Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TSP]

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.

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.

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?

Schiller signed for Newcastle I believe

 

[Tiger Stripes]

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

And a back up for Olam if the knee is still up the s**t.
If he needs an Opp. on the knee get it done ASAP so he can put in a full preseason.

Agree. But we’re running out of experience to help guide all these bloody kids. Get it done now if he’s going to play like he did last Friday.

 

[Oldman]

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

Royce Hunt
Look up his stats for this year most time he has been on the field in a game is 26 minutes.
How much money do people want to spend on someone that can only give us that amount of time ?
Imo
Would need to be cheap and be left as he is an impact player off the bench.

 

[Telltails]

Royce Hunt is the best definition of an impact player and his effectiveness is likely to be lost if played big minutes. It will be interesting to see how much clubs are prepared to pay for those 20+ minutes a game.

 

[liltiger]

Has anything been said in regards to the meeting?

Not that I'm aware of but just how Richo was speaking on the SEN interview he did, just sounded like he was satisfied that Galvin was just a bit down on losing at the moment.

 

[liltiger]

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

Agreed, hardest part about trying to bring all these young guys through is keeping the wolves at bay and out of their ears.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Along with Jack Williams.

Williams is a ready made starting NRL lock IMO.

Either Jack Williams or Dylan Lucas would be fine with. Think Lucas has something.

 

[Demps]

Good shouts.

Where's Johnny Morris' pull?
Surely he could land us Williams and Wilton.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Correct

 

[king_sirro]

Can play edge too

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Hope that's the end of the Galvin drama

The resolution is he stays for 2 years. Richardson's comment that there was fervid discussion with Moses gave it away that the latter did not get what he wants. The campaign is likely to ramp up.

Lee will become the next Benny Elias,

love him too

Let’s see what unfolds as we get more money and look for those type of players more and more.

It’s clear we are going to push harder on the youth front now so we will get a taste around the positions Benji, Morris and Richo have a vibe for will be filled by kids v go to market for.

Expecting 2-3 backs inbound though not so sure on the forward front.

 

[426Tlgerland]

We need a hard edge prop , one who breaks the line and hurts in defence .
we need a ball playing lock .
