Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Royce Hunt. That's it. That's the post.

Along with Jack Williams.

Williams is a ready made starting NRL lock IMO.

Hope that's the end of the Galvin drama

Liked the Richo podcast but 2 things he said a little alarming
- This round we have 10 out because of a couple more going down midweek
- Our Cup side this week everyone under 20 ? Hard to believe this !

Doueihi isn’t under 20

After Richo meeting the family and chatting with them, I'm hoping now he will just knuckle down and stop asking to be released

Hunt needs to be the first call made as he would do wonders for us.

Sounds like he’s hyper competitive a bit like Joey John’s was, we can’t release him.

Has anything been said in regards to the meeting?

Just that the kids not used to losing, not about money.

Richo interview

Sounds positive with moving Simpkins on for TDS , get a shot Saturday then and plays reserve grade , Disnt sound to much worry over Galvin , said he needs to play good to play along side Luai , wants to keep young guys , but my concern never mentions Stef and his contract and looking to upside our outside backs , Richo we need a centre and a prop urgent

 

[426Tlgerland]

So. Its all sorted.. Amen.

Not sorted at all

Turuva and Olam to start in centres next year. Need a couple of powerful wingers.

Richo interview

He just fills me with confidence he doesn’t sound 1 but stressed it’s so refreshing

I’m just imagining Lee in this same position

Yah - so not sorted. Not sorted for a couple of years at best.

We signed Turuva to play centre and Olam signed a 3 year deal. I dare say they feel they have their starting centres. My guess is they are looking for a winger.

I'd be Re-signing Alaimalo. He will be good after a full preseason along with the experience he has gained this year. He ticks a lot of boxes. Willing carrier of the ball, big body, superb under the high ball and defensive decisions have shown a steady improvement with game time.

We can definitely get a quality 2 years out of him.

That leaves Lobb, Staines, Willett and Laulilii fighting out the right wing.

I'm ok with it. Healthy competition should wield 2 decent wingers out of that lot. There isn't much to sign in the player market. Maybe Shiller from the Raiders?

I don’t mind it too much when media are butchering us, but it kind of gets me when say a friend rubbishes us without the knowledge.

And then of course, they know very little about their own side, when people here can tell us what Pole had for dinner 5 weeks ago.

They have the luxury of not having to care about a rocks or diamonds, prop in ESL but for some of us, it’s almost a matter of life or death.

Anyway, it can’t be much of a league experience to support a rival club.

An emptiness…

It’s a mad side this weekend. I just want to see how they manage. I want to see if Benji can arrest the slide with unorthodox positions. I’m not actually expecting to win, but …it would be fantastic.

Still people arguing the side will change markedly on other sites.

Was Robinson at the Tigers?

Played for us BF.

Here is the Richo interview on SEN1170.

 

[bbobb]

Like most, I was interested and somewhat amused at the comments by Lee Hagipantelis. I would say to Lee in all honesty, of the many times the Wests Tigers were mired in controversy during your reign, never once do I recall the NRL360 crew backing the Tigers. Braith, Hoops, Gordon even Read could see what is happening with Lachie and his management and have publicly called Moses out rather than consistently shame the Tigers.

That is a world of difference to where we were 12 months ago and a key reason why we are on the up.

Schiller signed for Newcastle I believe
