We got stitched up by the refs tonight against a very good side. Not making excuses but it was very one sided. Souths were worse and let go in the play the ball and inside 10.
We are building a strong forward pack Aloai, Matterson, Twal, Mikalele, Liddle look impressive. They need to lock them up long term.
@Russell said in Wests Tigers Team v Souths Sydney *Official:
@Geo That’s crap Geo - at least Nofo has hard hit ups and is good in attack - Jennings isn’t good at anything (Oh! correction - he can fall over the line with no one in front of him to score).
I think Jennings is starting to play well. Very good winger but a very average center. It does show he missed the offseason fitness is only starting to show.
Mbye missing this game is a blessing in disguise. Mbye is finding form but with Reynolds kicking game we are better with Thompson at the back this week. We also need a metre eater from the backs against the big Souths pack maybe Nofa can recapture his form from late last year he was very good at stages.

@TYGA “Mbye will go to 5/8 next year” ???
Reynolds is a much better 5/8 - in fact I would say twice as good.
Did I miss something, did Madge say he was going to 5/8 and Reynolds will be shopped?
I would say this is only your opinion as my statement is mine.
I can’t see Reynolds keeping up with NRL he has been injured for almost 2 full years dating back to the Bulldogs. Mbye is not having a good run atm but you can’t have a player injured that long paid big bucks with their body failing and expect the club not to put pressure on. Great player when fit but we are now talking about 2016 before he had a great season.

Packer and ET for DWZ sounds smart. Gives us another roster spot and some Cap Space. Malakai is reportedly leaving for the Super League so Panthers can fit them in.
So it this a possibility?
Anything’s possible. Both signed and wanted to play for Cleary and we’re both at the Warriors. Cleary is trying to build his culture at Penrith and both Packer and ET are very good leaders off the field. Makes sense to me for both teams.
DWZ contract is bad and Penrith better off getting two forwards than paying a chunk for DWZ to go to the Eels. Madge is not playing Packer or ET so we offload two big contracts not being used.
Gives Tigers a chance to restrict DWZ contract long term. If this move is made I’d say Reynolds will be next as Mbye will go to 5/8 next year.

@TYGA heard there is a video doing the rounds that could end Nathan Cleary’s career
His highlight reel?
One of the best!!
@weststigerman said in Signing Suggestions & Rumours:
Interestingly I’ve read a lot of posts this week of needing more pace and size in our backs (which I agree with).
However, DWZ becomes available who has both of those attributes and no one wants him. I’d take him in a heartbeat.
It’s his contract 700k which, is the problem. I’d take him if we can offload a player ie: Packer, ET, Reynolds.

Is there any truth Penrith are making way for ET to return? Lads were talking about it at the Barber Shop today.
Never say never, but i believe they are after Danny Levi before June 30
They should be their hookers are dreadful.
@krayola said in Signing Suggestions & Rumours:
@TYGA lad what barber shop are you going to where people talk about Elijah Taylor? What other rumours did you hear at the barber? Sounds like an interesting place to get a haircut.
In the golden west today not my usual spot. Got to see a dozen Panthers home videos. My word they have problems.
