Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tigermate]

Just had dinner with my accountant whose son is in the Parra full time squad. He told me that Mitch told the boys on a night out over the weekend that he was staying at the Eels. Take that how you want.


Also though Mitch tonight put up a story on instagram that Penisi resigned … why would he do that if in two days he’s going to ditch the Eels?

Anyway hope he comes but those two things are not great signs


@THE_POM … any thoughts on this? You think Thursday is turning into a thanks but no thanks face to face to be decent to sheens and benji?

Ok so what’s the plan if we don’t get Mitch?

I would say we run with Brooks and AD and if they play well behind this new pack they will be resigned. Could look at George Willaims also

Considering he has always said the club is VERY confident that he is coming here, you would think not.

You’re right about Mitch’s IG story congratulating the re-signing of Penisi .
I’m still hoping The Poms mail is solid and delivers us Mitch

Says it all really

Hard not to get excited about the prospect of MM potentially coming but until it happens I’m sitting in the position of it won’t happen.

Plan A

Moses was always a long shot - just hope that it hurts Parra's cap longer term!

I remember Woodsy congratulating Brooks on re-signing as he was plotting his escape.

I find it hard to get excited at the prospect to be honest!

It is 0.0001% chance - but that doesn't make it as valuable as most things that come at those odds!

For a lawyer, he doesn't seem to lie very well.

Hahaha yeah you can tell straight away how he answers that question
Pretty obvious Moses has toured the COE

You must remember Woodsy is as dumb as dogshit.

I’m afraid the news on Thursday won’t put a smile on WT supporters dial… my info as of tonight is he will officially tell Sheens he is staying at Parra…

I'm cool with it. I think he is exactly what we need but it's big money on the cap and Moses can be inconsistent.

Still looking forward to next season.

Honestly...I have followed the Tigers 40 plus years and we have never landed a marquee player who had options.

Aside from Poms and players unwanted at their clubs, we have literally never landed one...often wasting months chasing someone.

Policy needs to be changed to "here is our offer...with a timeframe".

People in posts above laughing at Gus dropping out to sign a kid....that kid is the Aus schoolboys seven AND captain...he will be a gun.

You grab players when you can...and should never wait months like we did for LM, JAC, Moses etc etc.

We always sit waiting for the phone to ring...

Kennedy and Connor Tracey provide a bit of depth.

Kennedy is first choice. Conner for sure but he's being going Al right at centre

That is the game. You gotta give it a shot. Api, Klemmer, IP and Bateman are a pretty good group of signings.

I think Gus going out he obviously felt or knew something.

I’m not gonna knock the club too much but just shows that when Lee says “we’ve shown interest” and he thinks we’re still an option when the ship has sailed is another example he can’t read the room.

Hopefully we didn’t move on Hastings with the thought moses was a sure thing.

I won't be to worried if he stays at the Eels. He's what we need for 2024. By 2026 he's not what we need. Him taking up 1.4 mill is a big chunk of the cap.

The kid hasn't played first grade yet. Heard plenty of guns but most fizzle out in the first two years. See what happens.
