Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BAGNF05]

The prop situation we can fix. We still have Klem, Pole... and Twal. We just need some honest "no name brands" that churn out similar stats to Stef. Paulo was thrown up as an option and I like that.

2010/11 we had blokes like Big Red, Gibbs and Payten. Alongside our juniors of Woods and Fifita, who were both often our subs. None of those were ever exceptional, maybe bar Fifita at a point in time.... and woods for about a year.

If we go for the names, we'll overpay. We need to play moneyball, like the dogs did.

Free'ing up the stef cash gives us a number of possiblities

Those Dogs guys who are doing a job may even shake loose if Stef ends up there.

Sorry Hammertime but if Twal is in our 13 or even our 17 next year, we are Farouked.

Can To'o play front row?

Probably better than stef

If there is any possibility at all of To'oleaving Penrith then I think we'd be a massive chance. We have the money to pay overs, he won't have to move house and he can car pool to and from training with one of his best mates.

Plus Penrith won't see us as a threat... they won't care if people come here..

You can guarantee more metres from him than Stefanie

And Sharon

It's interesting that someone has posted the Panthers ceo has downplayed this, as much as I despise the grub, Weedler is no fool, there's no way he'd release this, without there being something going on, come on jerome bring Ur mate with you

Who knows if any of this is true but this should not be happening during the season - the NRL really need to do better in relation to the trading and recruitment of players.
The fans lose their minds - the gossip around the game generates equal interest to the product itself.

 

[Vicious]

I thought you hated short wingers ?

I do, but I like that beast.
Klemmer would feel like he’s 21 again off the back of To’o yardage.

I think your last sentence may be why the NRL will not change it, the gossip continues to keep the game in the media.

I would gladly take To’o … Can hardly believe Penrith would be interested in moving him on… they sign Ice but want to give up Brian ? Makes zero sense ?

 

[hank37w]

Never happen. Arthur most likely moving to coach Perth.

Yeah, Perth based Wests Tigers. 🤣 🤣 🤣

an observation not stat, is noticing how many hit ups the panthers forwards make in their own half.
Be close to 0!

Yep, supports advertising and moves products and services off the shelf.

As an aside, provides us fans of struggling teams hope in different measure.

Wouldn’t be surprised if a swap for Galvin gets raised .

If we think Galvin is leaving anyway it might make sense & give our backing to Latu instead

 

[Tcat]

Love it when Weidler comes out with a rumour that sucks for us, we reakon he is lying dog journo with no intel. Weidler comes out with the To'o rumour and all of a sudden hes ok and must have solid sources of Intel. Life of a WTs fan.

No way

 

[Curaeus]

If there's an ounce of truth in this To'o story (it is Weidler I know) we have do whatever we can to get this guy to Concord.

hahaha... that's why I did the dot dot dot. Good depth.

So he grabbed him by the shirt right and then pulled him to ground - didn't punch or kick him etc ?

Does not sound like enough to destroy his career over does it ?????????????
