Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

For whoever is watching the Penrith vs Parra trial.

I really like the look of Jesse McLean will struggle to crack there squad and looks polished as a prospect could be

I am and I can't believe Jordan Rankin is still playing. He looks, moves and plays like a 60 year old. Up there for the title of the worst Tigers player in history, and to think Taylor basically ran Addo Carr out of the club looking for an opportunity because of his love for Rankin

I seriously believe Bellamy sunk Melbournes 2021 title defence by replacing Hynes with Paps when he came back from injury. Melbourne were setting point scoring records with Hynes at 1

Yeah, master-stroke 🤦🏻

Hynes was close to the best player that season.
Papz is good but Hynes was on another level.

His story is a good one too.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Agree, Naden and Ken on the left.

Tupou, Scolari, Hill, Bula, and anyone else has to start in reserves and play well enough to take the position of Ken. All of them will benefit from a stint in reserves to work on their game.

So far Scalari did not impress me, his defence is au pair with Nofoaluma🙁

Don’t think Bula and Scolari can play until round 10. I think Bula will play round 10

With all due respect, these are professionals who are paid very well to do this every day.

And train 5 days a week ! What are they practising ? Forget about Benji running plays, just focus on doing the basics really well.

 

[Halbrowne61]

I’d say Tupou is most likely,even still ,very raw.

No, he’s mediocre at best !

 

[KingRobbie]

No, he’s mediocre at best !

Is also 20 years old.

Sheens sure isn’t making them practice defence. Something he should be doing.

We could've probably signed Burton and Hynes for the money we were paying Brooks and Reynolds last year lol.

But good thing we kept Brooksy, failed the first 10 years but the 11th will be his!!!

If only we could do all our recruitment in hindsight huh.

Wouldn’t have been hindsight. A number of people on here wanted those guys and were shouted down.

That's not what sefarth said.

 

[Fingers83]

You already know he’s signing with the roosters now 😂

Well they have to do better because that was pathetic. I know we weren’t full strength but it was still pathetic the way we played.

Is Ken fit finally?

Yeah Naden is alright. He can play.

Talau surely can’t start in round 1. Quite frankly, I’d have Staines on the wing and Laurie at fullback. Other centre is undecided.

Takes two to tango mate...they gotta want to come here too

He’s running without a knee brace Ken that’s all I know. As for Talau he’s gotta go back to Cup he’s clearly not ready for first grade again.

 

[KingRobbie]

Backline for Round 1 will be:
1. Laurie
2. Nofoaluma
3. Naden
4. Kepaoa/Talau/To’a
5. Maumalo

That last centre spot is still up for grabs, I reckon.

Kepaoa would be leading the race at the moment. Talau struggled hard the whole game and To’a hasn’t played yet.

Yep out of AJ and To’a
