Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Great cars. Had a Santa Fe in 2015 and then traded to a Tucson last years. Both excellent cars.

They don’t make utes. Still no.

i love tormenting them,play with them every 8 years or so.last 3 cars i bought always start the same.Extend a hand shake ,show me how easy it is to change a main head light with out cutting my knuckles up and is it extra to have all the techno wonders removed your about to bore me with/which will count against the purchase,plain n simple ,i normaly walk 1/2 way thru their speech,thats the card readers that couldnt sell anything ,good sales people listen ask questions but the tell so many lies you can tell them they said 2 grand under their best price ,their that wrapped up in a sale they forget what they said.Ive always got cash ,some think they can bully you into finance b4 your even looked at a car,and that blank space were the % lives on the paperwork can always be shaved be 30% of their origanal offer if you tell them you dont want theirs,buy private, go to dealer up the road on a bank /morgagel/oan.Always ends up T bone chips salad at the nearest club,gut felling always wins.Best advice is waste a day going to all manufactures in your comfort zone,and if you stay long enough for them to offer a test drive(only reason your still there is its an ok deal) say fk no,that will only give me more reasons not to waste my money ,walk off laughing like a mad man ,the power of purchase is with you ,not them

We're quietly improving under Richardson. I think he has done a stellar job to date.

Yes u can say Richo has done a good job, but what puzzles me is why we have left ourselves so light on in the backrow , getting rid of papa without having a ready made signing is dum , then pushing Bateman out and again no replacement, SO for all the great work Richo has done , leaving us with no depth in the backrow and lock , will come back to bit us as the season goes on . A couple of injuries and we have to play kids from the NSW cup , WELL we seen how they preformed last year .
I hope Iam proved wrong but I hope I don’t have to pull this post out half way throw the season and SAY I told u so .

I am already loving the 1-2 combo of Roycey Hunt and Terrell May. A Kmart version of JFH and Leota. The new bash bros

I think the combo of Klem/May starting with impacts of Hunt/Pole is a very very nice rotation. Means they can play hard and bashbros style.

With Twal on the bench as cover gives us more options for Hunt/Pole to be used the right and effective way.

I think Klemmer playing in a game at Lidcombe oval and not being anywhere near the first grade squad is a great combination.

Good advice.

I went with a friend to buy a car, love his tactic "Look lets not waste time haggling. Tell me your best price and we do the sale quickly".

Seller "ok 4800".

Friend "will you take 4450?"

Lets see how we goes with some support.

He put one on Luai at training already so maybe being in a contract period & with some harder heads around him he is fired up. A fired up Klemmer makes our pack very spicy. He also defensively locks down the middle and can play big minutes giving us time to use impact rotations well.

Would have to say that Both Papalii and Bateman forced Richo's hand, and there are only so many fires that can be put out in an off season.
He's bolstered the halves, outside backs, forwards and bench, gotta leave something to do for next off season...
But really, I think that Jack Bird was brought in to play the other backrow spot, so they did address the issue. And there's still a bit to work out with some of the fringe players, to see if anyone can step up, and if not go again for Hetherington next year or see who else might become available.

 

[Buttface]

the signings aren’t “done “ .., there isn’t anyone available at this second … have some patience … that will change…

Signings are never “done” in the NRL.
A team could have 300 rostered players and if the best player in the league suddenly becomes available and wants to go there, you watch 271 players would magically leave, retire, medically retire, get caught for something illegal, go to UK, change careers for a year (boxing), have a disagreement with the coach, turn up fat,
turn up late due to police pulling you over?
I just wish we were better at this part.

I agree with u 100% , even if the forced his hand u don’t don’t let people walk unless u are 100% certain that u have a replacement lined up

If Klem is our worst prop then we have improved our roster and going well.

Matamua looks in tremendous shape this year,
I'm looking forward 2 see what mood he's in...

What you say is true but if there's no good ones available, he can't just yank one out of his butt sure he would have some targets in mind just have to be patient pity Tupouniua went to the dogs would of been a good get but I think he wanted 3 years.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

I'm hoping he has a good season mate looking at the training photos he looks a bit bigger in the arms Sheens had him slimmed down too far for mine.

Tupouniua is too busted.

Last season Kaito needs to lift and show his early promise would be thrilled to see him succeed we need to have our juniors rise to expectations.

Yeah if he has a contract year, that’d be great. We can either sell him off at whatever he can get somewhere else or he can sign on with us for less (at a more appropriate market value), and become part of our new family dynasty. A bit like Twal did. Only problem is Klem has probably got one more decent contract in him if he plays well this year, so he will need to choose the money or winning GF’s with the Tigers. 😎

About 5years too late. His best was long ago in a galaxy far far away.

Looked good last season but yes had a few injuries in the past dogs offered 3 years they must be confident 2 years max smart contract.
