Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BAGNF05]

Don't see any external signings for a few weeks until Richo returns.

I don't have any problem with him gone but this week on Magic round would have been a great place to neg with players and managers etc..

Broncos have to lose some players

Is the cut-off June 30? I reckon while our squad is pretty healthy they are waiting for a quality forward to become available in the last minute trading frenzy.

 

[Oldman]

point being no point breaking the bank until they've earned it .Both Simpkin Liddle have mildly improved since they left. And both players the club let leave, thats all

Agree
People have to remember TDS is coming of the bench looking good,
Forgetting he got dropped from the starting side round 1 after his performances in the starting side in the trial games.
There is a huge difference between a starting hooker and the role of the one coming on when the opposition is tired.
TDS hasn’t demonstrated he is up to the level we need from the start of the game yet.
The issue is he will receive offers from other teams after November 1 this year and we still might not know if he can fit the role of that starting position ?
Richo & Benji have to use there judgement and hopefully they get it right, only time will tell 🤷‍♂️

David Fifita might be worth a chat.....at a reasonable price of course

An edge back rower with x-factor who can make line breaks is exactly what we need.
I don’t know how we could get him at a reasonable cost, but someone like him would improve the strke within our team significantly.

Used Farrari, must sell.

You didn't tell us it got dents in it getting shipped back from an unsuccessful trip from the UK.

 

[weststigerman]

Wouldn't be too concerned just yet...Still time for a 'Back-Flip'!

Hope they haven’t dropped the ball on this.

A change of scene and out of the limelight somewhat ( hed be under the pump in that regard at the chooks)...dunno what his Titans deal is but he doesnt seem settled there

Leaking oil...but noi isues maaate!!

I agree, but it's also worth noting that they really don't have anything anyone ought to want. If I'm running roster construction for the Perth Bears, who am I genuinely interested in out of Parra? Moses isn't going anywhere and Lomax has only just signed - really what else is there? Iongi is a decent runner but could easily be a flash in the pan. Willy Penis is ok. Hopgood is another back rower Brad Arthur and Moses made look good for a year or two. The rest of their roster is dross, or past it dross.

Maybe tuilagi

Is that because of the Stains

Both of yous were funny but I do like Charlie. He tries hard and puts in the effort, some of our outside backs go missing but he doesn’t.

 

[TIGERS]

Just whipped out the calculator.

Wests Tigers have the fourth best defence on a per game basis one third of the way through the season at 20.8 points per game.

The top 3 are Dogs (14.3), Sharks (18.5), and Broncos (20.3).

Don't let the "Benji isn't a real coach" brigade see this...

Grongos won’t be losing any players if Roosters never had to for years. I think their accountant has done the rounds from Bondi to Bankstown to now Brisbane

I don’t think he (or his wife) are thinking of heading south. A reason he back flipped on roosters
I’d put him in the no chance bucket

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

My hate for Parra started to subside last year. Thankfully losing the spoonbowl and last week with Moses doing the claw celebration has put them back where they belong in my head.

Penrith was the team I hated most after what Ivan did to us but the top spot has been taken over by the eels and Dogs. Sharing equal first

David Fifita in the forwards would be great perhaps Des can be persuaded to let him go

If you get the best of him he absolutely fills a need. Getting him firing seems to be a bit difficult though.

 

[JC99]

Fifita clearly seems unmotivated at the Titans (not sure why he stayed) and Hasler seems happy to let him continue doing it.

I'd back Benji, Luai and the boys to get Dave Fifita back up and firing

Make no mistake, at his best he is a super elite talent. He can do what no other players in the league can, and I pray the Tigers look at him come November 1st and push for an early release.

 

[ATown]

Have you been watching ?
He’s made plenty of attacking impact in 5 games, hits gaps at pace, not sure why this never happens for us ?

Yeah he’s started pretty well. The Raiders have the ESL on lockdown.

 

[GCfan]

Oh f me. He is a Bulldogs Junior from Berala (Bears).

Yeah. But it says Bears so must be a sign

Does Des wanna swap for a 5/8, his dad loves a blue and gold jersey too. Especially the gold.

No way for $1M. Do you think Titans would chip in $250k?
