Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It's very good that tigers are keeping contract negotiations very in house.
No leaks
Goodstuff

The Bateman transfer fee, which sits outside the salary cap to be around $250,000.

WT could announce a double signing.

Nope ... I'm not available.

micthell pearce?

I hope Ken gets his knee better but If true we should try and entice Semi Radrada back to the nrl! Would be an absolute weapon on the the wing.

Worlds are colliding.

Mail is mail, whether it comes to fruition or not. I do find it rather ironic that Chris has cracked POM for disappearing for weeks at a time then popping back in, when he, himself is as sparse as they come. The regularity of when somebody posts couldn't be more irrelevant to the legitimacy of their information.

As if it matters, I think all three have elements of truth (CCTW as well come to think of it), though only one of those tends to provide detail. And, as always, it's how one presents themselves as to how they're received/liked.

Well said. You have spoken for me as well. Thank you.

The big scoop is it's Bateman, apparently we're a chance, damn I thought we had him

Other news on that page is the Dogs are sniffing around Herbie Farnworth, they have a magic pudding salary cap obviously

No Riccio said another big signing after Bateman

 

[gallagher]

To be fair you should say King Pascoe 👑 as he's done the hard work getting our coffers in the position they are. Sheens moving players on helps but credit due to King of the flopsweats.

The NRL grant covers the salary cap. Our coffers don't pay the players.

I just see McQueen and Packer in Bateman and Klemmer.

I think we’ve been conditioned to see things like that as a Tigers fan. Sad really

 

[851]

Yep, it may be announced with the Bateman signing if it goes to plan.

I like the cut of your jib

For 2023 which possibly gives you a hint and it can't be Woods (no disrespect)

George Williams maybs?

 

[Garrry]

I wouldnt be so sure. ESL salary cap is AUD$3.73M. there is dispensation for local juniors and they are allowed two marquis players, but there is no money in the ESL anymore. Money isnt keeping them over there.

I'm not the brightest star in the sky, if the ESL salary cap is aud$3.73M why doesn't Sheens go all out for Welsby, plays the important spine positions we need improvement, fullback and 5/8 before another nrl club makes an offer for him, and would be cheaper than moses and munster.
SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN

If it is, Doueihi may be in the centres or

Welsby can play, he is actually really good

For a club that's meant to have stopped the leaks seems to be a lot of info getting out about possibles and probables, reasons why etc....no secrets in NRL just got figure who is worth listening to.

Pretty sure the Bateman stuff got out because the whole England squad were talking about it at the WC. Don't think alot of it is coming from the club these days

 

[KevB]

Nah. He's shit. been shit for a decade, will be shit until he retires and takes up his rightful position as a ball in dwarf bowling.

Luke Brooks is 160cm (6 ft ) tall, I don't think that qualifies him to participate in disability sports in the classification of dwarfism.
I don't get why some of the posters on here think it is funny to put down people with disabilities, it shows a lack of respect for people with disabilities and should be banned on this forum.

You've actually got me there and I didn't know it was so cut and dry.

Sign Moses, make him captain
Benji will become a premiership winning coach

Just on that point, the captaincy will be a very interesting decision.
Sometimes the coach doesn’t have to stress about it coz the most appropriate choice becomes clear to all.
No need to force that issue, and may change during the season anyway.
Imo I doubt even if MM joins us, he would get that gig.
