Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tom Shines]

Most outside backs signings suggested here aren’t a lot better then what we got in the squad already

Luai to hit the open market saying Tigers are one of the clubs interested 🤔

Are the Tigers linked to every player that comes on the open market?

 

[Tucker]

🤦🏼‍♂️ Please done sign Luai.
He is not what we need.

 

[Tigers_Wests]

By permission, I more so mean told to explore options as they plan on not extending him. I like Weakes but I don’t see him coming as his path to first grade will be difficult with Bula and Fainu long term priorities at both 1 and 6. Likely he’ll go to Dragons with Flanagan I reckon, as both Sloan and Amone look to be regressing by the week.

Yeah I think he will be the backup no matter where he goes. He just then needs to make it count when he gets his chance. Treigh Stewart from Dragons will be applying plenty of pressure on Sloan in 2024. Good young player from a few games that I have seen him play.

Tracey & Lomax would need to be released.

Flanagan is saying both Hunt & Lomax- hopeful they both stay now.

Weekes & Sullivan would be smart signings.

Both have a lot of utility value and both are first grade quality.

Sullivan, perfect 14.
I'd like Weekes at centre.
Unless we sign any any better options.

Weekes can play 1, wing, centr, 6, 9.. all that
Sullivan, the same rly

I think both could be handy but are also very similar to the punt players we have bought before.
would surprise me if either would join us to be backup players though.

I reckon we sign 1 of the 2, not both.

I'd prefer Kaeo

Click-bait wins every time.

Don't usually watch ESL but thought Lachlan Lam is surely worth a look. He led Leeds to their first Challenge Cup Final in 50 years.

How are you convinced he’s a long term fullback when he does not have any playmaking skills or any idea how to create overlaps like the elite NRL fullbacks do ?
I am aware he’s young and apparently very coachable, so could very well develop these skills given time, but we are running last two years straight, we have the worst attack in the NRL we don’t have time to wait, we need players who fit the description of the position they are playing now.
As Tucker stated Bula could become a rep centre/winger very fast, he’s nowhere near a rep standard fullback just yet.
As for Miller, he’s no project player, I repeat he was leading the entire NRL for tackle busts before Ponga took his spot. He has the necessary playmaking and passing game to regularly create tries and try scoring opportunities and it’s clear we struggle in this area.

Miller play's 5/8 as well

Miller at Fullback and Bulla at Centre would be very good and worth a crack , if it didn’t work you mostly likely just swap them around , he would be a good pick up along with Sullivan

and see bula want to play fullback and leave... a very tigers thing to do...
keep bula at fullback

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Sullivan and fainu would be a good 7 and 6 for 2024 with Api at 9

Rather Sezer and Sullivan and let Fainu build his skills at only 18

I’ll be watching Tracey quite closely today, he gets his chance this week curious to see how he’ll go.

Struggle to see how he’ll take Talaki or Ramien’s spot so definitely could be an option.

Cheers.
Obvs. wasn't taking notice but I was close 😂

I hope the Trindall fans are watching Sharks v Manly. Very, very ordinary.
And Cronulla , put a line through them as a premiership chance.

Could say the same for Tracey both he and Trindall’s defense has been beyond ordinary.

Neither will win comp in 2023.

They're not going good, but it's one game.

 

[Todd Packer]

In fact they've both been crap, but it's still only one game.
