Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[mtd#2]

If it is true, the 3 who seem the most likely are AD, Twal & Seyfarth.

Which is odd, considering all 3 have been part of Benji's plans this season...

🤔 benji said they were sick

Api is on 100% Footy Tonight ...

DCE like stunt 🤪

Buzz trying to say on 360 that the three unnamed players at dinner with Lee and Pascoe “ was a massive slap in the face to Benji and Richo “… and even Brent Read wouldn’t agree with him …

Here’s a conspiracy theory TS, dinner was set up by Isaac Moses for his 3 clients in the top 17 … AD, Bula & Sukkar. Organised under the intent of discussing a sponsorship opportunity but IM knowing the circus it would start to create for his arch nemesis BQM.

Pearce-Paul hit hard in a few tackles against the Warriors. I thought he played well and is strong in defence as well as looking to unload. Unfortunately, the Knights don't take advantage of his ability to promote the ball.

Nothing will change when he gets here! Our halves don’t know how to effectively use their edge forward runners. Sukkar and Bird got no ball at all on the weekend and had to go looking for it. They are just used as decoy runners and teams are catching on so not effective anymore. They need to spread the ball out to forward edge runners to attract defenders.

 

[crazycat]

except he didn’t when we played them lol

re jack De Belin...

Yea a spent force.
He was passionate about the Red V and perhaps a good buy 2 years ago.
He really has passed his prime and I am unsure why Parra has brought him.

funny You and Benji agree.

Benji was fuming at the press confrence and said we were lost. Particularly in the first half.

Dessie must be putting Brasso on the Resume.

 

[Canadian Club]

who was around when they were at the club? couldn’t be too many players left to help narrow it down.

Would have to be AD, Seyfarth and Twal. Not many others were there at the time. Bula, Sione and Pole were only just making their way into the NRL squad in Pascoe and Lee's last year and Api was only under them for a year. Everyone else in the 17 arrived after they left.

A huge well done to the unsung hero, Alex Twal.
Another great effort yesterday of almost 100 metres in only 30 minutes, plus his usual 100% tackle efficiency. This guy is so underrated and vilified on here.

On the other side of the coin can someone tell Sukkar the ball isn't covered in spiders.
2 carries yesterday to go with his regular 4 carries of previous weeks, with only an 86% tackle efficiency.
If you're not going to participate in attack you better be the best defender on the field, causing turnovers, putting fear into runners. He isn't.

If he wants to be a spectator can he just buy a ticket like the rest of us.

Yeah we will let him know about the spiders and where he can buy tickets!

Roster turnover will be key to the success of the club, obviously.

I think we probably have 22 players on the books at this point for next season-
Backs-

1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. To'a
4. Skelton
5. Luke Lualili'i
6. Luai
7. Latu Fainu
8. Mason
9. Saukuru

Forwards-
10.Terrell May
11. Twal
12. Samuela Fainu
13. Sione Fainu
14. Pole
15. Koroisau
16. Seyfarth
17. Bird
18. Hunt
19. Kit Lualili'i
20. Sukkar
21. Pierce-Paul

22. Sullivan?

So who fills the remaining 6-8 spots?

23. Taylan May
24. Makasini?
25. Doueihi?
26.
27.
28.
29.
30.


How these remaining spots are filled is vital. It'll be interesting to see what the club does. I know we want extra back rowers etc- but we are light on in CONTRACTED backs right now. I expect May to sign. Do they promote Makasini early? I'm starting to think you just play your most talented players regardless- so I'd be ok with him in the mix.

Does Doueihi become an important retain? Staines? Who from outside joins NEXT SEASON to get the squad over the line?

Why would we retain Doueihi after he signed Issac Moses as an agent?

Seriously, why?

He watched how that wrecked our club. How Galvin walked and it's a massive Middle finger at the tigers.

Massive insult to the club, massive insult to Benji and a bunch of people who backed him when he was injured.


Get him off the roster.

 

[innsaneink]

Not sure what the hell they’re trying to “flog” on that budget website but possibly getting into player management.

What's the website?

You do know he hasn’t signed with Moses. Moses is enquiring for him but he’s not managing him yet.

Trying to think...

Bula (just),
Seyfarth,
Pole,
AD,
Toa,
Staines,
Api (though I doubt he would be there).
Matumua and that other nobody 2rf Tumeth? maybe....

If were going to have stupid games like this, people can walk.
Look ZERO problem with Pascoe or Lee turning up at a Tigers event and backing the team in the open, ZERO. Zero problem with a player genuinely catching up with Pascoe or whatever. But this BS, man they can walk.

Lets build pride in the team again.

 

[weststigerman]

We knew this was likely …

I’d be keeping him even if we have to go to $450k. We have zero depth and need experienced utilities like him at the club.

I’d be trying to get Garner back at the club too.

Take a breath.

I assume you feel this way about Bula too right?

I would take Garner back as he is a very good player who runs good lines and can cover Centre if needed.

tbf bula signed with isaac pre galvingate, doueihi engaged him afterwards.

 

[batboy]

I call Rubbish!!
Tigers don't play September Footy,
He's like 6 Weeks away - From not having a job.

I'd bet my hump he thought managing himself, Clubs would just come knock on his door asking him if he wants a contract? He's tried it his way and it ain't working.
He's engaged Moses to help sell him somewhere is all, Not as easy as he thought is my thinking.

He'll get a gig, But his days at 600 are long gone - He might need to come to terms with that

The one time bird got a ball close to the line he dropped it, led to the titans making a break
