Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Glenji95]

Does that mean he can play NRL this season? Need some pace in the backline

Yes we can play him

Need someone good. No point having pace if you aren’t up to first grade.

 

[Newtown]

Would be decent as a prop / middle. Has some leg speed, line speed in D and some mongrel

How old is he?

 

[king_sirro]

Give us what our forwards have missed some anger and mongrel Tamou out Brown In

You can't be serious. Brown is and always has been the biggest myth this game of Rugby League has ever seen.

He makes zero post contact metres and puts fear into no one.

I bet we sign this absolute myth.

 

[tigerbenji]

How old is he?

he is 29 mate.

 

[king_sirro]

He wouldn't be the worst signing Nathan Brown, mongrel and a connection to the club.

No use having mongrel if you don't have any physical attributes to back that up

Wonder what he did. A club can't just say we want you gone, go play reserve grade without a reason. If I was Brown and hadn't done anything wrong I'd go play reserves haha

 

[Fish88]

How old is he?

29 I believe. We need experienced first graders

 

[The-moP]

23**

Think they were to Nathan Brown's age .. ??

ps: time to upgrade your Tigers badge there Qwerty Rick .. lol ;-)

Tristan Reilly

Born: 14 January 1999 (age 23 years)

 

[Newtown]

he is 29 mate.

Thanks. He is getting on for a new signing. He wouldn't be much younger than Tamou.

Lmao.

Brown is average. Being aggressive doesn’t make you anymore skilled. It is usually the opposite. The more average the more aggressive they get I have found.

 

[Betterdays22]

Nathan Brown anyone?

Eels drop Nathan Brown, give him permission to leave

Nathan Brown’s future at the Eels is now at a crossroads. He has been given permission to talk to rival clubs about an early release.

www.smh.com.au

Relieving cap space for the Eels so they can sign someone like Matt Lodge. No thanks. Can really only play one position in the modern game and is not the kind of player we need at the moment. Our money would be best placed elsewhere I think

Here is our current state-of-play for 2023 squad;

- 27 players contracted
- 2 players under contract we understand can look elsewhere (Liddle, Tuki)
- 5 players out of contract currently unsigned (Talau, Madden, Tamou, Roberts, Kei)
- Making an assumption that Liddle & Tuki are released, that leaves 5 spots available

Big decisions coming up for new coach (and player concerned) on Tommy Talau, Jock Madden, James Tamou & James Roberts.

I can see Talau offered a 1-year-contract and new coach moulding him into a line-breaking backrower.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Nathan Brown will be looking for one final contract to top up his bank account. Sounds like one of our typical signings.

 

[SeanT]

Thanks. He is getting on for a new signing. He wouldn't be much younger than Tamou.

6 years younger lol.

But no. No more taking others trash off them. He's on good coin. Let him stay there. They are trying to get Angus Chrichton as well so why help them?

He's along way from that. I'd give Talau one year on cheaper.

The others I'd punt. Get rid of Brooks and Nofo as well plus some others.

will be interesting to see if Tumeth and O'Kane are elevated into the top 30. that will reduce the amount of spots. Talau and Madden I would re-sign and hopefully we can get Kade Dykes across the line. that would take us to 30 players... I think we need a front rower though.

would like to see us try and offload Gildart and Peachey as well. neither of them are first grade quality.
