Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I am concerned about the Stains contract of only 1 yr,. He is without even playing, a better player then the Tigers have in the backline. I think he will kill it at Fullback, and if not, a very good winger or even centre. He is a true speedster, only 22, and will only get better. If he goes well, other sides will pounce and we will lose him. With a dearth of talent in the backs, and a few ordinary players retained that would not outrun Tamu, i'm at a loss to understand why !

An announcement as early as next week could contain information regarding John Bateman. This announcement just might contain a little sweetener if everything goes to plan over the weekend.

Players Daine Laurie, Adam Doueihi, and Alex Seyfarth have not had their contracts extended for now, Tim believes and is hoping this might get a response from certain players.

In regards to Brooks, Hastings and Newcastle, both Tim and Benji both believe they can get more out of Brooks rather than Hastings. Also Hastings wanted an upgrade in his contract to which the Tigers declined but Newcastle agreed to.

Ken Maumalo still struggling on his knee after off season surgery, both Shawn Blore and Tommy Talau who missed most of last season but both players are looking pretty fit and ready to go, particularly Tommy, he has put some extra bulk and and would be tipping over 100kgs easily.

All the new kids on trial and train contracts are all trying their hardest to impress coaches Sheens and Marshall. Also at training are Will Smith and Charlie Staines. Watching Staines he is rather quick, quicker than i thought.

There's a difference between Sleeping on and getting super excited about a kid who's done very little....
Potential is one thing, There's plenty of other things to consider as well.

There was a kid we had in the juniors a while back, Went to Parra then came back - Played for Fiji in a test or the world cup Salesi Fainga'a....
He had about as much potential as any kid you'd see a few years back....

I don't even know where he is now.

Tupou was going well in state cup. Should have gotten an extended run in first grade given last year’s disaster and injuries to outside backs.

We picked Pauga over him.

I am not sure what it means moving forward given that Sheens was hiding in the background directing Noddy
