Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[loklok]

The common theme across this years top 8 is an in form skilled, experienced, tough and powerful forward pack with at the least a rep starting front row.

1st Penrith: FH and Leota.
2nd Sharks: Uele and Hunt / Rudolph. (Weakest in experience of all top 8 sides but makes up for in in absolute power)
3rd Cows: Hess and McClean.
4th Parra: RCG and Paulo
5th Storm: Bromwich and NAS
6th Roosters: Lodge and JWH
7th Rabbitohs: Tatola and Nichols / Burgess.
8th Raiders: Papali’i and Tapine.

Teams like the Dragons, Manly, Broncos have most of the above and were able to compete.
Bronocs still lacking experience, Manly and Knights hit hard by injuries to key players. Dragons too many mediocre players that just focused on roughing up teams and not trying to finesse a win.
The rest were way off with us the worst by a country mile.
Tamou too old, lacks aggression, mostly a role forward by now.
Musgrove. Just an clown and a bully. Only comes alive when the game is over. Really do not like what he brings.
Joffa, an endurance forward, technique is lacking at times and has no power to his game.

That's it .we need to target the top sides players .no rubbish

Kent referenced that the Tigers are spuiking they have signed a couple of forwards from Super League. Don't get excited, it's Jason Clark and Kane Linnett who is playing edge backrow for Hull.

Before this goes too far, this was an attempt to be sarcastic and dig at the club.

It is also quite possible that Sheens has signed 2 players from there who are not even that good.Chris McQueen has just made the ESL dream team and i am sure shonky can get the best out of him at the age of 35

OMG Warren McDonald is he still around was a laughing stock years ago so many bad recruits . Very retrograde

 

[Glenji95]

If we have signed 2 players from SL they better be good ones and young. Don’t expect young young but no older than 28 if they are older than that that is just dumb recruiting.

 

[Telltails]

Sheens sends the club to bottom of the ladder and then gives jobs to all his old mates.
And people thought Maguire was paranoid.
I hope it's successful but the club has virtually thrown all their eggs in his basket.

He admitted he was just having a dig at the club and Sheens no idea on who the players actually are.

I heard Michelle Bishop on SEN this morning talking about Luke Thompson. Apparently he has bad delay concussion symptoms. I’d be letting the dogs pay him his $800k next year. Although, Gus will probably be able to arrange a medical retirement.

Omg 2 run of the mill 33 year olds

The guy was having a joke I highly doubt they are 33 if we have signed any. I’ll be angry if they are over 28 years old.

 

[426Tlgerland]

Those 2 would be the last straw , but I doubt it

 

[Tiger Tarl]

If by some miracle we end up with John Bateman next year then I reckon we all could forgive ourselves for feeling a little hope. Papali'i and Bateman are two of the best backrowers around. Plus Api. Would make our recruiting look borderline genius.

 

[boonboon]

Firstly we should be aiming for some older forwards both to add experience and leadership and also because we have some great young forwards coming through and you don't want to block their path too much. My guess one is a 29 yr old backrower who used to play for us in Curtis Sironen.

You do understand Jason Bateman is "Teen Wolf Too" yeah?
Or better known as Mallorys' brother..

John Bateman, However - plays a bit of Rugby League....

 

[Cobarcats]

Oh that's harsh BB 🤣

I heard DCE is agitating for a release to reunite with his old mate Hastings at the Tigers.

We should sign him. He might help with the clean out
