Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

What is with all this Nathan brown talk coming from

Parramatta want him gone....

I wonder why !?

He said never say never to a Tigers return.
Just trying to find a new home, I guess.

If he can start trailing through the middle he will climb up the ladder of fullback quality significantly.

23 will be our first year we will have forwards a fullback can trail.

Then we have no one who can play second row

Looking forward to seeing if Blore is actually a first grader. No excuses if he has two stars in Paps and Bateman to show him how to be a pro. Get Bateman done.

Laurie is just too small IMO. Need a bigger frame at the back.

I really Laurie he will a good first grade five eight. He has early pace but cannot sustain it for what is required as fullback. With his early speed he is much better suited as a first grade five eight.

Laurie had no hope of shining playing behind what most weeks was a beaten pack and an attack structure that rarely had the same two key players together at any time during the season. The few games we competed he played well. Shows courage on the field which for this club to move forward is a key quality. Given the time some have been given to shine behind a beaten pack unless you can get RTS or the like he deserves the opportunity to play behind some better quality players to see what he can offer.

IIs' been rumored a Syd based club has offered Nanai 4.2M over 5yrs. Imagine all the Bateman talk was a smokescreen for the real prize.

I believe the Tigers have made an offer

Is it rude to take them all?

Life must be so tough for the old bugger...

Brown paper bags style

needs to arrange a meeting with "the Big Guy" to learn about brown paper bags

 

[liltiger]

Bateman ?

Don't think Klemmer could ?

 

[Masterton]

I'll be happy with Blore if he's fit. Has plenty to work on in attack, but he's one of the best young defensive back rowers I've seen.

Big call, hope your right.

I really don't think it is a big call. It seems to me that young backrowers always get a lot of attention for their attack. I had shitloads of non-Tigers mates raving about Kelma, not noticing how dreadful his defence was. I'd love to have Nanai, but he's almost as bad at times.

Talk down the local pub last night in WTs territory was that Chris Heighnington was being brought back to work at the club with the Pathways. I know Benji and Farah are great mates with him - could be some truth in it.

Ah ok great. Always a fan of Heighno.

Hope next season we can get a full year to see what Blore has to offer been a bad batch of time for him injury wise

He must think he’s Gus.

Brown is also not the answer.
I'd personally select Matamua as I think with the support of the new signings he would have a better chance of finding his feet quickly, mentors of Klemmer, Bateman and Papi with Api giving him clean ball would take the pressure of him.
Brown would come in with an attitude that we don't want or need.
Didn't we publicly state we were a development club? Matumua fits that sales pitch.

So youre banking on a rookie yet to play first grade, but hell find his feet quickly...however Nathan Brown will arrive with an attitude thats all wrong...not a bad imaginative effort
