Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion
- Thread starter MacDougall
- Start date
Just a rumour
No indication that it would be mid season.
I like the idea of Spencer Leniu and Royce Hunt together

wingers seem to be a spot they think they can “get by” …been that way for a while …. They need something more than developing guys with less than 10 games between them.., they need to be able to do plenty of work these days …at both ends of the field… and it would be good to have an experienced campaigner next season
Luke L has taken a jump this year … has looked good apart from the first game … but he is gone and you would think Maka has a big question mark after next year..Skelton probably has his bags packed
Winger is the biggest need for 2027 outside back up 9
Old Charlie would be handy right now.
Hope hes doing well

Would have to take a paycut to come here you would think. At least for next year.

I have heard he is going well at Catalans …playing fullback ! The Perth Bears rumoured to have interest ( another one..) …
he is too small for a winger these days ..so wouldn’t have been a fit for for us ,,

What is it with this club and foot injuries.
More foot injuries than you can poke a stick at.
I'm beginning to think foot injuries is a euphemism.
Does anyone connected with the club use air quotes when they say foot injury? I'm curious to know.
Do we need to employ Dr. Scholl?

I guess all those writing off the interim CEO may have to accept he's done a good job with the latest signing and getting Luai off the books

Spencer Leniu is reportedly '75 per cent' of the way to joining former teammate Jarome at PNG
Is his contract up end of next year? If he could somehow swing him for rest of this year and next then there could be some value there.
Swap them for one of their good players. Like, er, y'know, that one guy. Nah I got nothing.

I wonder if it has anything to do the type of boots they are wearing, the stud pattern can effect feet. Back when I was playing league for my school & soccer for my local club and regional reps I ended up getting a different pair (both pairs with screw in studs) for league with a different pattern, the Physio at Blacktown City blamed my foot problems on wearing my soccer boots while playing league with the wrong stud pattern & wrong length studs.
I ended up with a pair of Adidas with more smaller diametre studs on it (12 or 14 from memory) for league whilst wearing my usual 10 stud Pumas for soccer.

Excerpts from https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/cl...rs-retained-jahream-bula-20260505-p5zts2.html
The joint-venture outfit on Tuesday confirmed the news this masthead broke over the weekend - that Bula would forgo an opportunity to test his market worth by opting to stay put. Significantly, the new deal has no get-out clauses, and will cost the Tigers less than $1 million per season, before ratchet clauses are factored in.
Tigers recruiter Shannon Gallant had done most of the heavy lifting in negotiations, and when chief executive Shaun Mielekamp stepped in late last week, one of the most intriguing contract sagas in the modern game finally came to an end.
“What was really important in all of our conversations was what was best for Jahream,” Mielekamp said.
“It was about what was best for him as a player, as a person, for him to continue to develop his game under Benji, for him to be part of the culture of this club. They were the really genuine considerations.
“We’re talking about a player of faith, a player who believes in club values and has seen this club go through some pretty crazy times. Even for just Jahream’s own personal journey, he wanted to know this club is the real deal behind the scenes and not just smoke and mirrors. A big part of this is the values of the club, what we stand for and what we mean.”

Has anybody else noticed our reserve grade winger. fiangaa and how bloody well he plays ? Anyone know his story or if the club have him signed up for next year ? Every time I have seen them play he is pretty much the standout player

I heard Twal made 62 tackles on Sunday …. How much overtime can he do?

Seen him play a few weeks back Ned and was thinking the same thing yesterday, a real goer, if he could handle the high ball you'd give him a shot.
