Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I'm hopeful this means the Olam deal falls through and we extend Blore.
I know others disagree, as they are entitled to do.

Same, I like his style, and he seems to want to be at this club

 

[TigerNeddyK]

A third party informed me of the player that is being floated as a swap for Olam. He hasn't played a game yet but is one of the highest rated juniors we've had in years, hence why Melbourne want him. I personally think the club are crazy, but if it means we can keep a spot open for Kepaoa, then we gotta do what we gotta do.

You must be freaking trolling us,, if the tigers were to do that we are effing insane

small update

- we never formally offered best a contract, marshall and club had cold feet after initial meeting, still interested, but was / always going to sign with knights

- tumeth free to leave if he can find a new club, has been told he will spend year in cup

- the media are blowing up the story deluxe with jerome, the contract without third party payments sits at 850k per year, another appeal of having benji on board with third party deals 1.2 a season
the dogs are absolutely going to try and blow us out of the water and are happy to move JAC on

- club wants melbourne to tip in around 40% of olams contract

Thanks. Sounds like damage control already started.

Why oh why is our club contract dealings played out so much in the media???. It seems Benji's wishes to keep all inhouse until we have signed a player is not being heeded by some insiders of the cub. Sick and tired of reading "according to sources speaking on the condition of anonymity" ...why are they speaking!!!

I was about to ask you KADE if you had any news, thanks mate, bloody gus and the bulldog's, it's like ciraldo moment all over again

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Exactly the reason the Chairman's position is untenable...

This dud contract is the legacy of Lee's nepotistic over-reach into football department decisions - and in the age of salary cap limitations the result is a massive ongoing $500K per year Albatross hanging over the squad and coach!

Maybe Brydens should put their hand up as a 3rd party to payout Nofo's contract and let him go!

Player management using Benji as a lure for the big clubs.

If Gus wants Luai, he will get him..watch.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

AJ training fulltime as an edge backrower is a valuable squad member IMO. Either playing State Cup as a back up or off the bench covering injuries, he has handy attributes and definitely showed promise as a forward early in the year. Too dumb for the backs.

He cannot tackle at all when in the backs,, flaps his arms at them and then stands still and watches the player that beat him run away.. it’s embarrassing

Sounds good 👌,,, any truth to the nonsense about us having to swap Galvin, or even Blore to get it done? If so, why would we do that? 🤪

Off course Gus will sign luai, thanks to laundy,

So you’re telling us it’s not all about the football department?! What a novel idea. Maybe we could find some powerful men to improve our club.

Our powerful man did improve our club, he signed THE NOF lol

 

[jirskyr]

Tigers website says he's 190 cm, to to be exact he's 6'2.8"

Player managers are doing it. You publicise the Tigers interest to try and engage other clubs to compete.

 

[Garrry]

Any info on blora, will he be traded

 

[KCtiger]

Do you know if he wants to stay cause it seems that’s his manager wants him to leave

 

[Tom Shines]

And what if he doesn’t want to be paid out?

Well… that’s too bad …

But who is not going to want to take a years pay upfront from a job they are going to be fired from anyway?
