Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[weststigers]

Jake Clifford and Albert Kelly are both players who have had their moments. I feel they both have had several cracks at NRL and are just not up to it. Brodie Croft would be the best option in England but that doesn't inspire much confidence either unfortunately. Our only option might be paying overs on the best flegg or reserve grade half who won't be playing firsts at their club.

I think Albert is a bit of a pest on the drink.

Nrl recruitment is a complete shamozel.

I hope Sheens pulls off a huge coup and signs Jack Welsby from St Helens although Redcliffe would be a huge chance with the Kridstian Woolf link.

 

[AdelaideTiger]

With Sheens at the helm we're more likely to see Talau at seven, To'a at six, and Papali'i and Blore at prop.

Talau did play 6 for NSW 18s...

If brooks is going re signing Hastings is a must

Damn right. I don't have the exact answer but contracts & announcements should be done in 1 or 2 small windows through the season so it becomes a big fan experience.

The AFL absolutely ream the NRL in this regard!

Canberra

Just shows that he can be a ball playing 13 in the long run.. or edge player.

 

[gallagher]

I hope the Wests tigers know what they are doing. One small mistake with player retention can lead to a year long catastrophe.

I wouldn't worry, with sheens overseas, Pascoe is back in charge.

 

[finnzo]

Canberra

Him as a ball playing 13 for Canberra would be unstoppable

Agreed but I don't know what will happen. Do you ? It appeared to me Brooks was staying but the news yesterday seemed like there was a good chance Brooks was gonski and the POM today basically confirmed it.

Maybe a better way to phrase this is asking is the following spine good enough for us:-

1. Laurie
6. Doueihi
7. Hastings
9. Api

Do we have any backup as well ?

Everyone bagged Buzz when he wrote this yesterday, maybe his mate Sheens tipped him

 

[tiger_one]

Now Madge has joined the Raiders as a Senior Consultant alongside Ricky, is there any chance he'll try and entice our players their way?

 

[Batmans Parents]

RUOK? @pawsandclaws1

Oh, he's MIA as per the usual procedure when his dumbass takes blow up in his face and he doesn't have the spine to face the music.

He's probably applying for a Newcastle Knights membership as we speak. Must be quite the task with all those tears.

 

[Junior Dig]

I wouldn't worry, with sheens overseas, Pascoe is back in charge.

Hahaha 100%

He’ll sign 2 more sponsors, increase membership by another 0.0005% (3 people) then release Hastings, Laurie, Stef, Ice and Api for Sharon Woods and Andrew Fifita and his bro
🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

 

[851]

I get the feeling you're related to the human speed bump. Is that you daddy?

He has good info usually, so I wouldn't be bagging him

Imagine klemmer and woods back together

7 years after it was initially proposed

A few have a Madge clause as I understand it

Maybe Ken will head that way, Don't know if Hastings would though given how bad the English players have left the Raiders the last few years

 

[Tim Sheens]

Brooks has done the right thing by the club in letting them know he is intending to sign with Newcastle a couple of weeks prior to November 1st.

Happy enough if he and the club come to an agreement prior, but the most important thing is it is opening up opportunities for the club to plan in the coming fortnight if separating.

Whether Sheens or anyone else is overseas or not, isn't really relevant in this day and age.

I wouldn't worry, with sheens overseas, Pascoe is back in charge.

Hobart will be WT 20th home ground next season
