Any news on signings / departures for next season?

[Shanghai Charlie]

All one year contracts. Says it all. Zero expectations.

These guys will be 2nd tier deals - hardly 'NRL elite money'.

I wasn't referring to these new signings as those on NRL elite money

 

[Tiger05]

I'm not getting excited about speculative signings. Done that too many times already and have been disappointed everytime.

Taupau. Even Ellis to a degree.

Taupau. Even Ellis to a degree.

Taupau was forced out due to the players ahead of him. He was always going to do well in first grade.

Ellis was well established in the SuperLeague. Was hardly a Mark Flanagan.

Andrew Johns made an interesting comment tonight regarding Chee-Kam. He said that he's a bit lost at Manly, they don't know whether to use him as a prop, a backrower or centre.

Maybe he is the big centre we need, he certainly has size and speed.

Chee-Kam looked ok. Better than Milone, Lulia, Hoeter.... Couldnt be worse.
Likes to promote the ball and have a go. Looked a bit of a Bryce Cartwright.

I've heard Moltzen's got a one year deal with Manly for next year. If so, good on him. Glad WT and he are parting ways. I hope he can have an injury free season to try to turn it around. He was a waste of space at WT lately but I do wish him well.

JT will coach that out of him in no time.

Not a player signing but now that Andrew Johns' time working at Manly is over surely Wests Tigers could do worse than employing him next season to work with Brooks and Moses. He constantly states how much he enjoyed his role at Manly working with the young halves.
I think he could work wonders with Brooks. JT clearly isn't capable of getting the best out of Brooks, maybe Johns is the answer. Thoughts ???

I wouldn't mind it.. Him and Matty worked with out halves in 2005.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Apparently Taylor and Andrew Johns don't get on, goes back to their playing days.

 

[The Charlatan]

Joey wouldn't sell to him?

Have you re-signed Ava yet?

 

[bubblesunlimited]

It is great news, punt Robbie and sign an array of Niff Nuffs.

Have to say I am underwhelmed. I have great difficulty in seeing these 2 even as depth players. They have struggled to make the grade elsewhere and I dont see much hope of them doing it here at WT. I hope I'm wrong and they end up world beaters but it sure looks like we continue our shopping at the bargain basement section rather than buy quality.

I have the same feeling. For next season all we have signed are some budget backrowers and some budget wingers. Can't see any of them being much more than depth. Having said that I am keen to see how Jesse Parahi goes. I think that he might surprise a few people.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

It is great news for the simple reason,

As a Club we are continually looking at improving our depth and the overall quality of our NRL squad,” Taylor said.

Surely this guy thinks that all members and supporters are as dumb as he and Go.

 

[Nuts]

Who do you all suggest we buy as depths players?? Let's just go and sign Cooper Cronk, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Corey Parker to second tier contracts and play them reserve grade. Easy fixed!!!
