Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tigers_Wests]

I think Simpkin and Da Silva are the two genuine hooking options long term. Unsure on what's going on with Anjoul at present but he hasn't featured too much due to injury.

Rua can play 9 and 13 as you said and would be a Brandon Smith-esque wrecking ball, whereas Tannous for mine is destined for the 14 role given his proficiency as a half, 5/8 and hooker. there's room for a few of them in both the starting 17 and the roster itself, it's just a matter of taking the right option.

Some big roster decisions to make in the coming years regarding our young ones coming through (not just for this position). We have got things in place this time round, so let's hope we get it right!

I'd always be interested in Staines, his presence on the field is a threat to the opposition with that pace, If you create room, he is away.

Surely a ghee up…Staines is garbage and Penrith fans can’t wait to see the back of him

 

[Cobarcats]

Out of all the signing suggestions and rumours thus far, the Crichton one has got me excited.
If we got him and Tapine
I would be so confident about our prospects in 2023.
However good news in tiger town is far and few between

He's improved this year and unlike our club, the Panthers have depth in their squad May is a very good winger and from what was written on this forum, will be staying at the Panthers. If we can pick him up cheaply he adds a dimension to our backline and depth.

I don't think people have watched Staines this year. He is quick and running with purpose. We don't have any wingers with speed. It does come down to cost though.

Madges kiwi touch doesn't stop at league All black international Caleb Clarke and Madge have had talks about bringing him over to the concord based club

That would be incredible. Tuiaki Mk2.

It would be awesome to get a signing like this. I reckon Angus would be really good on the right dollars as well but this guy would be huge.

If the Roosters wanted to keep him they would find a way, they always do. That they're not will tell you all you need to know.

Got a feeling hel end up at the Eels.

 

[Roar_Power]

Both didn't come with the price tag of Crichton. I still think this will end in tears for WTs but you never know.

I reckon he ends up back in rugby for the 2023 World Cup

Yes but not likely until at least 2024 - there's a small matter of the 2023 Rugby Cup to face in October next year for him in the meantime. Hmmm? WestsTigers or the All Blacks - What the Haka - go the Tigers!

 

[batboy]

I only noticed him because he abused Shane Walker like a juvenile tosser!

Our roosters rejects have worked out in the past, albeit brief.

Matterson and Momo.

Braith Anasta, Esan Marsters, Jack Littlejohn, Asipeli Fine,
Jacob Miller... Worked real well 😂

He hasn't played Rugby for years.

He has to finish this season then go over for one season before the world cup. Assuming he would be a centre it would still take time. Doubt he'd get picked.

Rehab.

Got a brace on his leg.
He's been in the gym though and looking healthy.

Promising player I think.

Do u know what official injury was club never provided update.

While Angus sounds good on paper. It would be important to know what his intentions are.

What's he won two GFs, played for Roosters, maybe his stale with footy what's going to Tigers under madge, going to do for that?

This will probably be an unpopular opinion but I don’t see any rush to go and spend on wingers. When we have Nofo and Maumalo fit they are good enough. Until we have some decent centres, anther good 2nd rower and a consistent threat at fullback, wingers aren’t going to change diddly. Look at the Dogs if you need proof.

Hope he doesn’t. Would love him at the Tigers!

Has also left Madge once before....
It looks like a brilliant signing - But feels like a bad one to me....
Something off about it all.

Private School pretty boy - Rep Player.
Leaves 2 Glamour Clubs ends up playing for the Wests Tigers...
???

One of the funniest tweets I've seen someone said they are convinced Staines is just a fan who somehow ended up in the Penrith team.

Hahaha.... man.

Esan came from East's?

I watched Jack LJ come through and he was a gun, at east's and Manly.

Was a cup player with us.
