Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[DUCK]

Looks like the wingers will be Tupou and Noffa then

The modern day Ken Irvine and Michael Cleary. I would back everyone of the Tigers starting forwards to beat Tupou and Noffa over 100 metres.

IF Toa is our best outside back then undertake a REDRAW on your home and back the Tigers for a THREEPEAT!

I like him. He can fend, he can step, he has some pace.

 

[DUCK]

That’s because both the rumours and signings have dried up

Can't wait for the NRL to introduce Promotion and Relegation! Come on Peter V - "you know it makes sense".

Wish he would turn up every week … goes missing …

Yes I recall the one good game he had against the Cowboys at Leichhardt. How did he go in the return clash against Nth QLD in Townsville (70 - 0 loss)

Not much thought goes into your posts does it?

How much do you want on it?

Just as i thought. All show no go

I can't remember and I guarantee I'm not going back to watch it again.

I agree but this seems to happen to a lot of centres. I think he is probably the least of our concerns and the outside back most likely to do anything. Tupou can attack as well but I think he is more inconsistent than To'a.

So the 10 day cooling off period is over…

Today is the day the Tigers announce some signings…

Right?

dont hold your breath

He’s better than what we ve got?

He's never played NRL so what are you basing that comparison on?

He's new and untested. So there's potential that he could be better, but he hasn't proven anything yet to say he's not a reserve grader. How he goes over preseason will say a lot

Anyone would be better than Nofoaluma at this stage

King Sirro I guess you are NOT a fan of the Wooden Spooners being Relegated to NSW Cup? Lidcombe Oval is a great venue to watch footy. Let's face it poor old Benji is on a hiding to nothing and he can thank Mr Headlines from Bryden Lawyers in providing him with a pop gun squad of 30 players.
PS: I think I put a lot of thought into my posts but find it difficult to deliver any positive comments on a team heading for a THREEPEAT.

Unfortunately, at times he has a lack of concentration, a lack of commitment and a lack of consistency.

If he can fix that he could be be very good.

Here's hoping he can get it together.

Brain the size of a duck. Either that or pre-pubescent. Not sure which

I am starting to think that good game against the Cows will go into Tigers folklore along with Benji's Flick pass in the GF against the Cows and one day could surprisingly pass Benji's Flick

Can you just imagine the uproar on this forum if any of these guys get a call up to play NRL for the Storm.
