Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

i'm hoping they have another crack at Cory over the off season.

Maybe he's just in the huddle with his mates now getting drunk etc

when that wears off maybe richo throws another $50K per year at him or another year on the deal to see who he feels after the hang over wears off.

never know
 
I said a month or so ago we should go after Welch, and boom, Broncos are interested in signing him. Just like Tupouniua mid-year. We missed out on sitili and he's played the best footy of his career in the past 2 months. Bulldogs will probably play him in their middle next year. We need someone who will set standards like welch. He's not a bateman, klemmer or tamou. He will be good for club culture. If our fans can get behind the 'injury-prone' Jack Bird, why can't we get behind a guy from a great system who is a good bloke, who will guide the young fellas who are premature in their weekly NRL efforts

Welch is terrible.

Reports are Bronx are interested in RCG

Storm have to offload someone

Dogs signed Tupouniua for 4 years, no thanks

Injury prone Jack Bird has played 73 games in the last 4 years (despite not making finals) while Welch has played 66 despite going deep into the finals every year

I am not clicking on it, actually I am boycotting everything Dora has to say. I implore every other Tigers supporters to do the same and just maybe his media career will be short. I’d be happy knowing I played a small part in his demise.
 
Hohepa Puru from the Raiders, Mat Croker from the Knights & go get Jack Hetherington from the Knights as well.

Or, if the Frizzell rumours have any basis, bring him in for either Croker or Hetherington & let Sam Fainu rotate into the middle during games as well.

Knights & Raiders forwards = no frills, get the job done types.

I'd be good if Kobe Hetherington came in, but I prefer Puru.

Low cost fliers on Joe Stimson & Jacob Alick-Wiencke.

3 or 4 of those names would strengthen the squad nicely.

who do you think we should sign ? im curious just to get gauge on the type of middle you like . For me , i know hes not available , but id choose Rueben Cotter , and Faamueaesi . I think the days of the behemoth are dead . welll everyone not named payne hass . hes a unicorn .
 
Normally through the course of a season you find a player or two that are coming up through the reserve teams that just look 'ready' to push into the 1st grade squad. Not particularly concerned about the KOE backs, but looking at the forwards, there is really only a couple of names to even consider- Johannssen, Sukkar & Kit Lualili'i.

Since returning from 1st grade, Rueben Porter's numbers dropped off considerably.

The big concern is the defensive numbers of our KOE forwards. Large chunks of missed tackles. It could be that the team was just so poor that it effected everyone. But there are games where Johannssen misses 4 tackles, Kit misses 3-4 tackles. Only Sukkar &, surprisingly, Tumeth don't show up with particularly bad defensive efforts. It is clear to me that the key in KOE is to build stronger defensive players. Whoever is brought in, needs to offer better resistance. Jaxson Rahme & Vako Aho hopefully can help strengthen the middle.

Until these young guys can show defensive resilience, I'm not sure they are 1st grade options. Johannssen is possibly the closest, with impressive offensive output. A little bit of quality added in the KOE, particularly good defensive options, should hopefully help the development of the young guys & have them actually earning their opportunities going forward.
