Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[upthetigers]

As much as Ice cops it on here I reckon we're gonna miss him next season. Should have just played him in the middle. Yes he was unsure that he really wanted to come to the tigers, but you can't say he dogged it.

Bulldogs poised to sign Ben Hunt means we’re a better chance for Terrell May

I hope he is choosing the fried food option. Me thinks Bateman selects the salad with the Hard Liquor

Here’s the answer to the sponsorship question earlier

Poised?

Have you totally drawn a line through Matamua jr? Keeping in mind he is only 21 and I know we need someone for the now but I thought he showed glimpses last year. We didn't have the luxury of a ball playing lock considering how consistently we were getting rolled in attack and defence. Needs to add more tenacity aggression in his running game and tackling but I think he can be a useful player IF we nab 1 or 2 more decent props and our outside backs yardage game is as promised.

You've watched way more of him through the juniors and for the magpies than me, is he a lost cause?

super talented in terms of his technical skill but his lack of mongrel on both sides of the ball counts against him.

I think in a good system with a tough coach he’d be sensational, he’s just not going to get that here. would love to see him under Bellamy or Flanagan.

Poised?

Ben Hunt wants to stay in Sydney & Toby Sexton has asked for an urgent meeting with the Bulldogs to discuss his future

this is great news for WT. if Canterbury chase Hunt then it reduces their ability to outbid us for May.

furthermore, with Hunt out of the equation for Brisbane it could mean Madge opts for his old mate Adam Doueihi, and we could swap him for Kobe.

As it stands now yes, but right side secondrow with no Bateman is still an issue, not sure Seyfarth is the long term option there, but I am hopeful he keeps improving

Yep completely agree, starting edge backrow a big gap atm.

Stop writing so many correct posts before I get the chance to say exactly the same thing.

Hahahaha do you know who Phil Gould is ? They can absolutely afford Hunt & May

Yes unfortunately I feel that is the case as well.

What if they’re going for Papenhuyzen too

That’s for 2026. Plenty of time for him to cull off more high earners and convince a couple to quit league for boxing

May ain’t coming here, take that as the gospel
