Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Curaeus]

Could be true - was told very recently we have been informed we're no longer an alternative as his management rejected our approach. Thought that would've meant he was remaining at Brisbane but him signing with the Roosters wouldn't shock me.

On the topic of Tupou - his signature should be heavily prioritised. He gives me the same level of excitement when I saw Fox play his debut season for us..... Jason Taylor ruined that for us but I hope Benji/Fulton lock this kid up and we don't make the same mistake twice. Tupou being a supreme young talent in a position we're desperately trying to upgrade would be a big loss if he departs.

Agree 100% re young Tupou. Just the kind of player who might go really well under Benji's coaching. Nice kid too.

Looks like we are left with wingers of Nofa and Staines. Young Tupou is from Canberra and might be home sick .. and will probably return to play for the Raiders. Depends now on how much .. he has a 1st grade starting spot with us .. how much will Canberra fork out and make him sit on the bench .. that's if at all he gets pick in their starting 17 .. !!

Alot is being generous.

At best can only see 2 (blore/jake) leaving but even then 1 to go would be for Staines so really it’s only 1 probably moving on.

If they can do some salary cap hoodo on AD maybe a 3rd but that’s a struggle.

Most clubs just won’t touch our players that we don’t want any more.

Manly, worse case scenario they always seem keen 😜

How can news articles put a figure on a contract without not knowing? The DT saying 1.4 mill for Luai to Tigers. Surely they cant make these numbers up. What a cesspool australia media is

You’re talking about them, so they are achieving their goal

Except the Fox probably runs the 100 metres in just under 11 seconds and Tupou I would guess runs the 100 in approximately 15 seconds. No great loss if he chooses another club. Tigers need speed and plenty of it and hopefully we never see Nofo in 1st Grade again unless someone can give him a crash course in how to play 2nd row.

Anyone got the SMH newest article?

Klemmer probably runs the 100 in 15 seconds ......bit harsh duck

Agree he isn't quick

A revelation???
That’ll do me. 🤪

In the second row he played well. At the contract he was on, he represents good value. Not all players in the 30 can be stars or renumerated as stars.

Kepoa for Pres!

 

[BAGNF05]

We also have a duty of care. Surely what happened to one of our players in the past shows there are more important things than winning.

We can introduce him to a park football coach if the game is important to him.

 

[BAGNF05]

It amazes me how people on here are still trying to convince themselves Kepaoa is a decent player.

Baffling.

Id like to be as slow as him

 

[BAGNF05]

Makes me wonder if they have ever watched him play ?

He has no confidence, hands like feet . Cant pass the ball..Can’t defend … and they are his best qualities..

In my view it was Hartigan doing his Roosters mates a favour to get SBW back 5-6 years ago. How we haven’t cottoned on to that in that time has me fu$&ed.

You can’t carry dead wood, even players 23-30 need to have a next man up mentality and play at a first grade standard. What exactly did you like about him in the second row, I didn’t see him dint the line or lock down an edge in D 🤷🏼‍♂️

 

[carltonleach]

No that was another young Broncos winger Tyreece Tait who has joined the Roosters. We like Israel Leota.

Oh ok sorry mate my mistake

I understand there’s a remuneration difference across the 30 and not all players are on the the same coin, goes without saying.
Played well at 2rf? Someone who was a revelation to me would warrant better than just “played well”.
Anyway, I will fix it for ya so you get my opinion off him.

You want him on the board?
Can he mentally handle the pressure of being Pres of Tigers board?
Couldn’t be any worse.

One Board meeting every couple of months where they decide when to take annual leave and when they will amp up the pressure on the coaches ball bag. Doesn’t sound that stressful.
