Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If we sign Bateman and Williams I'm going to need to lie down.

 

[Hmm]

If we can get Moses I’d cry happy tears for the first time since 05 as a tigers fan, I’ll settle on Williams for a couple years of Bulldogs win the race to him, I think we should go all in for Moses

 

[TigerGene]

Sorry- Just can’t see Moses ever coming back to Tigers!

Yeah, me to......but then there is Uncle Backdoor with his influence and $$$!!!

It is strange to feel this prevailing optimism, this cannot be the WT forum, for sure! 🤔

Fresh from John Batemen’s impending return to the NRL another Englishman is set to make a comeback to rugby league in Australia.

George Williams in on the radar of a host of clubs who have made it known they want to sign the ex-Raider for 2024. Williams, who still has two years left to run on his contract with Warrington, is known to be considering returning to the NRL after an acrimonious split with the Raiders midway through last year.

A number of NRL clubs are already circling after he impressed during his 18-month stint at Canberra. Williams shone for England during the tournament to beat out the likes of Nathan Cleary, Jahrome Hughes and Anthony Milford and claim the halfback spot in the World Cup team of the tournament.

Williams, 28, played just 28 games for the Raiders before his high profile exit.

Williams told Fox Sports this week that he would “never write off” an NRL return – blaming Covid-19 for part of the reason why he had to return home.

His potential NRL return was all the talk in the English camp in recent weeks.

So too was that of his former Canberra teammate in Bateman who is expected to join the Tigers’ growing formidable forward pack.

Bateman was telling his English teammates that he had put his house in Wigan on the market and his Australian partner had already returned home in preparation for his switch to the Tigers.

Tigers coach Tim Sheens confirmed talks with Bateman were ongoing. (DT)

Moses at 7 and Williams at 6 with our developing pack in 2024 puts us in the Premiership race

if we look back, Parramatta gave us Hodgson and Richards the WT's legends, and not to mention Moodie 🤣

We gave them David Gower.

 

[old_man_tiger]

Once a Slimey Fart, always a slimey fart.... unless he wins a comp with us in which case he is a high quality young man.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

We gave them David Gower.

and recently Stone, and Woods (2nd rower, not Aaron 😉 )

 

[Demps]

Moses - Brown (Not that he come directly from us)
Matterson, Stoney

Matto was a dogs jnr that spent some time at Parra before Roosters, Tigers.. but I see what ya saying.

Didn't Matto share that he played for the Magpies at some sort of junior level?

There is always an optimist haha.

No finals this or next year. 2025 looking good though.

Don't see where our points will come from next year to be honest.

We can't really compare our attack next year to anything in the past 6 - 7 years, we havnt had a reliable forward pack that have been able to get then stay on the front foot. If the new pack gels then our backs should have loads more time and space with the ball in hand. Alot of our regular players in the backs who looked average might shine with an extra second and not having to use their body's as battering rams.

Before we sit down with Moses, we need to throw the kitchen sink at manu as our new long term fullback

 

[Curly_Tiger]

Williams would be cheaper you’d reckon
Say he’s $750k and Moses is $1m what would you do?
They’re both 28 by the way and both kick goals, not sure %
I’d go the value option in Williams
Moses I’d be happy with but I just don’t think he’s an every week gun which I feel you need to be for a million

The big thing in our favour now is we have started the dimono effect.
We always needed to sign a few good players so others will take us seriously and we have done that. Without adding Klemmer, Api and Papi players like batman or Moses would not even consider us and now they are. The turnaround is so far is mind blowing TBH.
There is no way we are getting the spoon again next year and the media will be focusing on Dragons, Titans and Knights
