Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[WT2K]

The Tigers have 28 players signed for next season, and do not have to add their final two spots until the middle of the year. John Bateman is expected to fill one of those spots before the season kicks off, while Parramatta’s Nathan Brown has met and impressed Sheens, but the club are mindful of having too many middles.

Randwick captain’s bold bid to earn stripes as prop with Wests Tigers

This is why Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens was happy to hand a $1000-a-week train-and-trial contract to Randwick’s rugby captain.

Dylan Napa released from his SL club. Surely he's off to the Dragons. Griffin loves a cut-price player who used to be good.

Nah the Hook usually signs players who are getting paid by their old clubs.

Heard the club has an answer and something will come out Friday

I think it’s obvious to assume we’ll announce something this week. With Xmas around the corner, most clubs will be looking to announce a signing for a final Xmas drive on membership. Happens most years.

They’ll probably announce another signing once the fan fare wears off in the new year too. Pretty standard corporate sales tactic.

If true, no way it's us based on that phrasing. Will be parra

 

[SeanT]

I would love to be wrong but

Gus normal MO - stay quite, be cryptic, then boast

1) Gus and team have been very quite
2) Gus hinted to Bulldogs fans expect a good Christmas present
3) Lee apparently told someone at the Christmas BBQ it was 90% done - he is the ultimate KOD
4) We were in a bidding war with clubs in better positions than us

Gus wouldn't know anything about Moses when he quoted a good Christmas present Prob Burton getting resigned.

Bateman

So if that is true you would have to think its a No. No way could they get a Yes, have all the T's crossed and I's dotted and registered by the NRL by Friday.

Or he signed the contract at the meeting we had with him and we have to wait for everything to become official which will be on Friday

You realise we've met his team several times, drafted and presented them with a contract offer.
All that remains is for MM to sign his contract , and any other tpas his agent has accrued.

If it's all in the works his signing could be finalised with whichever club in an hour or two. Sure then they get quotes for press releases, organise the announcement etc. But all those happen very quickly when they need to

 

[1eyedmel]

Most of our signings seem to be announced on Friday. Being there has not been an announcement as yet on MM signing somewhere else thus far, I am now very confident that we have him secured. Where has the Pom and Cloudy Glock been,I don't recall any updates recently from them.

 

[fainty]

Ok today my gut tells me he’s off to the bulldogs!

Who knows but any announcement we make will relate to WT news.
IMHO If he’s going elsewhere then that club will announce it.

We've finally signed Curtis Rona!!!! Surely!!!!

 

[the_third]

Not unlike us really, except we always used to pay overs for cut price performance.

 

[The Chad]

When was that meeting again? Could it be that he has passed the 2 week cooling off period players get on signing?

 

[happy_tiger]

We almost signed Dylan Napa once before ...a certain member told me and that was when I started the no rangas policy ...3 or 4 years ago from memory

 

[851]

There is no cooling off period anymore
