Rumours (signings, sackings & other stuff)

Wighton lethal at 6

 

Isn’t he at Penrith next year?

 

This not picking a back on the bench is the biggest look how smart I am after the event ever. Very few teams carry a back on the bench these days. You are far more likely to have a need for another forward than a fullback. If Freddy picks paps and Cook gets hurt do we bag him for not picking a hooker on the bench.
If you are going to pick backs on the bench at least pick a Chris Lawrence style players that can cover in your pack too.
But all these people who are saying pick Paps, where were you before game 1 and 2 ???

 

Haha thats right. Rhyno have a break, Port Panther is here.

 

Jimmy for next year, Laurie for next and Joey O has spoken to the club. Been good in the past despite a shit 2020 (had plenty of mates at the Donkeys.)

 

Hmm never been a huge Joe O fan. Very different player to Aloiai, more of a solid prop. However he’s played 105 NRL games, 2 origins, only 25 and Brisbane will be paying a decent amount of his wage.

One thing I do like about ANY new signing is that they are coming here knowing Madge’s reputation, so aren’t afraid of hard work. Look at what it did to a guy like Luciano this year. Proof is right there for those who put in.

 

Joey O apparently following the Tigers and Mybe etc on insta and no longer following the Broncos.
It aint official till it's insta official

 

Is turning into a great week

 

That's what AFB did with us and a week later he was announced.

Job of a journo these days is monitoring likes and follows on insta. Probably explains why they are all so shit at actual journalism.

 

your not happy so he must be ok...good ...u and Alice suit each other both haven't a clue how to be interesting so u resort to rubbish

 

Still vacancies in key positions. I’d say Hartigan/Madge are not looking for quick fixes.

We will screw Manly over as hard as we can and watch the coffers overflow.

The best is yet to come, a wave of marquee flooding onto the market. The player managers should be studying this closely.

In the meantime, the death count under Madge stands at about 18 players in 2 seasons.

Another thing we miss is that our Ex rooster footy manager inherited a complete mess. He got a grand final winning squad together, so he’s not exactly a novice.... but it takes a good couple of years for a clean up.

I think we are 2/3rds in that process atm.

Because of the cap disability, I’m thinking destination tigers takes off in 22 for a top 4 finish about 23 or 24. Adding another season for comfort.

 

Hearing rumours that we are making a play for Ofahengaue. Not sure if it is part of orchestration from Manly for us to release Aloai or we are just going after him regardless, but either way I reckon he's quality...type of player that will excel under Madge.

If true, we should offer him $1 more than what we were prepared to pay Aloai haha

 

Wow did a tigers supporter shit in your cereal or something? Grow up

It's ok you guys got Robert Jennings

 

Funnily enough Joe O started following Wests Tigers on Instagram....

Rug pulled from underneath Benji Marshall

 

In reality who wants him apart from some salty Wests tigers fans who don’t know any better

 

I think Aloiai is a better than Joe O so we definitely shouldn't offer him more than Aloiai.

 

The same extra hungry Hyenas are circling looking for a smelly maggots infested meal ...

 

Recruiting Robert Jennings is more of a risk than recruiting James Roberts~The price would be the same and Jennings would be watching from the sideline more often even if Roberts relapses... ....The difference is Roberts is a click off being the fastest player on the planet and if there’s a try to be had it’d be taken in a heart beat..And I love watching him run, much more than JAC
He just needs to lay off the Grog
