Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Turuva > Staines, Laurie

Interesting.
Believe it when I see it

Good to see the club are proactive in their hunt for a fullback. Turuva could be the next big thing.

I would promote Wakeham into the halves or Chris Smith after round 11.

Why bother getting a backup half?

Simpkin, if he played the full 80 minutes would be a target for all teams and you'll see us letting through 20 points per a game due to it.

Api himself can only play 60-70 minutes redlined, hence why Simpkin is on the bench.

Simpkins , the Tigers Ben Hunt,LOL.

Seems unlikely - he is in Penrith top 30 and signed till end of 24

Yep, remembering him re-signing not long ago

Ex-NRL star Brett Hodgson new Wallabies defence coach​

Things could change pretty quickly if it’s true that he didn’t get the job to replace may

Actually, not a surprise as Brett was an assistant to Eddie Jones before when Eddie was England Rugby coach:

Brett Hodgson lands rugby union coaching role with England

Former Hull boss Brett Hodgson has been appointed as defence coach for the England rugby union team, working closely with head coach Eddie Jones.

He hasn't been with us for years.

Luckily your not on the coaching staff then , I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts and plays the first 20 or so minutes

He won’t start over Api. Unless Api isn’t able to play or Api is dealing with injury and don’t want him to play many minutes, Simpkin will not start ahead of him.

 

[SeanT]

Really shouldn’t weaken 2 positions to cover for 1.
That said, this scenario is more than likely with this mob.

At the end of his tenure, Sheen's weakened 4 positions to fix 1 position

 

[KCtiger]

Any chance the pom could give us an update?

 

[Demps]

Corey Thompson & Kane Bradley have joined the Tigers 🐯🔥

 

[LUPO]

I doubt it’s true.
Kid yet to hit his prime, playing for the best team in the comp & just promoted to their NRL squad fulltime. Good to dream now and then.

Only thing could think of is they want Staines or Laurie back.

Or hang on to Spencer

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Or hang on to Spencer

They announced he was gone which normally indicates he has a deal signed up.

More than likely JWH.

I guess we’ll find out on Sunday afternoon won’t we champion

I hope Simpkin does well. But he will never outplay Api regardless if Api starts or comes from the bench.

Mayby with Taylan May injured they want Staines back onto the wing this year and we get Turuva as our backup fullback

Nice thinking but from all the press on this kid, u can’t see them letting him go!
