Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I reckon Erin Clarke from the Titans would be a good recruit for the same reasons you have mentioned.
Obviously not as highly talented as Cheese, but would come without the headaches that Cheese causes.

Really like this idea

 

[tigertragic]

Stefano is going to get paid no matter what.

And apparently another club is willing to offer $1 mill per season and obviously in a better position than the tigers

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Any idea who the Unnamed English prop could be?

Who said he was a prop?

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

I think Stefano would stay if he really believed we would be a genuine top 8 team by 2026 at the latest, but realistically it’s likely he is not seeing how that can happen and no doubt his motivation has dropped in recent weeks because of it.

Can hardly blame him.
He has been here through 3 wooden spoons, multiple coaches and new admin. Can’t blame him for wanting out.

I like Ray Stone Better....
Tevega at the Warriors also worth a look...

Anyone in mind for the Tigers mens team?

I wouldn't up the anti------ the $$$ offered are fair for what he has shown in the past; and more than what he has shown recently.
$2 mil. to spend on recruitments if he goes should attract some juicy applicants!

Any thoughts on Crichton, Fifita, Pangai jnr, de Berlin?

Sounds like Richo has taken over responsibility for cap management and all things related? Thats why he gets paid the big bucks!
Good to finally have someone with the know how doing that job.

I think Richo is one of those managers that doesn't delegate he just goes and does it because he knows no one can do it as well as him and he just doesn't accept incompetence or a job poorly done all that well.

Don't stand in his way because he'll just roll over the top of you.

He’s made such an impact that I totally forgot about him. I was actually talking about Gildart.

I know who you were talking about, I was taking the piss looking for a bite. 🤣

Some players to enquire about that could improve the team on cheap deals. I know people will say the are signed but if they are stuck in Reggie’s they would leave for a opportunity.

Hau Tupuha from Sharks would be amazing. They are stacked for props & add in AFB on $1mill next season. He is a big unit that brings punch from the bench with lots of potential. Kind of reminds me of a less lazy Franklin Pele lol

As others have said Parker or Faulalo from Blacktown are both good enough for first grade & I think would be open to leave if given a chance at centre.

Probably the most unrealistic but Tallis Duncan in & out of the south’s 17 this year + is stuck behind Cam Murray. At 22 I think he’d feel ready to take on a better challenge & would be a great ball playing lock to play a bit like Yeo does with Luai

any of these guys would improve the team while still having plenty for a marquee signing

Sugar and cheese don’t mix.

Sweet.

I was listening to the WT podcast and they mentioned there are two roster spots available now…

is there anyone they could bring to the squad the rest of the season?

He's part of the problem - not the solution.

Not likely to come

 

[Tiga]

Not likely to come

Could at least try

I think Parker or Fualalo would be most realistic as they have both gone down the pecking order with Talau playing good & young Hopoate also stepping up in the backs. Couldnt hurt to add a solid centre 🤷‍♂️

Faulalo - 10 tries, 14 try assists, 9 line breaks, and averages 140 metres in 14 games so far this year. Can play wing or centre

And there was a big rumour here in Bleak City that Olam liked the suds a bit too much as well ?

I think he was on the fireball shots pre Dragons game.

Bye.

Never seen him play but I like the sound of that Polish guy.

"Jak się masz?"
