Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Odessa]

Yea I have a lot of Saints mates and all say he is good, just needs to be used right. All say he is an out and out 7 with some defensive issues.

Good kicking game goes to the line digs in passing is good has speed can beat a player has a step

 

[Halbrowne61]

What about Shaun Johnson

Has already rejected us in favour of staying in NZ.

 

[twentyforty]

He ran two tries in with ease as soon as he came on...

You forget ?

And we got sold on it?!

 

[hank37w]

Just add him to the list of players that look like immortals when they play against us.

 

[tigertragic]

There is not a chance in hell we'd be looking at signing him for 3 years at 500k. Not in a million years would he get an offer like that from any club.
He's a nobody. Dragons got suckered in.
At 2 years x 300-350k he's a decent backup that may progress. And a mutual/club option for a third year.

Hopefully $350,000 is all the tigers will have to pay with St George paying the balance for the first 2 years 🤞

Some perspective on our forwards

Interesting to see Shaun Johnson there

 

[Tigersmurf]

Who are you moving on from our current top 30 for next season to accommodate him? And there is most definiltey only room for a mximum of one of either Seyfarth and Tasi James. Who are you picking?

Would Seyfarth even take another one year deal with us?

He's still a weak forward that struggles in attack and defence.

This was going to be my point but BB got in first. We have promoted a stack of youth into the top 30 for next year. The problem isnt the money it is how many spots we have available.

If we have signed Willson then that would explain Blore potentially moving on as we dont have enough roster space, especially if we resign Stains. We carry too many fringe First Graders, and if we don't show an avenue for Juniors to progress through the ranks then we risk losing them too. Hard but necessary decisions.

I always love your work 851 but it just shows what a waste of space that graph is in relation to the real results.
It doesn’t mean a bloody thing mate.

I meant his defensive stat's......1 miss every 23 tackles is darn good for a half

Sorry, misunderstood. Yeah not bad.

 

[sparci]

I think most people knew Moses was better than Brooks and had more improvement in him. It's a shame Ivan Cleary couldn't see that.

I really don't think Ivan could of done anything, he was probably always going to leave.

 

[Tom Shines]

Someone complaining yesterday that we still talking about Hastings … now we going back to Cleary..😂

TIGERS BATTING FOR BRADMAN

Newcastle’s NSW Origin star Bradman Best is on the radar of the Wests Tigers.

The embattled Tigers have been active in the marketplace in their desperate quest to climb out of the NRL cellar and they are keen to make a play for hulking Knights centre Best.

The 21-year-old is aware of the Tigers’ interest and could find himself at the centre of a bidding war with Newcastle for his services.

Best is contracted to the Knights until the end of 2024 and underlined his potential with a stunning debut for the Blues, scoring two tries in NSW’s 24-10 defeat of Queensland in Game Three last month.

Given their lowly position, the Tigers face an uphill battle to sign Origin and Test stars, but the joint-venture club has the funds under the salary cap to keep the Knights honest.

The 103kg powerhouse is one of the code’s blockbusting centres and could be worth in excess of $700,000 a season on the open market.

At $700k a year I will take Best over Lomax… Lomax had a few flapping over him last week

We need outside backs so he could be a good option but how much do you pay ?

 

[Demps]

And we got sold on it?!

He offers more than our current options.
Easy as that.

So he's the current mystery Origin player.

have heard whispers about this for a little while, but now its hit the press. $700k is just about the right amount for where we sit on the ladder for us to lure him across. hard to believe he's only 21. he is nowhere near his ceiling.

 

[Tom Shines]

nah.. he ain’t a bigger signing than Api

 

[Tom Shines]

We need outside backs so he could be a good option but how much do you pay ?

as much as it takes
