Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Ideally I'd love for em to release a bunch early and overhaul the entire backline

AD is walking back into that centre spot.
Exactly right Demps, we are nearly a 3rd of the way through the season, we have already missed the boat on a couple of quality outside backs recently signed elsewhere.
Some are making out it’s no big deal, as you have pointed out it is a big deal as there are now basically no outside backs off contract for 2025 that could improve us as a team.
Turuva is one that would likely be an upgrade, however the Dragons have reportedly made him an offer of 650k if he plays fullback. We are not going to play him fullback, so realistically we are not in the race for his signing even if we showed interest.

Centre for the Umina Unicorns Netball team. I think it’s a good move for Adam.
The Unicorns are a little concerned about his knee injuries, but will give him first crack as soon as he’s ready to go.

So far our worst loss has been by 20points.
the Dragons, Titans, Rabbits. Brisbane, Cowboys, Eels , .Knights , and Raiders have lost by greater margins--some multiple times.

So far the Tigers have scored more than 17 points once …

Gotta score more points Don… or they won’t be winning many games
 
Kit Laulilii played Ron Massey Cup. Can’t really comment on why cause I don’t know. But I’ve never really rated Kit Laulilii much, he is actually deceivingly small, standing a 5”10 or 178cm. He stands at the same height as Soni Luke and Justin Olam just in a larger frame which is hard to see how he could be successful as a lock forward.

I hope he comes good but who knows. Like others I’m really worried about our backs, Lobb doesn’t fill me with too much confidence nor does Declan Casey, though I do see some potential in both, but we both now how “potential” at the Tigers usually goes.

I’ve seen a few comments questioning why we haven’t been seen trying to lure backs but isn’t that a good thing? We aren’t leaking anything to the media and I highly doubt we are just twiddling our thumbs doing nothing. But again I say who really knows cause 99% of stuff on this forum is rightly so, just speculation, just as my comments are.
That poster on Twitter (The Obstructor) today reckons Kit is on the outer at the Tigers. This is the poster last week that chimed in about Onitoni Large's future not being at the Tigers.

💯 if this doesn’t change we finish last again. I know many are of the belief it will magically improve once the current team spend more playing together, I honestly don’t think it does.
I do agree getting Latu Fainu more game time as an extra playmaker will help, but as some have pointed out that will not work if starting him or overloading him with defence as a 13 for long periods.

Ink didn’t you question me as to why we we need to sign better players ?
Now you admit we can’t score points and we can’t defend them either.
Mate I don't take things on board and clutch onto them for dear life like you do... But if you think " yiu got me" then good on you

You playing the man and not the ball now because I had a go at yiu about Bula...
Is that it?

The bloke on twitter is losing credibility. Even though he does seem to have some info on juniors, he is just jumping on the fact Kit played Ron Massey on the weekend.

I actually like the move they made to put Kit in Ron Massey for minutes. Having watched a few KOE Cup games this year, I felt he needed minutes in his legs and to be dealing with the physicality against men (not in Flegg). He got to do both on the weekend. Whether it is for 1, 2 or 10 games is up to the club to decide. He will be back in KOE Cup in time. The kid has only just turned 19. He has a bright future ahead at the Tigers in my opinion.

If we had the same management and system as last year, Kit's season would have consisted of SG Ball and maybe a dozen games off the bench in Flegg.

Good to see we are making moves to further develop players in 2024!
