Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Given the announcement today what's the go with Rueben Porter? Top 30 next year or did I miss that his t & t was for 2 years, this year being year 1?

Add a hardworking pack and we’ll see a lot more wins

Yep. We won't improve without upgrading our pack.

No way in the world Galvin is asked to leave by the club. For one is his untapped potential but this regime for the club is all about pathways & development. It would be going against what the club is standing for.

However if Galvin asks to leave continously & the relationship becomes untenable, that is the only way. Doubt that happens.

The rumour is there’s been 5-6 release requests.

I doubt it's a thing. We already have 4 first grade wing options: Turuva, Laulilli, Staines and Skelton. Only Turuva is a possibility of playing another position.

I don't think we would have signed Skelton if we had To'o.

that’s massive news. would assume both of them have been locked up for the long term if they’re lining up in FLEGG this week.

how good!!

I reckon Staines gets pushed out in favour of our juniors as 2nd string. He tales up too much cap space to be sitting in Cup for most of the season.

On a more pressing note, who are our junior forward prospects? We seem to have loads of backs, but hardly any forwards.

 

[Camel2281]

I think with Turuva and Skelton coming we could use Staines as a centre

I think Turuva will play centre

Lualli is a midget with poor hands. Nowhere near an option

 

[Betterdays22]

What’s the issue ? They’re all fringe first grader/ NSW cup quality . Johansson gets an nrl off season , he could be anything . Reminds me of when Eisenhuth came back . Only way more dynamic .
The big ones will come . It’s August relax !!

if you can be anything... dont be Eisenhuth

Lualli is a midget with poor hands. Nowhere near an option

Im backing the kid, has ticker.

I reckon if John Sutton is not in Bennett's plans, he will be at the Tigers in some capacity! Richo loves him.

As what, Bra water boy ! Couldn’t endorse that signing.

Our 'depth' Players are taking up most of the top 30....

We need first graders - Not projects.

None of those named are top 30, and our reserve grade team are last. Need to build that grade as well

Yep. All year the forum has been calling for player axings and the only options have been already axed players.

 

[Betterdays22]

Strong cup team is good for the club. Hold on patiently to those top 30 spots

Ackland is a nippy half with good footwork.

Someone might correct me but I think there is one spot as it stands. Tumeth and Sezar have options.

The rumour is there’s been 5-6 release requests.

I'm sure Richo has reminded his camp 5-6 times he already has a deal to fulfill. If he is agitating for a release then we need to use him as currency for something, better than him just going and us getting nothing

 

[Kaito]

Beniji. Congrats, pantheon of champs, we're grateful

 

[weststigers]

Didn’t the Panthers sign Blaise Talagi as a half?

Yes good point

He needs to stay T and T.
I like him but he’s a reggie and handy fill in. They should have him train with first maybe and if he can get fitter, stronger and play better than talk again then.
