Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Hethrington told he can look around, I like his mongrel. If we can nab two of him, Saifiti or Solomona then we did ok if Steph leaves. Both Melbourne and Newcastle would be paying freight.

Seyfarth, Hethrington & Horsburgh what a combo with a measured attitude

We might finally have s pack that could bash blokes finally, they'd only be on the pitch togeather once but how good would it be to have a Tigers pack maul an opposition.

I was just looking up Klemmer. He is only 31! Is it just me or is it a little surprising such a dominate Prop in his prime had such an early end to his career.

It's his rapid decline in physical presence that makes me hesitate to look at Saifiti or Solomona. Both were incredible players in their day (like Klemmer) but chances are we end up with another Klemmer.

Klemmer’s body shape is not conducive to a long and dominant career. His weight is distributed over too much body thereby reducing his power.

 

[weststigers]

Is Klese Haas still unsigned for 2025?

Thanks Richard Simmons! 👍👍

Benji needs sit Klemmer down and say "you have to put on at least 5kg this off season, and I'm playing you 15 minutes either side of half time. In that 30 minutes you just run and tackle as hard as you can".

Townsend is apparently going to the Roosters for250k.
Where does the salary cap bullshit end?
He's on 750 now but he's willing to play the last year or 2 for rookie money.
That would be due to the current oversupply of halves I guess.
Just scrap the cap. It's a farce.

Wraith alluding to him being a stop gap option until Galvin is available

Some of yous need to calm down

A few months ago the forum went into melt down cause we didn’t sign James Schiller and were “sitting around waiting not pursuing options” then guess what happened we signed Sunia Turuva who on his worst day is still miles clear of Schiller

Right now cap space is not the issue it’s more the fact that we have no roster spots for next year

Richo is trying to move people on but it hard when they are tied to long term deals by previous management

If people in the forum seriously think that our recruitment team are sitting around waiting and not looking at all available options then your just stupid

Ur 100% right , but look at this way , Gus is signing players every bloody week it seems and I have not seen one player leave the club , so if the dogs can do it why is it so hard for us

Galvin isn't available until 27 but you're right that's what the smarmy bastard was hinting at with that shit eating grin of his.

You're not big on FACTS are you???

And all the players that left were also once a prized recruit by Gus or a local junior with big wraps...

good points there, but Benji was part of these players extended...with Adam extended how many spots do we actually have for next year?

You might wanna re-visit your claim on the losses list?
There's more than a few there that don't fall into either of your categories....

Gee it’s hard to have a post put up , without people wanting to drag u down , I was been more of funny , but Gus just buys and buys and then moves players on , u don’t have to take everything so literally, if u can’t see posts for what they are then what’s the point of us putting anything up

 

[Telltails]

Gus is the best in the business.

One the pitch together once, in the bin or on suspension together the rest of the time...

A definite improvement on our previous ceo, but so far all I've heard from richo is a lot of talk,and racking up frequent flyer points time will tell I guess

We did get Luai over the line on his watch, and that was with competition for his signature. We got Teruva without it being in the press and under the noses of otrher interested clubs. He got Galvin back on the straight and narrow when everyone else was agitating. And under the old regime we would have locked Stef away for $1.1M per year on a 6 year contract because of the fallout in the media if he left. Richo is holding his nerve on this one. He doesn't want to pay overs for a front rower, and particularly one who goes missing any time he is up against an alpha pack of forwards. He has gone on the record as saying he won't pay $1M for a front rower.
