OFFICIAL Jeral Skelton #294

[BAGNF05]

If the reported $230k salary is correct, for a likely 1st team winger that’s good business IMO.

The days of spending 350 plus for centres other clubs don’t want are over.

 

[Needaname]

It’s ’offical’ but where is it official?

 

[BAGNF05]

I think an arguement can be made both ways.
Remember we had another forward in Mamamolo but yet we’re still crying out for a bit of pace and agility.

I was a huge fan of his, shame his knees gave up.

Speed is power. If you don’t have enough speed to break tackles, you’re useless in the NRL.

 

[Needaname]

Is this the signing Willie Mason was alluding to?

 

[J.T]

Should be a good signing if it's actually happened but will wait til announced by club. Been burnt by media stories too many times to just take their reports as gospel.

Sounds good to me, a big, tall, strong and fast winger who can put a bit of fear into our opponents.
Personally I would also like Ravalawa to give us size on both wings, but that’s another story.

He can’t make the dogs top side , this is not a great addition , just an average one , Richo needs to do better than this , and the money that’s been said his guys earns with us is just bad $ 475 k. No way he is near that worth, most $ 350 max

He is on $240k a season..
who else is available to fill that wing role, where we start our sets off In good field position?

They likely hadn't seen your apology in the other thread when they responded here. Try not to take things too personally.

Thanks l but we have so many people in this forum just looking to shoot down West Tigers Supporters at any chance , really not a good look , we should be supporting each other and just do a mild comment on other people’s thoughts or comments , not just go out to cut them down at a quick chance , any way it is what it is ( Aaron Woods )

Which movie is that one, I’ve seen a lot but I don’t remember that scene specifically.

Its called Quantum of Solace with Daniel Craig as James Bond..

Good player, but still... we need a right centre! And a big prop. It's our two weakest positions. This guy could play centre though (not really sure). I think Dogs already have Kiraz, Tracey, Addo-Carr and Blake Wilson at wing so it makes sense for them. I'd prefer blake wilson but I'm happy we actually got someone. The right centre position at the Tigers in the last 2 years has been the worst defensive position in the NRL in history! Toa, Staines, Naden, you name it

Here’s where I think so many Tigers fans get it wrong. Not totally wrong but party wrong.

Next time you watch the Tigers pause the game on the 3rd or the 4th when the opposition is on attack. Count our defenders on each side and count their attackers.

I feel that you will see that perhaps half our centre issues and half our winger jamming issues literally come from our defensive line getting stripped for players on one side.

I have opinions on why it happens but it’s not the point I wannnna make. Ask your side why centres looks so bad defensively when they put on our jersey.

Hi guys doggies fan here

Absolutely gutted we lost this guy but happy for the Tigers

He is a good trainer with good work ethic has transitioned in a short period of time which shows his commitment

Gus termed him his special project and believed his best position would be in the second row

Absolute beast of runner with ball in hand regularly posts 300m games in cup and has backed it up in NRL He also snaps guys in half regularly and surprisingly quick

The criticism of him has been defence particularly in NSW Cup I think it’s a transition thing from sevens at NRL level he has been much better perhaps because of Ciraldos system

Built as a centre he is not there yet defensively with respect to decision making I’m sure he will transition to that position long term though

he is good for a mistake or 2 a game but I think he will continue to improve out of sight

Either way you e got a good one hope he lights up for you guys

PS: we are likely to lose Wilson to Parramatta also from what I am hearing unfortunately or fortunately we are stacked in the outside backs and these 2 are too good for reserve grade

Aghhh crap Taldog. Fans like you make me like the Doggies a little more. I really don’t want to like the Doggies.

Thanks for the information. Genuinely happy for you blokes this year.

Jeral Skelton, will be one of the greatest signings in our history MARK MY WORDS! He’s literally an underpriced Brian To’o! Huge yardage game, incredible post contact, breaks tackles for fun aswell! Literal Taniela Tuiaki clone.

I’ve followed Skelton’s career since the start in NSW cup! He’s always dominated just hasn’t been given enough opportunity 🔥

We are in for a real treat 2025!
Bro has already had 2 x 300 metre games this season! That’s ELITE. A pairing of Turuva and Skelton on either wing is almost a guaranteed 400+ metres combined every game!! If Olam and Skelton like up together on the same side, I would be checking for broken ribs if I was the opposition. That fear factor is gonna be incredible.

I like the idea of this bloke being a Taniela Tuiaki clone. we've needed someone like that since Tuiaki was injured and not able to play again. Just hope all the hype about him is correct.

Someone stuffed up by saying it’s official when it’s not.

 

[Robbie's Love Child]

I see Luke L and Skelton as our starting wingers next year, Staines etc offer next to nothing while Luke L has shown he is a yardage eater and has plenty of potential for someone so young.
