Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Modern journalism is just opnion and speculation pieces.

You can add agenda to that

It seems like Stef’s would like to stay, but getting sick of being in a team that is out of finals contention before the halfway mark,
Unless he gets selected for NSW I think our best option would be getting him to extend for 2025 and hopefully see enough improvement for him to then wa t to stay long term.
Unless we sign at least 4 or 5 players that can positively contribute in 2025, we won’t improve much at all.

Is he the only one sick of this ? I’m hoping the whole team feels that way…

Hoping he gets picked on the bench Game 1

Tommy Talau going well at Manly I see

Cannot see anything but Stef extending with us. Connect the dots ...

1 he is part of the Samoa crew led by Luai. He will give a chance to the club progressing with Luai coming & no doubt in his ear to stay.
2 his manager also manages Ice. Do you reckon Richo would have been so forthcoming with a release if Stef wasn't going to commit?

I hope Luai helps us get a few more of the Samoan trouple over - one of Kaufusi or big Royce Hunt for more middle grunt; Connelly Lemuelu & Tim Lafai.

If we got them which isn't out of the realm of possibility, things a whole lot different in '25.

I'm a huge fan of Royce Hunt. He is absolute quality

 

[rugbygoated]

We can't lose his brothers too Samuela has been our best player. Latu is still going to be a prodigy and Sione played well and young as too.

It is absolutely stupid to think about ditching Latu.

You guys hate to hate. Blaming a player who is injured, out of position, young, and inexperienced. Its quite sad to be honest

Typical Tigers fan pessimism. It is not all doom and gloom, it's grim, but there is light

We need him and Willison. Would transform our pack.

I have a massive crush on Willison (as a player) but Broncos have him locked up I reckon. Top teams don't lose good players without someone else good replacing them. He's been starting for them a fair bit

The issue we have……

API is the only player who is prepared to work hard for the full 80 minutes and compete on every play……powder puffs like Stefano, ICE, just away from hard work when a momentum shift is needed….look how the Dogs play…..they all compete on every play….desite not being overly skilful

Signing Luai basically put the two young blokes in competition from day 1.

No it doesn’t. It puts Sezer, Sullivan and Doueihi in competition.

So what signings are going to save us this week? 🤔🤔

Cam Smith,Inglis, Slater, Thurston and Cronk !

+ Webke and Petro.

+ Webke and Petro.

This is correct. It’s not about the spine at present. The pack, centres and wingers need upgrading to at least compete, if not dominate the ruck, and do tough carries out of our end. We have enough decent spine players for now and coming through but none of them will excel without a better supporting cast. I worry Luai’s imoact will be minimal.

Just reading about how Billy Slater not interested in the Parra job, wants to stay on his Victorian farm with his family.
Very admirable but maybe it’s more because he’s building a nice little image as the new Gus Gould, and fear of failure in a week to week role may blow that castle down.
Come on Billy, step out of the Origin cocoon and show us what you’ve really got.

Hi Hal
Why would Billy want to do that ?
Best coaching job in the world if your team is winning S.O.O
3 games a year with the best players and everyone calls you a genius.
Look at Big Mal getting paid well for a lot of years now with no stress involved.

He wouldn’t, that’s why he keeps knocking jobs back. I’d just like to see if he can actually coach or not.

I think you are wrong on Stefano, he's always putting his hand up and there doing tough work at the end of the match.

It's Klemmer who has really fallen away, basically invisible.

 

[Buttface]

He wants to play centre

That’s a change from the norm.

No no no. Modern journalism is so much more than just opinion and speculation, it’s, guessing, rehashing, plagiarism, clickbaiting, forum researching, late night stalking, sewer swimming, not mention their ability to keep breweries in business and put on some good old fashioned pugilistic entertainment.

Great to see Paul Kent get his runt sized arse kicked-in again.
With all his finger pointing, ranting & raving, and vitriol it turns out
‘The Man In The Mirror’ is the true villain.

I honestly hope we can keep Stefano but jeez I hope we aren’t paying anything over $600,000. He was ordinary last night and the only time he decided to step up is when the game is finished. I don’t understand why he can’t put the effort in the first 20? Maybe just start him off the bench if thats how he is gonna play.
