Looking at the names who hve been pushing this rumour, Its reasonably clear to me that this has originated from the Discord forum.
Its not a bad troll, but a troll all the same.

It has all the makings of a discord fun zone gee up.
They'd be on there tittering like little girls right now.

With Richardson's dealings with players and their managers confidential, why would a poster have knowledge about new recruits?

Blore , Steph , if it’s one of them who would you take back
Me - Blore , he wanted to stay the other didn’t and wasted a spot last season doing nothing for the team

It's so funny how these rumours explode Tuck but deep down you wish the F it was true.

The discord boys do it to amuse themselves. They make up a rumour to post on here then giggle like girls at a slumber party.

I heard from a mate who heard from his second cousin who heard from his son who heard from his school teacher who heard from “someone in the know” that it’s actually Luke Brooks who is coming back to the Tigers. Feeling pretty confident on this one 👍.

 

[weststigerman]

I'd take Tupou back as a centre if it was him. Ordinary year last year, but previously he was one of our best backs.

I think we'd all wish it was Blore but not many players want to leave Melbourne.

 

[Tiger001]

I cant understand this decision. Unless we have someone else better coming in to replace him within the squad then this weakens the squad overall.
Klemmer is not the prop he used to be but he still produces decent numbers and plays with passion. He is also role model across the club which I think is under estimated with the number of young kids coming through.
To do this 1 week before the season starts is crazy, with zero substance.
I might be in the minority here, but this is not a good decision in IMO.

Got to free up a spot before you can add another player.

Come on Richo, 1 more supply please

And seeing that it is a rumours thread, please elaborate?

I'm guessing he is talking about swapping a gun 19 yr old for a soon to be over the hill fullback.

5th choice half behind Luai,
Galvin, Latu and Douehi

If that is true, "soon to be over the hill" should be replaced by stayed a season too long. Bennett was always good at informing players when it was time to retire eg Wally Lewis.

Isn't that what the Bateman money was for? How much are we gonna offer Galvin?!

He's going to cost a bit Id say...especially if he hits the ground running.
From his trial 1 form, he is very obviously aware of the attention he is garnering and of the mindset to impress. If he plays for himself tonight, I think it will cement that theory.
The bidding war could be a tough one to win.

 

[Roar_Power]

I wouldn't take Tupou or The Pillow back. And we need someone more dynamic at 2nd row than Blore. No to the lot.

Oh good, we need a new kicking tee.

The guy who almost won the Dally M medal last year has stayed too long?

Want to see him create some opportunities tonight not run around like chook with no head with the support wondering what he is going to do.

 

[cktiger]

With Galvins no interest in signing on long term I would take the deal

So in a few years we'll be thinking there goes another Tedesco?

Thats what I mean...he hasnt got Luai out there to temper him.
Doueihi may do it as he loves to have the ball as well.
Im interested in watching their partnership tonight.

 

[Tim Sheens]

I reckon Roosters may offer to swap Galvin for Leniu

Tempting if offered, as it doesn't matter too much how good your backs are if the forwards aren't providing the platform of space and time.

If Galvin is already planning on leaving which is every chance on happening based on numerous attempts already, then it’s a win.
