Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Blore ain't a lock, imo.

I beg to differ. Strong defensively (I'd argue he's up there as our best tackler), good linespeed & ball runner. Played lock in juniors, just haven't seen his ball skills but not to say he doesn't have them.

Don't trust a word out of his mouth

I knew that was coming. I guess you either believe it or you don't.😁

He is a tiger in 2023 I'm sure he can count on your support after all we all on here want to see the Tigers do well .. don't we ?

🥲 what could of been ay. I remember the day he texted me about Teddy saying they’d got him. Couldn’t believe it. My mate was the media manager for the Chooks at the time, works in radio these days but still in contact with a fair few players. Obviously isn’t in that inner circle anymore and things change daily so it may not eventuate, but just sharing what I heard and that there’d been discussions.

The only other person I occasionally heard things through was Ava. Played some junior footy with him and would see him at catch up BBQ’s every now and again.

Updated WT Contracts:
- Klemmer 3 years + MO
- Hastings removed
- Feledy top 30 in ‘24 + ‘25
- Tumeth player option in ‘25

View attachment 3277

Api is a club option for ‘25. Confirmed it on an ep with Fletch and Hindy.

If Doueihi is released and Hastings is gone, that does tell us we have replacements.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

He wanted to go to Newy but Sheens blocked him going early

did he ?? this was confirmed where exactly ? Daily Telegraph, Foxsports, NRL360 ?

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Good post. This is the section I enjoyed. We have players who can play lock but do they have ability to be the linkman?

Pre-season trials will be very interesting

hopefully Moses for 2024, maybe tha tis why dogs are going for douhie 2023

Offseason been more entertaining so far than all of the tigers games last season..mm

Outstanding defender.
Zero in attack.

Front row forward imo.

Need a bit more skill in the 13 these days.

No problem Chris, you have your opinion on the matter & that's fine, I don't normally respond to these types of comments but felt it was required when my character was questioned.
Cheers

I have always appreciated your info. Delivered in a way without bagging others out. Keep up the good work.

Here is the interview.

Embattled Tiger rubbishes wide-spread rumour

'Plenty of stuff that has been written about me'

wwos.nine.com.au

And Sheens said Hastings was playing for us in 23, Gus said the Dogs weren't interested in Ciraldo, Stains said he was committed to Penrith and seeing out his contract. I don't believe the media front anymore, there was too much smoke around Brooks wanting out for quite a long while

Then we need another backrower. Could be Benji's old mate Jaydn Sua who reportedly a couple of months ago was rumoured to want a release for the Dragons.

Sua is staying to see out his contract with Dragons. He did look at the Dolphins to reunite with Wayne Bennett and move back to Brisbane with his Family. This could be on the cards next year if Dolphins strengthens the roster but is hesitant to sign for a club who will struggle.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Maybe Sheens/Benji are mindful of the impact of those divisive personalities that have an inflated opinion of their worth (i.e. Nofa, Doeuihi). I can see these 2 moving on if the arrangement is right and we have guys ready to take their roles. Also wouldn't surprise if Kenny M either medically retires or goes to the Warriors if that is his desire.

Then an opening for a Cotric (as rumoured in another thread) & Jimmy Ngutlik as a project and possibly Moses, Dylan Brown or George Williams in the background.

What about Josh Curran (pending outcome of his court case). His name came up a few months ago.

Of course. But I am a realist. He's the worst halfback in the NRL and we could have the best pack in the world and he will still not steer us to victory

Looks like Doueihi will be gone...

As Doueihi sacked his manager, he has been selling himself as a No.7 or No.6 to a rival club and is after a three-year deal worth at least $900,000 a season.… he wants a minimum of $850,000 for the first season, with his price going up in future years

Who is going to pay him $900K a season … LOL Load of BS
Not even worth $900k ! 🤔

John Bateman to the Wests Tigers should be formally announced in the coming weeks, now that his RLWC campaign is over.

Is douhie gone for 23, or are you speaking of 24.

 

[The Chad]

Don't quote me- but just read a rumour:

Doueihi to be released to Dogs
George Williams & Bateman coming to Tigers

 

[Camel2281]

His Manager and the Knights

I love him as a player. Legal issues are a concern though
