Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[king_sirro]

With Papalii given permission to leave us early .. and the chat that Batemen is going home at seasons end .. which could be now for him as his injury could end this season for him .. also i cant see Seyfarth being at the club next season either .. this mean we'll have a enough money to go after a marque back rower .. then promote (back rowers) players up within the club.

Who and where will this marque player come from .. ?? Cricthon .. another NRL Club or overseas .. ??

Where is that Bateman comment from? I haven't heard or read any rumours he is leaving early. Please don't get my hopes up.

"Other players the Tigers are willing to speak to Super League clubs about are expected to include Brent Naden (contracted until 2025 on around $300,000) and John Bateman (2026 on $600,000)."

Shane Richardson flew to the United Kingdom as part of a selling spree that could have major ramifications on the joint venture club.

Thanks mate. Fingers crossed Bateman is out of here. Terrible leader.

 

[Red88_Tiger]

Agreed. I just don’t think 20 mins at hooker is going to help him.

Let him prove himself at NSW Cup in his preferred position.

I don’t agree
If you take Melbourne as an example players come in and play where the team needs when making grade
Papenhousen,hynes even wishart at the moment all come in and fill in where required.
Edit
I also think this is a way to see how much footy smarts a player has

Papalli has signed 3 year deal with Penrith...piss him off now

Swap with luai

 

[twentyforty]

Papalii is a great signing for Panthers.

 

[InBulaWeTrust]

Swap with luai

Why would Luai or Turuva or Penrith want that?

 

[twentyforty]

Why would Luai or Turuva or Penrith want that?

They would let Turuva go, but surely not Luai?

 

[supercoach]

Pap will go alright art Riff as a middle, his days as a edge forward ended two years ago but we kept trying to make it work.

Hope like hell this is all part of a big plan we have in place

Why would Turuva want to leave early?

 

[InBulaWeTrust]

They would let Turuva go, but surely not Luai?

But why would Turuva risk missing another ring to get a wooden spoon? Plus the riff aren't needing depth in the back row atm

 

[GNR4LIFE]

We aren’t going to get anything out of Penrith, nor will we sign Crichton. I’d go all in on Talagi.

He has signed with us. That and Ivan has already dropped him once for having his focus on Tigers talks.

Wouldn't we just be filling our lack of defence in the centres with bad defense again??

Ivan dropped him cause of the stressful circumstance that surrounding him, which is a sign of good mentorship and coaching not disdain

He wasn’t dropped, he was given a rest. He’s not getting dropped, especially now May is gone indefinitely. Why would he forgo his last chance for a premiership to come here and get a spoon instead.

 

[Spacecub]

Now we know we are still a soft touch for sooks who want out, wonder how long before Stefano knocks on richos door

And shows how much depth they have that they can rest players in those circumstances. Alamoti came in and played like a monster

 

[magpies forever]

No one who’s killing it for the Roosters has ever left them to go to a bottom of the table team. It doesn’t happen.

Crichton has already said he wants to go to a successful club- thats not Wests Tigers.

He has been knocking, hence the meeting richo had with him. I'd imagine he'd leave if he didn't make origin or we'll let him go before his contract is up. Love him tho
