Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TYGA]

There are a few players rumoured to be on the outer which would be ideal signings for the Tigers. Olam (salary cap), Crichton (contract), Tapine (coach). We need to sign a centre, edge back rower and a middle forward of quality this off-season. Along with Api, Papalli and some youth coming through the team will be vastly improved. We have some cal space to get it done.

That doesn’t even mean cutting a player, there’s any number of different ways it happens in the competition currently…

No matter how you word it cut or pushed out its still being taken out of the club

Twal won’t hang around in ressies for 2 years; we’re speaking about a timeline longer than this season, and also discounting that he’s played 3 good games this year.

If he signed elsewhere, or chose to leave, you’d have to stop taking the piss and acting like you have good oil?

Who said he’d be Reggie’s?
His our best bench player available. Just not the right frame to start. If you play with a defensive mindset you could start Twal at lock but in my opinion Joe Offa has been our best forward this year and is in the most effective position for him and our team to succeed.

“Maybe type better”? As if anybody in the know at Wests Tigers would tell poor old you what’s going on

Thompson, Tapine, Aitken

All been recently approached. Surprise surprise, @Lee Bulgin was on the money.

Luke wants marquee prop money and we already have Musgrove signed longterm, and looking to re-jig Tamou, while Joey is unhappy at Canberra. Crichton likely iffy

Move could be happening 🔜

I really hope we don't get Aiken. Watched the warriors play yesterday and prior to his KO, the bloke is terrible. He's too soft to play back row and he's too slow and unskilful for centre

Agree with this, but as stated, with quality players being targeted he must improve his game.

Musgrove, Tamou, Farts, Joffa, Pole and Stef all potential middles next year

Why is nothing being signed at this time? The Wests tigers are day dreaming?

I don’t like him at all at this club, except he does provide the kind of cover we have lost with Garner (at a lower quality IMO) for just as many dollars. Might’ve initially ramped up in hopes of mid-season transfer

 

[SeanT]

Twal is signed till 2024 no way they cut him he is too good defensively

Yeah he does enough for a bench spot. If he came on with a hard running prop the balance would be fine.

Totally agree with this for now mate

 

[Kiama 2533]

Be careful TieDye there are those on here who thinks he knows everything and will turn on you. I learnt my lesson.

Hearing Sheens is keeping a close eye on Andrew Fifita

Need both eyes as Fifita is a big unit.

 

[diedpretty]

I was told we are “close to another good signing” of a player who isn’t happy at their current club. Was told this last Wednesday. The information is 100% because it’s straight from the source but he didn’t name the player.
I know this isn’t ground breaking info, I’m more curious if anyone actually knows the player?

I'm thinking Tyson Frizell - just a guess though. Not playing anywhere near his ability and hasn't taken up his option with the knights.

 

[weststigerman]

LOL we're not signing Andrew Fifita.

I'd take David Fifita though.

Frizell coming here would be a balls-up
