Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

sorry to break in to whatever you guys are going on about

I assume this guy is outside the top 30


TIGERS BOLSTER FORWARD PACK

Tim Sheens has signed yet another forward as his overhaul of the Tigers top 30 continues after taking the reigns ahead of the 2023 season.

The master coach has already signed the likes of Apisai Koroisau, Isaiah Papali’i, David Klemmer and John Bateman — and has now set his sights on a Manly young gun.

James Roumanos, 23, has reportedly signed with the merger club according to WWOS and will ply his trade for the Western Suburbs magpies in the NSW Cup.

Roumanos made his NRL debut last season and has only featured in first grade once.

The middle forward was a member of the Bulldogs 2021 NRL squad before making the move to Manly ahead of the 2022 season.

Roumanos has previously represented Australia as a schoolboy and was an impressive performer for Lebanon at the World Cup late last year.

Yeah it is really a nothing story. On a NSW Cup contract. Might even be lucky to get a run in that grade with some promising forwards coming through the grades. Would be for depth only.
 
Don’t have an issue with different opinions at all? In fact I’ve never stated I’m a Sheens supporter or otherwise. Although I’m apparently a ‘Sheens fluffier’ 😂🤷‍♂️
To be honest I just don’t see the point in the constant sookery from the baggers on here?
It’s not going to make a difference? The contracts are signed, it is what it is? You can either accept reality and get onboard and try and offer some positive support to the club or sulk and [This word has been automatically removed] about the coach or whatever players you don’t like. I’m almost certain many on here want to see there whipping boys fail so they can blow there own insignificant trumpet on the fan forum, more than they want to see the club improve and succeed. I mean you all say ‘I hope I’m proven wrong’, but you really don’t sound like that’s true at all?
So yeah, it’s not the different opinions, it’s more the perpetual whining and judgmental snipes of some ‘supporters’ (???) that I get sick of listening too.
You know?
There was no issue from my end till you came at me inciting a further response from another forummer to have potshots and Im not convinced that any of you properly read the comment that initially instigated it - which centred on the danger of Sheens or anyone talking up young players before they have achieved anything. Still think it's a valid argument for a whole lot of reasons, and seen it impact on player and the cred of person who labels them.
I'm perfectly open to you or anyone else who want to take me task on that through rational discussion - but that's not the position you took and very different to the approach of this post.
Bygones now as far as I'm concerned.

It wouldn’t surprise me if signing news slows down until the CBA is agreed.

The players association have formally advised players not to sign any contract until CBA/NRL terms agreed & signed.

Will be really interesting if some players who have agreed to terms with a club and CBA sees increased terms & financials changing if any players decide to retest the market & sign with a different club.

Like this depth signing - have heard good things and was impressed with his work for Lebanon at the WC.

Wouldn't be surprised if he gets a run in first grade at some point if there's a few injuries

When you have players like Daley Cherry Evans on the leadership group then you know the players association isnt very relevant. He like a lot of players just want them selves to get ahead. Are there any minimun wage players and woman in leadership roles discussing the CBA? Doubt it
