Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Simpkin would have to be the biggest flop I’ve seen. He was the next QLD #9 according to most tigers fans (myself included, I won’t lie) based on a few reserve grade highlights
In fairness I do think the pandemic messed up his development to an extent. He missed like 14 months of footy maybe even more.
 
Knights will be offering him a starting 9 spot on starting 9 coin. If TDS was going to be convinced by Benji's vision for him he would of decided already IMO. We can't match what the Knights are offering.
Other than the distraction of the beautiful beaches, area and lifestyle, there’s no way I’m taking my career there. I can’t see good times ahead for them with Ponga and Brown on buckets of bucks, and AOB has a million $ sacking fee apparently, so they ain’t getting a better coach anytime soon either. But buckets of bucks will help you forget the losses I guess.
 
Api all day.
Exactly
When the time comes for another full time number 9 (API Retires)
There will be plenty to go after,
What we need now is someone on the bench who can cover multiple positions preferably hooker,half or lock.
If TDS leaves I wish him all the best with his search for a starting role.
Or he could end up like Liddell and be coming off the bench at another club.
 
TDS might become a great number 9, but he is not there yet and won't be for a few years.
He wants the cash and starting role which is fair enough but no many clubs will give him this except the knights, Parramatta and possible cowboys
 
I was going to post along similar lines. My question was going to be thinking back 12 months ago, who would you have said were our most promising juniors. Most would have said Galvin, both the Large boys, TDS and Makasini. A year later three have gone, one looks like he's on the way out and only Makasini is staying ..... for the moment. Don't care what anybody says, as a fan this guts me.
Don't worry mate. We have other 15-16 year olds coming through who we can release in 3-4 years time and watch become stars at other clubs.
