Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He's almost 28 and played around 60 games....

He needs to apply himself immediately.

I can see an early release in his future if not...

Like now.

Been with us for 1 and a half seasons I think,
And he only played 8 this year, and not sure about 2022 cause he joined us halfway thru the season, maybe only played 4 or 5 games.
Personally I think he is not worth having, but he is contracted thru to end of 2025 season, we certainly know how to waste money. He is either injured, or suspended.

I'm not seeing the relevance here. The club has stated if you can get another contract we'll release you but if you don't get one you can stay for the term of your contract. If he doesn't get the money I don't see it as our issue at all.

Um, He's uncontracted. Free to sign anywhere.
The comment is exactly right. He may want 500k, but if no one is offering that much he'll need to accept less. Whether that's here or at another club...
He won't get more than 400k anywhere imo

I hope Naden isn’t a crock because I reckon he has some talent if he actually starts applying himself properly

He is done. We couldn’t offload him to another NRL club even if we tried which says alot.

Now the Grand Final is over, I can't wait for Lee's "aggressive Recruitment Drive" to actually start. Should be some elite players heading to Concord 👀👀

It'll be interesting but I'd be waiting until kick off next season.

And be disappointed again

I'm already feeling we are on the way up. It's the off season.

Just to clarify I was confusing in my own little head Twal and Staines. Staines isn't worth 500k although I like him as a player. Great fullback back-up and speed out wide.

On what basis will we improve.

Looking like a bad decision not to sign Jack Cogger when we had the chance,
He’s a solid 7 who competes hard and digs into the line and creates space on his outside.
In saying this the players we have recruited in Jayden Sullivan and Latu Fainu no doubt have more individual brilliance, we just have to hope they quickly develop the mindset the compete hard, kick smartly and defend strongly for 80 mins

Why not wait and see before putting the boot in?

 

[earl]

On what basis will we improve.

Bula, Sullivan, Fainu & Galvin plus other dev players coming through.

I know we aren't at the level of the top teams but we aren't far off improving significantly.

As if the last few years isn’t proof enough

Where did Lee actually say any of this, I just remember someone saying something in this forum and everyone deciding it was lee

It was actually a Chinese general who made that comment-we were crutching at straws.

"Hagipantelis has promised “significant change”, saying “we are about to embark on a very aggressive recruitment program”, with the Tigers seeking new halves with Adam Doueihi injured and Luke Brooks set to join Manly next year."

- July 2023

It sounds like they've already done that. Fainu, Sezer (I'm not confident in him) and Sullivan are all coming in. We also have Galvin coming through as a development player.

I'm interested in who else they gain prior to next season starting. I'm assuming some outside backs.

I posted a couple of months ago that Tracey has requested a release numerous times and has been rejected. He actually had a deal with Parra lined up and verbally agreed to go over but again was rejected. He’ll end up at the Dragons most likely come 2025.

I did hear a little rumour that Turuva will be contacted by the club come November 1st and Api has been vocal to club officials to try make a competitive offer. Unsure on any interest from Turava’s side but time will tell. Taylan May is back from injury next year and Jesse McLean will most likely take Critchons spot as he’s their next young gun to take the step so depending on $ could be a chance. They still need to find $ to upgrade Luai.

Haven't you seen enough to know how next year will pan out?
