FPN and SKD sign with Tigers *Rumour?

[innsaneink]

I don't rate either of them.

I rarely disagree big fella but SKD is in career best form , almost as a good a centre as Justin Hodges

Gotta agree with happy…he is a gangly awkward hard to tackle player...makes something from nothing often

 

[Demps]

SKD is good…
Was another thread about this already though

 

[russelldp]

SKD is awkward for defenders… Loves to cut back against the grain from right to left and has developed a reasonable passing game.

Was close to Roosters' best in the 2014 finals. Had a real go.

SKD would be an awesome signing for us, definitely what the dr ordered. I don't buy into these rumors very much, especially lately, but the Roosters have been said to be shopping SKD around for a while as to make room for Ferguson. And there was a rumor floating around there wouldn't be any announcements till after the Four Nations finishes, which SKD is involved in. Who knows, maybe we might get an announcement this week…....or maybe we won't.

SKD is a huge joke in my house. I'm batting at nearly 80% with the times I predict he will drop the ball. And 90% of those occasions is when he gets tackled after being In open space.

Did finish last year well which has me curious, but who will me and the wife laugh at now?

SKD???? Cant believe some of u experts rate him.

If you like dropped balls,missed tackle and the occasional flashy try,,,,then he is a goer.

No thanks.

SKD has to be better than Lawrence, if this is the reason we were to sign him. As for FPN pass me the vomit bag.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

SKD has been poo in the past but he's in great form at the moment and would be well worth a pickup.

 

[bp_tiger]

really some people on this forum, scream that we dont sign any one and when it is rumoured that we may get 2 players from a club that has gone so much better than we have they scream WE DONT WANT THEM. lets face it we really are not in the position to really chose what we want its what we get. both players are better than what we have and if JT thinks he can work with them than so be it. We need players of 1ST grade standard after what we have lost or next year will again be finished before it starts, and i for one am sick of waiting and people saying wait till we have money BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENS. If they sign then enjoy the moment and get on with it.

 

[foreveratiger]

BP tiger, I see what your saying but to sign players for the sake of saying we signed someone is not what should happen. SKD could be a good pick up for us but it's not to say that he will be playing that good for us, remember his playing with great talent inside and outside him at the Rosters. As for FPN I don't think he can add anything more than we have at the Tigers, Yes more mongrel but gives away plenty of penalties and hasn't got much juice in his tank. I would much rather JT suss things out from now to next year and identifies what players are required to be signed. Maybe has already? Will wait and see.

Dropped balls,missed tackles and the occasional flashy try…...Sounds like a certain CL without the injuries.

 

[happy_tiger]

Well if SKD is so crap why did the Roosters move Tautau Moga on who has been a success at the Cowboys and would be on far less coin ??

If someone has the last South v Roosters game watch it again , while the Roosters got pummelled he was one of the few that kept making yards from dummy half

He wasn't great in 2013 but he is an international player

Like BP I just don't get some , he is far and away better than any other centre at the WT's by a country mile

Beggars can't be choosers if it happens I'm guessing they are doing this to make room for Blake Ferguson since he has begun training

 

[Demps]

SKD > LAWRENCE.

HAPPY WITH IT, IF TRUE.

 

[Sabre]

Not getting my hopes up.
Doesn't sound like the kind of signing we would typically make.

 

[clontarfkid]

No room for SKD with Jennings & Ferguson in the centres..all three quality & expensive.
SKD had a couple of poor seasons,but back to his best in 2014 & miles better than either of our incumbents.
FPN..got plenty of those types already at much lower price.He reminds me of that saying about the boxer Frank Bruno..built like a statue but moves less..

 

[supercoach]

SKD would be very handy, he had a very good 2014, FPN is not what we need,we need a high work load backrower who hits hard and often

No thanks.

I would have agreed with you before last season, but 2014 he was close to the Chooks best back. He was strong in both attack and defense.

Please change the title to this Thread, Tigers sign Merrin :mrgreen:.
Rumours don't you just love them.

I think you may have to settle for Brisbane signs Merrin

 

[Tim Sheens]

Merrin, yeah, that would be a signing (or even a decent rumour) to get excited about.

The other two, well, fence position for me as not fussed either way.
