Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

She said Andrew Fafita not David.

Foxsports article has a list of players off contract, Graham, Lodge etc and it has Andrew Fafita as likely going to Tigers
Just like Brooks and all the other signings I don't think the media has a bloody clue what Sheens is doing
When we signed Papali and Api no leaks I suspect no leaks this time when someone is signed too

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Like letting Madden go, then Brooks and possibly Jacko.
Whether is bad luck or bad planning we seem to be falling in a heap, subject to Brooks/ Jacko being true.
I would have thought if Brooks does go, then Jacko would automatically take over the 7 shirt, which, from what the Pom mentioned, is currently a hurdle in resigning.
I was amazed when I read Diaz was going to Manly, I thought we had developed him ready to move forward.
There are a few things happening at present that have me very concerned about whether they are making good decisions atm.

if Hastings goes in 2024 and he is not seen as a 7 but a 13, Sheens is probably thinking we can get a good 13 in the market

We have Matamua and Faagutu who are both outstanding prospects and both ball playing 13s.

Musgrove and Tamou replaced by Woods and Fifita 🔥

 

[WT2K]

Fifita!!

Looks like Chris was onto something.

true he might be happy to let Hastings go in 2024 if they are better options at 13
Go find a 7

I'd let Hastings and Doueihi both go end of 23.

Woods will have a crack if he gets a chance to come back. i don’t expect him to start the year in first grade but if he gets a chance i think he’ll do a job. besides, as Aubanon said earlier, if it gets Klemmer across i’m all for it.

Think you might be right! Be interesting at least to see how he goes under Sheens coaching.

We'll have no halves then.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

We'll have no halves then.

We only have one now.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

We only have one now.

Yeah, and you're suggesting letting him go.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Yeah, and you're suggesting letting him go.

Hastings is far too slow to be an NRL half in our team. The good defences shut him down as he offers little in attack.

Fox sport saying Tigers taking Andrew Fiffita fot 1 yr . The guys been on 1 leg for 2 yrs lol
This would be as bad as the Storm 2nd rower who arrives with more bandages then a mummy!

Hope this is wrong, or Tigers fans will leave in droves.

You'd probably also have us offer a life time contract to Brooks.

Looks like the stars are aligning for us to rid ourselves of that burden though.

I've heard Benji and Farah say enough for me to believe they're fans of AD.

At least he can set something up. Doesn't just hoist a kick from 30 metres out or grub a kick into the legs of the defence at the line and hope for the best.

Get that Newcastle cheddar, Brooksy!

As opposed to Luke Brooks who offers the world…

 

[Demps]

Hastings isn't a 7...

Except when he displaced Brooks from the 7 and played 7 and did an outstanding job playing 7.

I remember him touching the ball multiple times when he played 7 and not setting much up at all. It would have been preferable for the team for him to touch the ball less. I guess Sheens sees it this way as well.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Let's let go of Hastings because he's missing a yard of pace, for a guy who is quick but offers nothing.

May as well sign JAC and put him in at halfback if that's the case.

That's why he plays 13. Sheens doesn't view him as a 7 (and he is correct).
