Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The club’s position is obvious. Benji doesn’t rate him, and would prefer a mid 30’s Api. It sheds light on why TDS has spent so much time in KOE lately.

Young players drop back to Cup all the time but only at the Tigers it's because the coach doesn't rate him.

I’m guessing tallyn would be going to parra , brown to newy and kpp to us . which is silly because we’ve already signed kpp i don’t care for getting him early.

You don’t want to try to finish 14th this year instead of 15th ?

When a dropped players goes on to get told they are free to leave, it gives that belief some credence

that’s optimistic, we’re well in the fight for 17th

GNR this morning you were arguing that our club has an overinflated sense of how good our juniors are and were arguing against a big extension for Luke Lauli'lii. Are our juniors good or not? Because at this stage it just seems like all you want to do is stick the boot in.

He's not leaving because the club doesn't rate him I mean Richo has openly said he wants Tallyn to stay

“But just because you give permission to negotiate doesn’t mean you have to accept it. We’re trying to do everything we can to keep Tallyn in our system, but obviously he wants to play first grade and we don’t blame him. We’ll see how it unfolds.”

If the club intends that he can be approached prior to 1 Nov, perhaps it would look at swap options from all interested clubs.

Exactly.

Blake Mozer is older than Tallyn and hasn't seen any first grade this year, yet he just re-signed.

Richo explains pretty well what the position is actually

He explained it but there are many people who draw conclusions based on the tidal influence of the position of the moon to my man moon.

 

[diedpretty]

Have I missed something....has someone been released?

Nope but all the naysayers and death riders have half of our current juniors and those of the future already out the door.

 

[Glenji95]

Well surely Richo slaps him and tells him to wake up and smell the roses.
Api’s days of playing 80mins as a number 9 finished 4 years ago, we need Da Silva playing 30-40mins each game immediately.

Respectfully have to disagree, TDS at least you could give 20-25 minutes at this stage in first grade. Anything more than that he’s not ready for giving him 30-40 won’t result in a win for us. Unless we’re already up by 40-50 and you know we’re gonna win, you wouldn’t give him that long just yet.

First of all, I said the forum does, not the club. Secondly, there is a balance to the argument. Saying you think people put them on a pedestal doesn’t mean you think none of them should be re-signed.

He’s leaving cos the club plans on prioritising 33 year old Api. I love Api, but not to the extent we should sacrifice TDS. Doubt many other clubs would.

 

[tigahhh]

ironically Newcastle has more 9’s than we do , but whatever floats ur boat richo

 

[Tcat]

This is Benji’s call apparently

I think Benji has had it with young blokes that think they are the next big thing after Galvin gate.

 

[Glenji95]

While I can understand TDS being frustrated that he’s stuck behind Api, him throwing a fit doesn’t portray him in a good light. Talented as he is he basically doesn’t want to earn his spot and would rather throw a tantrum then work hard for it. These Campbelltown kids are stuck up and some need a reality check.

Where is this imaginary fit coming from? What has he said or done that’s so egregious?

 

[Glenji95]

Do we tho? Api is still producing at a high level let's not make it out like he's been in shit form

At best you could give him 20-25, anything more than that is ridiculous at this stage. Unless we’re up by 40-50 you won’t give TDS that long just yet.

Him basically asking the club and his manager to allow negotiations elsewhere shows he’s clearly gone to management and basically demanded he gets prioritised. Yes he’s younger and will be around longer than Api will be, but him not wanting to work hard and earn his spot is a red flag. The kids once wanted to work hard and earn their spot, now all they want is for them to be given rather then earn it. He’s a talented kid, but he’s no messiah.
