Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The club probably want to ship Seyfarth but from all the footage and images of the pre season he looks to be standing outside of Klemmer looking to link up. He may have a role this season. Can see him improving with better players around him. 2nd phase yardage guy.

What's more he is a loose unit and plays with heart.

Yeah if signing Moses is contingent upon Brooks being resigned for another 3 years, that's insanity. He should earn the next contract like they're expecting Laurie and Doueihi to.

I get it however Brooks would probably be the main reason Moses would come.

If it was just about cash he would’ve signed by now.

It’s either going to be Brooks/Moses for next few years or we will be watching Moses run out for the Eels and we move into lottery territory of who knows for us.

So back to players dictating the terms? sweet, we know how this ends.

Its pretty funny seeing people not wanting Moses over what happened in the past. Reminds me a lot of some members who used to keep the whole "that player doesn't belong here because he has been naughty and doesn't uphold the magnificent standards of our club" vibe. Worked pretty well resulting in more than a decade of absolute mediocrity.

People have short memories .. was only a few years ago no one would go near the wild man called David Klemmer as he was the bad boy of the NRL .. now people are excited about having the beast here. Moses has developed into a decent footballer .. probably rank top tier of half backs currently in the game .. its just unfortunately that he has a very greedy manager. Its not MM fault he is just out to play footy and get paid at the best amount to look after himself and family for years to come .. oh and to look after his manager as well. I'm excited that if we do secure him we have proper attacking half back with a decent kicking game .. and a goal kicker to boot .. (sorry for the pun there) i dont care if its 2024 or 2023 he will add heaps attacking flare to our side, and improve us to be a top 8 team for sure.

Maybe this is another conspiracy theory ...but is Moses trying to help Brook's career at the WT's with all this possibly coming back to the WT's talk ......would you put anything past Issac Moses ....

It's definitely a conspiracy theory that requires incompetence on the Tigers part and unethical behavior on the managers part but it could also be true.

It's all off-putting to me.
 
I'm really keen on watching these new guys on their first run out .. Scolari .. Reilly .. Wakeham .. James .. Tumeth .. Matamua .. Bula .. Hill .. Peni .. Feledy. Especially Reilly at 5/8 .. good luck lads, you're wearing the mighty Tigers jersey do us proud .. !! First game on TV tomorrow night .. waahoo .. bring it on. Stef for Capt .. ??

Are the extra's getting to play as well .. like Chris Fa'agutu and Zane Camroux .. ??

I don't normally get goss but I got some juice I thought I'd share.



kitione kautoga won't be at the club in 2024 and if he gets his way he'll be out the door this year. Hope I'm wrong because I rate this kid big time.



Eels made another offer for Moses but it's still less than ours. Everything the Pom mentioned is 100% spot on. The club is confident and his manager and brother are pushing for him to take the Tigers offer.



Two kids you'll be hearing more of over the years are Michael Nassar and Lachlan Galvin. The club has big wraps on both players.

I don’t agree with it either, we don’t need to as well. But doesn’t mean Moses can’t ask for it. I get why he would ask as well. We also are in abit of a bind with minimal leverage.

What are our options though?

We say no, Brooks performs and we extend him later in the year costing us Moses

We say no, Brooks moves on, we miss out on Moses and left with a lottery pickup

We say yes only if it means Moses comes

Keep in mind AD might not stick around as well which is clear from the way things are playing out he isn’t viewed longterm in the halves either.

We don’t have much leverage here unless we want to just rebuild fully with young halves as the market is very dry.

Seyfarth has the attitude but he lacks the physicality. Here's hoping the S&C team have somehow performed a miracle on his body.

interesting that Kautoga is heading for the exits, but not entirely surprised when he has Papali'i, Bateman and Blore ahead of him long term. seems as if the club rates Tumeth higher as well given Kiti is nowhere to be seen in this weeks team list.

Nassar is Balmain's HM fullback isn't he? another one to add to the list if you include Bula, Laulili'i, Karnib and Kanaan. nice to have a plethora of good young 1's coming through. Galvin is a superstar in the making.

Yeah just seems like one rule for one and one for another.

I guess we can't afford to lose both Brooks and Doueihi so one will have to be locked up to partner with Moses. As long as it's not for big overs I guess.
 
Re ; Fittler as SOO coach. Des Hasler would be perfect for the job,he knows how to get the side up for games. But the inner circle, is still powerful , just like when Arko, and Bullfrog pulled the strings. And it's now become a -- It's a who you know job!
