Thanks @kade7 any mail on Sezer’s medical & Kaeo Weekes?

 

[hammertime]

Have met Robbie a couple of times and have also met Pascoe.

All I said was pleasure to meet you. I’m a big fan. Good luck for the season.

Neither of them on each occasion said anything and simply snarled at me.

Had the same experience when meeting Joel Caine and Ben Galea.

The disdain this club has for its fans runs deep.

Really? Robbie did a video for me at my wedding. Don't know him or anything, but he went out of his way to do one.

Pascoe I've met quite a few times. Showed me the coe before it was released and really made me try to feel like the inner circle. I tend to think he should move on as CEO, but has nothing to do with his personality.

Really surprising response you had mate. Not good to hear.

I would take Sami but glad we stayed away from Sio T as he reminds me of another Dale F. Sharks got sucked into a 4 year deal with him and he has missed a lot of games.

Any update on Sezer mate?

Seriously how can we do such great Recruiting this year and be on LAST!

The Sharks get a busted Dale Finucane and their going to have some fun this year.

We somehow need Dylan Walker.
He would be the perfect mentor to share the starting 6 and 14 role with Latu Fainu to ease him into the NRL with the right confidence to succeed.

any other outside backs on the radar other than the ones you mentioned?

 

[cymon007]

Tracey is where it's at....

May as well have kept Talau rather than sign Talakai...
Same player just a different body shape.

he is a 2nd rower playing centre. Sheens loves a 2nd rower that multi tasks. Start measuring him for a jersey.

 

[cymon007]

He was also McFadden's assistant coach at the Warriors from 2015-17.

there is someone who we could bring in as our next GM of football. Andrew McFadden

Taukeiaho rumour is just how reporting is done these days. Give it a day or two & we'll hear how the Tigers can't even lure him in.

Staines is probably the best wing option available to the Tigers right now- this makes sense.

Sami- fair enough. Oates as in Corey Oates? Interesting. Big bodied winger we certainly could do with, that's for sure.

It's always interesting hearing different stories people have of players. I met Farah on a night out and even though he was with other people, he was polite enough to take a photo and was pretty patient through despite the Girl he was with was asking him to leave us and return to her/their group.

Well, at least he was with a girl. ... not that there's anything wrong with that. 🍷 🤣 🕺💃

I can 100% confirm we offered Taafe a deal

 

[twentyforty]

Do you know why he didn’t accept it?

 

[king_sirro]

Do you know why he didn’t accept it?

Just not interested in the Tigers from what I was told. I'm not sure if it even got to an official offer, it may have just been numbers thrown at him by Benji that is being quoted to me. Benji tried very hard to convince him.

Have it on pretty good authority that Connor Tracey is desperately trying to get out of his deal with Cronulla, however Cronulla refuse to let him leave as the belief around the squad is that Siosifa Talakai is the one being shopped around quietly and are hoping for his form to improve so they don't need to chip in too much. Cronulla aren't impressed with the way he has played since signing his big $ contract late last year after playing origin when his stock was quite high and are hoping to offload him. Parramatta had a verbal agreement with Tracey but have now cooled there interest due to Cronulla's unwillingness to let him go.

Where the story gets interesting is that if Talakai becomes available we're one of the clubs that'll throw our hats in the ring as we actually contacted his management last year before he re-signed.

Personally, if Sharks chip in I'd happily take Talakai off them. Tracey's frustrations is growing by the day though as he's 27 and wants to be playing NRL consistently. Either player would improve our outside back depth quite significantly.

Thanks for the info but he sounds like a player we don't need. Has some success and gets lazy. He's a naturally big body that will only grow bigger.

Dodged a bullet he is poo.
