Apparently he also met with Paul Green if that helps.




I think it was time to get him off our books. What went wrong ? probably lots of small things. I was genuinely surprised last time when he re-signed. It will be fascinating what the next 12 hours bring. If he isn't signed tonight after the game the cows have got him.

Wonder if cowboys signed DWZ after Storm played hardball for Drinkwater.

I’m hoping it was just a straight release and he’s completely off our books, if we’re chipping in at all we’re stupid.
100%. would be stupid if we're paying him a cent beyond todays date or taking a player in return to make it happen.... unless we traded for a player that strengthens our top17.

Dallin is the one who wanted out. Don't care why. The moment he decided that we needed to play hardball and either get rid of him off our cap completely, or get a player that makes us better in return.

On what was released so far... it seems as though he's released with no strings attached. Which as the club said is in our best interest and his. He might lose some money in the immediate future. But he will make it up beyond ghis season. I really hope Cowboys got him... so Tigers can get f**ked.

Well the Cows fullback is injured long term and we all saw what happened with Drinkwater. They'd have to be favourites.

Well said. Western weekender reporter when this first broke thought the cows were a chance of getting him.

If Dallin is off the books, and we also move Maloney on at the end of the season, we must have some cap space to sign someone decent.

What would be our main priority?

I'd like to get a pacy winger if possible, maybe Scott Drinkwater for fullback and also possibly a Hooker.

TV commentator Voss saying Mybe playing centre tonight, so it appears DWZ to fullback at W/T. So dear reader if you throw a enough temper tantrum do you get what you want in life ?

I think the Cowboys would have been the best option for DWZ where opportunities to play his favoured position may be greater but I think he has almost certainly signed with the West Tigers. All the best Dallin.

If he’s off the books completely which he should be who cares if he got what he wants, it’s a bigger win for us. All that cap space and we already have To’o playing better than Dallin has all year for what I’m assuming would be a hell of a lot cheaper than Dallin.

Out of respect I think the reason it was announced as a release is because the player we are rumoured to be getting plays his last game for the Tigers in a few hours.

All I can say is don’t rush. Wait and see how our current fb and hookers go and see who becomes available in the off-season.

Drinkwater would be nice tho.

Watch for a late withdrawal from the tigers team, if we are swapping I don't think they'd let him play tonight. Let's say he got a serious injury, that could scupper the whole deal.
