Rumours and Stuff

How good is listening to Bernie talking on behalf of the club. Refreshing.

he's naturally a good talker and has a lot of experience.....
but something doesn't sit right with me with the burn

[Soren Lorenson]

And his Dad too?

 

[Gronk]

I didn't know that Milf was even on the market, but yet it seems he is unattached for 2018.

Kodi Nikorima and Jack Bird halves combo for Broncs next year. It wouldn't be the worst result for them especially if they have to pay a fortune* for Milf.

*Brisbane dollars $AUB

most assume he's just going to re-sign because of his family.....but the negotiations have dragged on for some time now. and NORMALLY you re-sign your roster top down.

What might that be and what might you be basing this on?

i dunno...instinct.

i get a slight impression a club ceo role is a little beneath him and making an impact on rugby league in the west on a grander scale is what his motives really are. i wouldn't be surprised if he moved on fairly quickly

No one has been able to the fix the eels for a while, if he turns the eels into the "powerhouse", he makes an impact in the west and pretty much writes his next job in league !!

Big opportunity for him

Wests Tigers are pleased to announce the signing of promising young forward Alex Twal for the next three seasons.

The new deal will see the powerhouse 20-year-old join Wests Tigers until at least the end of the 2020 season.

A junior representative standout, Twal has already featured for the Junior Kangaroos and NSW U/20s in his career, and was named in the 2016 Holden Cup Team of the Year after a superb season with Parramatta.

The Parramatta City Titans junior has spent the last two seasons as part of the Eels’ extended first-grade squad, with his strength and strong work rate adding further depth to Wests Tigers forward pack next season.

Wests Tigers Head Coach Ivan Cleary said he looked forward to working with Twal in 2018 and unlocking the full potential of his game.

“Alex has experienced great success as a junior and is a player of true potential,” said Cleary. “We look forward to Alex being a strong part of the future here at Wests Tigers."

Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe said the signing was positive for the club.

“Alex is a talented young man and we look forward to welcoming him to the club,” said Pascoe. “He joins at a time when he can make an impact on the club and take his game to the next level.”

Twal will join Wests Tigers for the start of pre-season training in late 2017.

wouldn't it benefit them to take him this season in a midseason swap!?

 

[Bazal]

Whoa....that's unexpected.

 

[TheRam]

Nah!! Just further proof how piss weak and pathetic the NRL are.

3rd driving offence gets you a week yet Norman and Pearce get 8 weeks.

Can-Braaaaaaaaaaah are flavour of the month and get supported accordingly.

Of course they are. They are absolutely useless. Have done virtually nothing for the game since taking over the game around 5 years ago. But Canberra did exactly what they could get away with and looked after their own interests first. Well played Canberra. NRL 0.

Yeah I heard it too. On Triple M. From Supergrass

Good move by both. He could come back and bite us but ATM he's down the depth chart a bit. He definitely gets more of a shot over there. Especially with Woods & Seeyoumanorareyoufunguy moving on

Fair enough. We're not short of that style of forward, and he has to put some weight on to be an NRL player in the middle.

 

[Glenneel]

The Bulldogs used to call them pokies.

Seaweed called them jumpers, did the same at Parra apparently. Wonder who taught him that?

next josh aloia...we're getting them back for santi

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Whoa....that's unexpected.

Is it really? Our best backups are all off contract, and likely to find better opportunities with weaker clubs.

Bit of a shame, but from the sounds of it he was still a year or two away from being ready for first grade.

And considering some of the talent coming through the ranks he's hardly a huge loss.

Good luck to him.
