OFFICIAL Jeral Skelton #294

Happy with this pickup opposite to what we have, if he can hold the ball and not run out of the line he will be a hit.

Bula, Turuva, Staines and Skelton will get us some meters at the back & get the sets running alot better than what we have now.

Now for some forward signings!!
 
I am so thirsty for a signing that I will drink this in like in that James Bond movie where he gives the guy a can of engine oil to drink whilst he is left in the middle of the desert to die of thirst
 
Pretty much the exact metre gaining outside back we need. He has 2 x 300+ metre games this season!

I don't think he's the most skillful or anything- but that is ok. He has a job to do & he seems to do that job well. I'd assume it's not an 'enormous' deal either.

Turuva & Skelton into the outside backs next season. One more for depth, or if possible, to step in & start- and the backline starts to get a bit of a look to it.

Isiah Tass inside Skelton would look interesting. Turuva outside Olam. When Doueihi & Staines etc become 'depth'...
 
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.

The Wests Tigers have dipped into their $2 million war chest to make another significant signing, with Bulldogs wrecking ball Jeral Skelton to join Benji Marshall’s side next year.
Sketon will follow Panthers pair Jarome Luai and Sunia Turuva to Concord after agreeing a two-year deal on Tuesday.


The addition of Skelton will fill a huge hole for the Tigers, who were desperate to add another outside back after the marquee signing of Luai and boom prop Stefano Utoikamanu rejecting a $4 million extension to join the Storm.
Skelton has been restricted to just six NRL matches for the Bulldogs since debuting last year, but has impressed during limited NRL opportunities this season.

The 25-year-old is the cousin of Wallabies star Will Skelton and his signing continues the Tigers’ major roster overhaul, which has included Isaiah Papali’i being allowed to leave his contract early to join Penrith, Utoikamanu activating a clause to leave the club and doubts over the future of John Bateman, who has signed a short-term deal with Sam Burgess’ Warrington.

Skelton has been stuck behind Bulldogs wingers Josh Addo-Carr, Jacob Kiraz and Blake Wilson for the majority of this season.

We got em Dempsey, one of the 1st suggestionsGBHtfT4awAA78Ce.jpeg
 
It's a good buy on paper. Obviously I have doubts about his consistency, but it ticks all the other boxes. Young, right winger (Turuva is a left winger), tall and good in the air. Not sure about his defence though
