Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Kent says Tigers; $1.5m Pearce play ‘stinks of desperation’. This is why he could ‘transform them’

What happened to five-year plan? Tigers’ $1.5m Pearce play slammed as an act of ‘desperation’

www.foxsports.com.au

Apparently we're prepared to offer 1.5m for 2 years. A lot of coin for a 34 year old who has been out of the NRL for a few years. A sign of desperation.

It'd be a more baffling move than re-signing brooks to another million dollar contract.

Lock up your dogs!

Why would pearce get 750k a year when he literally has no other options ?

Would probably take that much to pry him away from the South of France to come to this rabble. Absolutely no incentive to leave, he's probably living the life outside the spotlight in a beautiful part of the world.

Gotta spend our excess coin somehow

I thought the dogs would appeal to him.

Sorry to those who support this…but it is a dickhead idea.
Mitch was done years ago.

Maybe Pascoe thinks it Latrell. Can someone email him and tell him Mitchell’s are not Pokémon and he doesn’t need to catch them all.

It's so weird. Commenters on here are acting like we've been smashed 4 times. We have been in all 4 games.

We could have won some of those games if we didn’t have a half that doesn’t have a clue.

There is no way the club will pay him that Much. Media just make it up so they can lag the boot into us I carnt see ya signing him for any more than 300k a year

Yeh sounds crazy but then again it's our club negotiating so it's probably true 😆

Whilst I do agree with you, the sides we played were either lower ranked sides who played like rubbish, or had players missing in key positions. Also I think we won the penalty count in all those games.

Not looking good. Needed to have won 1-3 of those to be taken seriously. We are spoon bound unless something surprising changes.

A near loss against broncs means nothing because it is 0-5.

Jack Wighton has reportedly expressed his desire to move to Queensland.

The Dolphins were mentioned as a club potentially interested in Wighton's services.

Wighton's Raiders option next year is said to be worth around $900,000.

Has this been vetted by the RSPCA?

Geez Pearce for 2yrs, 34 at start of next season.

Retirement home here we come
Positive is he would be better than any half we have had for a very very long time which is saying something.

Talking to a old friend today who came through the Raiders system.

He reckons he heard;

Wighton > Parra
Brooks > Raiders

* I dont believe everything i hear.

don't think Brooks heads to raiders tbh.

 

[weststigerman]

So get rid of Hastings.
Keep Brooks.
Partner Brooks with AD. Turns shit.
Partner Brooks with rookie. Turns shit.
Go to SL and sign 34 year old ( for 2 years lol) to partner brooks. Spoiler…turns shit.


Trust the process lol. Bunch of incompetent clowns. How can one club attract such atrocious management? The odds of having so many morons in one place must be astronomical.

They have no idea what they're doing.

Pascoe is useless, Sheens is past it. How could they possibly only realise now that Brooks is not the 7 to take us forward?

 

[Goldust]

Make it stop

Here's the reality: Pearce's contract is worth 750k in Super League and he is contracted for 23 and 24.

The Tigers did enquire in the off-season about his availability but baulked at the cost.

At no stage was an offer made nor has it been.

Hooper and co know all of this and are actually speculating about a lie to have something to talk about.
