Believe there’ll be one last inclusion of tonight on the bench or NRL app and website buggingView attachment 20600

Interesting with the naming of the NSW Cup trial squad for tomorrow, it does seem that Matamua has fallen behind the likes of Sione Fainu & Kit Laulilii in the middles pecking order & Reuben Porter behind Tony Sukkar in the backrow stakes. Faataape just ahead of Feledy & Saukuru as a backup three-quarter.

He wasn't really a big name player though was he?

For a media beat up. He might be😂

Who knows how long the bow can stretch.

I’m pretty sure he left for a 600k + contract.

It’s significant. But anyhow no info behind it. Just a rumor.

It’s slim pickings on the potentials tbh.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

I'd be taking Blore or Toupo back in a heartbeat if either wanted to come back. Stef? Not so much.

Didn't Toupo leave for more money. $500k rings a bell?
We weren't going to match that. Over priced at the time.

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 👍.

I hope he realises that when he comes back he will have to give back the barbeque.

You sick sick bastard

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

why did we keep Lobb & get rid of Willett FFS

Very good question.

 

[Demps]

Thomas Jenkins back at Panthers also

Didn't really kick on at the knights

I can tell you with no inside info that there's no way Spencer Leniu ends up here.

Even if he was interested in leaving and coming here, there is no way the Roosters would let him go given they've already let go of May and JWH has moved on. They wouldn't leave themselves short like that.

Only way is if they have someone ready to commit already (Hazelton?) They sure as hell are not taking Klemmer for him.

 

[Buttface]

The player could be in a new state or city. Without family and friends to support them, and a different culture at the club, I can understand it could be difficult regardless of the cash.

Soft.
Young adults have to travel for work, study, apprenticeships, armed forces, etc all the time.
We have another family member in the army, she is 20 this year and came home from far north QLD for 2 weeks over Christmas and then back up she went.
And all they have to do is play football.

 

[TYGA]

I believe the player is the Hammer to cowboys no chance it happens. Usual rumours and innuendo.

 

[crazycat]

On paper yes you are right. Fair to say though they all were shit here.

I for one deem them to be shit and represent the former regimes piss take attitude.

You mean piss poor attitude.

I think the piss take attitude belongs to the forum!

Look you are right, they are shit or between shit and underperforming. Heck Stefano it was "this will be the year..."

What worries me though is there is a certain amount of pound that those guys had. Heck:
Stefano
Klemmer
Bateman
Papalii

Are the cream of the current pack less Terrell May. Were resigning Seyfarth for a reason. ... Seyfarth, Pole, etc... Boy this worries me. Klemmer isn't that great but he at least plays a part. Loosing this much oomph is not good.

...Sorry duplicate post....

Everyone is different. I was the youngest in my intake and was sent to many different localities including a few years overseas. I enjoyed it but others did not, so I am well-placed to offer my view. It is not easy for some especially those with close families.

Reportedly Smith has a drug and gambling problem.. borrowing money from team mates and not paying it back .. is this the guy we need at our club ?

100% NO to Smith.

We have halfback totally covered, we have people that may step into lock (thinking Pole).

 

[Tito Santana]

The vibe might be very different up there without Bennett.

I think he might be a bit of a knob.

 

[tigertragic]

Seen nothing from Hassett in tonites trial to suggest anyone should be chasing him 🤷

I thought it was meant to be one of our ex's or was that just wishful thinking

 

[Tito Santana]

Add him to the pathetic list

 

[liltiger]

Are you telling me that a journalist is above embellishing to make a story even bigger?

Good point, never even thought about that.

Where is the side

 

[liltiger]

So in summing up, if the player mentioned by The Mole is a former Tigers player, it could be Stefano, Tupou or Blore.

Not sure mate it was ambiguous cause it was a signing last year. Did that mean they started last year at the new club, that would be Blore and Toupou. Blore had a great year why would he want back in after just playong in a grand final. Or was it someone who signed last year only leaving Steph. Iv no idea.
