News Siosiua Taukeiaho will NOT be at the Bulldogs in 2024. He has not been released by Catalans and he failed a medical

[Nate DAWG]

It’s more to do that it was foreseeable
BUT
I understand Gus taking the risk
Just seems sloppy

I’m just hoping that there is someone else lined up to replace him.

'He is big and strong': Wests Tigers sign powerhouse Fijian prop Gordon Whippy

The Wests Tigers have signed a powerhouse Fijian prop who made his Test debut in the recent Pacific Championships.

Gordon Whippy, 21, is expected to start on a development contract but could move up to NRL level after his impressive performance when given his chance at the elite level by Fiji.

Whippy is a superb natural athlete, having represented Fiji in both swimming and athletics before deciding to concentrate his efforts in rugby league.

He will probably end up with us soon. Tigers will probably let him go after a year.

 

[King Gus]

U got me all wrong bro. I watch every minute. Im tired of going through the pain. Ive seen enough, we need change

Need a change it’s only been two years .

 

[King Gus]

Nope.
Everything is perfect.
You’re 100% right.

Didn’t say it’s perfect but we are not in crisis like you and team clown make it out to be.
2024 hasn’t kicked off and it’s written off by the clown crew.

 

[Polly Power]

Need a change it’s only been two years .

It's been getting progressively worse.

 

[King Gus]

It's been getting progressively worse.

Worse in what way exactly?
Barrett was here before Gus.
Then Gus put CC as coach yes we had a shit year, But that’s no reason to sack the board and Gus.
You know but won’t admit that only a couple of years ago we couldn’t attract players salary cap was always stretched on shit players .
2024 team looks 10x better than 2020 team .
At least give 2024 a chance before having a crisis’ meltdown.

People were hammering the decision to sign TKO.. He fails a medical, the club backs out once they know the full extent of his injuries and the issues with Catalans getting a release, and the people that never wanted him are still upset somehow..

But if Gus stubbornly went ahead and signed TKO and he struggled with injuries which wastes cap space and a roster spot, they'd hammer the club about that.. So it really is lose/lose.. We tried to sign someone, we backed out because he was too much of a risk. Move on. No harm done..

100%, but they will never admit that only want to have another dig at the club.

 

[speedy2460]

Imagine being Ciro with your coaching future on the line and you have the worst prop rotation in the NRL era. We will get fkn destroyed by all and guaranteed wooden spoon unless Gus pulls a middle out of his ass

Agree that there is a desperate needs for two accomplished prop forwards.
Totally disagree that CC's job is on the line. He has done OK coaching the rabble he had under his control.
Pleased that some of the rabble has been passed on.

Yet the same hypocrites have called me and a few others out for criticising the refs and will defend their game costing mistakes.

Fox and Magic Burton were both signed to the club before Gus arrived. The first signing Gus made was TPJ.

We signed Allan when he was a current origin player. We signed Cotric when he was a current International. Both signed long before Gus.

Kikau, Crichton and Mahoney all signed since Gus. Has Mahoney been an upgrade and downgrade from JMK?

JMK is rubbish bro don’t give me that he is better argument.
If you think Mahoney was terrible in our team imagine what would’ve happened to JMK.
JMK couldn’t play a full season with the flippers.
Did watch JMK pass when playing for us ?80% of the time he chose the wrong play and passed to the wrong player.
He never passed off the ground making the player getting the ball hard to make meters.
Mahoney is the better player.
But his had to tackle his heart out with no support.

These same people hammering the decision to sign TKO will be the same people complaining when Poasa Faamausili is our starting prop

You go on about JMK getting injured. He still delivered more in the games he played.

So going on about injuries. Is Kikau a flop and failure?

I just gave you how many reasons and you picked injury. Do you think JMK would’ve lasted the whole season if he was still playing for us?
I was making the point that if JMK was here and making as much tackles as Mahoney he would’ve been injured after a couple of games.

 

[B-Train]

I understood people being apprehensive about TKO because of his injuries and what he'd cost. But I don't understand being critical after we back out of the deal.

Whatever the case our prop rotation looks horrible for next year and we need to sign another middle or two before the season starts. The problem is, very few good props have become available, which is why they were looking at TKO in the first place..
