Rankin Released...Official..

Wonder who will be our back up halves for Brooks and Reynolds next year? Is JLJ signed?
if one of Brooks and Reynolds did go down maybe Lolohea would go to the halves and Nofo or someone to fullback. Still it would be interesting to see who plays ISC if Rankan goes.

Oh yeah. I forgot about Gamble. Interested to see how the big half goes. Trent Barrett was a pretty big half. I think Gamble is close to six foot.
Is Marshall-King still being touted as a hooker or better as a half?

Being a big Half/ 5/8 is a risky business in the modern game
you get shafted to 2nd row if you dont perform like an agile halves player

Curtis Sironen ?

I am thinking Lawrence at 5/8 playing simple, defending strongly and running lines off Brooks. Means Aloiai and Edwards to start and MCK and Sue on the bench as backrowers. Against Broncos I'd add Grant and Felise to bench with Liddle 18th man.

a wise sage once said Lawrence reminded him of a young Laurie Daley

As a 5/8, i'd still prefer Daley today.
 
- Sporting News

With two new signings about to join the Tigers backline, the club needs to clean out the closet and Jordan Rankin is tipped to be the man they throw away.

Former NRL wingers Corey Thompson and Mahe Fonua will return to Australia next season and Rankin will hop on a flight himself to England to link up with Super League side Huddersfield Giants, according to The Courier Mail's Travis Meyn.

Rankin previously had a stint in the offshore competition with Hull F.C, the club that Fonua is set to leave, before making an NRL comeback with the Tigers in 2016.

Ivan Cleary has filled up his bus since news Mitchell Moses, James Tedesco and Aaron Woods will be leaving Concord, with eight new recruits penning a deal since his appointement as head coach.
 
If this is true - I'll be sorry to see him go.

Thanks for the commitment and the effort you put in and are putting into the Wests Tigers Jordon.

Hope your new venture in the Old Dart is a good one - best of luck Mate.
 
One thing he can't be criticised for is his commitment, giving his best every time he's pulled on the jumper, no matter what position he's asked to play; wing, fullback, 5/8 and hooker. I wish him all the best back in Superleague.

Hope that Rankin gets to put in for a few more years over there.

Glad to have Packer on the way, but missing Elvis when I get to your posts.

Yeah,tried hard but the reality is he is not NRL standard… had a decent 2016 on the wing... but was never a winger... he'll do well over there where the standard is definately lower
 
Got solid mail that Rankin 100% will not be at the Tigers in 2018.

Possibly departing mid-season.
 
Good result for both parties. He seemed to do well over there, and really enjoyed his time in doing so. Good luck to him.
 
No matter what you think of Rankin as a player, at least he always gave 100% for the jersey.

Good luck to him in England.
