Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yep, would have been a great get. And he's not even a qlder desperate to move home. What the hell is our recruitment team doing. We have no decent centres in the NRL, absolutely nothing in NSW Cup and one prospect in flegg.

Yeah what's Fulton done since his arrival just settling into mediocrity

Brandon Wakeham and Starford To’a

We dont at the moment have any halves, other than Wakeham and he kicks Goals, so on a points per game perspective, he would be more valuable than Brooks.

THINK AGAIN, I CANT CLASSIFY TOA AS A HALF.

ISNT THERE ACTUALLY ONE HALFBACK THAT IS WORSE THAN BROOKS IN THE NRL.

But a rumour in the brooks section by mistake, about hunt and frizell coming to tigers check it out

At $400k he would've been a great get for us...I would've given him the #6 jumper too. Typical of this club, the "good" NRL players on the market that are WT "getable" we don't seem interested in.

Walker's knee is injured, if not he'd most likely be in.

The Rorters have huge wraps on Sandon Smith, so Walker may get moved on if they sign Hunt short term.

 

[bathursttiger1]

Pretty sure everyone was screaming the same about Munster. Didn't turn out that way. Same with the Cheese.

We missed a dud with Cheese.

I would like you to name in the NRL halfs brooks is better than, personally I cant think of one.

It's been obvious for a long time you have trouble thinking when it comes to Brooks, so don't strain yourself trying.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

I dunno about all this Hunt talk i think we're a snowflakes chance in hell of getting him, imo if anything we are in the conversation to drive his price up elsewhere. I do think he leaves the Dragons though he's probably made his position untenable by so publicly requesting a release. My best guess would be where ever he lands we pick up the scraps of that deal.
Hope im wrong though he could be the kind of circuit breaker signing we need to drag in others.

I feel we need to overpay Ben Hunt. Offer him a lifelong job at Brydens and get Meriton onboard. The Roosters and Melbourne are regarded as the best run clubs in the land, that’s all I’ll say on that.

Or let him slip on a Thick Shake post retirement....Brydens style 🤔

 

[LARDS]

He's in the Adam Blair class

 

[supercoach]

I'd keep Staines too. Not for big bucks, but he's worth retaining given he can fill in on the wing and at fullback pretty well. Started the season well until his unfortunate injury.

Staines will hit the road, apparently Parra are showing plenty of interest.

So is Sheens.....

 

[supercoach]

So is Sheens.....

Good to hear if you’re right. Charlie should be in our starting 13 when fit

 

[hank37w]

He won't come here,especially when he gets word sheenius has a wing spot earmarked for him

I thought starting prop was the plan.

 

[hank37w]

Yeah what's Fulton done since his arrival just settling into mediocrity

Been arranging to have the doorways widened for Schuster's big fat head just in case he can lure him over for a couple of million a year.

 

[hank37w]

So is Sheens.....

Hitting the road or showing interest? 🤣

Didn't say where though....
Even at the closing, Just said he's heading when asked where he was heading.
And he didn't use the word signed, He said committed.

What it means is anyones guess - I'd be shocked if he stays.....
Like Gus said, Tried to buy a heap of Halves over him, Low balled him etc...
He'd have no appetite for all that comes with being a Wests Tigers Player..

If we let Luke go, who's going to want to come here after seeing all the shit and disrespect he has received here.

 

[hank37w]

Why - He's played 6 and 7 at the Dogs
- To no great effect.....

I was thinking more along the lines of centre and back up full back.

 

[Tito Santana]

To reiterate, we should play the long game and buy a young emerging half. Sounds like there are some out there (not Cogger or Clune though - they’re shit).

I don’t get this whole thing heaps of knobs say - let’s get an older guy in and one of the young guys coming through can be mentored by the older guy - morons!

The only way to get experience is to play. Throw them in the deep water and see if you can survive. That’s called experience.

You don’t need mentors. You can either play or you can’t.

I want mine players - talented with some experience but genuine first graders.

 

[Stevec]

Official Averillo going to Dolphins for 400k pa
3 months ago suggested we make a bid but as usual a big nothing
That's what I think Fulton is . A pawn in the club politics . We recruit nobody ?

 

[clontarfkid]

Exactly!!
You need to understand the mentality of the Wounded Magpie though man,
You don't need talent if there's some connection to the old boys...
They'd give Tommy Raudonikis's postman a Jersey those types....

I totally understand..its why we have a coaching situation as it is....
Which is what Im hoping we avoid Cogger other than a Will Smith replacement as back up only
Not a NRL starter
