Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tigertragic]

Jazz, can he be a 7 tho?

We like trying to make someone who should be a 6 into a 7 🤦‍♂️

This forum never stops to amaze me,
Someone can post about a scoop from a mate with so called “good information” and we can carry the conversation on for how many pages ?

I see this comment alot. Who would have thought people post rumours they hear, discuss rumours and suggest signings on a forum called "signing suggestions and rumours"?

Is luai the key to more Samoan or penny players aswell ? Not sure he is worth a mil per season tho

 

[GCfan]

Assuming the rumour is true, and given that Best, Manu, Mam & Olakau'atu are off the table...

The obvious name is Luai. And I'm good with that.

The other likely options I'm not as good with- Adam Reynolds, Keiran Foran, Tohu Harris, Suaalii, Luke Keary, Tom Dearden, Isiah Tess & Koloamatangi.

All are good players, and upgrades. But highest paid? You might sit there saying "no way they'd do that"...but this IS Wests Tigers. I could see Reynolds, Dearden, Keary, Suaalii & Koloamatangi being in the conversation though, couldn't you?

Given the options- let it be Luai.

Isn’t Suallii off to Rugby?

I wouldn’t think so.
I haven’t seen much or even any mention of it…but Penrith started playing attacking, point scoring football in that GF after he left the field.
Cogger provided a better foil for Cleary and gave him the room to target certain parts of the field.

Almost like Luai didn’t play in the 3 grand finals before that & win 2 of them… also led Samoa to the World Cup GF

Am I the only one here who doesn't rate Luai? He's carried by Cleary and the rest of the team. Would be another blair like signing for us.

I don't really rate him either mate but my judgment could be clouded by the fact i think he's a massive dickhead. In saying that if we were to sign him i'd hope he turns us into a gun team, and he'd be our dickhead.

Alex Conti is set to quit the Wests Tigers and join up with the Bulldogs next season (DT)

Agree most teams have a dickhead and we are missing out. Souffs have plenty to share so maybe we could sign one of theirs.

Buzz said he could backflip on the Rugby deal, so yeah he probably is off to rugby

Didn’t say he’s not a good player. He isn’t a great one though for mine and a waste of money at north of a million

Yep, he isn’t as good as he thinks he is.

Any decent rugby league player would have rocks in their head to play for the Wannabees despite the huge dollars they could earn.They are abysmal

i'm not really a fan of giving a mega deal to Luai but i think Penrith's point scoring was more Broncos defensive load catching up to them and Cleary simply playing brilliant then Cogger being a better foil in the 2nd half than Luai was in the first.

 

[TigerSJ]

Re Bradman Best- we need a centre who can defend as well as attack. Best is great in attack when he’s on, which certainly isn’t always, but he’s just as bad as our current guys in D. I can’t see him being worth more than $800k at all.
As for Luai I am not sure if he fits - he can be great in that Panthers side but we are a far cry from that team. The sort of money being bandied around is for a guy like Cleary, not Luai.

Cleary didn’t just start playing brilliant out of thin air. The way he played the first 60 was in stark contrast to the back end 20. What was he waiting for a bigger challenge?
Cogger had a huge hand in the way Cleary finished that game off.

I wouldn’t be paying over a mill for him but he’s a type of character we need in our squad imo

IF Fainu brings his form from the lower grades to NRL level, then we won’t be needing Luai.

100% they just had nothing left to give last 20 mins, if Luai was injury free I dare say he would’ve been cutting them to bits as well but Cleary just freakish. Even tho people don’t like Luai he can definitely be a game changer and a good signing

Luai would be 7 and latu 6.

Sullivan is a 7
