Signing Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BlackWhiteGold]

Yes someone was on here before the finals saying we’re looking at signing players from some of the top 8 teams and there would be signing news as they dropped out each week, but so far squat! Maybe all our prospects are from the GF teams 🤔

I'd say the club is just waiting for the NRL GF to pass before announcing some more extensions, releases & recruits

Good ole smoking gun.... I called him out on it, seems I was right...

Tigers are chasing three players (two more likely) currently playing in teams competing for finals. with current players being moved on to accomodate. Expect announcements as teams drop out.

Is this still on the cards @Mistymuzzle ?

To be fair. It does say chasing. There’s no guarantee with this post.

is there anything more fitting?

LOL....but they got our stairs wrong

[Hmm]

Heard a rumour we have signed Jayden Nikorima for next year and beyond, it came from a lad who used to play schoolboys with him from one of their mutuals, not sure on the deal if it’s true, I’d say train and trial.

Can only hope I guess. I hope Staines is one of the extensions.

That’s where he has played his best footy so where would you put him genius

If Douhie happens to get fit and up to challenging for a spot, you evaluate as to the needs of the team. Personally wouldn't play him unless there was nobody else to fill that spot, and his leaving a hole while getting a mouthguard cemented my thoughts on playing him at all.

It sounds to me like the Tigers are looking to get better value for money out of some of our players. Twal and Staines are both on good dollars.

Yea, but they are both starters, both First graders.

Maybe Twal would be a bench player in some teams. He has done pretty well with us, although this years form has been far better then past years.

Staines in my view is a center we should lock up. Ofcourse if we instead go for Kurt Mann, but to me he is someone we want and we haven't had quality options in the Centers.

He is the sort of player we go for….ihope it’s not true

We’re signing Walsh and To’o. Just waiting for their finals duties to finish up.

Why would we sign him when we have Sullivan, Sezer and two young gun halves...

 

[kade7]

no news from me
i hope the club goes after tracey as a number 4 though

Unless see him as a #14 backup hooker/utility on a T&T deal

It's great that both of these 2 are making plenty of rep sides, however let's hope they stick with us in league when they have to decide one or the other. I dont see union laying down without a fight!

Just saw on Stan that this game is televised at midday today.

Big yes to Connor Tracey

Shame he's got a head like Paul Gallen, albeit a slightly scaled down version.
