Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Madden played one good trial. I’m not saying he won’t kick on but I wouldn’t be offering crazy money for him. We may recall Luke Brooks having an outstanding NRL debut.

Rua I like and I’d be looking to get him on a sensible deal that reflects his current status.

I‘d like to keep Madden at the club , he could develop to NRL level but we only saw him for 15 mins at the end when mostly reserve graders were on. He’d have to be killing it in State cup to jump Hastings, Brooks, Doueihi in the halves.

Same. He came on late when it was mostly Roosters reserve graders on.

Didn't he play the 2nd half against Manly?

I hear Nikora is pretty much over the line. Supposedly another Sydney team made a move and we’re told he’s going to the Tigers.

3 Year 1.65million dollar contract on the table from the club. Best offer he has in front of him. Club quietly confident.
Pele awaiting for all offers before making decision.
4 other clubs on his tail

Yep. Sorry (almost wiped the game from my memory) Looked better against Easts

Cheers yoss. Would be a solid signing

He was tidy then but yeah I know what you’re saying, Hastings and Brooks needed the game time to work on their combo I see both sides.

I was very impressed with Hastings a very matured game he played.

If you look at the stats on NRL website, by memory Jackson passed the ball way more times then Brooks. But Brooks kicked the ball way more then Jackson.

Jackson obviously picked up a nice try assist. Brooks running game was more on point.

I like how Jackson really plays a chess game with his footy, always scheming and like how he will fake a kick on the last then passed it to red for the try.

For someone who has not been in the nrl and issues he had in the NRL it really is chalk and cheese.

His the type of player, if he keeps playing like that, that when he asks for the ball he gets it.

There's only so much more I can take

Nikora and Paps as a backrow combo would be elite

 

[TigerLouis]

If we get Nikora we will have an awesome starting forward pack for 2023
Peachey
Papali’i
Nikora
Twal
Koroisau
Stefano

Hopefully he goes for it. $550K per season seems right

What’s the go with Tuilagi? @THE_POM

Have we made a good $$$ offer to Pele? Any confidence in getting him?

Do you know what kind of offer we have made to Pele on our end?

 

[Tigers_Wests]

Probably the money we would have offered Luciano

You called it a while ago @THE_POM. I think you also mentioned we were keen to speak with Farnworth. Any developments?

 

[THE_POM]

Described a fair offer for his limited experience & potential. Won’t budge much on the offer. If other clubs come in big then no chance.

@THE_POM Anything on Rua Ngatikaura?

Ship sailed on Farnworth, will remain in QLD wether it be Dolphins or Broncos.

@THE_POM Anything on Rua Ngatikaura?

Club is currently in discussion with his management, unless someone else is moved on he will be on a development deal for 2022 with a chance to be in top 30 for 2023.

 

[Tigerwould]

He’s going to Manly.

Shame. He seems very willing to run hard. Something we have lacked on the edge
