Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Furious1]

Just read Harrison Hassett is leaving the Panthers anyone know his new club ?

Wayne Bennett was keen on him when he was coaching the Dolphins....maybe Souths

You'd have to consider it. He is basixally Farnworth without the polish, but half the price.

You'd be mad not to WT. He's a very good footballer with a great attitude.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Do you have an inside run on this or more of a gut feel? Won't probe any more than that 😉

You don't strengthen your roster by letting one of your best players go. You continue to build around him with other good players and excellent juniors.

If were talking outside backs.

Mark Nawaqanitawase​

is asking for over 500k and the roosters have said No.

Would this fit your idea of a "quality back"?

We paid Nofa $525 a few years ago under the fruit pascal regime let sink in and then ask the question again.
If we didn’t need a 10 and a 13 so badly you’d have a talk with him.

Can Mark play centre or Fb competently?

Actually can he play 10 or 13. Every time I think of us signing a player that is not a prop, makes my cogs mesh.

Zero chance Mark N comes to the Wests Tigers …

Good player … but I think it’s either stay with Uncle Nick or back to Yawnion…

Tigers have bigger needs to throw their remaining money at ..

He has no yardage game, our squad is not developed enough yet not to have yardage wingers.

I was at the Roosters v Souths game with a Bunnies lower grade coach and he was pointing it out to me.

I like Marky Mark, but a lot of the hype around him is based on sizzle. I noticed early in the season how deft and silky his hands are, and it’s great for the highlight reel. But he’s still a long way off being considered an elite winger imo. He’s no To’o or Coates.

spot on

I mentioned in here before if they are not willing to publish the salary of each player I would like a club total of the amount each club spent for the year including TPA's for each grade


Would be interesting to know that the 16 million Broncos beat the 12 million Tigers


But then the illusion of a fair competition would unravel

Here's something I learnt the other day; the clubs don't pay the salaries of the players, the NRL do.

Both are great. Marky Mark is in great form. Id be going hard for him.

Yes he would be a great buy , BUT at present we don’t need more backs , we need two forwards with class and that will see us challenging for a top 8 spot next year

👍👍

Hopefully the club feels the same way!!

Marky Mark is a centre. Playing wing at a club that needs that spot filled. Do people even watch rugby league

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

If Terrell doesn't want to reduce his minutes and become more of an impact prop I would argue we need to buy an 8 and 10.

No reason we can't train up a competent 13 over the summer out of Terrell, Doueihi or Twal knowing that's a position we have to work on.

Here's something I learnt the other day; the clubs don't pay the salaries of the players, the NRL do.

The NRL provides grants to the clubs that are 130% of the value of the salary cap to allow the clubs to pay the players plus some left over money for admin etc. Thus, the NRL does not directly pay the players.

He did support Tigers growing up apparantly haha

Where are these rumors Bula is going coming from besides having Moses as his manager? Based on everything he has said to the media, he wants to stay and win a premiership at the tigers. Have I missed something?

No not at all, just wondering in an alternate reality if he did go could Tiny make a good go of it, pure speculation on my end mate.

Marky Mark is a centre. Playing wing at a club that needs that spot filled. Do people even watch rugby league

He’d be an even better fullback.
If Bula demands a million dollars per season to stay with us, I know who I’d prefer to spend the money on.

He's an out and out winger

In the Souths game he was moved to centre several times in an attempt to burn Wighton.
