Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

the person who started it got banned

I know it was a bad idea, but that’s a bit harsh.

That’s not necessarily a good thing. I think people take this game way too seriously at times.

I look at social media, not tabloids and newspapers. Instagram stores your recent searches and I recently searched bud to see if he followed Souths after he did his medical, he then wasn’t on my recent searches when I went to search for a seperate instagram account and I did some investigating (literally 3 letters typed and I came to my conclusion). Thanks for your 2 cents tho, next time feel free to keep them to yourself tho

I really, really take great enjoyment out of Bulldogs releasing a statement they are no longer interested in a player, as if they are in control of every negotiation.

Can't keep pulling the same move Gus.

Dogs have missed as many players now as we have finals appearances. 🤣

Maybe I’m getting old. I just don’t see why anyone over the age of 16 would care about what players do on Social Media. If you are a kid though, good for you.

Social media and the tabloids are not very far removed if at all

Social Media is tabloids on steroids. Hundred times worse.

 

[Spartan117]

I dont know what i enjoy better. The Tigers landing some quality signings or the doggies missing out and going through some of the posts on the kennel.

 

[Dr_Ice]

I'd buy Bullemor tomorrow.

He and Sione in for Bateman and Sullivan respectively.

Bullemor has played in the middle the past few years, we need experience edge back rowers

And my wife doesn’t understand why I care about a football team so much, let alone reading an internet site 3 months after we played a match.

S

Would be ideal for us but just one problem, managed by Isaac Moses lol

So is Galvin. Throwing a Moses client a bone may help with the Galvin extension

 

[Camel2281]

Other

Or - See it's already an obvious weakness, and we could stop letting the ones that we have under contract go, until we have suitable replacements / squad depth.
(Kinda like how all the other clubs do)

Other clubs get rid of their cancers before they spread, we've finally done that this time

 

[kade7]

one rumour, one fact, one wish

- we may have another crack with kobe hethrington

- the club never approached leo thompson

- brandon smith would make a great lock in 2026

 

[Garrry]

What happened to the rumour of us looking at a Fiji international?

What happened to the Brian To'o rumours ?

 

[JC99]

Sione Fainu DESERVES the contract upgrade. Brothers or not, he of his own merit, clearly worked hard to crack into the team and had quite a few really solid performances

Great player to have as bench/depth in your top 30. These are the kind of players we need at the back end of our top 30, not NSW Cup level players and a million 18 year olds.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Bit early to judge Mason, he's still only a 19 year old kid. He has plenty of time to improve and work on his game.

He's been doing for 2 years now when playing fullback---------------But still a chance?
Another position----yes.

 

[Kelce68]

Bullemor has played in the middle the past few years, we need experience edge back rowers

He's played plenty of edge. He is young, experienced and goes hard.

We need as best a quality edge as we can for now. He is a reasonable suggestion.

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

So now we have 2 spots available ? One for Sione . Leaving a vacancy.

 

[Needaname]

What happened to the Brian To'o rumours ?

I think it was all circumstantial.

 

[Tigerwould]

Steph having a bit of a crack at WTs training. At the end of this podcast. About 5 mins before the end.

With Bateman and Sullivan off our books for season 2025 and with the Miller saga expected to be completed soon, that will bring us back to 27 top 30 roster spots filled for 2025.
I expect Sione Fainu and Tim Johanssen will both be upgraded and take 2 of those spots.
There is next to no doubt Taylan May will end up in Wests Tigers colours should be be cleared to play after his court case, so a position will need to be available for him.
In addition to do I’d say we ideally still want to sign an edge back rower, a back up halfback and maybe another back up middle.
Liam Kingtht on a Development Deal or a minimum wage top 30 contract would be ok to add experience a depth to our middles.
So I’d say it’s highly likely there will be one or two more exits at some stage early next year to allow the above scenario to happen.
