Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

No scoop.

Off contract and they just re signed Dykes.
Got some big money players in the squad.

Seems a realistic option.
Depends on the money I'd say.
Sure he doesn't want to leave Sharks - but everyone has their price.

Moses did and it was less than we offered so the lure of a premiership will keep him at the Sharks more so than the dollars we offer. It's not everything to some people.

 

[Tiga]

Yep two high flyers, he’s the next Andrew Johns.

I doubt that but 2-2 sounds 100% better than 0-4

It's the way we are 0-4. We have played 4 rubbish teams (yes Storm have about 6 out and are playing rubbish). And havnt looked like winning. Attack is boring and predictable and our edge defence is soft as butter as usual.

We were never going to make the finals but everyone wanted improvement. Can see us 0-8 for sure.

The way we're going it will probably be 1-6 after 7 weeks

Jack Wighton & George Williams

We should go hard for these 2 & rekindle their relationship from the Raiders (with Bateman as well).

We probably have the largest salary cap room (from next season) & possibly more room if we do not re-sign Brooks & Laurie and release Nofa.

Wighton is 30 and will be seeking his final contract and I would assume we could blow the Raiders out of the water with an offer. His Player Option for next season is a reportedly $900k.

Getting him and having Bateman could also prove a lure for Williams.

Having these 2 and Api in our spine and a lower budget x-factor fullback like a Connor Tracey would be amazing.

They would all provide experience, leadership & mongrel and immediately changes us.

Open the chequebook Sheensie & Benji!

Grab him and Williams would be outstanding as long as Brooks is gone.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Your guess is is good as mine… but I seriously doubt it.
Love to see you prove otherwise though.
If you did I’d be happy for Hastings though.
One report had him now on $580,000.
Same story had Bateman on $520,000.

when it ones to salaries agree reporters don't really know Brooks is case in point anywhere from 900k to 1.3 million was mentioned...
I don't begrudge any player getting paid whatever they can career's can be short

He’s honestly worth 1million to us

Release doughi and brooks we would still have money to go after an organising 7

 

[balmain boy]

Highlights showed attack was really clicking for them lots of players moving forward on to the ball.

But they were also playing a weak opponent, compared to previous weeks where they played the stronger teams in the comp.

Halfback and fullback are sadly two of the weak spots in that SG ball side.

 

[tigerap]

When’s he off contract?

end of 2024

 

[tigerap]

He

He’s honestly worth 1million to us

Release doughi and brooks we would still have money to go after an organising 7

He is 30 and looking for a 5 year deal $1m+ per year... I'd give him 3 years max at $850 p.a.

 

[Speed2burn]

I think Api and Papalii must be starting to think what the f--- have I done plenty of money but fast becoming a nobody .A bit like Cameron Smith in golf sold his sole money for 10 lifetimes but playing in nothing tournaments that nobody gives a shit about

Api will see out his contract imo he only ever saw the tigers as a holiday destination & and knew the shit show he was getting into

Ice on the other hand … no way

Damn we missed out ..

 

[dazza65]

If the recruitment team can secure Williams, Wighton and release Brooks and the dough man...all will be forgiven from my end.

 

[AL The Tiger]

Get Wighton, Williams and Welsby over here ASAP. We have a war chest, use it. Gutho another option but could never imagine him coming here.

1. Welsby
6. Wighton
7. Williams
9. Koroisau

 

[Spacecub]

For what we intended to fork out for that Muppet Moses, we would probably pick up both of them

1. Welsby

That is a top 4 spine any day of the week. We can dream.

 

[Spacecub]

Just had a thought uncle nic will hear wighton is available, Luke keary will be mysteriously medically retired, and out will come another brown paper bag with wightons name on it

 

[Don Kershane]

Do we have Tiger wrestling leotards in the merchandise shop?
