Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Who's the basket case now? Thanks Manly.

Be interesting to see if players do actually leave.

And the fans still think their club is the greatest....flogs

The Wests Tigers are facing a fight to keep Daine Laurie at the club after confidential was told that the Bulldogs were ready to weigh in with a lucrative offer for the fullback.

Laurie has been offered a one-year extension by the Tigers but his management is holding out for a longer-term deal. That has left the door open for Canterbury to make a move as they look to fill their void in the No.1 jersey.

The Bulldogs have also been linked with a big-money play for Penrith centre Stephen Crichton to play fullback as the Panthers juggle their finances in a bid to keep Crichton, Brian To’o and Liam Martin.

They may be forced to sacrifice Crichton to keep the other two, although they would do so reluctantly. It may hinge on what direction the Bulldogs take with the fullback position.

The club has been unable to nail down a player to fill the No.1 jersey. Matt Dufty, Corey Allen and Jake Averillo have all had a shot without making it their own.

Laurie looms as an option given the status of his talks with the Tigers, who are in the market for a handful of players as they look to ensure Tim Sheens, Benji Marshall and Robbie Farah have the artillery to climb the ladder next year. (Brent Read, DT)

He can go. We got turbo coming

So we are not prepared to invest three years into Laurie but Ciraldo/ Gus are. When are the equal to or better replacements coming?

 

[Barry Mack]

Laurie is arguably our best player, why would we sell him to the dogs and improve them? Laurie is literally our bright spark in this crap team

Bugger .. well that puts a spanner in the works .. i better inform my one eyed Bald Eagle supporter of this .. as he told me they could walk if Des goes.

That was from an article that I read on Fox sports.
What’s an NRL contract worth these days?
Not even worth the paper they are written on.

What a stitch up aye
My ex Demps snitched on me

Manly need a 5/8.

Tigers need a backrower.

Doueihi for Schuster, who we already know Benji likes..

I’d still prefer Schuster over Doueihi.
Schuster can pass the ball and he can also tackle.
P.S. Sorry Demps 😂

 

[bathursttiger1]

Siebold I believe is better with older players who understand not alot of kids coming into grade

No one at the Broncos could understand what he was trying to get though to them.
Typical school teacher, talking in riddles.

To me, Schuster seems too much drama/trouble and not enough work ethic.

He's shown glimpses, but he's mostly hype.

Goodness me, the bulldogs strategy is to keep signing players then release them 🤔
I hope we keep Daino, he is starting to fill out a bit and can only improve as he's still young and learning.
I thought he would be good under Sheens watch.

 

[rusted-on]

More than that .. the Turbo Brothers have an exit clause should Des be sacked .. lets offer them top dollar and get the 3 Turbo boys in a package deal .. !!

I believe they pushed for it in their last contract in 2019, but Manly knocked it back

Twal is a very good player. Look at how rubbish eels forwards looked in a side being dominated in the gf, and I'd want every one of their forwards. You can't make metres following slow play the balls no momentum and poor field position while chasing points. This has been our situation for three years. He's a strong runner on top of being an excellent defender. People thinking there are better props available need to reassess. Recently signed big money prop signings like josh Aloiai, Mark Nicholls, Jordan mclean and Luke Thompson are no better than twal. He's not a papalii or fisher-harris but he'd at least be the 2nd or 3rd best prop on most teams and I have him as our best one. We usually fall apart when he's not there and it was no different at the end of last year.

I reckon Twal finds a few more offloads under the coaching of Sheens. Always has an arm free but just goes the hit up. Immediately adds some value if he can do a bit more on offense.

Alex is practically impassable front on but on the edges with players body swerve or change up he gets stuck in the mud.
He is a top defender as you say and if he's in our 17, I hope Furner works on his D to make him an even a better defensive forward. He certainly isn't an attacking weapon 😻

Must have something in mind eh...
Hopefully something better than Staines.

Will be interesting to see Welsby playing at 5/8 for the Poms.
