Fulton is our only official living in the real world.
Ha ha. I see square things as square...what are they seeing.
Why is it that ever since our inclusion into the NRL our squad has been made up with nothing more than KOE cup std players sprinkled with a couple of players like Api.
It's not rocket science to realise that when the Wests Tigers play any team, it's the side with the best roster that wins....hence we lose.
Since we have showed interest in Seizer I've been watching all his highlights and I must say he's got the job done against good opposition and big matches. I wouldn't mind his inclusion for a year to guide these new players.
I said earlier that a coach doesn't have to tell Api how to play. He gets the job done.
We need to recruit players like him. The best thing we've done in a long time was to get him to extend. Well done. Is that Fulton's influence?

I think it was probably money influence.

Sadly, we also know that Api has spoken highly of the Tim and Benji Axis of coaching evil.

I think it’s brainwashing mainly.

Api talks up combinations a lot, so he’d be very frustrated.

I admire his footy skills, he’s gifted even but I’d prefer he not involve himself in these serious affairs of state.

At this stage of the season
When we are all but doomed
I’m happily lubing up
For another wooden spoon

Thank you Tim and Benji
For all you’ve done for me
My life was not worth living
until we won our 3

The players improved a lot this year
In all the key league skills
dropping balls and missing tackles
Tims got them all well drilled.

The civil war is in full swing
Fulton here to snap and bite
The end of Matey is upon us
In which we all delight.

I still think it’s fun working out how Tim is going to save his sorry ass.

If he’s going into next year, there’s no point following the game, we can have a year off.

The club won’t care. It hasn’t exactly stuck it’s neck out to care about us for many years now. Especially since Lee took charge.

Women’s Rugby XV beckons.
Nice use of ode to Steve and dano in the 2nd stanza. Love a bit of radio birdman

Hope Sullivan and Sezer are announced this week

We really need to lose 3 or 4 guys off our books for next year. Would think Jake Simpkin should get a gig somewhere, Penrith should take a punt on him.

It's been oddly quiet on the Sezer front. I'll feel much better about next year once those two are locked up.

My feeling is they’ll announce both sezer and Sullivan together to give a bit more ‘wow factor.’ Unless it’s a big signing clubs seem to prefer to announce a few signings together, like Manly did with Brooks, Talau, Paulo etc

I just want them to announce they’ve signed some f**king one, it’s just drains you of hope with not knowing who is coming and can they add something to this cluster f**k of a team.

Apparently the dogs and plenty others are gushing for Luai, if we are serious, time to up the ante, make him an offer he can’t refuse.

While on his own, he won’t win us a premiership, but someone like him could let other quality players rethink that maybe we are not a shit destination to come to?

The club spin team keep dangling players about as do their managers and I’m not sure about you, but I’m conditioned to the rubbish.

I’ve highlighted to the forum too many times for comfort that at the moment, a couple of marquees or whatever is useless with the coaching and systems in complete disarray.

Another round passes by and we have virtually no interest other than whether we can keep the score “ respectable” which is under 18 points these days.

Destined to enjoy the fruits of labour of other clubs. Watch a real side, coached professionally have a go for 80 mins.

The club rebels, slithering away- moving in shadowy corridors, whispering and creeping about, that’s who we are counting on.

The insurgent writing on the toilet walls of the coe “ Tim is scrote”

Tim can’t coach anymore and Benji never has.

Until this axis of coaching evil is f**ked off we’ve had it.

What are we looking at Round 12 2024 to drag GTA in?

Piss on our backs and tell us it’s raining over the pre-season.

He’s a gun player for sure.

Im still very pleased with Fulton at the moment and also the earnest considerations amongst certain officials responsible for his presence.

I’m not against Baked Ham re-signing as a jock type reserve on the Dennis Discount.

I think a season under his belt and different but easier emergency assignments under Holbrook, might be the order of the day.

Players like Bula, hit the ground running but your Baked’s of the world need some real world experience to lift.

I like his attitude.

But Luai is a class act.

The dogs are a career killer club at the moment. Unlike us, they have no excuses.
Luai? No thx. Bloke has had some really really good luck in his short career

We’re not going for Luai

Buzz reporting we’ve signed Sullivan for 4 years pending medical on Tuesday
TWT instagram saying signed for 4 years for $2.2m

He seems a cocky live wire type player, not our short term answer but hopefully he gets mentored by a experienced bloke for a year or 2, the talk is Sezer who probably fits that bill? We can only see what happens I guess.

Absolutely no f**king way to Luai. He epitomizes everything we don't need right now. Don't get me wrong, the kid is talented as f**k. Put him next to any competent game manager and he will tear teams a new asshole. If I were him and looking to move, I would look at a team like the Knights. Strong game manager in Hastings, decent outside backs and an elite fullback to build a combination with. He would add huge value there, but at the Tigers he will just get frustrated and carry on.

Heard we signed Sullivan and Sezer. Not sure how I feel about it...feels a little desperate but at the end of the day we need a halfback.

Seriously? He is no better than Daine Laurie the club walks from one bad decision to the next -

I definitely think he’s better than Laurie, has played 7 his whole life so that’s a big start. Guys dominated every grade he played in. Was player of the year and man of the match in Illawarras 2019 SG Ball winning side when a year younger then everyone else.

Still only 21 but a solid build, good defender and has plenty of cockiness about him which is good in a young half.

By no means do I think he’s going to lead us to success but he’s absolutely worth a shot imo

The problem is Nathan Cleary won’t come here, we need someone who has talent and hopefully encourage others to look at us?

If Luia was to come and got us firing, we’d all forgive his sins as being a panther brat.

I think we need to put our righteous morals in the draw, until we start becoming competitive again, tbh, I’d have Charles Manson in the team if he could get this team to perform.
