Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Taylan is a no brainer for us if he ticks the boxes.

The fact that we're not in for him is 1 of 2 things IMO:
- They met him and he's an absolute head case who they believe will mess up again
- There is another centre we have signed already

If it's the former, it's strange that Wayne Bennett seems okay with him.

He's a no brainer if we haven't lined up someone better . And I think we have

Maybe we are in for him . Maybe we offered him league minimum and he’s testing his value in the market place .
I thought it was very telling that his manager said “they’re one of 3 clubs”. That seemed very much the thing you say when you view them a backup option .
“Yea , I like her . She’s an option!” ….

Well it’s not. Tallyn isn’t requesting releases, throwing tantrums in the sheds after games, bagging the coach etc.

It’s a bit rough on TDS, he’s still a WT player and hasnt caused any issues or drama while at the club. He hasn’t even said he’s leaving.

For all any of us know, he may yet re-sign. It could all just be a management play to get a higher offer or even clarity on the succession plan.

I like Tallyn I really do.

But from this article, Tallyn and his manager are dictating to the tigers saying we can't resign api or Tallyn will leave.

THey haven't given a middle ground option.

API gets a new contract = Tallyn leaves .

I am sorry but I am over the club being bent over....

If he wants to go he can go then.

I take the statements literally, as they quoted word for word.

I love Benji, and I want him to succeed. But I just can’t help but think he’s got himself in too deep sometimes.

I dont love Benji, id like him to succeed but i doubt he will.

As for @Tucker death riding the club mentioned earlier, thats not true.

As i understand it, he simply has high standards.

And in the broad, i agree with his approach to keep pushing and agitating for excellence.

So when Benji was holding out the Storm as the benchmark for 20 years, id imagine Tucker thinks we shouldve been.

So we probably need as many death riders as we do happy clappers.

Thats how we get change. Thats how we got rid of Lee and Co.

And we need to build a string of building and competive years.

If we are serious about our place in the game, we should be the finals or threatening to be there in successive years.

Using the power of the storm over the last 20 years as an excuse to the flogging was laughable.

What the storm side did in 2005-2025 has zero impact on the 2025 tigers!

Its third hand info but I have heard there is a broncos player on their way to the tigers (my friend is close to a former broncos great)

Another forum member also posted that he had heard something at an origin even from someone who was drunk but friends with a player manager.

Could be speculation but if it's from two sources then there's obviously some merit to it.

I wouldn’t take anything agents say in the media literally, ever. It’s all negotiation tactics.

Nothing Tallyn has said or done has indicated in the slightest that he wants to leave or ‘bend the club over’.

There’s no point getting upset at a player about something that they havnt done or may not even happen.

It makes you wonder why he is #22 this week and how Tristan Hope has just overtaken him out of no where. TDS was terrible vs Storm but I think it would be widely agreed he was offering a lot in his 25 minute role off the bench prior to that. Definitely not deserving of being punted after 1 poor one.

Might be seeing things but looks like the opposition pick him out when he comes on and he’s not physical enough to control the ruck in D. Makes sense to me to give him some more time in KOE.
