Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Makasini will go one of two ways.

1) Not go on to meet the expectations
2) Meets or even surpasses expectations and gets poached

So while it may be exciting right now, ya know it won’t end well for us.

The weak stay weak and the strong get stronger.

Unless… we really turn a corner as a club.

That's where I think Benji potentially has real credibility as a Head Coach. We obviously have money like everyone else and can sign players, but it's got to be more than that, there has to be the drive and respect for the club and the mentors, like Storm has under Bellamy.

Yeah I am a massive Latu fan, but given his injury track record (unfortunately), I think the back up half would consider themselves a chance of getting some starts in NRL. Doubt it happens, but I would be happy with signing him.

Look he did alright when he played. But meh.

plz work it out ,you commented the other day , "guess who isthe manager on some player, most would assume you were talking about moses , after a few moses is a scumbag comments , someone said moses is not his manager , you gave a giggle and said ,sorry i know , SO who is his manager. Your a tender little sole ,aren't you

Moses was his manager when he played

There's a connection there
 
I think the bigger news from that Reynolds snippet is that ex-Wests coach Ben Gardiner has gotten the Bears job. Pretty sure he'll be doing all the coaching, Mal will just manage egos.

Makes Ben Gardiner, Andrew Webster, Ivan Cleary, Todd Payten and Michael Maguire as ex-Tigers employees from past 10 years now all current NRL head coaches.

Dragons , knights , titans , and manly are worse than us . Chuck in souths (Galvin sucks) , and honestly I think we are better than the cowboys , dolphins and eels .
The only teams I think we might not have it against are really Melbourne , maybe Canberra and the dogs . I think we are on par with the warriors and roosters .
We just need to start winning . We can beat the raiders , they’re due . And then we have dads army the sea eagles after than and the roosters . We will win a few im sure of it .

Yea, that's the really sad thing with the NRL. We have easts and Donkeys working out supplimental payments and post NRL careers.

..

but, here's what gets me. Who in the NRL has the best post-NRL careers:
Woodsy - Triple M. some media.
Braith Anasta - TV (although mainly recognised for Dogs/Easts)
Beau Ryan - Comedy/Triple M.
Benji Marshall - Footy show veteran + Various media.
Josh Reynolds - Lowes

Kinda surprised more players aren't joining us for that reason. If you have played for the Tigers and Bulldogs, a media gig seems very likely.

Are you saying we’re a shoe in for a top 4 spot?

Junior Topou - Dolphins desperately need another forward to replace some long term injuries, but have no Top 30 spots … but the thing is they can’t give poor old Junior away …. How bad must he be going ? The grass aren’t always greener ..

I’m one of the few people that rate him.

If got coached properly he’d be a gun.

Can see him going to Melbourne.

Some games he played for us he was the best on the ground.

I am with you 100%. Anyone with that build, that height, that pace, that tackle breaking ability could exceed in the NRL. He is unlucky he is behind two good wingers at Redcliffe, but he would start for alot of teams. He is different to Turuva and Skelton, but definitely not worse, if anything a higher ceiling.

I would not go for him, as we have too many other problems to sort than to spend decent money on another winger. I think wingers you can cover with stop gap players etc if needed (EG - Montoya at Dogs), and I still don't think he comes back that cheap. Until we sort out 3-4 forwards, but otherwise definitely
