Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

But if this loan benefits us and we get a better player back after been there why not go through with it? There is no way the tigers are sitting there going oh god poor storm are in trouble they have so many injuries we have to help them out. They are going this is an opportunity to give a player we have contracted long term experience at at far superior club and gain skills that will benefit from in the long run. I guarantee nofo comes back a better player next year with finals experience

This will definitely end bad for us.
Using your words,he is a experience player indeed,will he come back? I don’t think so.
Why would he?
He is still under contract with us until 2025.
He is going to a great club that wants him
And leaving a club that doesn’t mmmmm what would you choose?
I know what I would do!

Storm need defensive players and nofo has barely any defensive ability as a winger at all

Welcome on board Adam.

 

[steve2422]

Yes all up us my understanding

200K all up I hope?
He's barely played Reserve grade

 

[batboy]

Yes all up us my understanding

Those numbers seem like a 1yr development and 1 yr minimum wage....
Good business.

 

[hank37w]

We need to spend our pennies in the second row, and sign a couple of experienced props.

We probably end up spending our pennies in the Glenn Morrison Memorial Ablution Block instead.

The beginning of each year a club is allowed a squad of 30 players, during the year tiger's have had i think roughly 10 players unavailable due to injuries, did any club give a dam about loaning us a player, it's called natural nutrition, every club does their best with 30 players for the year, we're about to get the wooden spoon, I don't want it proud tiger's are 1 of the clubs that never had it, sorry not a fan of the loan.

No we're not Garry, we're about to win a few games and get the rub of the green from the NRL because they're shit scared that Lee is coming to get them.😂🤣

 

[hank37w]

that sounds very healthy

I feel better already.

Well you said why he would come back there he is contracted till 2025. I don’t know if I would say Melbourne want him they need him there is no way Melbourne are paying 500 k a year for a winger

Also he has a serious attitude problem and this is a huge wake up call for him he will comeback a new man next year

$100k saving is what we gain for a bloke who's playing reserve grade

Are we that desperate for money?

 

[Stevec]

I'm worried about 2 things
-our roster is really weak
- we seem to be signing no one
Hope its not because none of the top class potential recruits are interested in coming here ( here defined as Concord, Leichardt, Campbelltown and Comm Bank)
I hope pending recruits don't read too much on the WTF as all the bitter acid comments about players would be a turn off

 

[hank37w]

That’s a poor decision from Tigers , Ben has plenty to offer

I was afraid there wasn't going to be a place for him. Sorry to see him go because I think he has a good rapport with the younger players.

 

[Gazman]

I was hoping Ben could have gone back to coaching Wests State Cup so he could be kept in our system. His efforts on last weeks Coaching of the first grade team showed more in one game than the efforts by stand in coaches after Madge.

 

[Alltheway]

I agree, thought he would of been better than noddy for the rest of the year. Tipping his allegiance to Fadge might be the reason for his exit. Reckon he will get snapped up by old ‘blood clots Cleary’.

 

[hank37w]

Are we that desperate for money?

I think the greatest value is that if Nofo comes back that he is well grounded and has a vastly altered attitude, if he signs elsewhere in the meantime then so be it.

Looks to me to be a win win for all parties.

Update on Brandon tumeth contract.

Apparently it has all been soughted so it's still going to be a 2yr deal worth just over 200k. Happy days.

Awesome news

 

[BAGNF05]

I think he was meant to be running decoy and Brooks passed it to him anyway. That happens.

You learn from a young age there’s no such thing as a decoy. Be ready for the pass. Being behind the ball player is the pivotal bit or you’re just a waste of space.

 

[BAGNF05]

Are we that desperate for money?

Signs indicate yes

 

[Red88_Tiger]

I don’t believe our halves trust them. A. They’re leaving and B. They mostly just plod. Prime example Kelma clearly over ran Brooks on that pass meaning the only option was to hit him low on the right hip and the rest was history. Should not have passed it but probably won’t next time.

If it is the play I remember in the game brooks catches the ball on his right hip and not out in front of him. If the ball was in front kelma would of got the ball earlier and would of been sweet. But he still could of been a second later.
Mikale imo was the worst timed runner we had glad he’s gone

I didn’t notice that but you could be right. It’s all happening quite quickly I’m sure at NRL level and those little imperfections don’t cut it.

They are first grader’s and should expect the ball always.
