Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Harvey]

Well we need to hear from Richo today , he needs to explain what the hell is going on , under his watch papa was let go , now Bateman walks and stepho is going next year .
YET not a word about how he is going to fill these spots , POLE is next to go on November.
If Richo and benji think that kids will fill these spots there dreaming , and if that’s the case , both should resign NOW , what a horrible club we have to support .

Yes. Where is the talk to the boss segment.

I would like to hear who's coming.
As for those leaving, they obviously don't buy into what's happening (I kind of understand that in many ways), but we're better off without them.

It’s like the players of this generation listen to NRL 360 and think they’re at a crap club so they play like crap and then decide to sook and leave because they can’t handle the losing that they caused. It will take a bloody miracle to turn this club around.

To most of these players tigers are a crap club. This generation of player haven't seen tigers in the finals.
The psychological effect must be heavy

The Mole wrote a story regarding the departure of Robbie Farah. It was said that there was a rift between Farah and Koroisau. It said they hadn’t seen eye to eye on a number of issues over the last 12 months.

I’m more sided with Api on this one. The man has four premierships so I’d trust he knows what success looks like and I’d honestly be terrified to see where we’d be without him. Here’s the link:

Agree re Api.
Given it's the Mole, I would take that with a grain of salt. Another who just wants to sell a headline and give us crap (often deservedly so).

stefano has informed the club he will
be joining melbourne on a 3 year deal starting 2025

rumoured 900k a year

Can they take 10-12 others?

Always something going on in the background , if true , but no one is going to come out and say Robbie’s gone as him and Appi don’t agree on stuff so we punted one

He isn't a $900k player. He isn't a $800k player.
I'm happy the Tigers didn't go stupid and offer $1mil or anything stupid.
Question is who can we get to replace him

 

[colinbh]

Can’t believe storm would pay $ 900 k for 3 years , that’s big coin for him

The rumours never stop.

 

[Harvey]

Robbie should have never been hired. No experience, no resume. It was a PR stunt and another example of what an amateur club we are regardless of the figurehead taking the blame.

 

[Harvey]

Aaron Woods is off contract

 

[Roar_Power]

And he always seems to be butting heads with someone. Not great for culture...

And at what price?

The goal should be to chase 2 nd tier players who want a 1st grade spot , players like Mann, a tackle machine , Curran a workhorse , Williams also a workhorse ,?there is a lot of these players , BUT the question is who the hell is looking for these players , at our club , because nothing seems to be happening

 

[mtd#2]

And at what price?

A reasonable one. Not overs. We are taking control of our cap which will allow us to spend across the squad and attract the RIGHT players.

 

[Tucker]

Has this shit with Stef been confirmed?
It always seems like BS to me when randoms drop the news.
The club is very quiet.

Exactly the type of players we need and are achievable in getting. I'd add Ethan Bullemor who could be an absolute gun at just 24 years of age, and also Brad Parker who is currently playing backrow for Manly in NSW cup. He looks pretty decent in the position as most centres adapt to backrow well. He is coming off a horrible injury where he had to learn how to walk again, so this year is really just him getting himself back. Next year he will be much better and would be a handy player off the bench playing backrow and covering injuries outwide.

Solid, no nonsense workers.

I'd add a smokey in Alec Tuitavake from the Dragons.

Then we need some strike....
Royce Hunt types.

The pack is getting overhauled either way

 

[Fish88]

We always go for the wrong type of player in our pack. We need honest, hard working toilers as mentioned above. People you know you can rely on. Beau Fermor is another one. Was close to origin selection this year.

Need to look at the strongest packs and the guys that can’t quite squeeze in.

I get the feeling no one really knows what is going on re. Stefano, Bateman, as Richo and Benji will give nothing away.

I can only speculate too but I reckon the silence from Richo is just due to him getting some ducks in a row to actual have something to tell members.

Yes frustrating for us as all we hear is media speculation & forum rumours and ideas until then.
