Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Came through Melbourne system.
Prop

Pretty sure he started at Parra....
He's local there I think.

He's getting on 27-28....
Only debuted recently, Dunno if he's worth any bother....
Hasn't done much up until now.

He was worse than horrible.
You wouldn't feed him.
He is a fraud.
If Tigers sign him it will be a worse outcome than Ryan O'hara.

You nailed it mate

I said in another post I'd rather Jordan Rankin than him

He is hopeless

Yeah Parra Jnr.
Went to Q cup and came through Melbourne pathway.

Didn't see him do much for NZ this season.

Only debuted cos of Covid I think....
Been around forever - Q Cup is where the crappy NSW Cup players go to retire
(Scary how far that comp has dropped)

Reckon his knees are about shot....
The way he's played has caught up with him quickly...

 

[tiger05premier]

Laurie is quick, has a great passing game, is great under the bomb and is tough.

Just what we need at this club

 

[hugh1954]

Klemmer and lenui would top off our recruitment drive for next year just nicely

Lenui would be a great get,but Klemmer worries me as being another Reynolds would go good for the dogs but might not give the same value for us

Wanted Leinu, land a Pene.

Couldn't be more underwhelming than that.....

Reynolds was absolutely busted....
Couldn't say he gave up!!

Klemmer is a different beast, Different player - In a very different position.

Another one whose best days, imo, are behind him.
Personally wouldn’t sign him.

NRL360 mail was Bateman and Klemmer to tigers, Sheens off to UK and will meet with Bateman shortly. Also the panel still believe Brooks is off to Newcastle. (He will need to go make room for Munster !).

Absolutely making it all up. You wouldn't want to share actual private info with these blokes. The whole office would know your business in 10 seconds.

 

[Tiger913]

Is there there actually any truth behind the Staines, Leniu talk or is it just old Chinese whispers ?

 

[SeanT]

Laurie is quick, has a great passing game, is great under the bomb and is tough.

And he goes missing, doesn't support forwards and gets caught out of position at times.

Long way to go. Give him next year and see what happens

Personal

Or personnel? 😏

 

[426Tlgerland]

Klemmer / Lenui / and a centre would top us off
we have enough to go forward
didn’t we beat
Parra , South’s this year with out all our new guys coming plus our potential new signings ,

 

[tigerman 0]

We desperately need a strike centre as well as forwards

 

[Glenji95]

We currently have 27 spots filled in our 30 for next season. So if we release Peachy that’s back to 26 but if we are doing the swap for Staines and Leniu that brings us to 28, so 2 spots left to fill hence the talk of Klemmer and Bateman.

I would take both as we do need more help in be the forwards but obviously that will fill up our 30 if all this happens but I think if it does happen we will end up releasing Musgrove and Gildart. Possibly Simpkin too but I think if we do Nu Brown will take his spot. Rumours of Musgrove to Dragons and Gildart back to England or possibly Dolphins.

There has been talk as well on Twitter from NWBT that we are also considering signing Nathan Brown and Parra will help chip in his salary for next year for any team willing to take him. Don’t know for sure if we will get him but just something to keep the eyes and ears open about.

Some reckon it could be a swap for Klemmer and Brooks possibly Frizell, I don’t know if we will release Brooks for next year I’ve personally accepted he’s with us for next year, but with all the talk of Munster I doubt we will get him but if we did Brooks won’t be at the Tigers for 24 onwards. Won’t be able to accomodate both players in the cap. Interesting times ahead now that the season is over we will probably hear more news after the World Cup but I am interested to see what unfolds.

In my opinion, Klemmer was just about one of Newcastle's best which I know doesn't say a lot, but I think he'd be an awesome pick up. Exactly what our pack needs a leader who can lead by their actions and instil a bit of fear into the opposition. He's also on the right side of 30, so I think we still get a bit of footy out of him (JWH is 33).

Big yes from me.
