Are the Tigers still after Aiden Guerra? This could be a solid pack next year?

good solid pack we would need a good bench
we also still have to buy a fullback,winger,5/8 and centre unless we decide on mcqueen being a centre

Things are really starting to move along. Great to see the club recognising it's deficiencies and rectifying them. Get a decent forward pack that gets the other mob back-pedalling and Luke Brooks might start resembling Cooper Cronk. It'd be great if Woods stays but I hope Tedesco is taking this all in.

Woods was "rumoured to have said the reason he was leaving was because he was the only decent prop and needed support" whether it's too late for Woods to change his mind or not who knows.
Matulion's signing was one of the worst kept secret going around, obviously woody doesn't read the forum.
 
I'm excited by what Cleary can do with a clean slate and a large chequebook. I'd rather they both leave now,no backflips,let's keep the new bus rolling

Come on mate. Did you not see Guerra get trampled by Joel Thompson today? It was embarrassing. I would much rather have CHN, Marketo, Akaoula or Bodene Thompson. Aside from that though pretty decent looking forward pack.

I wouldn't take Bodene back or Guerra. Would rather take a look at Akaoula if Cleary could convince him.
 
Guerra I thought didn't play too bad.

Matulino is a great signing, well done management.

A pack like this would do wonders

Can someone get the stats on how many games he has played for the last two years, injuries and suspensions?

Who knows? He might not get the game time he gets here.
 
Great to see another Ben at the club :slight_smile:

He looks to be a great signing, along with McQueen.
Hopefully he can bring Vete & Johnson with him as well.

If that was the case surely he would have sat down with Cleary as soon as he arrived and told him of his concerns and Cleary would have told him what his plans were going forward.
Cleary would have known from day dot that he need to get some more size up front.

Most of his massive hits in this video are shoulder charges, but definitely still a good buy.

Does anyone know how much we signed him for?

Sad to say but it ALL looks shoulder ..

Word is he signed for close to $700K a season - Dont know how true that is though
 
Any news from the posters on here who have repeatedly pushed the line that no-one would sign with the Tigers as they're such a basket case?
