Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[WT2K]

Bird staying with Dragons. Via DT
It is understood the Dragons guaranteed two years for Bird worth about $1.1 million with a mutual option for Bird and the club to commit for a third season. It was enough for Bird to take up the offer.

The Tigers refused to commit themselves publicly to chasing Bird but at the very least held informal discussions about signing the premiership winner. They too were reluctant about agreeing to a third season.

He's going with the NY Mets. Keith Hernandez on first base and Sacamano on second.

Who's on third?

Who's on third?

Alex Rodriguez.

unsure what the plan is with Tumeth and O'Kane, but I know Saukuru is on a 2 year development deal. I'd say O'Kane will probably get a top 30 deal, hard to say with Tumeth's injury whether or not they'll upgrade.

keep in mind Lids and Simpkins have been told to look elsewhere which might free up a couple spots.

false !!! they have told lids to look elsewhere however the club view simpkins as the long term 9 & are eager for him to be Api's understudy for the next 2 years

Who's on third?

No, what's on third.

 

[TieDye]

Did he go ‘All the Way Home’, all night long?

 

[4jtigers]

The invisible man lol

You wouldn't believe this, I watch that skit yesterday on YouTube, hilarious.

Simpkins is a prop

I do feel sorry for lids, remember him coming thru and what an exceptional talent, destined for great things, then the injuries started.
And recently how could you forget that full length of the field try when he found another gear to score in the corner, wow!

also that chase down against souths the other week !! maybe if he packs on a bit of size he could be a ball playing 13? I personally think his distribution out of dummy half can be shocking sometimes & also very slow. His running game can be dangerous at times which is why he could go alright at 13.

talking about jake

 

[1eyedmel]

What are people's thoughts on Herman Esse Esse, off contract and big bodied with an offload in him. I think he would be cheap and a good project for Madge, a bit like Lucy.

Yep that's not a bad thought, I'd love to see that, he's a loyal kid. He'd definitely have to get those shoulders beefed up and his skinny legs 😀

A friend of mine told me luch is interested is interesting in backflipping on the cows & re-signing because he's interested in the idea of playing next to ipap? I called bullshit but thought I'd ask it here to see if theres any substance to it

Trouble is his highlights belong on a fullback’s reel. Hooker is about way more than highlights.

 

[Krammy]

I would like to see us go for Tapine and Crighton. Add Koriseau, Papalli, Stefano and that is the foundation of an extremely good pack.

yeah dont think backflipping is a thing these days, if anything prob see's limited opportunity with Nanai and Luki
