Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

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

Yep think that is correct , manager call to us , thank god we seen the light , he is worth 250 k reserve grader

 

[426Tlgerland]

Don't know if anyone watched the ask the boss segment. I like the way Fulton spoke. Has no time for rubbish journalists/nonsense and sounds like he knows what he wants moving forward to bring success to our club.

Seems clear that he, Benji and the recruitment committee are on the same page, have a plan of who they need and are going after them.

Still has recruitment plans in the works for 2024, along with looking at moving players on (but at the same time trying not to take up all the spaces of our more promising juniors coming through).

Where is this ask the boss thing with Fulton , please let me know

This is extremely vague, but on the Bloke in a Bar podcast the Hello Sport guys said that there’s a rumour that they “hope isn’t true”…they said it’s in relation to the Tigers signing a new player. They seemed concerned and said they were a game breaker. Given they support Manly and get inside knowledge one can only assume that another high-profile or up and coming Manly player is coming to Tigers.

Yep I stopped reading when he hacked on the Tigers for no good reason.
Meh, Webster is a knob and souffs suck. May the football gods rain down pain and bad luck on them both for the rest of their days.

Olakuatu???? Makes sense as his name has been thrown around lately as being signed or chased by the tigers

First name that came to mind but really don’t need any more backrowers.

- 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

Have you heard if there are any bites for Jake Simpkin or Kepaoa? And any progress on Mary McGregor joining the coaching staff?

 

[kade7]

mary happy with his role with NSW, not completely out of the picture, but was more of a backup plan if morris fell through

AJ and Jake have contracts, but club wouldn’t stand in their way

 

[jirskyr]

Why would Cleary want out of his contract?

Maybe because he's upset Penrith didn't buy him a BBQ

If you can believe the media.

What are you talking about, you take Haumole with both hands if that actually becomes possible. Bloke is a weapon. We have nobody like his size and power on an edge.

I won't hold my breath though.

Most likely plays in the second row for manly.

I was going to leave it alone, but you called me a sword smoker, I have been married for 27 years with 2 kids now in their twenties.
So I am far from a sword smoker, what this proves is you have no idea, and more importantly a complete lack of class

I had no idea what a Sword Smoker was...
Urban dictionary to the rescue:
The act of smoking marijuana as well as engaging in a King Arthur sexual role play with a partner.

Wow this is a thing. Ok it explains the round table/round couch!

 

[crazycat]

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. 🤞

I hate that our coaching staff and our plans are so SO inbred.

Yet John Morris seems to have done a quality job at Souths. When we look at some teams, your seeing quality assistants holding up the head coach.

Manly -> Shane Flanagan
Roosters -> Jason Ryles
Souths -> John Morris

Benji is going to be in for a hell of a job in 2024. We need a tough as nails assistant and I think John Morris is one person we want there. Hopefully we will get a tackling coach as well.

Lives at Marsden Park - will save on commute and tolls playing for us.

People have said they have a plan at this organisation for years. Would be good if it does eventuate but at the moment id wager we are favourites for the wooden spoon mext year as well.

2 halves that are untested, unwanted and unproven. This is the Tigers way.

well Not impressed with anything put forward , same crap as normal

Not sure what could have been said to change your mind. I think they addressed a few issues. But, just as the 'media' twist a story to suit their narrative, I'm certain the narrative was twisted to suit "JP" & the club as well.

Fulton was interesting to listen to. Going back to Leichardt & Campbelltown was good to hear.

The truth of any story, situation or narrative is nearly always somewhere in the middle of the two differing view points. The media would have you believe the club is a 'basket case of paddle pop clowns in Bali'. The club would have you believe we are on the verge of world domination.

Fact is- if the club continues to make sound financial decisions, if we actually get development on our own home grounds, if we stop spending too much on players in order to bring them or keep them at the club... things will improve. I like to believe it will improve to great levels. I could very well be one-eyed. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle..

This to me says Sheens stuffed up our recruitment. The squad is unbalanced. We bought Klemmer for big dollars and we have Stef on big dollars and we probably only need one of them. They are big and slow but with the potential to take tough hit-ups. Then we have a bunch of juniors in the squad who don't look like making it as NRL players.

He hasn't stuffed us as badly as Clearly did and next year we lose a bunch of players so it's not terrible but it's not good for next season.

You realise Klemmer was on 400k this season and next, right? Absolute bargain and our best forward all season

if he was on $800k at knights, why would he come to wt for half that? Was it because he wanted to join a more professional organisation?

Are you applying for a job on the board?
