Signing Rumours..

Why forget his playing ability?
Doesnt that suit your agenda?
His playing stank…end of story

Well said ink.

:righton: :righton:

Sorry to have to spell it out so you understand my point….

Taylor didn't drop Sironen because of his play (whether anyone thinks it was poor or not) - he dropped him for personal reasons, same as he did to Farah.

Myself? I didn't think he was going that great either - although he was picked in the City team.

Coaches should pick the best players for the job in right positions - not just players that line up to wash their car.

Taylor obviously holds a pretty mean grudge.

Nah, cause playing like a busted for three years is no reason to be dropped. Naiqama, Lovett and Rankin all played with more ticker no matter how poor they were.

This is so true, if you did watch Sirro's performances.

Perfect example is this morning's tripe.

**'his relationship with players is causing serious concern'**

Don't think he has a track record?

CK, I read what you write because it is usually balanced and well-reasoned.

IMO Sironen should still be at 5/8\. The greatest injustice to the young man is to have switched him to the forwards.

And to the issue about Taylor, who would believe he could ever have a problem with establishing and maintaining positive relationship’s with players?

So sironen over moses at 5/8th?
Lol. Sironen doesn't cut it period. His size and lack of speed would deem him useless in the halves.

Shift him to another sport is a better option.

X100 He is lazy!

CK **who would you drop to give Siro a run**???? Our forwards are not great but they all put in much more effort than Siro

To be honest I would most likely have dropped him too (and earlier) - but that wasn't the original point.
There were plenty of other blokes **playing as bad or worse than him who didn't get dropped**.
However, he got dropped the same week his father was comparing Bryce Cartwright ' not having the football coached out of him' making it clear that was what he thought was happening with his son.
Then again maybe was just a coincidence …like Farah getting dropped for being such a dud player after playing Origin.

Who cares what the motive for dropping him was, as long as he was dropped it's all that mattered.

**Rothfield and Weidler love people like you**…. You keep these drunken degenerates in a job

Keeps you busy making half arsed assumptions… and the only time I read them is when they are quoted in this forum.

PS. Name one of your favourite old journos and I can almost guarantee you they would have been happy to be labelled a drunken degenerate - all the while doing their job.

I can't agree with the Sirro at 5/8 call. If anything, he'd be better off playing in the front row rotation to build his motor and involvement and perhaps even his offload. If he develops, push him wider - ala Ryan James

 

[rex2ce]

If Sirro had the courage of Moses, he would be our Taumalolo, problem is he doesn't have the heart to play first grade although his body size should give him a walk up start

His point was there were plenty more who should have been dropped and were not, and I totally agree, it makes the whole thing look personal for both Farah and Sirro because of this, and I agree Sirro should have been dropped.

Yeah but it may well have been the fact that Curtis got told that NSW Cup was on the cards that prompted Sirro Snr to come out and make comments to the press in the first place.

You can't just go and drop half the team, there is a second tier salary cap to consider. The players dropped were the ones who weren't performing as the coach required and I for one have no problem with that. If some see it as an agenda then that's fine too - everyone has their own opinion.

5/8 over Moses? You're on crack.

In the halves you play left or right side of the field and the number on your back has become irrelevant. Cartwright seems to go okay in the halves and the young half the Dragons are grooming for next year is also huge.

Ali's rumours on FB reckons that Kev Naiqama may be off to the ESL next season.

That leaves us without arguably our best centre, cannot see why we would let him go…especially after taking the risk on Idris.

1\. Tedesco
2\. Nofoaluama
3\. Idris
4\. Simona
5\. Rankin....lol?

It's a sad reflection on the club if our best centre defends like Curly Howard floor spinning.

As far as Ali goes. Has anything he said ever amounted to anything?

I like Kev, but considering the efforts of the right side in defence, I'd hardly be surprised if he was encouraged to leave, especially if we are trying to find money to keep ET.

 

[diedpretty]

Rothfield may not like the tigers, a lot of things may be fiction not just about the tigers but other teams in general. And i hate his bias towards Cronulla, but where there is smoke there is fire.

I remember that smoke-fire analogy being used a lot when Rothfield was busy telling people Robbie & Benji hated each other.

I reckon Taylor is a muppet but Rothfield just made up something and printed in a newspaper that a lot of people read. It amazes me that he can do that. You'd think journalism would mean having some integrity.

I also still think Siro can become a quality NRL player.

You were going OK until the last sentence.

 

[Kavi]

likely ali is just going off a post on reddit linking kev to catalans after uate was going to cost too much
https://www.reddit.com/r/nrl/comments/55ce2d/daily_catalan_signing_thread_uate_too_expensive/

 

[TrueTiger]

You know what ?? I don't particularly care if Kev goes,he isn't really an NRLquality week to week centre,he is all we have in the top tier…if Sirro wants to go,then I don't particularly care,he has done nothing to prove he is a quality NRL backrower,centre ,halve or whatever...

While we have nothing in the bank to pay for quality players then we have to make do with fringe players at best and what we have.. .you beauty...we have Teddy,Moses and sometimes seen Brooks.. Big deal,until we become financial and professional in all aspects of this club,then we remain a struggling team that may win a game or two along the way...

AT THIS POINT IN TIME ,ITS ALL WE HAVE GOT....I hope we make the finals next year with another season under our belt....

 

[Kavi]

if naiqama leaves i would try for beale… also dallas graham has apparantly been released

 

[tigerap]

You mean not re-signed….?

 

[ricksen]

So, yeah: the quicker the Tigers can really burn it down and start again, with cap room, the better. The reason this 'rebuilding' period isn't working is that they haven't properly committed to it. Look at Penrith or Canberra: if you're not a club blessed with lots of resources to deploy "outside the cap" you have to get really bad to get good. Strip it all away, and stop pretending the next mid-priced signing is going to be the one that turns a mediocre to poor team into a good one.

Spot on - have been saying this for a few years. Endlessly frustrating.
