Restructure this subforum

[Kul]

Hi everyone

I'd like to propose that we restructure this subforum.

At the moment most posts are in the "Rumours & Suggestions" thread, where it's hard to keep track as multiple discussions happen.

I propose that anytime new discussion comes up about a player, we create a specific thread for them.

For example, the Matterson stuff can all stay in the currently active thread, where it's better suited.

I'm good with that.

Conversation always goes off on a tangent to varying degrees. Your proposal might prove just as difficult to adhere to. But I don't see why anyone would be against that.

But then my legacy on the forum from my old account I lost will be gone hahaha

So everytime someone thinks a player is worth signing you what to start a new thread...?

Agree .... good idea.

The only potential problem i can see is that there are some people on here who will suggest half a dozen players which would mean the same number of threads.I am sure that every single one of those threads will end up like the river amazon with so many outlets(players mentioned).
In theory it sounds fine in actual practice i am less confident

 

[Sabre]

Definitely on board with this.
At the moment it's too difficult to keep up with discussion.

 

[Russell]

All good with that Kul - sounds good.

Create a poll!

I'm fairly easy either way, but it's probably easier to have a thread for each player IF there is an article/rumour/news that makes it worth discussing. If it's a suggestion, then it's just someones opinion, so can probably stay in one big thread of people saying we should sign Latrell or whoever...

Its Hobbo idea ...he wants players ranked as well

Plodder ...Super Plodder .....Platinum Plodder

 

[tigertye]

What about a thread for suggestions and a thread for rumours?

 

[cqtiger]

I am good with that idea but I thought mods could move posts now to the proper thread.

I think Players already contracted to The Tigers Top 30 are OK to have their own Threads but there are 15 other teams with 30 players in each and who knows how many Non NRL Poms, Kiwis and Islanders are out there? And then there are the Juniors to come through.

So I suggest splitting the Suggestions & Rumours into 2 sub forums.

The Rumour Thread would contain only Rumours

The Suggestions Thread would contain just that, "Suggestions"

Players would be located in the relevant thread based upon where they are currently contracted eg Souffs Players go in the Souths Rumour Thread.

So something like this:
Rumours - followed by these thread headers:
NRL Teams (A thread for each team including Tigers Rumours!)
UK Superleague (just a single thread)
Kiwi & Pacific Islander (a single thread)
Other Sources (eg Rugby) (single)
Junior Talent (single)

Suggestions
Same format above

Just a thought.

Meanwhile, if anyone needs help with their shoe collection I'm off contract with Dunlop in 2021. Cheers

I don't mind the idea of splitting it up into WT rumours and NRL rumours for the other teams.

What about we have one thread for stuff we actually know and about 1000 threads for stuff we think we know but actually don’t!!

 

[Jimmy]

I think the current thread works well, we might be best having a confirmed signing thread created and keeping the old one for dribble as let’s be real we all like to talk dribble

 

[facepalmer]

I made that thread in the first place because people were making a thread for every random person unconfirmed to be attached and it was stupid. There have always been specific threads made for real proper signings etc. Undoing it will just create a different problem lol.

The solution is easy;

Is it an idea you have, or an unconfirmed rumour you heard at the pub or read on Twitter > talk about it in the thread.

Is it a confirmed signing or something that seems to have real legs > feel free to make a thread if you think chat about that subject is clogging up the main thread.

I agree with Jimmy. We could have Tigers and non-Tigers threads, but I think 1 single place for Tigers rumours and suggestions works. We know to check there, we are practised at how it works etc.

If there are 5 or 6 or 20 threads about different players, I get how that might be ok, but what if news about one player impacts another player? Where do you post?

Normally we are only having 1 or 2 signing events at once, so most of the chatter within the current Signings thread is on-topic.

Then a "confirmed signing" thread, like we already have, when Tigers say it's true.

@Kul thats how it used to be until someone created a superthread. I much preferred the old way (ie the system you are proposing)
