Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Anyone who has actually watched To'o can tell the kid can play. And given he's played every origin since he debuted, I'd say both Fittler and McGuire would disagree that he's "often outplayed" at origin. Hell, him being near the top of the meter count in almost every game for NSW is enough, not to mention he makes post contact metres better than a lot of forwards.

I didn’t say he couldn’t play, he can play (obviously)
He has deficiencies and they’ll be well exposed at the Tigers.
Adding he’s not worth 600k plus, certainly not to the Tigers. He’s won’t be a saviour here and I think that sort of money could be spent much better.
He’s not the best Winger in the game at the moment - and hasn’t been for some time…
I’d be surprised if he was first picked on the wing in most peoples fantasy footy side these days…

 

[Tom Shines]

To’o is one of the best players at his position in the game

 

[crazycat]

You’re opinion isn’t gospel buddy…
Despite you talking down to everyone from some self imposed position of authority like you do.

He can make dirty meters, not tall, not quick - and not voted in the 2 best wingers in the comp for the last 2 seasons and very likely won’t be this year…

He’s often outplayed at origin level and he’s just not the best winger in the comp… one trick pony.
Would be lucky to be picked in the top 6 in this years comp…
The likes of Lomax and Warbrick have left him for dead..

^the above is said re Brian To'o

Appearances: 19 ; Scoring. Tries: 11 ; Attack. Try Assists: 2. Line Breaks: 16. Tackle Breaks: 125 ; Passing. Receipts: 399 ; Defence. Tackles Made: 97

This hasn't been his best year and that's damn awesome stats. I am not including his run meters which put some of our forward pack to shame.

I would sign him for 900k no questions.

I honestly don’t think we’d have enough money to throw at him to convince him to come over with how much we’re already spending on API, Jarome and others. Sunia Turuva probably cost us a chunk too. In any case it’s irrelevant right now, we can’t approach To’o for another 2 and a bit years.

'No shopping here': Brian To'o confirms he's staying put with the Panthers

Penrith winger Brian To'o has declared he will stay at the three-time defending premiers, after meeting with club bosses and his management.

The problem is that they have already bought two new wingers … and they have three forward holes to fill …

Fantasy football 😄 🤣 yeah definitely don't sign him if he doesn't get picked for peoples NRL supercoach that's a big red flag 😆

Yeah, who rates a winger who consistently averages 200• meters per season and is an excellent finisher?
Not flashy but is a huge reason his team wins so often.

Yes thats true, but the equivalent that is younger, is still a current SOO player. They will comand high overs to come here and at the end of the day, they are still learning themselves.
The blokes towards the end of their career who have played SOO and for their Country are the ideal choice to bring the Fainus, Pole, Seyfarth and the young guns yet to debut through. They are fully professional and seasoned campaigners, expert at preparation, mindest, understanding the game etc...
I thought Api, Klem, Bateman and Paps would have been great for this but they have all really struggled. None of them are natural leaders. We need to locate some. Frizell and RCG are good candidates.

Api struggled??

 

[PabloX]

We have 9-11 outside backs already depending on whether Faataape and Alaimalo resign. Im sure we can find a selection from there who can do the job.

You haven't been watching our outside backs for the last few years. Rubbish in attack and defence. Im preying we don't re-sign or extend any that are currently playing for us, aside from LL.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Api struggled??

Only when he was forced to play half back. He’s worn himself out leading the worse squad in the comp.

A winger for 900k?
Wingers should be produced not bought.
To’o is good but if he wants to come here on a normal good winger price than fine otherwise go and extort money for some other sucker. Thanks.

 

[Tucker]

Api struggled??

To get the forwards going.
Individually he has played well.

To'o for us would be huge, covers a position in the backline and provides us an extra forward for our pack that at times just cannot generate momentum. Just depends on how much is he worth. Easily the 800k we offered Steph. For a winger that's insane but to'o is also a wrecking ball when hitting the ball up, so I think he would be great value.

How many years?

 

[RonDingo]

Laulili’i and Turuva are the first 2…
To’o would be the 3rd!

Storm wouldn’t take To’o…
Neither would the Roosters…
IF Panthers looking to let him go…

That’s 3 of the top 4
So, probably not any team….

Inside info or a rumour?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

He didn't want a full-time gig he only he help out with coaching the halves and stay living in QLD.

Thanks HSVJ.

 

[Tom Shines]

I’m sure the nature of that GF loss last year has had an impact on the Broncos this season ..that was as though a loss as I’ve ever seen .. even worse than Balmain 89…

Staggs should get out of there & get paid with us

 

[Tiger Tarl]

Sam Burgess as assistant coach would be fire. He's doing well for Warrington in the UK but it's no secret he wants to coach in the NRL.

Wests Tigers could be a stepping stone for him, put himself in the shop window and wait for Wayne to finish at the Bunnies in 2 years and then he takes over as head coach.

More likely he stays in the UK as a head coach but he would toughen us up and bring a bit of steel to our players alongside Benji's calmer Bennet-like approach. Fire and Ice.

Wouldnt mind that ..

The Broncos need to start turning over that team…
