Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Yossarian]

Yea I agree, win for both sides really. Would just need Fainu to get his hamstring issues right + a good centre & it would be one of the best back lines in the comp IMO

That's a huge "just". What if Fainu doesn't get his hammy right? Absolutely no way I'd be giving up Galvin to get To'o because of Fainu. That's like giving up Moses to get Daniel Tupou because you've got a half busted Luke Brooks in your squad.

Being toxic, negative morons is like oxygen for these guys. They have no intention on being even semi accurate. They must be dumb as shit to not even be able to come up with a single interesting thought or analysis about the game. They just go straight for the ol’ kick the foot in and stir the pot.

It's all from the Murdoch media playbook. Create division and you're on your way.

Sorry but JFH was on $950k a season… you think they spent anything close to that on Papa??? He has played sh*t here for 2 years & will be on a bargain contract

People seem to forget they lost Kikau and Leniu as well - that’s what bought Paps… they might not have all of the JFH cash, but my guess is they’d have a large deal of it - and would be looking for a prop to spend it on.

To'o manager to meet with penrith today per. Wielder

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

There was talk Penrith viewed Galvin as a replacement for Luai before Galvin had even laced a boot in first grade. A Galvin and To'o swap I'd be all for!

That would be just dumb.
You don’t weaken a spot to strengthen another if we want to move up the ladder.
If Galvin and our strategy is youth we must keep him, anyone can see the kid is a NRL footy player.

Wouldn't send a good message that we kick up a stink to keep him to suit us than happy to offload to suit us. The club wants to convey the message to pathways talents that we're in for the 'crocodile roll' lol

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

On the BSB, it was floated that the Tigers have Cory Horsborough ? First I have heard

Really? Just the type of player we need, aggressive, fast line speed, skillful & has a big motor, just needs to curb his anger.

TIGERS ROOKIE'S METEORIC RISE​

The Tigers keep losing quality players but one that looks set to stay right where he is, is promising utility Heath Mason.

A Tigers junior and 2023 Australian Schoolboy from Thirlmere, Mason has played four games in a meteoric rise to the top grade and looks the goods.

He moves onto a development contract in 2025 after starting this season in SG Ball and his manager is looking to upgrade and extend him with the club on a lengthy deal.

Panthers are 1 of the smartest clubs in the comp & certainly wouldn’t be trading To’o the best winger in the comp for Stef… more realistically I think they would be wanting a half in return. Hypothetically, if Galvin behind the scenes is still saying he doesn’t want to sign an extension would anyone really be opposed to that trade? Would be a smart piece of business IMO & better then letting him leave for nothing in return. Would still be able to run Latu & Luai out for the future 🤷‍♂️
This isn’t any inside info just putting some pieces together that I think could be happening behind the scenes

Why the F are people talking this trash?
He was never talking about not wanting to sign here.

a 15 year old will pose for a photo with anyone. doesn't mean a thing

 

[Nonotmeagain]

yeah ..it’s BS

He already plays rugby - he's a bit young to be going to Japan.

 

[gallagher]

Galvin for To'o? That's easily the dumbest suggestion I've ever read.

*Modern media. There, fixed it for you.

Both sides of the fence engage in this nonsense almost exclusively these days.

If anybody thinks it's only 'Murdoch Media', then they're a spoon-fed fool.

 

[liltiger]

That’s true.

Some people are up for it, others not.

I’ve got a few players I’d be interested in pursuing given our new found fortune.

I’d be quite interested in Gutho as a fb or utility because of his capabilities and ultra competitiveness.

I’d feel better with him at the back than Bula because Bula isn’t a commander and we could use his speed on the wing.

But obviously we need a marquee forward or two, preferably younger but and willing.

We need to seriously look at raiding the Sharks pack they have more forwards than they know what to do with.

Royce Hunt, Horsborough, To'o, Skelton 🙏🏼

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

It does amuse me when Tigers supporters rail against the bias, agendas and disinformation of News Ltd NRL journalists but take their political news as gospel.

That would be good shopping.
We also desperately need a right edge back rower.
Maybe Bryce Cartwright for a year or two at a cheap price ?

Some value maybe in Schuster/J'Maine Hopgood
