TIGERS
Have been in discussions with Ryan Cross, while Junior Moors and Mitch Brown remain unsigned

Ryan cross is a smoke screen for the signing of John Grant.

 

[1_4_chicken_chips]

John Grant has already signed according to Brett Pappworth.

 

[sameulcon]

Yes he has signed. But Sheens has a link with Ryan Cross. Talking to him makes it look as though we may sign him when all he was doing was gathering info in regards to Grant. I knew nothing bout Grant before we signed him. Never heard of him. Watch Youtube highlights and he could be anything. Other clubs see these highlights and offer him a better deal and we miss him or he becomes a more expensive signing. He is more than likely on 55k plus incentives.

LOL…you really need to drop this conspiracy theory on John Grant.

You should take up writing screenplays

You will just have to trust me on this one.

As quoted by Pappy,John Grant was offered a train on position by the Brumbys an hour after he put pen to paper with Wests.No conspiracy theories in this one.

I'd trust something more than recruitment officers searching you-tube

Is everyone confused as I am with this thread ?? Isn't Grant signed unfortunately ?? Isn't Cross going to Newcastle in England ??

Yes the Grant signing has been announced by the Wests Tigers, done deal.

Grant is on board. As for Moors, Brown and Daniela, they're all off contract and have not been re-signed by the Tigers as yet, and the later it goes the less likely they will be to stay, unless it's on reduced money.

Tigers coach Tim Sheens sees Grant as the ideal replacement for Dragons-bound utility Tim Moltzen owing to his ability to play wing, centre and fullback.

Here is the original article:

It doesn't seem as though the writer spent much time investigating before putting it out there. Things like Purtell still looking for a deal after he already signed with Bradford etc.
