Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tony soprano]

Far out can we get over the dogs shouldn't our main concern be Penrith or the like.

How are we behind other clubs in relation to how we negotiate ?

If you are talking about the media I don't see an issue at all. I read on my phone today that Canberra were preparing to offer David Fifita a big contract if he didn't sign with the Titans.

Are we therefore ahead of Canberra. We signed IP from Parra and it was reported they low balled him. Same as Mahoney. Are we ahead of Parra ?

I don't get the criticism and I don't see how it matters anyway in that all that matters is on field results.

Appreciate your opinion Tigermate. I think everybody knows the Dogs are chasing Moses too (including their current squad) so I don’t see how we’re so different to them in the way we’re going about it. As many have already said, I think the media and player managers drive the narrative more so than the club.

Appreciate all opinions too. Cheers

You could be on to something. Friendlyjordies showed how to clean dirty money using pokies. Wouldn't be surprised if someone in the NRL is using this to pay players extras. It was incredibly easy and untraceable.

Are you suggesting that there are certain pokie machines to play that players are advised to play at their club?

Sorry but that would be a terrible spine ,
Laurie has no experience in the 5/8 roll in 1st grade
AD would dog it as he thinks he is a super 5/8 , his work rate is poor and he is not a great defender
Staines could be a good fullback , but he would need a year in the position
Sorry just my thoughts

They use to do that years ago I was at Sharks one night in the pokie room around midnight and a guy came in put a heap of cash in then he got off when a Sharks forward came in he played the machine for 10 15 minutes then pulled the cash out the old way when you had to call the attendant

Agree but keep it private is all - better business.

Bottom 4 spine

Some of you people are so negative if you think that's a botton 4 spine why don't you p#%% off and support someone else

Settle down no need to abuse people like that. It is a bottom 4 spine.

I'm insinuating that people in our club leak to the media and not just leak, but leak the wrong narratives which don't serve us - whereas other clubs not as much - which I can only assume from the amount and content put out by the media.

There is a difference between pure speculation by the media and speculation based on what we are giving them.

I am only stating this because I want us to get the best results possible and I think Canterbury are beating us at the moment off the field. Hope I'm wrong though.

Thats just opinion - there is no evidence whatsoever backing your insinuation. If you look at most of the reports in the media about WT these days it is always an unnamed source close to the club or its been reported that ...The club no longer bites back at these media hacks on fishing expeditions. They don't do it to Canterbury because Gus is an even lower act than they are.

Agree and Brooks has shown in 9 years that he isn't an NRL level halfback

Moses signed with dogs 3yr deal

Where was this news?

 

[supercoach]

Moses signed with dogs 3yr deal

Not sure where you got your info, but I would imagine your on the money. It would appear we have forced his price up like with all the other fish that got away

I doubt he would be signing a 3 year deal.

Moses signed with dogs 3yr deal

Next year Brooksy is going to cut loose at 7 and prove we don't need Moses. AD to prove himself worth the first 2 million dollar contract in the NRL.

The Tigers to win the comp off the back of these elite talented players.

Good times.

Moses signed with dogs 3yr deal

Breaking news heh?

 

[supercoach]

I doubt he would be signing a 3 year deal.

You might be right, nothing on either the Dogs or the Eels forum. You would expect something would have leaked out if he had put pen to paper

I said it was an assumption
