Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[jrtiger]

we're a back rower, centre, lock and potentially a front rower away from being a half decent side. Euan Aitken is probably the player we should be looking at if the Nikora ship has sailed. not much to pick from in terms of off contract centres but apparently we're looking at Daejarn Asi, who would be a similar signing to Starford. Doueihi can easily shift to the centres if Brooks can play like he did yesterday consistently as well.

I'd be taking up Joffa's mutual option and getting Blore back is like a new signing in the back row. in terms of a 13, Peach has been hopeless but I doubt we look externally. Matamua and Guyan are two players I think will be regular first graders within 2-3 years. I'd be looking to try and get Luke Thompson in as well depending on cap space.

I see Penriff are targeting Luke Garner as replacement for Viliame Kikau for next season since Kikau has signed with the Dogs for 2023. That means we lose Kelma Tuilagi, Luc Leilua and possibly Luke Garner .. ?? we'll need more than 1 back rower in Papilli coming to the club.

What about some swap situation with Penrith?

Penrith don't need to swap they supposedly want him for next year and he is off contract

he'll do very very well there. Garner's a really decent footballer that's stuck in our poor system. in a side like Penrith's he'll be very similar to what Capewell was for them last year.

will turn into another Scott sorrinson for them will do his job on all aspects of the field and will probably win a premiership with them we should be doing our best to keep him without breaking the bank

I thought Joe still had another year with us?

I think it's PO. Hope he stays. Maybe we should look at offering an extra year also.

Telegraph says Mitch Barnett has signed with Warriors from next season for 3 years

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

We have a few players that I never seen (except Diaz):
- 2nd raw: Saukuru, Trumeth, O'Kane
- prop Diaz

when will they be given a chance?

Our mate Braith didn't seem happy last night with the Storm's proposal that Munster take a pay cut. If Dolphins sign Ponga - Munster isn't going to have that many options left!!

I live in hope

If the Dolphins sign Ponga - Munster will still have about 14 Australian Clubs ready to sign him (If not 15)

When they learn to play the game.

Take out the ones that won't have the cap space and there won't be many left

Yeah he's been quite reliable, hopefully we can hang on to him for a couple more years.

Been saying it for a while we need to get our finger out
Joffa to stay sign him up on the option
extend Hastings 2 years
Tamou. 1 more year
Garner maybe another year
and start buying min 3 top graders and half doz bench players who are just behind top players at there clubs
like we did with Big Marty years ago , we don’t have the quality coming through to bleed them to first grade yet
Barnett , Bird , Farnworth
then pick the eyes out of Penrith second grade
I would also try and talk Kel into backflip and stay

Apart from Garner I think you’re on track

 

[batboy]

I'm here to tell you
- Almost every club (Maybe bar the Roosters and Panthers) will find the Cap space if Munny looks to entertain them....

Garner would be beyond stupid to not accept a deal for the riff

 

[weststigerman]

So did I but a few on here have been saying it's a mutual option

Maybe he took the option up? I'm sure this page used to show his mutual option but no longer does: https://www.weststigers.com.au/news/2021/11/08/wests-tigers-2022-nrl-squad/

Yeah that is meant to be correct, I always had him on my list until end of next year.
Hope he isn't going anywhere.

Isn't Garner a local junior.

 

[TheDaBoss]

He played juniors for manly and roosters i believe

With tumeth, o'kane and Saukuru on the rise

I dont see a spot for him next season

Add the fact in that blore will return from injury next year and if we get nikora....that leaves him out of the equation imo
