Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BlackWhiteGold]

So Sharks want to keep Hynes, and Dykes, and Kennedy, and Trindall, and two elite young halves from the panthers in their system, and they think all these players will be happy playing lower grades for the next few years?

Maybe Trindall is starting to kick stones at the Sharks going by his past 2 performances. He may want a release but not getting one.

That's bogus Rob. I was having a chat with Sione the other day and he told me that some handsome devil offered the boys some TPAs through his links with the Marrickville knock and it was going to get them over the line. We got em.

Pumping up your tyres Rob?

Why would Tartak be so incredibly unprofessional to discuss ongoing client private contract negotiations with a nobody podcaster with a couple of hundred listeners?

rip and tear BB. what a derrick.

They got the John Morris rumour wrong no doubt. The club changes tac like the weather but you hang on to that one because all mail has 100% accuracy doesn’t it. Lol. The fact is one of the hosts had a 20 minute phone conversation with said manager. Nothing is final but it was a real conversation. The only dribble I see is your opinion on something you have no clue about and casting aspersions about others who put their names & faces to something and provide an informative podcast listened to by more people than you could ever imagine.

What about the sensational Moses to tigers pascoe gone rumour?

I hope I'm wrong, but I think the anti luke Brooks brigade, club internal and external has set us up for some real pain.

I’m still anti Brooks and feel no oaken whatsoever
What on earth does BAGNF05 mean

Turncoat

I think we are so desperate to recruit that even a promising first meeting or two we would hear about .Just like the story on the Fainu Bros
Fulton has had zero success so far and its really really difficult as we are regarded as a bit of a laughing stock with factional divides and always losing
The media especially Fox perpetuate our reputation almost daily
Our CEO / Chairman with their Fulton appointment kept from the head coach also further perpetuates our reputation .
Pascoe with his "tales from Tiger town " airing all the dirty laundry which no other club would do was a massive mistake
The result of all this negative aura is
Many have left
Many wish they could get another gig
No one of note wants to come
When someone takes over a restaurant that got a tarnished or declining reputation the new owners hang a huge sign out the front saying
"Under New Managemen

You don't think a player manager would leak something like this to someone who talks on a weekly podcast which garners a lot of attention? Inadvertently knowing that this news could make its way back to the club? I know Rob Bechara isn't popular on here but let's not make it out as if player managers are people with integrity.

You make a great point about the talent coming from other catchment areas, though I think the priority has to be recognition, as long as we can recognise who the talent is and go bring it to us it will be fine.

Absolutely. And in someways this is an example of us starting to get it right.
Look around the league plenty of ‘household names’ are from other starting points.
There are good kids from our catchments in our lower grades, but we can’t rest on our laurels believing they are the best kids just because they are locals

Really excited for the tigers to be potentially paying a six figure transfer fee for Brodie Croft....

You got some news you want to share jedi?

Is that the best we can do?

no news mate just going off the article that we are looking at Croft as he has the nrl clause where we need to pay a 100k plus transfer fee if we want him.
Honestly we are scraping the barrel with Croft let alone having to pay for the privilege of getting a release.
If we can't get Trindall then try again for mitchell pearce or Dodd
Croft couldn't play well in the storm system or the Broncos he will not be the answer here.
Would look at Sezer before Croft

They play dirty, but they do what's best for their
clients. Rob is passionate but rubs a lot of folk
the wrong way. Tartak is as polished as they
come, they leak to media not pod guys smh

People acting like Croft wouldn't be an upgrade at #6.

Paired with Sezar's kicking game at #7- nobody sees this as at worst, a short term solution until the youngsters come through?

[Pbulk]

I still think Chad Townsend could fall out of the tree!

Rumours on Hull FC socials that Clifford is returning to the Cowboys.

The Chad is returning to his best mate Flanno by all reports, needs to get that love of the game injected into him again.

God our recruitment is dog shit, we have cap space and can't even sign another clubs back up half? Every other team seems to be able to pick up players mid season to fill roster needs but not these flogs running our club.

 

[RB2005]

They or you?
Paranoid much. No way o would listen to your podcast

I, I just can't believe this is where we are at. Aiden Sezer was rejected by us and the forum 4-6 years ago when he was looking to remain in the NRL.

Brodie Croft is a massive ??? From what I hear he is on a long term contract in Super league and really doing good there. Look he was a fringe grader but ma have improved a fair bit. Could be anything from a Josh Reynolds to a Burton for us.

This is a bad solution IMHO. We should sign 1x half and save the money for the youngsters. ....

The more I think about this, the more I go "how did we get here?" simple we could not say "NO" as a club to Doueihi nor Brooks. We should have told one of those two to look elsewhere. Instead we punted Hastings who actually did Ok-ish by us for less coin.
