It's a been a long time guys. I'm back. Miss me?

[smoking_gun]

Hi smoking gun any of this rumour a result of the Cronk news, or subject to change in light of the Cronk news?

I do recall your strike rate being a bit dodgy last time around, no offence.

I think I got one major signing news wrong last time. I was here outside of that I did break tuquiri and Adam Blair signings months before they were official.

All I'll say on Cronk is this. Cleary is the godfather of cronks kid.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

If this is the case it's pretty safe to assume to club is sick of being held to ransom or Cleary has had his say either way im glad. We can actually rebuild and have a losing team while we do it or carry on as we are paying way over the odd's for players and have a losing team.

Someone has to stop the rot hopefully Cleary can take the bull by the horns, its clear none of the other since Sheens were capable of doing it.

I for one would have preferred the Moses deal to be restructured also…

 

[05TIGZ]

Great info, are you reliable? ?

I have been known to be reliable in the past. I wasn't a fav amongst admin here previously though

You related to tiger torch?

 

[Fade_To_Black]

We'll take Moylan, Blake and Hiku off Penriths' hands if the Panthers feel that the trio have been too naughty. Would be happy with that.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Give Teddy 5 years. I know its dangerous giving guys contracts at that length but sometimes exceptions are warranted.

i like the 2 years for Brooks. Hasn't proven himself enough to earn a long term commitment. This Cronk news must hit Isaac Moses for 6 lol. Club definitely appears to have the upper hand on the halves now.

Cronk doesnt have a kid. Cool story though.

Maybe he quickly picked one up from eBay?

 

[TiggaPlease]

Would rather it be Moses having his contract length and price adjusted.

That's not gonna happen I believe. Him and tedescos offers will remain. Tedesco on about 925k and Moses 765k per year. Tedesco management want a 5 year deal in place minimum though. Moses is a 3 year offer with player option of 4th

Moses isn't worth half that to be honest. That's established outstanding performer salary, and he ain't one of those.

Market determines what a player is worth unfortunately

Lol

 

[supercoach]

I am more interested in who they are talking to from outside the club, because one thing is for certain the so called big four need plenty of help.

I would like Teddy's deal to be three with a option and Brooks and Moses both two with a option. As for contract value, Moses is worth no more than Brooks and I am one of the few who would probably take Brooks before Moses if it was my call.

I would not be surprised if Brooks ends up at the Brooks or Melbourne next year

 

[BlackandGoldForever]

that is about the 3rd time I have seen that Clearly is Cronls Godfather where the hell is that rumour coming from?

I heard along those lines that Cleary had some tie to cronks family. Could be all smoke though.

 

[gallagher]

More years for Woods or less years??
Good to hear we've wised up to Brooks.

The coaching situation of the last 3 years hasn't helped brooks in the slightest but he is on the nose at the tigers for what he was asking for. I'd hope he would sign and see what Ivan can do with him for the next 2 years atleast.

As for other players full expect a clean out of the 16 players off contract you can probably say good bye to atleast half of them.

If Brooks ends up at Melbourne, watch he'll become the next Cooper Cronk. And we'll be left with Benji Mk. 2\. I would definitely take Brooks over Moses - from a value perspective, and likely potential as well. I think Moses has shown the kind of player he is, and he's put many more people offside through his general demeanor recently.

Tedesco can have 5 years, I'd be happy with that. Woods I don't really care anymore, whatever, they can figure something out.

 

[tigerap]

What I can reveal is that the original contracts to woods and brooks have been pulled and are being restructured (based on years of contracts for woods and amount of dollars and years for brooks)

Tedesco will re-sign.

New players tigers have been in discussions with are Albert vete from the warriors and whare from Penrith. But I'm sure to hear more in the coming weeks about other players which I'll update in this thread.

I'm also hearing idris and kavin naq won't be on the books next year.

last week Ben Matulino was in the bag….has the club backed out?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Next thing someone will do a google search and find out Cronk doesn't have a sister.
