Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Why, on what planet does having Brooks play on again next season make us better, who knows Flanagan might go alright, but if you just keep doing the same thing over and over hoping for a different result it is just insanity. I am not saying sign Flanagan, but if that's all we could get, then I would get behind the decision, at least it would mean we are going to try something different for a change

Who knows? I know, most of us know mate, if Flanagan is our half even you will be preying Brooks was still here.

If the Tigers can't get Sanders I would be happy with Jake Arthur, he is a massive step up on Wakeham and Smith as a foil for Brooks and would blossom not being burdened with his father's club.

The slimeys can go & get fugged, for all I care. I'd be bitterly disappointed in our club if we did the Eels any favours. They are my most hated club. I was at the SFS when the fans booed Taniela Tuiaki for getting injured & he never played another game in the NRL again. I remember they didn't want to sell any tickets to us Tigers supporters for the Easter clash at Commbank a couple of years ago. If Joffa is unhappy about playing time, I'd be fine with him going to any other club other than the Eels.

Blind Freddy and his deaf cousin Eddie knew Maguire would be gone by the time those blokes arrived.
They basically signed to play for Sheens and anyone else except Maguire as coach.

Yep that’s why Ice was hedging coming this year + said he signed to be coached by McGuire
Peddle another story

I think the Dogs are transitioning Flanno to hooker. Apparently doing ok in KOE Cup

I heard them say they'd re-name themselves (ie not tigers) if their bid was successful.

Hahahah... jeeze... taking a step back..

Ìf we get flannigan it will be the same as keeping brooks.

How can the Eels even talk to Joffa without the Tigers saying he can leave? I don't understand the rules around player discussions at all...
Aside from that, do the Eels really need Joffa? He'll just be coming off the bench there too?
This is a strange one.

You can talk to anyone at any time. You just can't get them to sign a contract (or try and Register one anyway) it's all shady as hell

Probably find our club would offer to forgo the Tiger part of our club, and just use the Magpies as our name, to allow them to keep the Tiger set up.

If Gus gets Hunt I will be filthy the bloody koala bear!!

I rate Flanagan a better 7 than Brooks.

I'll caveat that by saying I think Brooks is a better footy player but not at halfback

Just read somewhere that Ravalawa is unhappy too. Big fella knows how to bag a try or three!

They were the Firebirds bid last time

We need halves so would be happy to swap Joffa for Jake Arthur but it doesent nessecwrily mean a swap because we might want to open up a spot for a half from somewhere else.

For our Team Pole can move into the prop rotation and Matamua to lock or Bateman with Blore into 2nd row. We have lots of forward depth and need halves so would be OK with the decision.

Joffa signed an extension in May last year but since then we have signed Klemmer, Bateman, held onto Ipap which was doubtful back then as well as seen Pole come out of nowhere. We also are prob much happier and clearer with our young forwards coming through too which we will need to open up spots for and imo was always going to be Twal or Joffa who had to leave at some stage

I think they will become the Tigers and we the Wiggles. Is there any obstacle to the players having different colours instead of just the one design and the skipper becoming Feathersword ?

That’s an upgrade on Nofa.

Nice try.

Ofa for Rankin knowing our management

Although Joffa only re-signed 8 months ago, it's clear to say a fair bit has changed up front.
Klem signing long term and has moved into the leader of the pack. Stef finally fit and appears a walk-up starter, as does Pole, who the coaching staff absolutely love. The club has realised there’s too much money in a wasted bench spot. Matamua, Blore all able to fill a role.

If Joffa makes way, it promotes a top 30 spot for Aitasi James.

James has been edging closer every week in the team selections.
