Makes what we paid for Grub look half decent.

Less than what we offered him per year for the record.

Woods is replaceable imo. Ted is the huge one.

Unless we replace him with Hayne

^I like that idea Laurie No Worries.

Remember when Ferguson left the sharks because he wanted to win a Premiership. Look how that turned out for him. Quietly hoping the same thing happens to the big 3 that are leaving. I don't like my chances but there's no harm in dreaming.

Exactly. I can assume they threw the cheque book at Ted, but sounds like he was maybe off anyway. We offered him 1 million apparently, is that right?

I heard Woods was offered more per year but only 3 years and Teddy also left for less but don't know numbers

Looks like woods is out of the Aus team now and possibly the nsw team.
wooooo

Offered more per year by people who don't watch and/or understand the game. Tedesco is that one player all teams want. When you are the team that actually has him you don't offer a replaceable prop more money.

I think he means Dogs/Rooster offered Woods/Tedesco more per year than Tigers did, not that the Tigers offered Woods more money than Teddy.

Ahh okay, thought it was a follow on from my previous post.

^^^ This

Tyson Gamble, the 20-year-old who debuted in the Intrust Super Cup for the Redcliffe Dolphins against the Townsville Blackhawks in round four, said he was “pretty excited” to sign with the Wests Tigers.

can't blame woods for leaving a club whose fans throw bottles at their own players...



atleast at the dogs, our fans aim for the refs!

What about Ava to the Sharks ... does this one piss Tig fans off ?

Meh. He's a workhorse model who's numbers dont quite stack up to be called a workhorse. Probably another one to excel outside the Tiger's system

Only if we don't replace him.

We were already 1 prop short, and have now list are 2 starters. Brought in Matulino but need more.

Other than Russell Packer, not sure we are linked to any props right now, but hopefully we are working on someone.

Nope Ava did it the right way,while its sad to see him go

Woods and co on the other hand, played dumb the entire time and we're going before Taylor got sacked.

Jo Ofa

Broncos

are we chasing Ofahengaue or is that just wishful thinking from fans who just want us to buy essentially anyone off contract just by making them an offer

I think that is wishful thinking, it would be nice if true, Ofa is off contract

As for Ava, he has been in our system for a few years now and seems to be consistent but not outstanding, perhaps Cleary can see that too and thinks there are better players.

Maybe JJ Felise and Masters will be promoted
