Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I feel sorry for our hookers. With the other lazy shit middle defenders they get isolated and tackle themselves to a standstill.

API made 37 tackles today while playing 20 minutes in the halves.

Front rowers made 20.

We need some aggressive forwards with engines.

Man, watching API play is like watching Benji of old.

We don’t tackle…
We just catch them!!

That could be the best post this forum has ever had. It really does sum up how we defend

 

[Vicious]

We desperately need players who tackle with their shoulder and put a bit of fear into the opposition.

A mate of mine went out to watch Newington versus Kings today. He said Makasini was awesome for Newington. However, there was a rumour floating around out there that Makasini had signed for Souths. Take it for what you will, it’s not a reliable source, but let’s hope it’s not true.

More rubbish rumours.
Why do you spread this here say crap for everyone to comment on for the next 24 hours.
Painful rubbish.

Same manager as Stef, iPap & Kepaoa too.

You are right. Another club would take him at full freight if Benji doesnt see him in our top 17.

His on-field attitude rubs me up the wrong way & doesn’t possess that eye of the tiger, just relies on a bit of class.

Starford Toa has had enough chances to prove himself.

1. Bula/Mason
2. Turuva/Luke L
3. Olam/Faats/Saukuru
4. Doohey/Toa/Feledy/Naden
5. Skelton/Stains
6. Galvin
7. Jerry/Latu/Dud/Sezer

Thats the 18 backs we have for next year. The glaring obvious issue is the 2 centre positions. Olam is a solid first grader now, at his best he was a killer, I think his best is far behind him. Doohey is pretty decent in attack but tissue paper puts up a tougher defensive line than this bloke. The Tigers desperately need a gun centre for 2026 if this is an all but finalised list of what they have to put on the park in 2025. Those 7 centre players are very very very average. Any rumours out there of centres we are going after? Who is available?

It's a rumours and suggestions thread. A post like this is exactly what the thread is supposed to be. Hearing it at a game the junior player is playing at is a reasonable rumour to post. It's not simply made up by the poster.

So Richo went to England to sign this crap lot , and people still want to say he’s doing a great job . Now if he came back with , MAY , BEVAN FRENCH , VAUGHAN , I would like that so much better

Creditable rumours OK.

like Staines ? 😎

Richo has got a lot of work to do to churn over this squad

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Wev shall trade Twal for a decent hard running prop with a solid defence ASAP

That gun centre for 2026 is Heamasi Makasini. The club has done well to make a clear and open pathway for him to first grade.

Instead of fast tracking HM to first grade he can develop as he should and when Olam retires he should be more than ready to step up. Won’t just be another 18 year old chucked in but a 20ish year old who has time to work on his game.

Our centres are terrible.

We signed STARFORD house there was no one better willing to come here back then.

He is solid enough.

The club is changing finally and we have worse contracts to clean up.

He's not interested in leaving Melbourne.

Have a look at the run by Myers, 28 mins to go. That was the moment my wife told me to settle down. It was disgraceful and they tackled like that all game, particularly the 2nd half.

 

[liltiger]

Why would we announce NSW cup signings?

No idea, though if these are the quality of signings we are getting it would prob be because we havnt signed anyone worth mentioning.

 

[Roar_Power]

Didn’t Tex Hoy literally recommit to Castleford in April for a further 2 years?
