Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[crazycat]

Were we bullied, or did we roll over?

What do we do here then?

Keep Galvin and just play him at Reggie's, have all of Moses players pissed off at us leading to a total season derailment and spoon 4?

We got rid of the troublemaker! That's what we did. Galvin GONE!

Look it's how life works. Once a relationship becomes irrepairable you only have 2 choices:
1. move on.
2. Gross and pathetic life sized mannequins, while living in denial.

Moving on is the right decision. The lesson learned is not to hire Moses players and to never develop off his talent.

Did Ponga actually play?

Faatape should be called up if thats the current best practice.

Ponga would be better than Walsh. Walsh would of made 5 mistakes tonight.

Doggies to officially announce galvin after origin
Richo might do the same and announce our new signing or signings soon

Richo has already announced the signings

 

[Fainu Brothers]

KPP 🔜 hethrington?

Young dogs outside back possibly who is stuck behind Kiraz, Critter, Xerri and Montoya. Wilson is a good winger, could replace staines as depth

I like Wilson.

Can't defend at all though.

Thought Wilson was Dragons bound

Bill needs to drop a few players i think.

NSW weren't great.

I want the same team so NSW can win by 50

New signings,please that will do me... we have be hearing that same old tune for weeks now ......and crickets.
I think Richo is calling everyone's bluff on this story, i think we will hear nothing on the signing stage until after the 2025 comp is completed.

Ponga is absolutely cooked.

May would be the fastest back at the club if he signs.

Not so sure about that.
Over 100m, I’d bet that Riley Oitmann (Wests SG Ball) would be in front at the 70m mark, with Bula catching him with a lunge at the tape

May finishing back in the field,
weighed down by excessive body ink 🤔

I'm certain the Knights have finally broken him....
His body language of late - you can see it's really getting to him.

A few weeks ago in a press conference with AOB after a loss, when AOB was asked if he would make changes, AOB basically said they had no one better, and Ponga, with no subtly rolled his eyes and shook his head. Maybe he should have treated himself to a strawberry milkshake.

If we obliterate qld in round 2, Laurie can call up his reserves and stragglers for soo 3 and hopefully we could see some wests tigerage in the big show.

That said, @Tucker, theres now a case for AD to play origin for his kicking skills.

We cant chill out and think kicking is optional -unless billy chooses the same soul deprived team.

The feeling is mutual im sure.

A $1.4m a season doorstop!

Maybe those rumours of him defecting to rugby are true?
He doesnt look like he gives a stuff.

I seen that look on Ponga during the last knights flogging, that look of despair, and realisation that he’s wasted most of his prime years and he’s never gunna win a gf in his career at the knuts. Oh well there are 6x zeros next to that number in my bank account. And in 2.5years I could sign with someone else.
Sooner if he changes manager to Isuk Measles.

 

[TSP]

Walsh should get the nod over Ponga, hes not as classy, hes a bit of a sook, but he rolls up his sleeves or wears his nail polish...

Do you think it’s OK for players to place ultimatums on the club, dictate who the club can and can’t sign and determine what their pathway to full time nrl should be? The tigers have invested in Tallan’s development and provided a clear pathway to become their first grade hooker in a reasonable timeframe learning his trade off one of the best in the game.
These comments from TDS‘s manager, which are endorsed by TDS unless he states otherwise, display the same entitlement that led to the Galvin situation:

"We can't talk to clubs at this stage but five have told me that if Tallyn goes to the marketplace, they are keen.

"It's up to the Tigers to decide what they want to do but if Api stays, chances are Tallyn will have to go."

It indicates a complete lack of respect to Api and the club. He’s already gone if that’s his attitude.

Tough one. I don't disagree with you but I also don't agree. The club is just like any work place. TDS is absolutely in is right to say "for me to work here i need X to be apart of my contract". Just as the employer has the right to reject or accept those terms. Obviously all players want to play first grade, finals and grand finals. And tigers from all reports are hard to deal with while also having poor results. Gives players alot of hand in the negotiations

 

[GNR4LIFE]

It’s karma for Ponga as far as I’m concerned. He’s always been on the nose for me ever since he totally shat on Nathan Brown after Brown was sacked.

 

[TSP]

I was sitting down with woofy lasf night and put the question to him Api v Tallyn.

And he had trouble with his tapping his morse code so gave me a salute with his paw.
