    Signing suggestion - Denny Solomona Kiwi, Formerly with the Melb Storm. Went to ESL and killed it for Castleford Converted to Union and ended up playing for England and was a star in their local comp Recently packed up mid contract and returned to NZ. No word on where he is playing next...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    You are right in principal but in practice enforcing the ban against Moses is extremely difficult to enforce. If you accessed Moses phone records then I would bet my last dollar he is calling players daily. If the NRL pressed him on that he can just say "I was calling player X about a golf...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    For anyone interested in the two Cowboys forwards that we asked for in exchange for LL Luki - managed by Isaac Moses (as per Cove Agency instagram) Nanai - managed by Sam Ayoub (as per Ultra Management website) If one of them does come down in exchange for LL you would think Nanai is the more...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Might be down to 29 soon? This is from facebook. The poster has a connection to Sam Ayoub i think. he posts quite often regarding his clients Can someone explain why WT would be chasing Thompson? We are very well stocked up front? We need an edge back rower with experience, especially if...

    Squad 2022

    Thanks for sharing. Good read. Hard not to get excited but we'll probably work out where stand after an NRL trial or two. I know the club officials have said he will need a year or so in reggies to develop however there are some exceptions to this. Will Pensini played the finals at right...

    Two of the players rumoured to be part of the player Swap are Luki and Nanai https://www.nrl.com/watch/matches/telstra-premiership/2021/round-24/full-match-replay-dragons-v-cowboys---round-24-2021/ Watch the first 10 mins after half time to get an idea around their talents. Luki much more size...

    Random Tigers articles from the media

    The outside back signing should be higher priority than Hodgson. There honestly has to be someone out there of higher quality than James Roberts

    Squad 2022

    I still hope there is someone better out there. I think the club hopes for that as well What is Logen Dillon's contract status? Is he on a reggies contract so he can play NRL after round 16 or something? Id ahve thought he was development contract worthy?

    Squad 2022

    Good post on many fronts. Personally I hope we stay away from Hodgson. 32 with bad knees - just too much of a risk. Also it seems that Brooks was never leaving with talk now moving on to Scott drinkwater being wanted at newcastle. Kind of weird that the story has just died out? I watched a...

    He's above average Thompson but his judiciary record is absolutely terrible. Signing him would be a huge risk for this reason in my view

    Luke Brooks

    https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/stick-a-fork-in-mitchell-pearce-he-s-done-20211025-p592wo.html I could see us ending up Kyle Flanagan after all this. It would be so typical of WT. The best outcome for Isaac Moses is that Brooks (his player) goes to newcastle. Moses always wants his players...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    i think if Pearce departs Newcastle then I can see Brooks being pushed up there - Adam O'brien and Brooks are both managed by Isaac Moses; - Pearce has known about Catalans for some time as have the Knights. It was first rumoured back in August Another Moses client (and former Knights...

    Handy update thanks. https://www.sen.com.au/programs/breakfast-with-vossy/ Michelle Bishop was on SEN this morning reporting on the Starling incident and put the boot into to the Tigers re Hodgson. it's worth a listen. She rips in saying effectively 'Tigers were too slow re Hodgson move and...

A 32 year old off two new reconstructions. What is going on? We've invested time, money and effort into Liddle and Simpkin. What...

    Season 2022

    Its $1.5 mill on 4 players and if you believe the media we're about to give $400k of that to Tyrone Peachey. That leaves $1.1mill between 3 players. The outside backs are a glaring issue as far as I am concerned. You could argue that 3 of our contracted Top 30 outside backs are not NRL...

    First structural change - Shane Millard gone

    I don't know what coaching credentials Millard has but I am pleased to see the back of him. Ive never seen a professional NRL team stand as flat in attack as WT this season. Alex Twal was overrunning the dummy half on every hit up. There seemed to be no plan or strategy to anything we...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    I saw this also. Flanagan is not a good option in my opinion. He's outwardly stated he wants a head coaching job. He's not going to be too motivated to see the WT do well while he occupies an assistant role. That alone would be a huge distraction for Madge. Also Flanagan's communication...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Really good assessment here. Twal & Joffa cannot pass. We named Mikaele at 13 in a couple of games also and he cannot catch or pass! Compare WT to Manly last week. They had Jake Turbo passing out the back from first receiver. Then they brought on Dylan Walker to play the same role and he was...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    I personally think that Doueihi's second ACL is only going to accelerate his move to lock. He's best utilised close to the ruck and most of the NRL finalists this season had ball players in the No. 13. Look at the passing games of Yeo at Penrith or Radley at Easts. Maybe we should wait and see...
