Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It's good to read a positive so thanks for that.

I reckon we could do everything you've stated and keep Luc but whatever. His effort last week was terrible and his defense at times has been terrible. He has still been our best forward and one of our top 5 players the whole time he has been here.

Everyone was cool to let Aloiai go as well. That has been a disaster for us.

Aloiai was just dumb (letting him go). Thank God noone is here who made that decision
 
Would of made a lot more sense if we actually put a development player in back row instead of another player who is a worse version of Luch, who is also one foot out the door. Seems very little “development” there.
Wouldn't be against Justin Matamua getting some first grade experience. Albeit some real rough experience.
 
It is not his benefit only...it clears around 40% of his salary.

That might help us land players / upgrade.

Don't deserve upgrades? Hastings is on 350 this year...you could give him LL's money and take him to 600 as part of an extension now.

Honestly, on form, I would rather Nu Brown given a chance in the backrow over Luc, Tuilagi and Garner anyway.
Upgrade Hastings...OK

But the other 2x are gone soon also.

I’m completely off him. He is not a first grade player. Let’s blood our juniors.
Yeah I’m off him pretty big now too but only suggested him to at least cop some brunt of the upcoming thrashing’s and ease a junior into the hellfire of the tigers front line lol
 
Im really happy we have spare cash.

All we need now are a Experienced coach that never gives up and some players. A second rower that has a good offload is a good place to start.

Great work Sheenscoe
Sheens was reported as saying many clubs are chasing our younger players. I see this as a chance to fend off rival clubs and include players such as O'Kane and Kautoga into the top 30.
 
You go Api, bring a few more with you


Koroisau urges Ciraldo to make Tigers move​

Penrith hooker Api Koroisau has encouraged Cameron Ciraldo to join him at Wests Tigers, declaring he'd love it if Panthers assistant coach made the switch to Concord.
Koroisau is currently in his last season with the Panthers, having agreed to a two-year contract with the Tigers which starts in 2023.
The coach who recruited him to the club, Michael Maguire, was sacked last week with Ciraldo the early frontrunner to take over the role.

Ciraldo has yet to hold a head coaching position at NRL level and he must now weigh up leaving a Penrith side underpinned by a steady stream of upcoming talent for a Tigers outfit that hasn't made the finals in over a decade.
Koroisau will be joined by Parramatta's Isaiah Papalii next year and said Ciraldo, who met with the Tigers on Monday, would be the perfect coach for the club.
"I'd love him (at the Tigers)," Koroisau said.
"Whatever he does, he is incredible. He's our assistant coach but he does all the defence and he makes sure we do it his way.
"He changes it up too, it (training) is never the same. He's always making sure the boys are paying attention.
"I've got huge raps on him as a man, leader and a coach. He's not a straightforward coach, he will change it depending on the situation and I think it's important to do that as a coach."
Koroisau learned of Maguire's downfall while in NSW camp and was relieved he found out through official channels rather than via the media.
The 29-year-old is likely to be included in Brad Fittler's extended squad for next week's must-win second game of the series in Perth.

He could well come into consideration for a bench spot to play in tandem with Damien Cook in WA after the Blues were picked apart by Queensland's one-two punch combination of Harry Grant and Ben Hunt.
"I got to watch the game in Freddy's box and that was a pretty cool experience," Koroisau said.
"You definitely see a lot more from the box and you can tell what we are needing out on the field. It (having two hookers) has definitely been tossed out there.
"Cookie's been doing a great job by himself and if Freddy did want to add me that'd be awesome."
