Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[weststigerman]

Aiken at anything above minimum wage is not any sort of value. Bloke is worse than what we currently have and we're not a top 8 team. Why do people want us to stay terrible?

I’m glad you’re not in charge. If you’d rather Gildart in the centres then that will do me.

 

[supercoach]

I just hope we are talking to a couple of players that they are keeping hush hush. Because May is zero chance and Angus C is very long odds at best. Maybe they leak a few things to divert attention from their real target.

The Dykes possible signing sounds promising, although only a reserve grader, he plays no1 and is quick, two things we badly need

 

[weststigerman]

How does Dykes fit in if we already have Laurie?

It is interesting isn’t it. I mean he’d be useful to us right now, but I wonder what the plan is when everyone is fit? I can’t imagine we’ve brought him here to just be a backup.

Aiken hasn't played centre for three years. He's played back row and was being looked at as one

 

[tigerap]

I do too, since you know at least one or two things. Did we put the front end focus on Nikora to snatch Dykes from under Cronulla’s nose?

Dykes is not yet 100% signed…but most likely…Nikora negotiations were independent…..but he was never really serious about coming here….he always wanted to stay at Cronulla…leveraged WT to get 3 years and more money

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.

Maybe if he comes here for free...I honestly think we have better wing options

Aiken is similar to Garner….the club wasn’t prepared to keep garner
( on $375k)…Aiken wants $450k…club not willing to go anywhere near that amount,so we have moved on….

Sharks set to resign matt moylan also

Hi Lee's
Do you know tomorrow night's Powerball numbers?

 

[Odessa]

Of the three rumoured to let go by the Roosters players, I hope the only one we consider is Angus. JWH is surely due to hang his boots up and while Keary is a better player in attack than our current 5/8 (Brooks), he is worse at D (without the bodyguards he has now to clean up for him), is older and is concussion prone. IMO, the top 3 backrowers are: Fifita, Papali'i & Crichton. Imagine having 2 of the 3! Would rather him at 700K, than Nikora (550K?) and Aiken (350K?).

I posted here the other week I was told by a rooster that Keary will get a contract extension then a medical retirement it's a golden handshake preplanned let's see if it happens preplanned cheating the cap the Roosters wouldn't would they 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Know what you mean a rooster rarely becomes a tiger.

In other news, Brent Read in 360 went to bat for Tigers saying the headline Tigers blow for nikora incorrect as the Sharks offered more money then the Tigers were willing to pay.

Big Surprise that Headline was Hooper. Human turd that bloke

Incorrect. Played centre last year. If we was in our squad now he’d be the first centre picked.

Disagree. He's been their second rower. They've been terrible and he's a cat

Aitken is being looked at as a second row not centre

 

[Demps]

Yeah - Esan got punted after Ball and we picked him up for 20's from memory....
JLJ was a big body... Dunno if he was Hungry enough - He had it in the early days.

Looked good in 20s

Had a mate involved with the roosters and he said JLJ was the future.

Saw him rip Newy to shreds in a cup game when he was at Manly.

Was average for us.

Same mate told me he had a cousin at the roosters who was a rising star.... Kiah Cooper.

Currently in the newy comp, having a crack.

 

[Demps]

You got google?

Haha, surprising few names.

Fine was decent eh... never kicked on.
Met him and Sitaleki at Canberra in 2012 or something.

Looked like basketball players.
Very tall and athletic.

Liked em both.

 

[BAGNF05]

Nikora’s management contacted all involved clubs that he will remain at Cronulla last night.
Euan Aitken wants 450k a year & the club has moved on from him at this point.
Angus Crichton now a main focus.
Taylan May is the clubs number 1 outside back target for 2023.
Kade Dykes appears all but done for 2023, talks discussed about him being out 30th spot for 2022 continuing

No rush, we’re sitting pretty at 2/9 🙄

Yuck


Angus >

An unproven first grader and an unproven first grader. Sounds like WT

Nikora set to stay at cronulla on a 1.7 million dollar deal

In other news daddy dolphin Wayne Bennett is set to meet with Jock Madden and Tommy Talau
