Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TSP]

May is exceptional and now being spoken about as a possible SOO rep. Many of us did not know how good he was and the fact he seamlessly blended into the team has been a pleasant surprise. If KPP is recruited, he will be part of a close-knit team which includes many premiership winning players. This provide the correct environment for him to blossom especially playing outside of our halves. I believe he is a player of great potential.

"Blossom" superb imagery wd.

Dom Young is looking for a new home...

In today's article:

Young is known to be great mates with fellow Englishman and Knight Kai Pearce-Paul.

There must be something im not seeing with KPP.

From what I’ve seen he is rake thin and shit. I’d have our back row before him any day.

From his Wigan highlights, it looked like he was regarded for his amazing offload skills. Not fast or powerful but could step in traffic and hit a hole to then offload to a player in support.

Another useless Pom, I wouldn't pay him $300,000 a season.

One thing we know about the Roosters, they will pay if they can acquire a player who can get them into a premiership winning position.

* Fantasy talk *

Imagine if we DID sign him & he comes and returns to origin form.

It'd be like Terrell Davis May all over again.
Good player, unwanted by club for whatever reason, comes to Tigers and goes beast mode.

Quite the story.

Definitely worth a shot, Benji's laid back demeanour and ability to encourage players to chase their potential rather then the militant style of a Hasler that has clearly not worked or produced any sort of value for Titans may be the the secret to unlocking the untapped potential he has, i also feel the culture and standards being adopted in the way they are through the coaching and team leaders would suit. At the right price 6/7k with performance conditions it's a no trainer for me

 

[hodgo]

Realistically, if the culture being developed is right, the players coming in will adapt and rise. While I'm not comparing us to Melbourne, culture is why they plug and play players that nobody thinks are great in solid contributors.
It appears benji and the playing group are developing the right culture the next big step for them is to maintain it and bring in players that it assists.
KPP and Fifita have considerable talent, can the culture help drive that to the next level is the key.

The rumour mill is abuzz about a high-profile Origin star joining a massive Sydney club. Stay tuned. This will be big.

No way in hell the Tele would refer to us as a "massive Sydney club". DCE to the Roosters seems most likely.

 

[69tiger]

If the Rooster get DCE, they will have Walker, Sandon Smith, Hugo Savala and a couple behind they all in the halves. Ripe for the picking to pick up a half off the Roosters.

What a position to be in (to have those halves on tap already),Sandon Smith and Hugo Zavala for their short amount of time in the NRL are dynamite -yet they don’t seem to get the Hype or publicity that Laughlin Galvin gets as a player and in my humble opinion they’re better players too!!

 

[jirskyr]

if you are paying KPP 700k or a subsidised david fifita at 700k from titans
no brainer fifita all day

Is "No Brainer" Fifita his new nickname?

A “massive Sydney club” …so it won’t be us then ?

The Tele would never refer to WT as that

SOO players are more than likely high profile but "massive" Sydney club. Typical Telegraph. Our club doesn't leak and especially not about signings.

 

[Ecto-1]

Brandon Smith looks to be going to Souths immediately. Roosters probably freeing up cap space.

You and I must be missing something in KPP.
Break tackles with those skinny legs?
He has speed, that's all I see; AND of course everything else is potential and better coaching.
Anything is possible, but fingers crossed; Richo and Benji can sus. him out better at the interview?

 

[user118245]

Brandon Smith has played played his last game for the Roosters and will move to Souths immediately with the deal expected to be finalised by the end of the week. Souths will pay around $180,000 to secure Smith for the rest of the season.

Crap

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Smith and Young out and they bring DCE in is very good business from them.

Young on 200k based on the media story with Roosters paying the difference effectively immediate is very good business. I wouldn’t have any issues if he joined us on that price.
