Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Lestronge]

Luke Lualiii will be there I can almost guarantee . Staines , Toa , Faatape etc. are backups .

Question:

Would you sign a 32-year-old Cameron McInnes to play 13 if he was asking for a three year deal?

Yes providing his salary goes down on a sliding scale to reflect his age, I think he still has a couple of very good yrs in him at least. I didn't realise he was 32 if im being honest.

Hearing something mate? Or just randomly throwing it out there?

playing with hypotheticals mate. I’m assuming he’ll be tied up at Cronulla, but just curious.

I read somewhere that Madge moved heaven and earth to get McInnes to the WTs

An absolute no..weve already got Bird ...and we need size in whatever forward slots remain available to replace Strefano and Ipaps

Yeah I thought so. By the sounds of it, there will be some casualties at Cronulla so you never know. Seems the type of player Benji and Richo would want to bring in too.

Probably already said but good timing by the club putting the Pole extension in the news. Get it resolved one way or another while there’s no footy on and players about to become available to replace him.

I always think of this interview when I hear his name. "You look like a chucky doll" 🤣

Thankfully yes, our best back in 2023 and sadly injured in 24 - despite which the club rushed him back early 3 times. Will be our starting right centre in 25 as long as he is injury free

Not sure what footy games you were watching to think To'a was our best back in 23, and a starter in 25.
He has had one off the charts game, and his other half decent games could be counted on one hand, he should never have been re-signed, and if we are relying on him next year we may as well wave the white flag now, he is a back up player.

Tigers fans say they want to be competitive and then also say players like Toa, Naden etc should still be in the top squad haha. Never change Tigers fans 😂

Mate, he is everything that is wrong with this club. Inconsistency on steroids. We won't improve with this type of player in our top 17.

He punches well above his weight, he's not even comparable to Bird imo.

Best back in one game then did nothing

It’s absolutely crazy isnt it that someome could have that opinion…must be trolling

 

[Camel2281]

I read somewhere that Madge moved heaven and earth to get McInnes to the WTs

Yet still couldn't get him to come. Madge was a myth

Also a real window into how bad our outside backs have been. Can’t point to anyone whose played much better than Starford consistently.

Lots of myths have been involved with this club

Great... he can take him up to Brisbane with him then.. get him an implant for that tooth

Madge was trying to sell ice to eskimos.

Ironically when the cap restraints eased he then signed Ice, then got the bullet.
