Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He once told me that he could never play for Manly. Just saying.

It is what it is.

I can’t believe Amone’s name is being mentioned as a possible signing. He is facing serious jail time for alleged chasing a tradie off a two story roof where the fall seriously injured him. All this after his family trashed the guys car and people want to sign him to potentially win football games. Serious reality check needed in my opinion.

I mean.. we signed Api.

And what was API charged with?

You should join the clubs next recruitment meeting in July. Today they had a big morning tea to celebrate selling another box of hats online.

Been waiting all day to read your annual sponsors breakfast crack….

think 2024 Sheens will re-sign Brooks around the bye week (it is pretty close to being done, further 2 years)

Go after Wighton

6. Wighton
7. Brooks
9. Api

Wighton is absolutely no good playing outside Brooks. They are both running players with low IQ and no ability to steer the team about. Difference is Wighton is an absolute weapon of an athlete where Brooks is impish.

Wighton is a glorified centre.

Brooks is a water boy.

If he leaves the raiders i reckon he'd link up with old mate Latrell

Average is 112 pages before heads of agreement , then 64 pages before a top 8 club announces the signing.

And a role in Rustys next movie.

Sezar has matured.

We just need a calm head to control the team, like Benji did at south's in the final year.

We ain't getting a Cleary type.
Sezar will play the Chad Townsend role.
That's what we need, not this erratic Luke Brooks sub par nonsense.

9 Api

That does it for me.
George Williams could be another option for 7 though.

Flanagan. 4 years 700k per year

I think this is an underestimated point. Very few players come here and improve. Many, many players leave and become better player. There is something seriously wrong with this club.

I don't think that's true at all.

I can give you a very very long list of Tigers players who left and did nothing afterwards, a very long list. And we've often had a good history of players getting better when they arrive, e.g. guys like Marty Taupau, Fa'amanu Brown, first year Stefano, AJ Kepaoa, Harry Grant, Corey Thompson, Chee-Kam, JAC etc.

I think, instead, there are two other issues:
(1) we struggle to get more players getting better all at once - it's not that nobody improves, it's that the whole team does not lift together. E.g. Joffa was tremendous in 2022, hardly spotted so far 2023. Stefano and Laurie great in 2021, rubbish last year. Their better seasons did not coincide. It's the same reason we failed to make the finals even with players like Tedesco and Benji.

(2) It's very hard for a player to improve in a struggling side, and much easier to do so in a team that's doing well. Does anyone truly think Lachlan Ilias would be steering the Tigers towards finals football if he was our halfback, compared to just doing his job at Souths and having much of the pressure removed by Walker or Latrell? Ilias kicked the winning FG last week, but only after Latrell missed his shot and Manly not entirely expecting that Ilias would take a kick.

Lewis Dodd and Welsby double deal from St Helens

No point the club entertaining the idea of Jack Wighton coming here, there are a host of better, more successful clubs already lining up showing interest.

The Tigers will just have to offer more money per year and more years then like they do when they sign anyone else
