Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If this is true, we are in much worse position than I thought. Wasn't Luciana a vocal supporter of Madge and one of the reasons Madge was kept??? My God, if he, as one of our better players, wants to bail early, the Eels will put 50 on us on Monday.

I read it as the Cowboys are trying to get him up there...
Because we're not going so well - They're trying to strike.

13. Taumalolo
12. Seefarts/Offa
11. Papali’i

Twal into prop rotation. Mikaele/Tamou gone.

I’d seriously consider looking at D. Klemmer

 

[boonboon]

Why not release Luch now and Tuilagi to be honest. We arent making the finals in 2022 so release them now and use the cash to front pay blokes we are keeping or even pay more of Luke Brooks's 2023 deal so we have more cap available next year

 

[cktiger]

He didn't give us a chance....
We signed Papalii, He signed there.

Wrong… they offered a lot more than us.
Unlike his brother he loves Madge and loves it here.
He is moving only because of the extra money- got his family to look after.

 

[Fish88]

There's no way we'd be letting him go for nothing. Think a Taumololo swap would be the only way he leaves early.

And Pascoe is irrelevant, this is Sheens' job. Why do people keep asking where Pascoe is?!

I’d be for the release if we get someone that will improve us for 23. This season is a write off and luch isn’t here next year. Could be an opportunity for us.

Let go off Luch (soften the blow)

Hold onto Tuilagi?

 

[TieDye]

Payten into assistant/caretaker role for 2023.

COWBOYS MOVE TO LAND LEILUA EARLY

The North Queensland Cowboys have attempted to capitalise on the Wests Tigers’s dysfunction by requesting an early release for Luciano Leilua.

Leilua signed a three-year, $2 million deal with the Cowboys for 2023.

According to the Courier Mail, the Cowboys reached out to the Tigers to see if they would let Leilua head north early but the request was knocked back.

It’s not the first time the Cowboys have attempted to secure Leilua ahead of time.

The Townsville club was prepared to take him a year early, bumping the deal up to $2.8 million over four years only for the Tigers to block the move.

It's funny how most of the forum gets taken over by rumour, innuendo and BS. Facts are rare. It's almost like reading a DT article sometimes. Very light on facts but heavy of the throwing of darts.

I would have told them "if we get Papalii early, you can have Luciano early".

Opprtunism by NQ I'm guessing.

Opportunity to hit an opponent team while its down

I’d honestly prefer papalli to stay at parra this year get more developed under his belt in a great system then come to us a better player

Yeah, Sona Tauma lolol

There are no 'available' Cowboys backrowers of note who would bring the same impact that Leilua has.

One player at the Cowboys who has been stuffed around a bit with potential to be anything is Daejarn Asi. If the club could arrange a player swap deal and get Benji to mentor him it could work out well.

I took it (the comment) as a suggestion to that's what our response should be, seeing as Cowboys weren't taking us serious with our demands.
They were unwilling to atleast give us like for like - offering Robson in exchange - meanwhile re-signing both Nanai and Luki despite our requests for either.
