Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Too be fair, I agree with him on Bateman and Api, Api 100% should have started last week, and if Bateman is fit as Tim reckons, he should be in the team.
The Bulldogs stuff is true, they don't like to upset Gus for some reason, the Dogs were just as worthy as us to be blasted in the media, but they aren't, and I would guess it is because of Gus

Each to there own, api not playing any football before that game. He’s also not an 80 minute player, so bringing him on after the sting is out of the game is not a bad idea. But sheens should of brought him on after the first try was scored against us. After the second it was to late. Have to move with the game.

We couldn’t do much worse atm in the centers and need to find something soon.

Well with 30 spots filled it will be internally, for now.

Could be a squeeze at the Roosters in the number 1 position. Reading between the lines, they look to be targeting keeping Suaalii to be their long term fullback and might not be offering Teddy any contract beyond 24. He is pushing for an extension.

Is it worth offering him 4 years on the assumption he comes this year? Roosters might be willing to let him go straight away to appease Suaalii and it gets Teddy another 2 years on his existing deal to probably see him out with his career.

Not sure whether the Tiges have identified an internal gun prospect though and don’t want to block their path? Bula maybe with Dane filling the breach until he / another is ready?

I was thinking about the last junior player/s we had that really excited me and I couldn't wait until game day to watch them play. For me it was Benji and Farah and they just made me excited to watch them, but I have not seen anyone that excites me like that since.
This is no disrespect to Stefo, Bloar, AD, etc etc... but do we have a top line player like this coming through that everyone will be excited about or de we need to find that player from another junior system.
People have talked up Bula but I have not watched much of him to comment but fingers crossed

@88 nice idea but it's not going to happen.

Da Silva looks to be a prospect worth being excited about.

Api did not have the best of starts.

He'll be fine.

Still getting up to speed with that calf injury that kept him out of trials.

Hope so, Joe O missed the off season with a calf injury too.

Tiger's should do what Wayne Bennett has done, ( katoa ) go to the strongest junior club and make a offer to a young champion 7 who has no chance of playing nrl cause of great players already in the top team for a fraction of the price before bulldog's sign them, ( volkman 20 yo? the parra junior Saunders? )

Pezet at Melbourne

Anyone know what is going on with Triston Reilly?

Nowhere to be seen in state cup...and not a word from the club.

One of the only NRL players not included in Raiders trial.

Hopefully they are trying to offload him back to Union and free up an NRL spot for James?

He is suspended for the first two games, something happened in last game of NSW cup last year

Josh Feledy is also a fine centre prospect. He has been single handedly changing games from what I have seen.

Pretty sure Kent has mates that are Tigers fans. Reckon he gives it to us to stir up his mates

Kent's got mates?

 

[hank37w]

Don’t mind Miller at all. As for Ponga he is exactly the type of player that has a blinder against us.

Ponga is generally injured and doesn't get to play against us, but then someone else always steps up and destroys us.

Not going to be surprised if we get lapped on Sunday but hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Kent turned when Madge got sacked. I spoke to him while Maguire was coach and at that time he was as supportive of us as could be considering how bad we were. At the time he was trying to counter Crawley and Buzz as much as possible but as soon as Madge went he became the leader of the attacks.

His attitude was so bad on 360 last year that he accepted he is one the most hated guys in the game and is now deliberately trying to get under everyone's skin. He needs to be sacked IMO.

A potential target for us then on a long term deal??????

Skip the formalities like medicals, just sign him up now for 5 years, and of course money is no object.
