Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

No no no no

If he’s cheap than seagull chips than he’s gotta be an upgrade on flippers?
But without seeing the deal I’m with you.

A rumour I heard to-day, Damian Cook to the Dragons.

Makes sense. He's an Illawarra boy. Helensburgh

 

[Camel2281]

I'd actually like to see him stay with St. George, and I'd like to see Parra suffer for a while
I'd like to see Saints climb off the bottom of the ladder, and I'd like it for Liddle's sake, after playing for a team/club that was pretty crap for those years he was with Us.
I like going into bat for the underdog.

If Saints are to climb the ladder, it'll be because they've signed a hooker better than Liddle. He's still useless

He probably reckons he’s got Liddle’s measure more importantly. Bcoz he ain’t got the new bunnies boy coming through covered. He’s aged quicker than an I love Luke Brooks post.

A fit Schuster at 400k a year would add something off the bench in my opinion

Agree. I would be interested in a trade of Bud for Schuster & Manly pay the difference. Even as a bench forward he would offer more than our current bench options.

Schuster is talented but he's way too lazy. Not a good fit at all for Tigers. I have a feeling he would be good at Storm. Bellamy does well turning lazy players into good ones. Kasiano a good example

Schuster is a massive gamble even at a 50% discount, it would be a no for me. People are whinging about Bud on $500-50 being a bad contract and probably rightly so but to potentially add another bad contract on top of that is a risk not worth taking for a club like ours atm.

 

[Leck]

Sign him up Benji... actually he might already be signed.

I’m sure Liddle would be excited about that !

Also played Fullback in his younger days

Schuster is a hell of a better risk than Bud Sullivan

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

No need for Schuster. Offers the same profile as Matamua imo.

Manly need another quality half from the Tigers Halfback Academy do they?

Maybe he is but we already have Bud.

Schuster is a no go for Tigers. We need outside backs of top quality. Upgrade and extend Lachie Galvin, upgrade extend and remove get out clause for Uto. Upgrade and extend Pole by November. Faagutu is also off contract next year. Papalli is also off contract next year and Bateman is no lock to see out his contract.

Edge back row is a key position we may need to fill for 2026 or earlier either within or by signing free agents. I doubt Papalli and Bateman are long term options.

Not sure of our cap position but young forwards have overtaken Klemmer. We have too many halves so Sullivan is the odd man out. Douiheis contract ends this year which is big.

Looks like most of tigers work will be looking after our own players.

Do we life line Schuster if you can jag him cheap

No thanks

He wouldn't meet the new standards here I don't think

And it’s a 2005 jersey. We’re global people!

Would have to be 13, definitely not in the backs. He’s big enough but by all reports lazy,however, good ball player.

He’s also fat
