Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[Pezz70]

Agree. His energy just lifts the Panthers side. Energizer bunny.
I reckon he, Galvin and S. Fainu will be awesome next year. If Bula gets fit before preseason training then that's a bonus too
Apart from Nelson's brain farts, would you sign him for 2yrs?

He’s a unit, he needs to be fitter and more disciplined if he wants to be the leader of any pack. Maybe needs to play more minutes too

Exackery, that's what I'm thinking. He's a bit like JWH, loose canon but if we could get him at a bargain you wouldn't knock him back...would you?

In confirming Skelton's signing from the Bulldogs, the Wests Tigers announced that "further signings will be announced in the coming days" as the club continues to strengthen its depth in key positions.

Who do you reckon?

Luai is looking like a good get, he has improved out of sight this year, even his attitude seems to have been adjusted. Just hope we get a couple of boys upfront pushing us forward. I’m starting to think Luai might go close to making this team. He has a massive boot on him, and his ball playing is really good. We might come 9th next season

You are right, he’s one of the best players in the game and by his own reckoning he’s still emerging with a lot to do and accomplish.

I had a lot of time for all of the ex panthers ( except the May people) but Luai is the dux of the class.

I think he’s right to test himself without the Panther umbilical cord and his belief in us is pretty inspiring.

I still can’t believe the panthers let him go, working to their successful system, but some players you have to stick your neck out for.

Tough break for Nate tonight, he was looking strong for the finals.

Our game is brutal, takes no prisoners.

Less depth more marquee -although I’m tired of 25% of the games whole roster being wiped out by round 12.

Id love to do an injury census and try to ban or modify plays that cause most of them.

A good tackle doesn’t have to involve a near death experience. 4 players in is a joke, even 3 is lazy except in extreme cases.

Im thinking raiding the eels and a few bunnies. I still like Milne, but we need workhorse forwards.

I think we need at last someone of his caliber.

There's over a $million reasons why TSP.

Well that announcement of Skelton's signing was from the member's first email then on the WT website so when it said that further signings will be happen shortly I'm going to hold them to this.
Richo said several times that leaks will stop and members will know first with developing recruitment.
If he is true to his word then are we going hear of a signing or two this afternoon???????

Navren Willet is off to the Sea Eagles.

Its funny you say this. When we signed him Panthers fans flooded our forum saying he couldnt kick long. With Cleary out and him doing the majority of the kicking hes been fantastic. If you follow TheEyeTest on twitter this guy does an insane amount of stats, he posted just last week that statistically Luai has the second best long (over 40ms) kicking game in the comp this year. Interestingly Isiah Katoa from the Fins is first

 

[Vic Mackey]

Navren Willet is off to the Sea Eagles.

Disappointing. We must have released him as he had another 2 years here. My only hope is that we've upgraded Makaisani to take his place.

I think Willet was in the development squad wasn't he?
He's gone to the Eagles on a train and trial contract to be upgraded to nrl in 26....me think.
Makaisani is a gun alright and Richo is apparently hard at it trying to secure the Matts star. I think he's still in high school??

They should apologise to him, shop Dylan around and throw another 300 at him.

Laurie is making a splash at the back end of this year. He can move to smuggy fb.

I heard there was some controversy about us dispensing with his services back in the day. A clean and happy end of a players time with us frequently eludes us.

It’s usually a bitter bun fight and verbal fisticuffs, allegations and abuse…days of our lives…

I think Garner was one of the few who left with dignity and with a high level of esteem. Whats he up to??!

Garner is from a nice family. I chatted to his late dad, he was so proud of Luke.

Benji Marshall, with extraordinary talent and toughness to come back from injuries, led Wests Tigers to their first ever Premiership in 2005 during a 346-game career, as well as New Zealand to World Cup glory in 2008.

Well done Benji
