Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I find it hard to believe Richo has gone to the UK to promote the West Tigers end of season clearance sale. You would think this could all be done by email, zoom and Tele conference.

Maybe he is having a chat to a few players or even slamming Sam. Anyway if he on a selling trip I hope he comes back with about 8 sales in the bag

All speculation that his trip to UK is to sell players.

No doubt it will come up but maybe he is doing some due diligence on a major player signing or assistant coach or a potential board candidate or to set up a relationship with a SL club or a potential sponsor based in the UK or a few of the above.

We will find out when Richo delivers!

The Munster / Hughes comparison is a good one. They both have such a high skills base and great vision. I wouldn’t be playing them in traditional halves roles. I’d be giving Romey the second receiver role most of the time but asking them to link up on both sides. I think Galvin can kick long and Luai short pretty well. Remains to be seen what they have to work with, definitely Bula and Olam & Turuva. Need a couple more workaholic outside backs who do all the dirty stuff and can break tackles. Unsung like Melbourne have found in guys like Meaney & Reimis. Athletes with high footy IQ.

Luai can kick long but I don't think it would be smart to make it constant. Galvin has got a big boot but I think he's a better runner than kicker. Which is why if they are both together they should share it rather than have an unbalanced combination. Still waiting to see Fainu have a good crack

Its great news that he isn't hesitating in fixing some bad decisions, even if he was part of those decisions.

It's obvious these players will not take us forward, so why waste time

Was that the thinking after round 3, when the talk was about Tigers in the finals? Or did this AH HUH moment reveal itself about 4 weeks ago when Papalii was told he could look around? If so, what has gone wrong in that time?
We were all noticing that Tigers couldn't score tries and as we all know that means we don't win games. It was relieving to learn that coach said we aren't scoring tries because we are not coaching attack, rather focusing on defence. So why are all these players getting shopped? Benji by his own admission puts himself responsible for the poor attack?
I wish I knew what the hell is going on, like the many posters here do?

just terrible reporting mate. Latu is mentioned in the Chammas article, but it's only to point out that his salary is due to climb to $450k, outlining why we need to shed some cap space. Richo thinks he's a future star, he won't be letting him go.

It just shows how poor some Jurnos are. They quote the original SMH report as their source but completely mis-quote the SMH article and change the narrative.

The follow up article on SMH again indicates Bateman, Sullivan and Naden are being shopped. Carayannis mentioned the same three players and Staines.

He was lame. But Naden is lame and just stupid. He literally just had to put his hand on whoever has the ball for it to be a handover.

Don’t get me wrong Tito, I’m not debating Nadens level of stupidity, just saying there are some real contenders out there for worst Tigers player and then we all end that debate with one name or finger? Mr John Hopoate ends the convo.
