Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

AD is better off on the bench..
...covering many positions.........

On less money.

 

[hammertime]

Doueihi is potentially our best player but we don't know his position, his defense isn't first grade standard and he has players that can compete with him in basically every position. He is one of our best paid players as well so having competition in all the spots you can play him doesn't help his career.

Yep. He's a Tim moltzen or Moses mbye.

 

[earl]

The four players you quoted at the time they signed with us did not have any other club chasing them.

Excluding Bateman they are all elite players in their positions. Bateman may actually be elite as well but time will tell.

I don't believe they didn't have other potential options.

Do you think we were going to play Brooks at 6 if we got MM .. ?? 🤔🤔 If we got MM it was going to be MM to 7 .. and AD 6 as per the way they lined up for the Ceders at the World Cup .. 😉😉

“you can’t touch this”

Maybe. It's all reading the tea leaves. If I was running the club I'd see who performed better out of the two of them and then offer them a contract extension with fair dollars for their performances.

 

[earl]

Yep. He's a Tim moltzen or Moses mbye.

I think he is a much better player than those two guys but this is where his career is heading. Hopefully next season he turns it all around.

Speaking of Tim.

Remember how he always asked he wingers to to do the kick returns?

I was watching the 2009 parra v tigers match and he did a blatantly obvious one to Taniela Tuiaki the same run he did his ankle. If we had a proper fullback that takes the run as it's the fullback job taniela doesn't get the injury.

Agreed, but one is not enough,both halves need to be quick and smart. Thats obviously what Sheens is looking for. When you look at the top sides, they all have these players. Many factors make a great side,--The forwards, we have done well, The spine,- Api the only certainty, so 1, 6, 7, still up in the air. The outside backs,--hope the young talent comes through.
FB- Stains may work , 6 and 7 - a big question mark, but trying to get Moses shows how important this position is. I think that the pursuit of a good halves combination, is top priority for the club.
Sheens likes speed, and so do i Ha!

with the likes of Api, Bateman, Klem, Papali'i, Stains all joining.. the thing im looking most forward to is Sheen & Benji having them play more eyes up footy.
The defence will be much better through the middle and around the edges. I’m not as confident about the D out wide Or at FB.

Do you know anything for sure @tigerap ?

Yep..was told he is not taking up our offer...some clever negotiating by Isaac Moses..All will become official late this or early next week

that's why we sent Hastings to Newcastle lol

Negotiating or Issac has screwed or used us again?

Thanks for the info.

Well, I guess Plan B is already turning its cogs.

 

[Demps]

Wa


Was also at Parra and gave Union a crack - if he was going anywhere, he’d be there by now…

That confidence he has might get him a little ahead of himself.

Guy is on IG driving Mercs and wearing Gucci... not sure if he's got money like that or he's borrowing his girlfriends stuff but he's flexing like he's a money maker but he's unemployed 🤔

 

[upthetigers]

And will the Roosters persevere with Walker ???

He signed a new 2-year deal with the Roosters.

tiki looks much fitter

Fitzgibbon gone

Wests Tigers Statement

Wests Tigers have today mutually agreed to terminate the contract of NSW Cup player Allan Fitzgibbon, who was on a train-and-trial deal with the NRL squad.

Tuki still has a rugby union shape. Needs to do more weights.

Getting better though. I'd keep for another year and see how he develops

 

[240z]

The factory that made them was on Australia ave. Homebush, iirc.
Had a big "laundry" area out back where they'd stonewash the denim on site.
Ahh . . . the good old days of stuff being made in Oz.

I remember back in the mid 70's there was an add on TV when the Amco Cup was on with a guy playing pool with the Master Apprentices song Because I love you playing in the background.
I loved that add
And I still love that song
I would to find that add on youtube somewhere

We dont need AD to play in the centers .. we have Naden, Talua, Reilly, Tupou, To'a and Feledy can all play there. AD is better off when the ball is in his hands, like at 6.

All those centres are ordinary or not ready.

Douhie just needs to work on his game. Especially defence

 

[JRDee]

Ben Houston is the union guy you're talking about.

He'll play in the first trial game.

Hope he turns out as good as Garrick Morgan did

Nah...
"We dont need AD to play in the centers .. we have Naden, Talua, Reilly, Tupou, To'a and Feledy can all play there."

Naden is a cut above and IMHO outperformed AD last year (fewer games though). Plus we have Staines who is most definitely a star centre.

AD doesn't want to play in the centres and has defensive issues... If Moses comes I hope AD likes Blue and Yellow.

The four players you quoted at the time they signed with us did not have any other club chasing them. Ok Parra realised they had made a massive mistake with IP after the horse had bolted. We also had got our cap in order and one of the very few teams who had cap space. Joey M will never leave the Chooks and the young Kid will either stay with the Chooks or take crazy money from rugby

Rubbish. Parra chased Api hard and Warriors chased IP.
