Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Coastie_Tiger]

We move on about a tenth as many players as The Bulldogs..

That’s because we’re not overly successful at it, the issue I have with it and it was the same with Joe O. It’s the fact we sign these players on long terms and try to move them on early in their contracts.

 

[Bigscreentv]

Agree, Klemmer was good and I don’t think Stef is ready to lead the pack. Pole is a prop, correct?

 

[balmain boy]

Wasn't he only contracted to Knights til end of 23? If so, whatever he is on now Tigers would be paying full freight.

No, he was contracted till end of 24 and they are subsidising him considerably. This rumour is just crap.
Klemmer on 450k is a bargain. He was easily our best prop last season. Even then, his third season with us, when we are paying full freight is only 600k. Possibly overs by then but he's still a very solid player and if that's what it took to get him then so be it

 

[balmain boy]

We’ve been told many times we’re in a great salary cap position. The club is so full of shit.

Why would you believe some random rumour and just take it as gospel? 90% of the crap in the media, including about Luai, is just crap.

Nothing surprises me when we still have the two stooges in charge. And we’ve done it to Blore, Twal, Joffa etc. it’s called having form.

With your eyes open , Hal ?? Because luai was fantastic on the field mate. You may not like his personality off of it , but he is an origin playing 5/8 in a team that has played the last 4 grand finals and won 3 of those so he cannnot be too bad.. you can claim it’s all Cleary if you need to but if he was no good then I’m sure they would put another player next to Nathan .. please do not let your own “feelings” guide your judgement about Jaromes actual football ability .. he is a gun, whether you like it or not

bogans tend to let their feelings override the facts

3rd year is a mutual option.

So technically he could be on the market?

Incorrect.

Twal was told how much we'd offer him to stay, we also told him he was free to check his value at other clubs too. Other clubs came in with the same bid as us, so he stayed.

Joffa yes, that was just stupid. Telling a fringe player line Blore that they're free to explore their options is common enough. Was never told her wasn't wanted.

 

[BAGNF05]

Yes. The rest of the team was piss poor but Naden stood out. We were 0-6 and Api was there for all of the games? Is he suddenly shit as well?

Same negative people always saying the same crap whenever you try to make a point. We've won two wooden spoons in a row so suddenly any positive or hopeful point you try to make is null and void.

Naden was the worst player on the field for our win in Rd 8. I don’t recall seeing him much after that. Api kicked on and played well whenever he was available. I just state facts. Naden has been a major disappointment since his one good year at Panthers.

It makes me sick .. this is not how a club builds a culture, professionalism, identity , players wanting to play for the jersey and going the extra mile because of the club and its people ,, this Pascoe clown 🤡 has no idea , this BS knifing people with contracts on a whim has got to end .. “Float “ Pascoe and Lee to other clubs,, see if anyone wants them,, we will pay full freight !

How can you be made to feel sick based on a rumour from 1 article? Save your sickness if Klemmer is actually moved on.

Fair comments TNK, but I’m not saying it’s all Cleary, what I say is that he tends to work well off other good cattle and don’t think we have a lot of those.
I’m just not sure he’s worth the money that’s being talked about.
But, as I always say, happy to be proven wrong if it helps the Tigers improve.

Pardon me. Don’t ever refer to me as bogan mate coz I hold a different opinion.

 

[Wildcat777]

I do t want solid…..solid gets you a wooden spoon or two. I want success!

Be nice to follow a club who signed players they actually rate.

[Demps]

Saw Bradman Best a few hours ago at the boxing.
Some kid said see you at the Tigers next year.

He smiled & winked.

This happens though when you change coaches every 18 months…

Sheenius wanted him and signed him … Benji gets stuck with him

Sheens was gone after 8 weeks 😂

Not sure Lee will still be there for the start of the season. did he mention that ?

He made me sign a non disclosure statement about his future.

And said he would sue me if I broke it.

And then asked me if I liked his trench coat.
