Papali’i will renege. I can’t see him committing to you guys. We should offer you Nathan Brown and Simonsson as compensation but you will probably want someone like Waqa Blake.

The Moses story is bullshit.

Lol this isn't like DCE ten years ago. You can't just renege on a contract months after you've signed because you have a change of heart. He can honour his deal or go to hell.

Gotta agree with you on Moses. I think there are members of our board who are doing way to many lines ( or drinking too much Grange ) behind closed doors. We could offer Moses $1.5m a year and he wouldn't stop to think about it. Definitely won't happen.

We will make grand statements that Papali'i will still come based on a nice new training facility but really? How does that outweigh having a coach who had a poor success rate before retiring followed up by 2 or 3 coaches (at the same time) who are not experienced or qualified for such a massive task.

Garner will be a huge loss for us. Luciano Leilua is a big loss. I'm thinking we might lose a couple more before next season. Can't see any major signings on the horizon. I would love to be proved wrong.

Apparently he has it in his contract who the two assistant coaches will be who now look like they will be replaced

Going on how successful it was to have 5 captains maybe we will have 5 assistant coaches next year then he will have to stay because Wests Tigers will never let anyone break a contract.

You are like the rest of us in that none of us have any idea how this will play out. Hoping it’s so, doesn’t count.

Yea but you’ve come over here specifically to aggravate so the spotlights on you to look silly not me. As other Parra supporters do and regularly look silly
Not as silly as your basket case of a club. Mate I don’t think it’s good for the game for you guys to be this bad but I’m thinking strategically, Ice is thinking about his career. He knows it’s at risk by going to your club and he knows he made a mistake. What you need to do is convince him otherwise or release him and seek something in return from Parramatta.

Either these stories are all completely made up bullshit or there are serious leaks at the Wests Tigers. If it is indeed the latter, then the fact that we haven't been able to plug them up would indicate they are coming from the WT board.

I'm starting to think Wests Tigers lack of success is intentional given how much media buzz we constantly create.

What's actually so great about anyone being at your club? ....you never win anything besides semi regular spoons and get spat out of the finals on your arse when you do make it...there's nothing happening there besides the same amount of frustration as at half a dozen other clubs

Wests tigers are a basket case. They cheat the cap and win a wooden spoon.

Oh wait... 😂😂😂😂

We just need to do what your club did and go from a woeful , embarrassing piece of shit club with multiple failures and wooden spoons, to at least making up the numbers in semi's and giving their long suffering ( 30+ years ) fans some faint hope of winning a comp. Only to be heartbroken in September by yet another failure.
All that, except we don't have any wooden spoons.

Rumor is Jared Hayne is going to coach and play for the tigers on a 50 million dollar, five year deal. He’s promised himself the fullback roll so he can single handedly carry the Tigers to a loss in the grand final.

You guys are going exactly through what we went through however we only got to stage 3 whilst you are at the terminal stage with a last ditch clinical trial.

Good luck.

No way that could be the case. That's unheard of. I-Pap is simply spitting the dummy and we really need to kick our heels in (for the first time in recent memory). Honour your contract or face deregistration.

I agree with other sentiments about the board though. They must be leaking stories to merkins like Kent from the daily Anti-Wests Tigers show on Fox. Sack them all, filthy traitors!
