Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Jedi_Tiger]

Hastings is the key
think if the club signs Hastings they may well be prepared to let a Brooks or douhie go, and run with 7. Madden 6. Dylan Brown
if Hastings leaves I think they keep douhie and Brooks

Munster wants to play fullback. Let’s go for Paps

 

[Hmm]

Good to see Ipap finally committing to being at tigers next year haha

The problem we have is AD wants to wait until after the WC and then others will be offering him big money..
I think the way we go is:
1. Extend Hastings ASAP
2. Try and extend AD but look at other option if he is not keen - Brown
3. Extend Daine Laurie as he is starting to come into the game more with our new game play and once Api is added next year it will open even more for him.
4. Make a play for another 2nd rower like Angus C
5. If we cannot get AD to commit I can see why we want to extend Brooks but on reduced money.

I have a Gut feeling Sheen has this worked out and just setting the table behind the scenes. I also think there is going to be a move from left field that we will go wow.. Fingers crossed

I agree with most of what you say, except AD. I would rather Brown than AD any day of the week. Douehi is nothing more than a running backrower in the 6 jersey. We could put him in the centres where he can cut out the bloke between him and the winger when we have an overlap.
I love AD,s passion, if only he could tackle. If AD holds us to ransom, let him go.

What's this curve ball your thinking about?

 

[The SHADOW]

If we get D Brown, A Doueihi will accept centre, we need to recruit another halfback, possibly D Hawkins. Hasting settles as lock, bench or leaves.
Brooks and Madden if the can find a starting spot elsewhere , I encourage them to go, we have no room.

You don’t want a rebuild with old parts.

my only problem with us maybe going for Dylan brown is that I don't think that he would do much better then how AD is playing with the roster we have right now but I'm guessing we are going to get at least another marquee signing with him

 

[hsvjones]

Not sure but I think it will be someone already under contract so no one will expect it.
Sheen's just has a way of making things happen and ex-players love him and speak very highly of him.

Hold our collective noses and get Xerri. Massive natural (!) talent with a point to prove.

When does he finish his suspension?

2024 I believe he can start playing again so after Nov 1 you could sign him

 

[Newtown]

When did this happen?

Brown is considered one of the best defensive halves in the game. He didn’t play that well last night against Souths. Although Souths backline was on fire not many teams would have been able to contain them. Melbourne‘s defence was outstanding against Penrith.
With Benji, Sheens and Robbie running the team next year it would good to have a few very strong defensive players in the backline like we had in 05.

I like Brown but I think we would need to be around 850-900k to have a chance.. There are a few clubs that would pay that so time will tell

He is potentially a really good player. I'd love to keep him and see him work on his game he hasn't proven himself as a marquee player.

How much is he worth ?

Hastings isn't marquee either but Hastings is more important to our team.

It's a risky signing. I'd rather go for Munster.

 

[supercoach]

I have heard whispers and I stress only whispers from two people close to the club (but not inside the club) that Hastings will not be extending or resigning due to the Madge sacking. Both these people are independent from each other. I just hope if this is the case that Jacko gives the club notice of his intentions so they can go down another path.
