I just realized, apart from Sezer we have no goalkickers in the squad??
Api's 18 from 21(85.71%) for the tigers this year was pretty handy. Who could forget that kick from the sidelines that hit the crossbar and went over.I just realized, apart from Sezer we have no goalkickers in the squad??
Completely forgot about Api. He is pretty handy at GKApi's 18 from 21(85.71%) for the tigers this year was pretty handy. Who could forget that kick from the sidelines that hit the crossbar and went over.
He believes in his goal kicking ability.
I get what your saying though...we don't have a specialist.
BUT………you gotta get em the ball, when they need it. HahahaPretty cool being an Australian right now. Well Australian Cricket Team.
If Luai played for us next year it would create a lot of competition which is a good thing unless the young fellas got the shitesters and threw a tantrum.
I've still got my heart set on Olam. Him and To'a would go alright with Tupou and Staines on their outside, Bula at the back. Mmmm
Sezer is good, he has a nice long ball to the winger, a good kicking game, so hopefully no more kicks dead in goal and he can play direct.BUT………you gotta get em the ball, when they need it. Hahaha
After 7 rounds, we were 5-2 and 2nd on the ladder. That included wins against Manly and a Souths side peppered with Burgii. If all the players stayed on the pitch the entire season, we would have easily made the 8. Now compare the line up in Round 24:
2014 NRL Telstra Premiership - Round 24 - Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs 30 def. Wests Tigers 10 - RLP

Look at that backline. FOURTH string fullback, a half playing out of position in the centres and a second rower on each wing. Brooks playing his second season and Moses shoved into the halves after spending time all over the backline.
Injuries cruelled our season more than the media did, but what really ruined us was the board failing to extend Potter and keep those players together.

Not a peep from Lee or PThe Wests Tigers push to recruit players is becoming a personal endeavour, with coach Benji Marshall holding a second face to face meeting in as many weeks.
While it emerged last week that Marshall had travelled to Melbourne to meet with Justin Olam in an attempt to ramp up contractual proceedings there, The Sydney Morning Herald are now reporting that similar meetings have taken place with Penrith Panthers five-eighth Jarome Luai.

Benji Marshall is pulling out all the stops to rebuild the Tigers.www.zerotackle.com
Looks like we may be serious?
So must Penrith, if you’re prepared to throw away one of your good ones? Typical Ivan.Tigers must have massive raps on the Halves signings if they are gunna sign Luai. Keep the faith Benji.
Don’t think Ivan is throwing away Luai. They have offered him 850k already, not sure where you are coming from. I hope Penrith retain him, but the reality is the weak clubs like the Tigers will pay massive overs for successful players .So must Penrith, if you’re prepared to throw away one of your good ones?

Agree and we will do what is best for our club, not sure what the club will offer, but I’m sure it will be better than $850k ?Don’t think Ivan is throwing away Luai.

Jack Cole or Brad Schneider will play 6 if he leaves though at a much lower price. Luai will do what is best for him and his family.
We’ll take anyone at this point. Beggars can’t be choosersHow many people have said that Luai is a grub or overrated ? Funny how people change when he is a chance of signing hey.
You're the one who came on here talking shit. The club will do what's best for the club, no one gives a f**k what you think we should do.How many people have said that Luai is a grub or overrated ? Funny how people change when he is a chance of signing hey.
No shit talking here. Anyway off to the bottom 8 for you blokes again. That’s what I think.You're the one who came on here talking shit. The club will do what's best for the club, no one gives a f**k what you think we should do.
Charlie Staines will reportedly continue his tenure at the Wests Tigers.Sky Sports Radio reporting Charlie Staines has resigned with the club this week. If so would expect to see him back at training tomorrow
