Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If we can somehow have all of Api, Papalili and Klemmer coming to the club next year

All I’ll say is if we offer Munster more money than any other team due to our cap space and also have the lure of Benji/Sheens with our new COE etc….. he may be more tempted to come to us with those 3 boys joining what we already have here - just food for thought

Hel go back to Qld. Family is there.

Munster can't be offered a contract till November 1

Not if his current team give him permission to negotiate

IMO I think Anasta and Munster are using us to increase price elsewhere.. I am not holding any hope on this one but would be stoked if they pulled it off.

Give us suffering fans some info than please mate

Don't have to name him

Just tell us is it a big name?

Average player?

Club he is from?

Has signed or a maybe?

Hero who doesn’t name anyone, oh pom can, so just a bluff

News/Media round up: - Papali’i confirms he’ll be a Tiger in ‘23. - Staines/Peachey swap for ‘23 to be confirmed in the weeks. WT also interested in Spencer Leniu, who would be pushed out due to cap pressure. - Klemmer toured WT COE, possible 3 year deal from ‘23.

WT keen on bringing junior Nathan Brown back to the club. Eels prepared to contribute to Brown’s salary of 500k in ‘23.

Klemmer has been top 5 in Ave running metres and post contact metres for forwards for over half a decade, including this year. Adding him, Papali’i (most metres and PCM amongst forwards over 21/22) as well as Api, Stefano, Twal is a no brainer for me. Ideally 2yr + Club option

Looks like Api, Isaiah and AD the only top 30 players currently contracted for next year heading to RLWC from WT. Very handy for a squad transitioning to a new coaching staff and style this preseason. Should have most on deck for Day 1 of preseason.

Believe there’s a compulsory 6-8 week (not sure exact length) break players need to take from their final game of the season. Should see the club have a lot of players on deck and a chance to get a leg up when it comes to cohesion and combinations

Evident between Klemmer, Spencer Leniu and Nathan Brown links that WT want a middle forward in for next season. Someone to take it upon themselves to lead. Joffa and Twal more passive workers while Stefano and Pole still establishing themselves.

API needs a pack, a hard hitting second rower. Preston Riki fan club member I am, getting players out of the same system.
Musgrove is rubbish .
Klemmer , stef, leinu, Riki, ice, brown, Hastings, pole … shapes nicely. We got the cash go for it. No more plodders we need to make a statement. Facts, blokes like Martin , ain’t coming to the tigers. I told hartigan about Riki when he was busting up the Qld cup, and hopgood 2 years ago. But we know we need a huge cultural change and a new footballing ceo. Pascoe is a salesman nothing else.

Brenton Baira (spelling) playing wing for WAC (Walgett Aboriginal Connection) in Koori KO GF… sign him up!
Skill, pace, step, good hands.

Yeah he looks real good !

I’ll tell you what- a blind man on a galloping horse could tell you we need to sign Ben Barba…. He’s killing it in the Koori knockout. Wests tigers asleep at the wheel as usual

Well a blind man on a galloping horse could have caught the bomb Barba just dropped to let the other team score under the posts

Barba is the last person that I want to see us sign.
Absolute grub of a human being.

 

[Needaname]

The Panthers CEO pooped on Api about offering a new contract.

That was Sattler commenting on how he got squeezed out even though he made origin that year

 

[Champ1]

Who am I? The WT will announce a new signing in the next 100 years.... but i will allow the Pom the announce it! Hint- (a misty gun) Cant be wrong can I?

 

[hammertime]

We've got another mystery prop situation brewing here.

I suppose we'll know in 48hrs.

 

[tiger05premier]

Wait and see I guess

Yes we will

And by the way I'm not having a go at you

I really hope you are right

Just been too many false starts on this forum and can't see this one being any different

But if you are right which I highly doubt you will leap frog the POM on this forum

 

[loklok]

Thursday !?

Exactly

Unfortunately think NRL banned him from signing with anyone.

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

48’hours stand by

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

What’s your question about the relevance of my post got to do with this thread subject?

Stay on topic please.

Apologies. I just like checking in for juicy rumours and to see if the Munster signing is out there yet, but keep on having to read why we didn’t sign Bellamy and Bennett in 1922. But apologies I stand corrected for posting an irrelevant post

 

[Odessa]

Bulldogs won’t be able to afford Klemmer so that’s a pipe dream they’re so tight with there cap and still trying to upgrade Burton and buy a fullback/half won’t waste big money on a forward unless they get rid of TPJ or Thompson and even then it’s still unlikely - knights will release him early to whoever can offer to chip in the most towards his 800k contract and we’ll beat any dogs offer for sure

Klemmer and Lenui will make our pack complete

8. Stefano Utoikamanu
9. Api Korisau
10. David Klemmer
11. Shawn Blore
12. Isiah Papalili
13. Jackson Hastings

14. Tommy Talau
15. Spencer Lenui
16. Alex Twal
17. Joe Ofanguea

I spoke with someone at Canterbury in the last week said Thompson is cooked so just perfect for the Tigers to many head knocks or medical retirement

What is exciting is our squad will get to make full use of their skills under Sheens/Furner/Marshall/Farah. This will be just like a new squad; throw that ball around guys.
