Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[Ned Kelly]

Thanks Nutz.
I was just about to make a negative post about how our new sponsors could be ever ready batteries and we could run with the slogan Wests Tigers Last Forever but I feel more positive after your post so I won't do that now.

That post was a based on a hypothetical future so to go for a truth in advertising scheme it should be

Wests Tigers Last and Last and Last.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

We can’t win a premiership while teams are scoring an average of over 30points each week. To be competitive teams need to average average <15pts against per match, to win a premiership somewhere between 12&15. Our defence is atrocious

Sign Steve Folkes.

This might be a gee up, but has anyone heard anything about this?

This guy, normally gets solid information, so I think there maybe some truth to it.
It’s probably cost us a bit, but will add some more to the war chest.

For the Balmain fans, old enough to remember.

I'm desperate for some positive news even if it is complete B.S.
Can you tell us if any names where mentioned or what the link is?

44mins in, no names from Willie

It's interesting who we will sign next season. It's also interesting hear Wille talk about Stef. Stef has a lot of potential but geez he has a lot of flaws.

It does say a lot about us as well. Benji hasn't sold the team to Stef at all and I don't think anyone can say Benji has been a good coach. I'd stick with him until his contract is out though. We can't keep swapping coaches and think everything will improve.

I think Ciraldo has done an awesome job with the Dogs but he has been given a heap of players to work with and it's only turned around this season.

 

[Vic Mackey]

By my records we have 27 guys under contract for next year, 2 still have player options (Sezer & Tumeth)

we need to clear another 3 or 4 spots minimum

Willie is a great advert for the dogs, though they are going OK, but they haven’t done anything yet.
The players he’s mentioned that has left here, didn’t do anything when they were here either imo.

What do I win hahaha

 

[Tigerm]

I am assuming the 7, Des Stapleton is Danny Stapleton’s (Balmain Tigers Chairman) father?
I knew the Spencer’s, mainly Jacks son John, who lived next door to my aunt.
I note Fred De Belin in the team, I wonder if he’s a relation of the StG player?
Anyone else help with the players.

No. Your post is all I've seen. I don't think many would object to shipping Bud off for an ESL apprenticeship for a few years to free up some cash and a spot in the Top 30.

I mentioned one of the posters on twitter gets good info, so I have hope.
But nothing being mentioned anywhere else atm.

Thanks for posting Tm.
I watched it on tv and it bonded our family. I was 12.
I remember at full-time a player doing cartwheels and handstands. A team that no-one gave a chance of beating, Souths which was full of internationals.

Tumeth is dead wood. I watched him play this year and he did nothing against poor oposition.
It would be good to squeeze him in for another run in NRL to help in move on but if he's going then he misses out I'm afraid.

Sign Steve Folkes.

Bit hard, he died a few years ago

Off-contract Tiger provides update on future
Even if he plays again and impresses, I doubt we should risk signing a rugby convert with a busted knee.
It's a shame as he came he with big raps.

He also spoke about the transition from the 15-man code to rugby league
