Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Mistymuzzle]

I don't follow other teams that closely - but I don't get the noise about Gutho (starting from last season or the one before where they were in the market for a fullback) when he is consistently amongst their better players?

I'd be pretty pissed off if I was him.

Busted knees....next year will be his last.

At his best Sivo is/was a dangerous beast. Now, not so sure. Parra despite doing it tough seem to have lost faith in the guy-not a good sign.

Sivo doesn’t seem full fit now. When we played Parra, Staines handled Sivo well and bundled him into touch. I don’t think Sivo will be as consistent in his older age.

Sivo in his last few games has virtually been hobbling as if he has a bung knee

Apparently Canberra looking at Sexton, from the Bulldogs.

Dale Finnucane to announce immediate retirement. Always thought he would struggle to see out his deal with the Sharks. A great servant of the game hope he enjoys a healthy retirement.

I remember the previous administration buckling to media pressure and making Finnucane an offer because he was the player to turn the club around.

While the club is still in the doldrums, Finnucane was not the answer to our problems. As for his retirement, there's a good chance the effects of repeated concussions will catch up on the poor guy. He deserves every dollar he earnt with the way he put his body on the line.

Even if we were looking for a halfback, I'd be wary of a guy who has been released by the titans and dogs.

Surprisingly no one has mentioned bud Sullivan in regards to raiders needing a halfback

I don’t think we’re going to get any takers mate

Yep hope he proves me wrong but my forecast isn’t good for him.

He played like it was played in the 80s

No one needs to - he has a contract with the Tigers for this season and 3 more and he may not want to go to Canberra so its pointless mentioning players who have valid contracts. There's nothing the Tigers can do if he doesn't want to go anywhere.

We don't have anything to sell - he has a contract and unless HE wants to go we can't make him.

Seems as though watching what happened with Noffa and Schuster, not having to completely payout a player is possible.

Schuster - that was a Tigers like deal if ever I’ve seen one. Plus he’s fat.

Yeah but only if the want to go - like they both did.

I would say they're looking for someone immediately to replace Fogarty. Sanders not ready yet given they already have an inexperienced 6.

He actually could have made a huge difference for us. He helped Sharks make finals. Everyone freaked out at the idea of a 4 year contract, turns out he retired once he knew he was done and the Sharks don't have to carry the contract. Win/win for Cronulla.

Gives us hope of doing something similar with Sullivan I guess.

I wish the club would include our wider top 30, development and T&T players in injury reports.

Most of us are very interested to know when the likely returns are for the Nav Willetts, Heath Masons, Tony Sukkars, Onitoni Larges of the world.

We are a development club after all so Wests Tigers, start including our youngsters in these reports please.

Email the membership team at the club and let them know your thoughts. If enough people give them the feedback maybe, just maybe, they'll produce decent content

What weve got to sell is..the next 3.5 years of playing in KOE Cup,cause thats where hes almost certain to end up.Hes about 4 or 5 in the halves rankings..
Tjhe real question is does any other club have enough confidence to BUY him at something close to what were paying him
