@declan I know mate I do it to myself every off-season, still think next season will be tough for us diehards but we’re heading in a good direction
@avocadoontoast would be best off season I can think of in a VERY long time.
Wests Tigers undefeated world champions of talking the talk..
Would be an interesting experiment with Foran, Hastings and Hodgson in the spine.
Not gonna happen

also reigning World 7's champions
Well done on the forum Admins!! I’m liking the setup.
I’m hoping Stef’s contract is extended soon. If the article about swapping the cheese for him is anything to go by then the Storm are obviously interested in luring him from us.
@beachtiger we’ve not had an off-season like this in … we’ll never that I can recall . Usually we get linked and end up standing there with our hands out . This is truely strange . It feels surreal .
Post 1.. Thx tonthise who make this place avalable to share my obsession for all.thungs WT.
Im on record calling for a reset of the culture of our club and who is worthy to play for us.
I like the way we are recruiting selectively.
@spartan117 welcome and good point about selective recruitment. Looks like Sheens has taken a look over the 2021 team and seen the weaknesses (centre, prop, second row and hooker?) and got to work.

Some guy in Melbourne is offering up the Wests Tigers Brandon Smith in a swap deal.
What do they want in return?
Stefano Utoikamanu.
Tell him he’s dreaming.
Just read the article about this. Apparently the football manager offered us Smith. Then said we could have him if they can have Stef in return.
Now I'm going to be honest I kind of admire the audacity in offering that deal. They want rid, Smith made some unflattering comments on a pod about the storm. But still they look for a deal that probably won't make them any worse off. May even strenghten them
The 2 big signings api and papali'i are for 2023.
We've signed tapou and peachy for 2022, plus Hastings and gildart.
It would be great to get a couple other big names in for 22, early - to give the team a chance to gel over preseason
Top 8 2023

Tapou? Did we sign Marty Taupau?
No, nevermind me, I'm a goose. Junior Tupou, sorry, lol.
Hi guys, well done on the forum. What’s great is that recruits like Api and Pappali will make it much easier to bring the next 2 or 3 recruits because players will know they don’t have to carry the team all by themselves. This is the type of moment that we could actually get a Latrell or similar. When they know they will be there final piece. If we can make the 8 next year (a couple of strong signings for 2022 like Thompson/Cotric) and we may just be able to exit the cellar.
BTW how terrible have Parra managed their roster. So good to see

That’s a good point, hopefully we can land a big fish in the next year.
