Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Waste of a top 30 spot. Especially if Fainu makes the same impression Galvin has, If Sezar still has something to offer, why stick around here being number 4 in the pecking order? There are other clubs who would prioritise him.

sezer would be an idiot to stay at tigers as you said when he can get a starting gig at 6 other clubs in 2025

 

[Tito Santana]

lol he isn't a 6 did ok against manly at centre

What I think of Parra and their shit team.

My point is that if we keep winning Sezer doesn’t fall to #4, others would need to outplay & oust him.

I think it’s a bit fanciful expecting Fainu to come in and match Galvin’s first year efforts, Galvin has been phenomenal but will likely plateau a bit at some point.

Galvin and Fainu are both extremely young, it won’t hurt at all to have an in form veteran halfback on the books.

Saying all that, we’re 3 games in.

Exactly. Need depth and experience. Lucky for us Brooks isn’t here.

My thought on Brooks.

Manly have come back to earth a bit, it’s setting up nicely for a battle for 9th between the gnome and the salad.

I'm just stating my opinion that I'm not a fan of luai, don't like the bloke ,not convinced he'll be a good signing he's won 3 comps most likely 4 by the time he comes here and take our retirement fund, as usual you can't have an opinion on here without personal attacks, would love to meet some of these keyboard cowards up here in taree

I respect your opinion and your preparedness to stick ya hand up against the majority. I think/hope you’re wrong.
👍🏻

Taree? Ooh…oh no. Bad areas man. Bad areas.

I’m from Forster - where the real OGs are from. Don’t come down to my bowling club. This is what we do to the out of towners.

 

[Mighty Mouse]

That will be Luai from 2025.

Luai and Sezar are very different players.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Luai and Sezar are very different players.

So Luai won’t be the leader?

 

[Ecto-1]

Think it may be a different set up next year , just a feeling I have and I think it will look like this .
5/8 faniu
1/2. Luai
Lock Galvin , he will play like yeo does for the panthers , just needs to put on 6-10 kgs , with bula at fullback and api at hooker what a spine

This is what I’ve thought our future would look like the moment we signed Luai. It would all depend on if Galvin would be happy playing Lock or pull a Doueihi and only want to play as a half.

yes 2.2 over 4 years was madness at the time of signing, and even more mad now, i think Sullivan knows he is the odd one out just ho e he im roves or we may or will have to try and move him on. It was a des erate move last year but in hindsight none of us knew how good Galvin was going to be or Jerome was going to sign.

Douhei and Toa will be leaving.

You know why…..

 

[Wiz]

I can’t remember if I read it in the press or on here, but someone said Sullivan’s deal was a 2 + 2 year deal I.e. we have an out after 2 years. Would be good if true. If anyone knows more, please elaborate.

 

[Odessa]

Well he can find one elsewhere. There won’t be a spot for him next year.

The Salad is on a reported 250K I would keep him hate to say it Off load Bud I hate saying that but he is 4 choice now

The Tigers have an option in there favour to keep the SALAD for next year just take it up to have an old head who knows how to win he can help teach the kids and be backup to Jerome


If Jerome goes down we are gone without a halfback

I reckon he’ll be signed by another club for next year. Dogs might realise they need a halfback or if Hunt does leave the Dragons they might go after him.

 

[Odessa]

Fainu

Could not be worse then Brooks but can the kid handle if for a full season

 

[Camel2281]

(I hear the Titans Calling, They're calling him again)
I have a feeling he might have an option he can trigger, Either way....
It's 1 year at best.

Sullivans contract is the issue for mine...
- And the way it's going, He won't be playing to get any runs on the board to sell him...
There's also Doueihi that will be considered you'd guess....

How it ends up, Who knows....

Douehi doesn't have a contract with us for next year and can't see that changing

Just spent Easter in Old Bar. Great part of the world

Got to say:

I was wrong about Sezer. Totally wrong.
I had thought he would turn up like many returning EPL players. Unable to cope with League, heck I actually liked him when he was here with the Titans etc.
The guy has been outstanding for us. Sure not as good a halfback as say Reynolds/mm/Cleary/DCE... But an actual halfback and a better fit then Hastings and others we have had.

I was dead set right about Justin Olam.
Man the guy is a joy to watch. $450k from Melbourne for a GUN center.
We truly needed an upgrade on our backline and Olam just fits the bill. So good to watch him play.
You see how under-appreciated Api is, giving good ball to all the players around him and so few make use of it.

Api sees Olam -> try time.

Such a difference with these two in our squad

I was wrong on Olam but not on Sezar... With Juzza I was concerned he was broken, that his body had finally copped enough from the high intensity collisions.he plays with... I thought Melb knew this too sending him to Q cup, but just before the trials I jumped on board everyone else that was positive about him though deep inside. I still had the niging doubt

So many here had written Sezar off, I like all of us had no idea how he wod go... All new recruits are a bit of a gamble but I remained positive with him, wanted to see him have a few runs at least. He's been very good for us lately and no doubt we'll have our tough periods and down time where the team, both players or one or the other all struggle and find it tough, toughest comp in the world and it's hard for these guys to remain at their best... All. We can do is support as much as possible and enjoy these good times - they've been so rare in the recent past
