Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Five players contracted for at least 2023 or longer moved on since the end of this season, so plenty of change in the roster that came stone motherless.

A matured and ready to return to Australia Williams would be nice, as I have a little trouble accepting Moses back, and it would mute the halves talk.

lt that shows you how much other clubs really thought about the talent's of LB.
we could not get newcastle to give us their $800.000 man in exchange 4 our 1ml man.
But they take our cheaper half, worth 3 to 4 hundred thousand instead.

In exchange for Klemmer.

I think they will spend the money they saved on the Broncos fullback
 
I cant imagine Doueihi being a success at FB, he has the turning circle of the Pasha Bulka. I can imagine he's having a massive strop and wants out, tbh ever since he strolled out of the line to pick up his mouthguard against the Roosters i wanted him out too.
 
Another day another 100 posts about Brooks, few lads in here’s misso must’ve copped a few inches from him back in the day and they’ve never gotten over it by how much they carry on, he’s a tigers player, we got a competitive pack with players still hoping to prove something so it’ll be good to see them rip in.

Tigers want to be a club that promotes it's junior depth. You can't halt whatever progress Naden, Kepoua, Talau, Falou etc were making by bringing in guys to bump them down the list. These guys have first grade experience now- it's not like Pole, Matamua etc who have a handful of games to their name. Experience up front makes sense. Let the young guys play out wide. Another young winger to develop, or a 5/8 to develop perhaps?

If the club is looking at another experienced player- Nathan Brown to add some starch off the bench.

Just noticed you are a Mod now Demps, congrats
 
Trying not to get too ahead of myself, because our backs and halves are still not great. However, the pack looks insane

8. Klemmer
9. Koroisau
10. Stefano
11. Bateman (if he joins, which looks more than likely at this point)
12. Papa
13. Matamua (trust in this kid to play limited minutes at the start, hopefully grows into the position)

14. Rua (covering hooker and lock)
15. Ofahengaue (covers prop and lock depending on where Rua is subbed on)
16. Pole
17. Twal

Blore and Talau are also second row cover... expecting Blore to eventually come into the side but needs limited minutes first

Well for me Simpkin, Simpkins, Seyfarth, Nofoaluma, Maumalo, Laurie and Doueihi are still somewhat skating on Sheens/ Benji prepared 2023-24 thin ice.

Stains im sure was bought for fullback. He played next to Edwards at FB , one of the best in the game. He's super quick, comes from a very professional and well trained side . I think he will be a standout given some time to adjust . As i have previously posted ,i would have signed Stains for 3 yrs, Both Laurie and Stains are not signed beyond 2023. That means the club is not convinced either of them are the right fit. Go figure !

I think sheens will give stains a crack at centre , he likes speed

Can you just be quiet. You come out of nowhere and suddenly are the self appointed god of all rumours and the most well connected member on here.

You've barely posted on here and the fact you get into slanging matches makes you seem like a pissy little teenage boy annoyed that his mummy took his xbox off him...

@Chris what is the story with Fafita? I assume you meant Andrew.
