An interesting post from elsewhere FWIW

Quote:
We are not shopping Lomax around, he’s shopping himself around, he was a tigers fan growing up, idolised Benji, wants big money and wants to play under a decent coach.

It’s on the dragons forum

The poster also went on to say that he has it from a good source in Canberra that Lomax should be careful as Madge is ( a word I can’t repeat here) and that all our players will soon get sick of the hard training and quit

Players can holiday wherever they want

Doesn’t matter if they are rich or not they should be able to go to Bali and enjoy their well deserved break

I know some players bring on the crap themselves but by the sounds of it NAS didn’t ask for what happened

If that’s the case than good on him for sticking up for a teammate

As for the hiding the players are copping for going to Bali you actually should holiday there before commenting

I made that mistake myself

I always swore I would never go to a place like Bali

Than one day a friend talked me into taking the family for a holiday

I’ve been twice and what an amazing place for families it was

Absolutely blew me away

Everyone in the family absolutely loved each and every minute of every day

So many things to do and great places to eat

Don’t know if I will ever go again as there are so many places I want to see but wouldn’t say no if that’s where travelling companions want to go

If the players are choosing a place like Bali Than good on them

An easy place where everyone can go not just the big names on big bucks and enjoy a relaxing beer meal swim shop and whatever else they want

Bali? mmm thanks but no thanks…reminds me of Niseko Japan. Filled with kiwis and aussies. So many better places in SE Asia like Kota Kinabalu; Boracay; colombo (had our honey moon there); Penang etc But hey, they’re footy players what do you expect?

So you’ve been there?

And surely people can do what they want and not want you think they should do without comments like ‘but hey they’re footy players what do you expect?’

Yup I have. Dad’s a retired pilot for Qantas. used to fly on the jump seat a lot and code share with a lot of Asian airlines around the asia pacific esp around the Malacca straits.

Sure they can keep going to bali all they want lol just to me it doesn’t show much thought about travel…

Cool that wouldve been awesome

My whole point on NRL players going to Bali though is just for a cheap fun relaxing get together that all the boys could go on that’s not too far from home

I’m sure the players that have more adventurous ideas and plans do it in smaller numbers or with family or friends

Interesting to note that Madge has left Esan out of the Kiwis test and 9s squad too.

Wasn’t he having off season surgery on ankle injury?

Marsters gone, who is coming
https://www.weststigers.com.au/news/2019/10/10/esan-marsters-to-depart-wests-tigers/
Wests Tigers have today confirmed that Esan Marsters will depart the club ahead of the 2020 NRL season.
Marsters has been released from the final year of his playing contract with Wests Tigers to take up a long-term opportunity with another NRL club.
The 23-year-old made his first-grade debut for Wests Tigers in Round 13 of the 2017 season and has gone on to play 61 games for the club since, scoring 17 tries.
Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe thanked Marsters for his commitment to the club and wished him well in the future.

“On behalf of everyone at the club, I’d like to thank Esan for his contribution to Wests Tigers,” Pascoe said.
“We were able to give Esan his first-grade debut several years ago and it’s been pleasing to see him grow and contribute in numerous ways since then.
“This new long-term deal is a great opportunity for him and we wish both he and his partner Isabelle all the best in the future.”

My money is on either Cronulla being unable to fit Jesse Remien into their 2020 squad or/and Lomax from the Dragons?

Would rather Lomax

Ramien by the sounds of it will run back to sharks 1st chance he gets

Joining Cowboys (NRL.com)

Glad IC didn’t get him

Sounds like quite a few members aren’t renewing.

For the first time in 7 years I seriously considered NOT renewing my 3 gold memberships - have become somewhat disillusioned with the Game and our club… in the end I renewed…but only just…things need to turn around in 2020…

I still haven’t renewed…I might just give them one more year to pull up their socks (mind you I have been saying that for several years now)

Same feeling at this stage

Just happily renewed for the 2020 season…Im backing Madge to fix the mess we find ourselves in.

I’m going to renew as well

As others have stated I’m frustrated with the NRL and our club as well with certain things

But I like Madge and believe we should give him a chance to get his roster together before deserting ship

Like I said it is frustrating

Very frustrating actually

Problem is the IC and Matto dramas weren’t our fault but we seem to be always rebuilding and chasing our tails because of all this crap

Hopefully with Madge in control things will quickly turn for the better

He is already doing a great job

When you consider Reynolds Matulino Packer McQueen hardly played this year that’s over 2mil of the cap sitting on the sidelines

Pretty good year considering

@Tigerlily said in Signing Suggestions & Rumours:

How do people feel about Jackson Hastings? A good aggressive player with some mongrel ( which we need) has just won Super Leagues Man of Steele…Could be just the mix we need in the halves with Brooksie.

Madge would probably be good for him

And yes he is aggressive

Would be great beside Brooks or at hooker

@Sausagesorcerer there was a Tigers SG ball player playing in the KO. McLachlan I think his name was?
Commentators had massive wraps on him

What’s KO?

Koori Knockout maybe…

Yeah the koori knock out
