Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Revisit this convo when he makes finals with broncos

If he can’t make the finals with that team he is a very ordinary coach

Which is probably why they got rid of Kevvie.

A few of my mates follow the Sharks and they were all happy to see the back of him.

Heard that as well, mixed basket of reviews

Exactly, and he was 10 minutes off a premiership 12 months earlier.

 

[InBulaWeTrust]

Don't know if anyone has said this yet but Heamasi Makasini has been selected to tour with the un18 wallabies

 

[Buttface]

Eiso has made the grand final team, so you have different opinion to a coach going for a four peat of premierships.

Only due to injuries.

 

[Ermo]

Shawn Blore just said the Tigers didn't want him, is that true? I thought he wanted to leave for Melbourne

He said the new recruitment person (assuming Fulton) came in and said he wasn’t needed and free to leave. Fulton probably thought he was going to get Schuster over the line when he was pushing for it?

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Agree. I reckon he’ll go well up there.

 

[Harvey]

Unless you’re the dogs, you can’t sign anyone while your 30 man roster is full.

Will be a test for richo can he rebalance the roster without bringing back another Sheenius incarnation through screwing our cap through paying people to play elsewhere.

Does anyone have any info on the Tigers potential signings or who Richo is in talks with? (other than Kobe)

No one , by the looks of things , there’s only two teams left and I doubt we are getting any players from them . So if we go into next season with this new gun backline and a crap pack of forwards , guess where we will end up ?????

 

[Kelce68]

Can you comment on the off loads?

Yep.

Stef had 11 less over the whole season.

So, less than half an extra offload a game for Kaufusi.

Hardly game-changing.

 

[Tiger Morgs]

Has anyone heard Toby Rudolph.
A mate who is a sharks supporter has told me apparently Rudolph will be here in 25.
I'm guessing if true we still have not freed up the roster spots. Hopefully some news at the presentation night next week

 

[cktiger]

Didnt Galvin do the same and also request to leave as his pathway seemed blocked?

Not quite the same circumstances.
Galvin had already been offered a pathway to the halves and signed when we were fielding the most pitiful halves combinations known to man.
We then signed three halves, on long term deals, that (he thought) would not make that possible and questioned what he had been offered.
Large has never been promised a guaranteed spot… only a pathway forward.
He’s the one demanding one particular spot in first grade when he knows there are class players in front of him.

Blore wanted to stay here but the Tigers didn’t want him…

I reckon he is OK with the decision now.

Are sharks just gonna sell off every one of their forwards? Hunt, Williams gone while talks on kafusi and Rudolph

 

[Tucker]

I meant to say that people are writing benji off in regards to the season we've just had but what I'm saying is if we had hired a coach with experience we would still have a poor season

We may have had a poor season still, sure.
Would we have capitulated to secure our third spoon in a row? Doubt it.

Surely we are not signing the 2 most limited forwards out of a bad sharks pack

Sounds the same to me.
I want to play 5/8. You have put roadblocks in my way. I want out of this club.

Blore wanted to stay here but the Tigers didn’t want him…

I was told he wanted to leave 2 years ago.

Reported at the time of Newcastle moving him on was that his game was more about
getting his numbers than winning the contest....
To the point it was discussed on TV.
Seems he's still got some super coaches fooled.

I have no real problem having Twal, Klemmer or Seyfarth in the 17....
I don't really rate any of them as a top line player - But I can wear one of them in our best 17 no problem.

Having to wear the whole 3 of them plodding along out there - is infuriating.
Even more so, because we get to buy and choose from 36 Players
- And they're the best we can come up with in the same position.

Don't understand the hate for Twal his defence is good and he's improved with the ball even offloads sometimes much prefer him to Klemmer .
