Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

- WT are interested in Qld 19s half Javon Andrews for next year

- Heamasi Makasini turns 18 next week and will immediately come into contention for a place in first grade. There seems little doubt he will play at some point in coming weeks.

Andrews is a quality young player and would be a good insurance policy for Luai clause and any injuries.

Yeah he is too, not a bad option either

He's a terrible option. Your list was good without him. Guaranteed error and penalty per game. I've seen enough of those players.

Anyone got the Javon Andrews article?

 

[crazycat]

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

Look, he knows who he is dealing with and how much that guy hurt our club.

Had LG not been a part of our season and we got someone around the same level... We would have been 10th, pinching the top 8.

AD and Galvin have given us a FU. Lets cut them and set a standard.

 

[Tcat]

feel for Charlie 🙁 had a shocker thought Benji would just stick with him

He was that bad that he deserves a spell. He needs to have a look in the mirror and remind himself that NRL players should be able to catch a ball.

 

[crazycat]

Take a breath.

I assume you feel this way about Bula too right?

Not at all.

Bula was our mistake. We brought Galvin to the club which brought Issac Moses in ....

Bula's manager which we got him went off to be a trainer with the dogs, Galvin and co introduced Issac Moses...

AD gone "hey that guy that screwed our club. I will sign him as manager".

Punt him to the Kerb!

Balls in Douiehi’s court if he wants more money. Prove he is the starting 13 we’re looking for and I’m sure we’d happily pay him more. Until he has done that, 350/400 is what he is worth. I’m sure he knows that.

Don’t expect him to punch out 120metres,80 minutes etc this season - he needs an offseason to do that - but he needs to show there’s a bloody good chance he can do that (or something close) moving forward if he wants 500 (or more).

I feel he can do it, let’s hope I’m right for everybody’s sake.

I wouldn't go within cooee of Hetherington, he ain't going change his ways at this stage of his career. Knights don't want him for good reason. Last thing the Tigers need is another mistake riddled player with shocking discipline.

I think the players that make a difference show it every week and many Knights players don't. The best ones are Sharpe and Lucas.

 

[I_m_a_Tiger]

Need Bud Sullivan off contract to pay Doueihi that sort of money I reckon...

Jahrome should be chipping in at this stage

Yea, he is worth 350k/400k.

But how much is the nonsense worth?
Had we not had the Galvin drama... our club would have been mid comp IMHO.

Seriously, he signed IM. He has asked for BS, he can get lost.

 

[magpies forever]

The Tigers' current offer for Adam Doueihi is believed to be worth around $350,000 a season. Dragons offer is $400k.

Thanks. I thought someone said earlier we had upped our offer to $400k from $350k? Reckon if we match St George he will stay with us. At $400- $450 (about) he is still good value for a couple of seasons more.

He won’t leave us for $50k

 

[I_m_a_Tiger]

If you dropped every player after having a shocker, half the team every second week would be shaking hands with Arron Payne. Charlie has shown more passion than most over the past month. Skelton has had some terrible defensive reads of late, but I guess Benji is okay with that.

Anyway he now has to be consistent and drop any player that has a shocker

Staines too small. No yardage.

Yes the Moses thing was an eyebrow raiser, but so far there has been no nonsense. I’d be surprised if there is on this deal tbh.

He has a few games he has made some real good yardage. What I am wondering is how fast is he? He came in as meant to being one of the games speedstars. 3 Years later and I just don't ever remember him flying. He made a half break on the weekend and while not in the clear, looked like he was ambling a bit

Galvin played for the club probably before he even had a manager. Moses was already at the club with Brooks, Bateman, Klemmer and a few others but carry on.

Probably easier to just say you don’t like Doueihi.

Just FYI Kai pierce Paul had against the Warriors

11 hit ups for 115m (55 Post contact metres) and 43 tackles. None missed (2 ineffective)

He can do the tough stuff as well by the looks.

 

[CornerPost]

Sign Bullemor for 500k for 4yrs
With his leg speed taking the 3 hit up it would change everything in attack.. our halves play the best on the front foot .. Bullemor will do that for us ..

He, Staines was 100% a speedster at Penrith.

We have to be careful on whom we keep.

Were talking a choice between:
Staines
AD

We can't have both, I would have kept AD 2-3 months ago. Now that he has signed with Issac moses and middle fingered our club... Don't let the door smack you on the arse AD.

Now? Staines can cross the line, but I am really worried about his defense.

We have to be careful on whom we keep. I really don't know if Staines is someone we should be keeping at all.
