Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[851]

Not as reputable as you are with mail but the person I spoke to who currently works at the club said Ice had a tough start but he’s really settled in & believes in Benjis vision. He wants to be here long term.

I saw a story about a month or more ago, it said Api and Ice have bought in to Benji’s vision for the club, and want to stay long term.
Since that story, Api has signed long term, I am sure Ice is not about to jump ship, and besides Parra couldn’t afford him anyway

 

[851]

Only way I'm ok with us letting Paps go back to Parra is if the rumours about Olakuatu are true and he's signed already before Ice is released

The girl on the taco add said, why not have both

It’s gaining traction because Read is guessing and sprouting it on 360 so the fanboys are running with it.

Remember this time last year he wasn’t coming which Read started also.

Read also at one point said Api will start looking just before he extended. He has zero clue.

Zero chance he is released & he isn’t playing like a player wanting out.

Read is starting to reveal himself to be a first class wanker, par excellence

Yes he has, the past few weeks he has been a real drop kick

Just keep in mind my recent posts about good coaches emerging from mediocre players. I would say yes learnt more about football since he stopped playing than he did on the field.
I’m backing him to really bloom !!

PS. Michael Hagan is a clever operator and imo carried Big Mal for a lot of that golden SOO run( but of course they did have a few good players.
I don’t think he would be interested in joining us.

Hages is pretty satisfied living in Newy, doing the Knights radio commentary and bits and bobs around town. See him at golf regularly

I'm also a member at charlestown. Hages is a great guy one of the more approachable people I have ever met

I think Fulton comes across as a guy not to be walked over..
We have not overpaid for players for a while now and I think the club is doing a pretty good job.

He'd be just regurgitating Read's crap

Connor Tracey. We should be looking very hard at him. Could be the strike centre we need. Speed to burn footy IQ and will most likely get shafted once Will Kennedy returns.

Cronulla refuse to release him - from the horses mouth himself.

Papalil'i never wanted to join us and only reluctantly did once forced to honour his contract. He's been decent but no where near his Parra form, whether thats not us using him correctly or a desire thing i dunno.
I wouldn't be surprised if he hasnt been looking for an exist the whole time hes been here.

Never wanted to join us... except that part where he negotiated with his manager to join us.

 

[jirskyr]

Watch this space I guess

It's a non-story, both are contracted until end of 2025.

And don't anyone bother saying "what is a contract worth these days" lest we start new rumours about Nathan Cleary, DCE, Nanai, Tino or any other player that is definitely under contract.

Why would Cleary want out of his contract?

Now the rumour mill is starting a Papali'i and Utoikamanu back to Parra run. Anyone heard anything apart from the rumour from Riccio?

Let the great man answer it best answer ever

 

[kade7]

- blore was told by club before scott fulton that he would be free to explore options, deal with leeds was done, but club has had massive change of heart

- riccio believes ice is on his way to parra, the club is looking to move some players on thats no lie, but ice isnt going anywhere, the tigers made a mid season play for ethan sanders and parra wanted ice in return

- stefano will get a contract upgrade in the offseason

- no takers for noffa at this stage

Was it not Fulton who tried to arrange the deal for $1.2ml for Schuster, and Tim & Benji told him not happening.

i think that story has been shot down by Schuster, his manager, Fulton, Benji, Sheens and Lee all at different points but still gets raised here multiple times a day.

Glad to see Morris is headed our way, but I must say I don’t think I’ve ever seen an assistant coach signed for 4 years before.

No doubt that will be the thing the idiots on 360 will jump on.

Does 4 years match him up with Benji’s term ?
I like it, hopefully a coaching team that gets to see out their contract and if so that means the Tigers are on the up. 🤞
