Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Gonna be expensive to dislodge..thats presuming anyone will want him

I doubt anyone would want him.
Most wouldn't even know who he is.

Rarely plays and he does, he doesn't perform.

The extension was baffling at the time & is going to hurt us.

It really is a poor decision that will impact us these next two years …I’ve said it before ..there was something odd about the decision to re-sign him when they did…another thing we’ll likely never know the reason ..

JMK , is my sons best friend, he loves where he is and loves where he lives , my son has been in his ear about coming to the tigers , he just said it ain’t happening

Nice rumour and with source all over it.
Coming here is a bad idea for both him and Benji.
thanks for sharing.
👍🏻👍🏻

Was out with a few mates that are mad dogs supporters over the weekend, a couple of them are connected with people at the club...Kiraz and Xerri are done with Ciraldo and Gus and could be off to the roosters, Crichton has fallen out of favor with parts of the team and Ciraldo is apparently a harder task master than Madge at his worst. Players feel like they are not getting developed as the focus is more on physicality/wrestle in defense and AOB coming on board has negatively impacted the attack skills coaching. They told me a few interesting stories about incidents of what you could call player abuse....could be ripe for the picking. I wouldn't mind Kiraz at the Tigers.

I want this all to be true so badly

With his shoulder issues and current form, we would be better trying to medically retire him than trying to offload and subsidize (no doubt heavily) his next contract. Of course to seek medical retirement he would have to agree - whether his mind is in that space yet who knows but his current attitude may be a give away.

It was before he got injured tbf.

I know I’m saying I think they’ve upgraded 2. They keep saying our roster is full now

Probably just not game to name who they are because of the backlash they would receive.

I'm really fearing the worst with our history of gifting top 30 spots to players that are nowhere near NRL level currently, or in the foreseeable future.

Good on him. JMK has formed is own career all in own and a very good player.

 

[king_sirro]

Yes please with Kiraz.

Was told that Crichton will go to the chiefs if Too goes.

Kiraz would be a good get and very possible. He is mates with the guy who is likely to be our co captain in the future and we have quite a good leb connection forming. He would fit in seamlessly

He got injured in September mate.

injured after signing an extension

Im sure Toa got injured earlier but carried it for a number of weeks before it got too much late in the year

may to august is 12 weeks so that is a long tine to carry an injury
when he was re-signed he was playing centre for the club

toa needs to go agree

Herbert needs to get back on tue excavator too

 

[Tom Shines]

He got injured in September mate.

After a great start to the season ..he picked up an injury around week 10 that kept him out a couple of weeks …he was never the same player upon his return from the injury

I don't really know when he got injured but my recollection is that he was already playing crap before his signing was announced.

That is at least the way I remember it and could not believe the signing or the length at the contract at the time.

Happy to be corrected but that is the way I saw it.

This is definitely the case ..he was never the same player and wouldn’t put his body on the line ..

Nah he did the arm in the Manly game. Played through it for a while after that but it was after the extension. Crap to extend him but gotta be fair to the club there.
