justin Pascoe told the Herald on Tuesday the Tigers had avoided falling into the trap of having to pay ‘overs’ for quality players.

      Pascoe said for the first time in a long time they had the luxury of having cash to splash on decent players when most rival clubs were still juggling their cap for this season and 2021.

      "When there are reports we have cap space, every player who comes on to the market is linked with us,’’ Pascoe said.

      "The great challenge for us in recent months has been balancing that huge expectation from fans who read these media reports, and making sure we’re making strategic decisions in regards to adding value to what is already a strong roster.

      "Having cap space at this time of year allows us the opportunity to be strategic and leverage of other clubs who might have challenges with their cap space.

      "This is a position we haven’t been in for four years and it’s taken us a long time to get here. We just have to be patient.’’

      When Mitchell was unveiled as Souths’ latest signing at Redfern on Monday afternoon, he said he would have regretted rushing into a lucrative four-year deal on the table from the Tigers.

      Pascoe, however, felt Mitchell was referring to money rather than taking a swipe at the Tigers.

      Negotiations with Mitchell lasted about a month and were abandoned well before Christmas – and never got anywhere near $1.2 million a season, said Pascoe.

      Adam Doueihi was expected to wear the Souths No.1 jersey before Mitchell’s signing and has since been linked to the Tigers. Doueihi would be a handy pick-up for the Tigers because of his versatility but is on a heavily back-ended deal. His pay packet is not one the Tigers are prepared to entertain.

      Some Tigers fans have questioned the big money splurged on Russell Packer and Josh Reynolds who have both struggled with injury, while Ryan Matterson felt at the end of last season he was not being paid enough and sulked before being released to join Parramatta. Kiwi international Esan Marsters was also allowed to switch to North Queensland.

      The Tigers spent last week in Brisbane where they enjoyed a bonding session with Mbye seen as the early favourite to take over Robbie Farah’s No.9 jersey.

      https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/cashed-up-tigers-wait-patiently-for-their-own-marquee-man-20200114-p53rck.html

      I’m prerty happy with Pascoe

      Sounds like some clubs trying to take advantage of us to ease their cap pressure but we are playing them as we used to be played and only entertaining what’s best for us

      So much media speculation but we are really playing it cool

      Our fans are panicking but I don’t think there is any need to anymore with Pascoe Madge Hartigan etc

      Love it absolutely love it

      We will surprise a few next year

      Will sneak into the 8 under Madge but struggle in finals due to lack of strike power

      I’m 3 from 3 in the rumour mill and I’ll be 4 from 4 after Laurie starts training with us after next week. It’s a done deal, the sticking point Cini but now resolved. Pemriff wanted a trade deal for Simpkins and were prepared to pay plenty so that’s probably a good sign too.

      Which Simpkins? The dummy half?

      I

      Yep, Hooker Simpkins

      And we said yes? Surely we aren’t getting rid of him?

      No, we didn;t say yes but he was the player they wanted.

      Simpkins will be a gun hooker hopefully gets a shot this year

      I hope our club is working on an upgraded and extended contract. Having another club chase him even though he hasn’t made his debut suggests we have a great talent on our hands. Great talents also attract other great talents.

      And with Packers contract up this year and possibly Mbye moving on we will have plenty of cash to fight of rival offers

      Also has been reported in the past that he is a fan of Madge which helps

      You said a month ago he was signing in 3 days

      Would definitely love to get him

      Hope you are right

      Your source may be good but let’s face it only Crichton really knows what he’s doing

      For those that are interested and yes I know he isn’t playing anymore but honestly I was a bit shocked to say the least when I read this and what has become of Brett’s life, very sad.

      Former NRL star in custody for more than six months
      Janessa Ekert,Janessa.ekert@news.com.au
      The 46 year old is charged with the aggravated possession of ice and faces up to 25 years jail if convicted.

      fee573a2-f4ee-4686-9ffc-ce4621dd7af5-image.jpeg
      Former rugby league footballer Brett Dallas outside Mackay courthouse.

      Former Mackay NRL star Brett Dallas could face up to 25 years jail if convicted of aggravated methylamphetamines possession.

      Next week he will make a bail bid after spending more than six months in custody on remand.

      The 46 year old is charged with 13 offences including the aggravated possession of ice, supplying ice, producing marijuana, possessing ketamine and weapons category D/H/R.

      His case was listed in Mackay Magistrates Court for a hand-up committal and bail application on January 7.

      However because of issues with the videolink the bail application could not proceed.

      He has been in custody on remand since June last year and it is the first time he has been behind bars.

      Mr Dallas shot to stardom in 1995 for a 90-metre runaway try that helped secure Queensland’s Origin series win.

      The former Queensland and Australia rugby league winger has played five Tests and 10 State of Origin games as well as club stints at the Bulldogs, North Sydney and English club Wigan.

      After playing seven seasons with the English Super League he retired in 2007.

      Legal Aid Queensland defence solicitor Rosie Varley said her client’s matter would proceed by way of full hand-up committal “with no submissions”.

      The case was listed next Friday for a bail application. https://content.api.news/v3/images/bin/ed65684277379749ab0b5e4fa0156103?width=1024
