Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Bird will play second row. Bateman won't ever play for the club again

That isn't really an upgrade. Bird over Doueihi of Faataape, however..

 

[The Chad]

Yep. I rate the PNG induction into the NRL as the worst decision the game has ever made. I see zero logic on it outside of the NRL lining its pockets through the government. It's a disgusting decision.

It COULD help us get out of the Olam contract early though..

 

[Dr_Ice]

Poor hands .....gets gassed pretty quickly not great laterally ......can't wait to see the back of him

Just remember Brisbane usually has a conveyor belt of high quality junior forwards coming through yearly ....if they have any weaknesses they won't last long

Unfortunately I don’t think Kobe is the player we require to improve us greatly. We need proven forwards who are regular starters in their current teams.

Turuva over Douehi or Faatapw

Unless we are actually getting Montoya

Bird over Doueihi/Faataape
Turuva over Staines

Yep I hope we have a red hot crack at Leo Thompson & Junior Nsemba (Wigan 19yo backrower) for 2026. Nsemba will be a gun but may be too young to cope away from home.

Agree Leo Thompson fits the prop vacancy

Agree Leo Thompson replaces Stef with a plus. Plus a current NRL quality backrower for 2025.
Junior Nsemba would be 22yrs in June 2026. A great get for aiming higher than a maybe top 8 after we clear the deck of underperformers now and at the end of 2025.

Would it be racist to say it's the some of the middle eastern elements of their fan base that are the major source of the problem.

yep.

 

[coivtny]

yep.

Well it took a while for someone to finally take the bait. If you think that's racist, you're delusional.

 

[yeahcaz]

It’s a nice pipe dream but I think we should curb the Thompson hopes. Kids way too good for Newcastle in turn means he’s light years too good for us. He can go to better more established clubs for probably the same coin.

Our only hope would be him staying in Newcastle for 2025 and us having a blinder of a season

Still gotta have a crack at him though, Caz.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Lets have a crack at the Kansas Quarter back. Makes sense.

Hey I’d love to crack all day long with Leo. I just look at least half of the teams in this years top 8 and probably a few teams just outside of it and they’re in desperate need of a frontline prop. due to the very public raps he’s given to JFH I can definitely see him at Penrith

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

How bout cracking another beer

 

[Mystery]

Cobbo would make the starting team of every team in the NRL. Wouldn’t pay $1mil but the kid is a star and would make the Tigers infinitely better.

Leo and Kobe would be unreal.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Yet a fantasy.

i love prawns keep em comin,

If you think doggies fans are are 'a problem', you're a massive wimp. Try mixing with some Ultras at a football game in Europe and then you'll see what fan disorder is really like. Doggies fans are a vicarage tea party. Harden up.

 

[batboy]

Shuddup hater lol. Can't deny that backline, we're
a chance 4 Cobbo and you don't like it because the
Broncos and kevvie are doing nothing with a star
studded line up and aging halfback. I genuinely think
we'll get Cobbo, Staggs (2 play right centre) or Kobe.

Na....
I don't like him, Cos he's Fat and [This word has been automatically removed]ing lazy...
You gotta get off the tik tok highlight reels - and actually watch a game of Football.

For as much as Cobbo gets talked about, the larger percentage of it isn't about his Football.
AND his agent is opening negotiations at a Million Dollars.... I wouldn't pay him half that.
(That's why the broncos haven't extended him)

Just another Latrell Mitchell waiting to happen, Thinks he's bigger than the game already....
Leave him where he is!

- I'd take Staggs in a heart beat!

 

[batboy]

For somewhere between $800,000 & $1mil? That money could greatly boost our forward pack.
Lets get our forwards sorted first.

I'm taking the Fox for half of what Cobbo thinks he's worth - Everyday.

 

[BAGNF05]

Fox is busted and thinks he’s bigger than the game. Pass.

To'o is a Tiger was told that this morning so mite not need those guys
