Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Telltails]

These were the last four years of the Walker Brothers' tenure at Ipswich.

2016: 10th
2017: 8th
2018: 6th
2019: 9th

This myth needs to die.

Fair enough

Does anyone think Staines management rang the tiger's cause they know CC is going to coach the tiger's???
Just a thought???

I would've thought if that was the case, they'd just get in Ciraldo's ear about bringing him across once he's installed. There wouldn't be a hurry.

Personally, I couldn't think of much more of a waste of money than buying Charlie Staines.

Na. Just manager trying to use us as usual. We might be bad but improvements in salary cap management and recruitment have been better. Not heaps but better.

Yeh, the constant white anting of the coach didn’t help the players focus on the game. Anyway, in the wash up Robbie got a promotion and Madge was given $800k and shown the door. It was a messy 9 months.

Joe Tapine sounds better.

We’re not the roosters we have a cap.

Plus we overpaid Noff and probably Ken on long deals.

I’m keen to see how the new regime goes as far as moving underperforming players on. I’m hoping we can sign some young fast backs to at least put the pressure on selections moving forward. A fit Ken on one side is fine IMO.

Fortunately the club thinks otherwise. Dykes and Reilly both are quick.

What's the deal with dykes paws?

I know as much as anyone else. There is no news out in the Shire of the re-signing of Pele, Nikora or Dykes.

If Newcastle are trying to poach Hastings .. why don't we offer them Brooks or Madden or why not both .. lol

Buys:

Apisai Koroisua / Hooker
Isaiah Papali'i / Back rower
Triston Reilly / Centre - Wing (23yrs - 1.8m - 97kgs)

Maybe's:

Charlie Stanies / Wing - Fullback
Kade Dykes / Fullback

How about we offer them the middle finger (where’s Hobbo), and sing you got nothing I want, you got nothing I need.
Unless Ponga wants to move from the beach lifestyle to the stormwater canal lifestyle of Dromoyne.

No, I reckon every average player out there is looking at the Tigers team list and saying “I’d make that team for sure” or is it “foshizzle”, anyway, he probably got the idea off Naden.

Here's 2 links on Triston Reilly: https://www.world.rugby/sevens-series/video/338822?lang=en

The biggest plus with Ciraldo is the esteem in which he is obviously held, by the Penrith boys in particular. Very good chance he will drag a few with him if he joins us.

I’d say that they are waiting to see who our coach is before they sign or re-sign with the Sharks.

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

I reckon the dykes signing is made up

I think you've put your finger on the Dykes signing.

 

[coivtny]

I would like to see Ciraldo as our coach but I don't think it will happen, in fact I'm 99% sure it won't. If he doesn't come then I'd like to see Flanagan in the job.
Now let me save you some time ... "boo", "hiss", "drug cheat", "player welfare", "should be in prison".
I know, I know.

Haha.

Why would dykes come to us Moylans on his last legs dykes will be playing 5/8 there next year

 

[Eternal Tiger]

The NRL can't be happy that there is such an imbalance in sides. Honestly it is becoming ridiculous.

It's not their fault that we've been completely mismanaged though. We could've been sensible, but signed Packer, Reynolds, Mbye and McQueen on massive overs and for long term. Thats on the WT.

I wouldn't be so sure. Moylan was sensational against the Warriors and looks like he's getting back to the form that put him in a Blues jersey a couple years back. the way he digs into the line and squares up to create space for Kennedy is first class.

I'm not sure on what the go is with Dykes but he's probably got a clearer pathway to first grade at WT than he does at Cronulla. he's certainly got the skillset to become a regular first grader, if he comes here it'll be a pre-season shootout between him and Laurie.

edit: just saw the highlights of the Jets v Newcastle from this weekend. Dykes was sensational. there is a quality footballer there that should be in first grade.

1. $
