Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Getting to that fun time of year where we hear all about players training the house down.

Yeah it never gets old never fails to suck us in again in anticipation.

New season clean slate happy with who has looked the best at training to be picked can motivate others to lift.

If we selected our NRL team by their training efforts then Alex Lobb would have been captain last year. Lachlan Galvin would be VC. By all accounts Naden had some great games in Cup last year and that is where he should stay. Bradman Best gave him an absolute BATH in NRL last year. I was actually embarrased. Worst game by a centre since Steve Mavin. Nothing at all against the guy but he must be looking for a payday next year.

Who’s rated higher Saunders formerly eels now raiders , or woods ?

Both are big talents & should have long NRL careers but seeing some of Woods rep games I think he is a freak & the better prospect. I disagree with @lathami, there are definitely players you can see are going to be special & destined for first grade, Woods is 1 of them

Lobb didn't get much of a look in last season poor game I seen he was carrying an injury and should of been replaced

Tigers supporters wanted to mount his head on a pike at the entrance to L Oval.

Lamb meant it just like Rod Reddy did when he was penalised 5 times for violent play in the first half of the 1977 GF against Parramatta. The belief was back then that it was almost impossible to get sent off in a GF. In truth Lamb became a little thug after he left Wests.

Chris Warren has joined the Sea Eagles to head up its new-look communications team.

Warren, the son of legendary rugby league commentator Ray, left his job at the Tigers before Christmas to take up a similar position with Manly.

Warren, who played five games for the Magpies, replaces Manly’s popular long-term media manager Wayne Cousins.

Is that the bloke that does behind the roar? If it is, thank God!

He’s been given a clean slate a few times now only to do something completely stupid and cost his team.

I still regard him as pathetic.

The article could be a strategy by Richo to entice other clubs looking to fill their top 30 this month with an outside back to consider Naden.

The lord works in mysterious ways.


I don't understand how you rock up to pre season without a great attitude and in great shape.

But he isn't being paid as an elite front rower. There's been half a dozen front rowers mentioned here who are reportedly at or above $1M. He is being paid a salary that would be consistent with a player a tier below that. If he is/isn't or will/won't reach that level can be debated but I don't think it is a ridiculous salary by any means.

True. Can anyone remember what Andrew F was getting paid at Cronulla circa 10 years ago with a much lower salary cap? Just in case you choose not not from memory it was $800+

Big part in winning the GF too.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

We need all our players to be hungry if Naden clicks that’s a good thing and if he needs a contract year as an incentive just give him 1yr deals.

 

[happy_tiger]

Yeah even if Naden is playing well ....having a successful Reggie's side would be a change

 

[ancient_magpie]

Seen him in a Titans shirt earlier....

Your boys making moves on the big stage

We had him before he did something wrong possibly drugs and got punted.

Alan Fitzgibbon - He was with us a few seasons ago .. and never liked it .. I think he just walked away from us.

One of the most blatant take-outs in Grand Final History. We were already up against it before the game when Blocker Roach was suspended and tried to serve the suspension when Barnesy unsuccessfully tried to have him registered to play in the Old Dart. The ARL refused to acknowledge the UK games as legitimate.
The week prior to the Grand Final our legendary No.1 supporter (and best shearer in the world), Laurie Nicholls was telling all media outlets that, ''Ellery Eats Cellery". This only proved to put a bigger target on Hanley's forehead. Baa Baa wacked him good and he didn't come out for the second half.... The rest is History. If Terry is claiming he didn't mean it then he should undertake a polygraph liar test!

As I recall, the issue was Blocker was not whether UK games counted (they did) it was that to make it work they had to count a game in the UK and one in Australia on the same weekend.

If I remember he was involved in a domestic violence case and never played for us afterwards. That guy was fast.
