Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We need wingers

Wingers that can make some yardage and hold the ball please.

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

NRL team with reggie wingers is like being a bad ass with a ingrown toe nail a bedsheet can take you down.

I thought the claim that he’s the best bench forward in the game was more of an eyebrow raiser

He's barely an NRL player.
In reality we can only carry one of Twal or Seyfarth in our 17. If the rest of our pack were bigger and bent the line more we could maybe cover for the softies, but we can't currently

Seyfarth on the wing would be better than Twal on the wing....

We didn’t lose the game in the middle ???

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

We did. In the middle of our chest...

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

I’d love Seyfarth if he was player 18-20 in the squad and played 10ish games a year from the bench when injury strikes. Local junior, tries hard, brings some aggression from the bench and can play either middle or edge. Not his fault we don’t have depth.

We did actually. Penrith completely dominated the ruck. Made more metres, landed on their fronts and got quick play the balls, allowing them to maintain the ascendency.
We were slow amd reckless and got thoroughly dominated from the 10th min on

 

[crazycat]

It is a bit odd that he reportedly signed for less to play with the Eels and leave an outstanding coastal location. $800k a year and the coast for Parramatta?

It makes sense.

Does not want to play on wing, wants to play 5/8, fullback or Center.
^that's his manager talking folks. Wing = less money. Particularly for someone like Lomax who does not have the height.

I just find it funny that Parra has a new player type... Hard to work with guys that no one else wants to play with!

The Panthers players worrying us the most were Edwards, To’o and Martin, none of them play in the middle.

What game were you watching? Fair dinkum some of you people are total DHs.

 

[Telltails]

We contained Penrith well. The stats were fairly even except for errors. They hardly made any line breaks - 3 each - and they completed way more sets 37 - 29. We just couldn't convert when we had the opportunity and they did.

 

[The Chad]

Tupou hurt.

Does that open the door for that gun Ryde Eastwood winger?

 

[Moh]

If only there was an Origin-caliber outside back on the market we could sign....

Oh there was. Should have done a lot more (if we even did anything..) to get Lomax.

 

[Vicious]

Anyone watching the Gold Coast v Manly game would clearly see yet another example of attack we do not have based on the inability of too many players in key attacking positions.
Fullbacks who are heavily involved in their teams attack, breaking tackles, making line breaks, scoring tries.
Wingers and centres who run the ball hard, are fast enough ti make breaks, score long range tries,
Ange back rowers with good leg speed who dent the opposing defence with almost every carry.

 

[The Chad]

Speed is mostly overrated. We have the Forbes Ferrari.

Not one time have I thought how lucky we are we have his speed.

Olam, Tupou...both these guys offer more attacking strength & neither are noted 'fast guys'. They are nearly all fast enough.

Only when a player is noticeably slow, and there are really so few guys in reality at that level, is there an issue with speed.

Tigers are not beaten because of 'speed'.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

What is this Forbes Ferrari bs. We are Datsuns. You work your way to the top.

Name me current bench players who are in better form then Seyfarth and Samuela

 

[KCTiger2]

Who exactly is the great junior centres that would leave?? Makaski has not committed to the club, Large seems to want to play in the halves and his parents all ready want him out of the club. So who are they????
We have good halves, hookers and middles coming through. Who are these outstanding centres that have committed to the club that will leave!?????

I’m sure Feledy and Saukuru who are in great form in flegg and cup would love that we signed someone who is just above cup quality rather then giving them a shot
