Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Harvey]

Did I read somewhere that Moses looks like joining us for 24 provided Brooks is still here?
The club might not extend Brooks until Moses signs so you never know.
Some are saying it's done but some are saying we have a meeting with him next week so that doesn't add up.
Anyone in the know know if this meeting has happened or happening?

IMO Moses coming back would be massive so fingers crossed 🤞

Sorry, but I can’t help thinking we are being played by a manager.

Don’t Brooks & Moses share the same manager?

A month ago it was that Moses would come on the condition that Brooks was released to sign a big contract at Newcastle (& manager gets a percentage).

Now he is coming as long as we keep Brooks (& pay the manager his percentage of a new contract).

Sounds like a lot is happening.

Bateman announcement can't be far now.

If it actually happens. I’m gonna wait till it’s official cause sometimes “ there’s many a slip, tween cup and lip”.

Speaking of managers, it’s great that Bwaith is off our radar !

Welsby can play, he is actually really good

Offer Welsby I don't know $800,000 / $850,000, if its true Bulldogs are after moses 2024 parramatta will be cashed up to replace him, tiger's should get in first

 

[bigsiro]

I would not pay $1.4 million for Moses , would go to $900,000 maybe $1,000,000
Would chase Williams the pm 1/2 , better value at around $700,000

We are the worst team in the NRL. If any team will be gouged it’s us. But this is hardly gouging anyway.
Besides, I’d just about pay 1.4 just for a goal kicker! So many games are won on small margins. How much more so a classy in-field kicker, X factor, speedy and creative half?!

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.

Typo mate but it doesn't take away from the issue KevB raises.

 

[tigerballs]

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

It was almost common knowledge at the WC that WT made offers to Bateman and Welsby, along with Williams and one or two others. Whether anything comes of it or not, who knows but the money's on the table.

Brooks 180 cm

Is that real cm's or something else. I guess we will see at the bbq.

Anyway I bought my kid one of his jerseys and he must have REALLY long legs if he's 181 real cms

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

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

Better not be Woods that would add a dampener to Batemans signature

Agreed. And with the proposed cap raise on the table from the ARL, the 1.1-1.4 figure isn't quite the gouge it normally would be.

Calling guys Gimps, that are 180cm by people who are probably 170cm or less is laughable !
Shows the level of absurdity they have gone too, immature is to nice to describe the vitriol these fools should be called.

Check the website ! Or your kid has a really long body. Ha!

 

[Merlot]

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

we as a all of us need to climb out of the bog hole and stake a claim

160cm is 63 inches which is 5 ft 3 in

 

[BrissieTiger67]

The discussion on here can be so diverse, sometimes we get bogged down in merger debates, where we should play and what our DNA is. Other times it's much simpler like how tall is Luke brooks really...👍

Which Brooks is not ! Bag him as some do, and i expected more, but he would be one of the best front on defenders for a half back that i've seen, To insult his stature is 12yr old kid bully behavior.
