Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Karlos is a lock, Burton a centre. you put Latu at 6 and they look incredibly dangerous across the park.

Karl is the same size as Brooks, and has played in the halves his entire career. He will not play lock, he will not allow himself to, no chance.

You are contact with the source? Relation to you? Good inside info. Where is Fulton and Benji when you need them.

Gould has already stated he'll be developed solely as a lock moving forward.

Fatso Ice does have a kiwi partner over there.
We're not shopping Blore anymore.
It's all coming together.

She's moved to Australia but think it's worth noting Metcalf is only on $250K...but don't believe it's him we're apparently in talks with.

So what's it got to do with Wests Tigers?

Would love to get Metcalf but when I think of the last 3 months with Rumours of recruits and suggestions by the dozen and count actual recruits as Zero . I take all this with a grain of salt

That ruins a fun rumour.
I hope it's not Volkman we're after.

I meet a ex Tiger's player today through a guy I know who is alittle in the know at the Rooster the ex Tiger has won a title at the Rooster's very nice guy also has played origin I asked him about what's happening at the Tiger's he basically laugh in my face saying it's the people who run the that are the problem and has been for a number of years

At first I thought you were referring to Tedesco but then you said he was nice guy, so that rules out Squiddly Diddly. Ditto Matterson. Was it Luke O'Donnell?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Volkman

Didn't Volkman tear us apart 2 or 3 years ago in a trial match? If he did. No good. Will show up the coaching department and board

That would be enough for our "brains trust" to throw 800k p.a for 5 years at him just so Sheens can try to turn him into a centre

Have you heard something re Latu and Te Maire @teddy23 ?

The Fainu brothers mail has always been the same - we’re favourites to get them still but our recent efforts and speculation around head office is making them consider options. They’re sold on the club just unsure on the stability.

The word was that Dolphins have been quietly told no but take that how you want - Dragons also making calls and maybe Dogs could be an option.

Nothing on TMM, but Benji does rate him as he was tearing up our reserve grade whilst Benji was around from memory.

Also don’t see Metcalf leaving (just an opinion)… he’s starting to really hit some form and the whole warriors team are starting to click. He probably sees SJ only having about 2 years left and the 7 jersey is his - playing alongside him and picking his brain is appealing and he also has RTS coming next year too.

Thanks for the update

Metcalf is on a pretty basic deal at the Warriors so if we've offered a decent upgrade he could probably get a release fairly easily for next year, especially with TMM and Volkman and Harris-Tavita coming back next year

He's on around 250-300k. Warriors outbid a number of clubs to snare him. He's not on Wakeham money...

 

[Vicious]

Volkman

Metcalf + Curran = Ice

I think Curran could be as good as IP personally.

Curran is now surplus to the Warriors requirements.
As others have pointed out Metcalfe would now be after a substantial pay increase, I don’t think the Warriors could afford to give him much of an increase.
Edward Kosi and Viliami Vailea are both also surplus to their requirements, but would be a great addition to our backline.
Please stay away from Volkman he just stands and passes, he will not help us.
