Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I find this very odd benji has been quoted saying we don’t want leaks in the club any more so we don’t hear of anything for months and he also sees we only want people to hear about things once they are done then this comes out.

hoops has either got bored with the lack news coming out of the tigers and made something up

or this is actually a chance of happing

or there is still leaks haha
Well, people winged about the leaks, then they winged because Tim & Benji were not letting us know what was happnin now people are complaining that they have informed us of something they have done.

CAN THEY WIN.

NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO THERE BEING CRITICISED.
 
Munster wont come here , unless we offer him north of $1.5m p.a....It's a 2 horse race for his signature.
Maybe thats what we got to do. Like with Roy Asotasi with souths.
Sometimes you have to pay overs for a star so others will follow.
But it has to be a star , not a Packer, or Reynolds etc.
If we pay $0.5M overs for Munster, we might not have to pay overs for others. Might save in the long run.
 
Payne Has looks set to leave and will go to the highest bidder, with the salary cap looming to be raised sooner rather than later I would be open to bringing him over and partnering him up with Stef for the next decade

Hass, Papalili and Korasau imo takes us into the top 8
 

Tigers’ shock $7m Munster play to blow NRL rivals away​

You’ve got to hand it to the Wests Tigers for trying to think outside the square. In line to get the club’s first-ever wooden spoon, the Wests Tigers have hatched a plan to make an audacious play aimed at signing the NRL’s best player – Cameron Munster.

Yes, you read that correctly, the Tigers are going to try and throw their hat in the ring with the Queensland and Australian five-eighth.

The way we’ve heard it the Tigers are talking about making Munster a five-year, $7 million offer aimed at blowing the Melbourne Storm and the Dolphins out of the water.

Fresh off the back of being flogged by 70 by the Sydney Roosters, it’s clear the ailing club needs a circuit breaker signature.

Sure Api Korisau and possibly Isaiah Papali’i will arrive next year but the Tigers are going to need to get a hell of a lot busier in the open market to fix the current plight of the club.

Munster, 27, is precisely the type of key signing who could help stop the rot at Concord.

You can’t blame them for dreaming – remember the Tigers also sounded out Sydney Roosters captain James Tedesco recently – but the chances of it happening are in all likelihood Buckley’s and very little.

The Tigers virtually have an open cheque book to spend for 2024 with a host of top 30 players including Adam Doueihi, Luke Brooks, Jackson Hastings, Daine Laurie, Shawn Blore, Joe Ofahengaue, Alex Seyfarth and Tuki Simpkins all off contract.

Tigers incoming coach Tim Sheens has arguably the greatest challenge of his decorated rugby league career in trying to fix the bun fight that is Concord.

At least the club’s succession plan of Benji Marshall taking over as head coach in 2025 is guaranteed to give the Wests Tigers some pulling power in terms of current players who are off contract.

The last five-year deal the Tigers floated was to incoming Canterbury-Bankstown head coach Cameron Ciraldo.

The risk with this Munster play is it will end with a similar result.
My three points re this piece:
1. Don't you just hate the smarmy, asshole Hooper's tone.
2. IF we are in the race - go for it - but FFFFSS keep quiet about it (looking at you Lee) no fricking pr releases when/if we put in an offer or when we don't sign him - seriously!!!!
3. He won't come here.
4. Don't you just f#cking hate Hooper. (an extra point worth re-iterating)
 
Whats the chances something like this could happens?
Lets assume hes on $800k considering there are reports of $925k would the dogs pay 50% freight to bin him off. Im not saying what you're suggesting isnt right it just seems far fetched on the face of it.
And yes at that price i take him in a heart beat.
925k this year, 750k next year

Front ended contract..... 450k seems fair
