Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[twentyforty]

Most of the players who do not fit imo have been weeded out of the roster.

Flanagan for all his faults, did review the skillsets of his players at the Sharks and formulated a style and game plan to match. This is the opposite of the one sized fits all approach which we are all too familiar with at WTs.

Sheens was always known for his game plans and yes offensive approach - you get 6 or 7 opportunities to score in a game and you must convert 3 or 4 to win a game.

Brooks has had a change of heart after discussions with Marshall in that interview posted on the other thread. He also cheekily mentioned five hit-ups and a kick (not a bomb). So, the change is very real, real enough to have one of our players change his mind about his future. I don't believe it to be bullshit at all..

We’re talking about two different things and I’m halfway through mowing the lawn.

As if players do not ask who will be in the team or likely signings prior to putting people to paper.

You can ask but theres no guarantees
just like when players sign up to play
under a certain coach. Can't dictate
who you want to be there, its absurd

Keep refreshing lads,
News will break any minute...

🙏 Surely.

FWIW, one of the conditions of Moses was the Tigers re-sign Brooks to at least 3+ years

Isaac Moses getting his claws into the club. Before you know it he’s got enough players in your club that he controls you. Very dangerous. If we get M Moses and Brooks is re-signed we should avoid any more Isaac Moses managed players so he can’t pull the rug out from underneath us.

 

[cktiger]

the position in the squad would be what the signing would be about no guarantees about the 17

Let’s be honest.
You have zero idea if that’s true unless you are in on the negotiations.
Can you also tell me the last time a player demanded another player being given a 3 year contract before they signed up themselves?

 

[trentrunciman]

Moses officially rejects tigers

Confirmed yeh?

All good

some players have get out clauses for change of coaches.
No player can demand who is in the 17 they can ask who they might be playing with in a squad for a particular year.

let's see, if we do get Moses which I think we will, how soon after Brooks re-signs

Too late - we already have a few.

Yeh agree mostly. I havnt written any of them off - especially Laurie - and barring injury they all need to demonstrate that they can meet the demands of FG footy at a competive level.
But I firmly believe the lack of leadership on the field has stunted the development of most of our young blokes. I am putting a lot of faith in Api K and Klemmer to address some of that this season and drive some pride/ resilience in their performances.

Didn’t Laurie break his leg?, id imagine mentally it’s not a quick recovery once you’re back on the field hopefully he has a great year in 23 because I really rated him in his debut season

Plenty on here hope never lol
One thing for sure though.... I very much doubt he would get the money he wants here.
He came out in an interview recently and said he would be 'greedy' for his next contract.

I know. I should have said in addition to Klemmer and Bateman as well.

Shout out to @Kul .Well done on the mechanics of the website. runs so smooth with lots of people on it posting every minute or so...and this is the off-season.

If that's the case, I hope he rejects us. Players can't dictate that we sign their mates.

Also, Brooks for 3+ more years is horrible thought.

Eels have offered him an extra year on their original offer which has been enough for him to stay at the Eels
