Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tom Shines]

He would be a great 5/8 for us next season as Latu develops & then move into the centres (and another back-up fullback) 😉

I'm all for doing a deal with the Sharks as I've heard he's a great club man & type of character we need more of. Swap with AJ or Simpkin

swap with AJ…lol

Why would they want our trash?

What's his plans?

TBH I don’t know.
His family are all Sharks fans, his dad played for them.
Connors great uncle played lower grades for Balmain and that side of the family are all Tigers fans

Surprised to see so many would let Staines go when he's a more then a reliable option in a position we have no depth in.

100%, definitely keep Staines and flick Nofo. Both him and the club need fresh starts

One man's trash is another man's treasure lol just like Mbye, Musgrove, Liddle, Tuilagi etc 😉

Should be officially announced soon

Are you guessing teddy or do you have inside info? Accurate info?

I can assure you those figures are off regarding $2 million over 4 years each.

I believe Latu is on around 250-300k with the last 1-2 years being around 400-450k with incentives built on which could take him to 500k. Samelua is on slightly lower $ wise. We got a good deal.

Not 1000% on numbers but around that ball park.

Are you the new POM @teddy23 ? Seem to have a bit of inside info and the oil is usually good. Always looking for your posts for a positive-sounding rumour.

The DT are reporting that Parramatta Eels are closing in on signing Joey Lussick. Josh Hodgson has been ruled out for the remainder of the season and Parra are looking for a hooker before the August 3 deadline. Jake Simpkin has been discussed but Lussick’s knowledge of the Eels system/players & coaching staff makes him preferable. It would be for 2023 & 2024.

What a shame. The rumour is Simpkin has been running dead, Mitch Moses style to get out of his contract, but nobody could tell the difference.

I thought you were serious. Either way, it’s funny.

They haven't announced him yet. If they did secure him they would announce it as soon as they can... He's possibly very close to signing but it doesn't sound official yet

This is where Fulton should show his class , if benji wants him , Fulton should be on to his manager and the player and say look we want u to be our 1st grade 1/2 along with fainu and api will be here till 2027 , do u want to jump on board , we have a spot and the cash , if he’s any good at his job this is what I think he should be doing

Don't know if he knows anything or not but he's definitely not the new Pom because he actually got something right.

Appreciate that.... I do get some solid info from people in the know through my connections as I work in the sports industry. They all know I'm a passionate Tigers fan so they usually fill me in.

I've had sources before which broke the Tedesco story if you go far enough back and other stuff etc. But my latest source is the real deal - he informed me about the Latu/Schuster situation before the Schuster links even came out I posted this maybe like 3-4 months ago if you go far enough back you'll find it and remained confident we'd get the brothers even though Dolphins were regarded favourites. A few other stuff which I've posted on here from him which has come to fruition like Eels enquiring about our players, Lomax wanting out and Flanagan becoming the next HC there (he also said Kyle will follow so watch that space apparently Sullivan is making way). Not giving myself a pat on the back cause it's not me knowing the info first hand I'm just happy to share.

Been on this forum for a while and usually I keep most rumours to myself - but with THE POM gone I'm happy to share whatever I'm told as we're all one family with one dream to see this club be at the top again and I'm happy to do my part to try make this place more positive.

When is TDS contracted till?

Hasn’t been announced officially by the club, but his management posted that he signed a long-term extension towards the end of 2022.

Not sure of length, but it’ll be announced before he officially goes into the Top 30 on November 1.

Very much appreciated mate!

A pre-emptive apology for all the crap you'll get if you get something wrong as well!

Keep up the good work
Regardless whether the rumours are right or wrong it definitely livens up the forum and makes it better to be a part of

4pm and FoxSports still hasn’t posted an Api extension article. Bit salty maybe after all their doomsaying recently and the club has had back to back positive signing days. Love my Foxtel Sports but worn down by recent years of negative WT articles and stories from them. Hopefully start winning again and they can focus elsewhere…or even pen a positive story or 2!

 

[The Chad]

The Fainu's, Api, the 'secret meeting' etc....now this Chris Lawrence thing....the 360 reporters are starting to get exposed for the click baiters they really are.

Maybe Read isn't the worst. But the others are very questionable- MOSTLY Hooper & Buzz, who are clearly more impressed with themselves than any kind of actual journalism
