Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Hi boys, don't feel like going back over pages of posts, but has anyone mentioned a rumour we are interested in will Kennedy from the sharks?

I’ve don’t feel like going back over pages either but the Will Kennedy rumour was mentioned on NRL 360 last night. It makes sense given his dad played with Balmain Tigers in the 90’s.

His dad only retired couple of years ago in his late 40’s.

He took us from coming around 9th-10th and being a win every other week team to an absolute mess.

The defining aspect of our mess right now is 12 years without finals. It's a stat i don't think will be broken anytime soon.

and its the biggest reason most people don't want to come near us. Its symbolic of the shambles the club's management have been in over the past decade

The two girls that came back to his room were above 18 .. however there was another instance whilst in Port Macquarie where he snap chatted a girl for nudes .. under the age of 16 .. so jail bait ..

Bulldogs star asked teen for intimate images, Snapchats reveal​

The career of Jayden Okunbor at the Canterbury Bulldogs looks to be all but over after a series of Snapchat images emerged of the winger seemingly asking a 16-year-old schoolgirl for intimate photos.

Two girls back to his room 18 nothing wrong with that and asking a stranger on Snap chat for nudes nothing new there but would he have known she was under age probably not

He's pretty young man...

He's 24 (Turning 25 this year)

Still hasn't made it as an Outside back at 24, In a comp filled with them from 18-20 on
I don't hold much hope for him....

Goodluck to him....

 

[Nonotmeagain]

Unfounded prediction time.

Either:
Moses announcement this week, he's coming to Tigers and Brooks re-signs for a further 2 years...

Or:
We Miss out on Moses (should know in the next week or so) and Brooks is moved on at the end of the year, leaving us to find brand new halves partners.

Not the worst option how both have been playing.

Shock rugby league rival makes play for 'under-siege' $1.1m Tigers star Luke Brooks​

English club Leeds is considering making a move to sign rugby league's most under-siege player, Tigers halfback Luke Brooks.

Brooks comes off contract at the end of the season and has yet to come to terms with the Tigers for a new deal.

The 28-year-old has struggled in the early rounds - but in fairness to him so have most of his teammates - as the Tigers sit winless at the bottom of the NRL ladder.

There is strong mail coming out of the UK that Leeds may have a look at Brooks for next season.

The Rhinos' halves pairing - Aidan Sezer and Blake Austin - are both coming off contract and the club may look in a different direction.

While Brooks has found the going tough in the NRL in recent seasons, the more open style of Super League may suit him.

The Tigers are unlikely to stand in his way if he decides on a change of scenery as the move would free up a large slice of their salary cap - money they could throw towards the Eels' Mitchell Moses.

Brooks is earning $1.1 million this year from the Tigers.

They can't stand in his way, he is off contract, but rather than stand in his way, they should be trying to do a deal to send him right now and get someone else in

Pascoe to fall on his sword this afternoon is seems. Power play in the background afoot.
This will break everywhere soon.

Can the board follow? Or has this come down from a board recommendation.

I can’t see another Sydney club signing him

Me either, I hope we don't panic and re-sign him, we have already done that and it didn't work

I’m going to be like everyone else, so, sorry in advance.
Any roster news?

Good he's been a huge factor in our mediocrity, despite getting us into a healthy financial position. Money is great but without success it means nothing.

Unfortunately board will basically only change if someone quits or dies at this point.

 

[851]

It’s the getting someone else in is our whole dilemma in a nutshell

We can't just re-sign Brooks because no one else will come, we will just be repeating past mistakes, we need a reset, and rid ourselves of the proven under performers

Any word on what Moses is doing ?

 

[The Fresh Oil]

Such a poor manager right to the end.

If he slipped it into Team List Tuesdays it might've been missed by the media.

Who comes in?

Who behind the power play?

Is MM rumour true as done?

No link between the 2, club hasn't heard from Moses camp in nearly 2 weeks. Club is speaking to other potential options but have stopped short on pulling the offer.

 

[jadtiger]

I certainly wouldn’t resign him based on his first 3 weeks.

I wouldn't re-sign him on his last 10 years even if it is not his fault
