Karma for trying to sign JAC and other players who are under contract
I'm absolutely stunned that you, of all people, mention the word Karma.
Karma is your wooden spoon collecting bunch of pea-hearts skiing collectively downhill . . . . listening to the likes of you blabbing about how good they are . . . then falling in a heap when the teensiest bit of pressure was applied to them. Did you notice how Moses and Flatterson both were totally MIA during the big games ? Ask yourself why, you muppet.
2 weeks into the semi's and they're gone. Pawwa couldn't have done it any quicker than that if they tried.
Record time. Well done.

Lee Hagipantelis made the lawn mowing comment on radio yesterday. Dude is a principal of a pretty large law firm and they dabble in employment law, so I am sure if it is something that shouldn't have been said, he wouldn't have said it.

Incidents like this make me question the Wests Tigers' viability.

No one wants to play for them or even take up the role of coach.

The club would become far richer, get more games on Ch9 and attract better players if they relocated to Brisbane, with Easts Tigers buying their licence and running them out of Coorparoo as the Brisbane Tigers. Make QEII Stadium at Nathan their home after it's upgraded to a rectangular field with a capacity of 40,000.

Or you could demote the club to NSW cup and promote Redcliffe Dolphins

Thats worse than the 2020 Queensland squad from Game 3.

Good on them for trying but its obvious the Tigers have much deeper issues. Production line of talent walking out of the club. That doesn't stop because some guy from the board wants to go to war with players in the press.

Holding onto players who don't give a shit about your club isn't a winning strategy.

Serious question. Did you genuinely believe JAC was going to be as good as he is?

And would he have been as good if he stayed in the Tigers system?
His speed is what makes him a good player. It’s like Marshall in his hey day, not so much the brain but speed.

Though what irks me is that we get the flack for letting JAC go but we did buy him from Cronulla first.

Tigers should just say if Manly want him now they have to pay a transfer fee like the esl clubs do.

And if Aloiai keeps acting like a spoiled child just fine him a week's wages. I'm sure there will be a few tigers lining up to scramble his brain when they eventually lineup against him

I suspect Aloiai will live to regret that meme. It's a pretty foolish move to mock the chairman (who is a respected lawyer) while trying to negotiate a release from a binding contract. That meme will cost him any chance of an early release without serious compensation to the club.

I saw him as having potential but I did not think he was going to be as good as he is today.

If he stayed, I'd say there would be no chance of us developing him to what he is today. Melbourne is a fantastic development club.

It’s a side that could comfortably make the 8, and you could add players like Papenhuyzen to the list as well. It’s not so much that these players are leaving but more how easily we let them walk out the door.

we had that team and the best we came was 9th

1) I did

I said he’d be an origin player within 2 years of being under Bellamy

2) probably not, but who’s to know. Despite what channel 9 have you believe, Teddy was just as good at Wests as he is at the roosters. Ryan Matterson went from being one of the beat back rowers in the game at our club to a run of the mill average one after leaving
