Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Odessa]

Bulldogs won’t be able to afford Klemmer so that’s a pipe dream they’re so tight with there cap and still trying to upgrade Burton and buy a fullback/half won’t waste big money on a forward unless they get rid of TPJ or Thompson and even then it’s still unlikely - knights will release him early to whoever can offer to chip in the most towards his 800k contract and we’ll beat any dogs offer for sure

Klemmer and Lenui will make our pack complete

8. Stefano Utoikamanu
9. Api Korisau
10. David Klemmer
11. Shawn Blore
12. Isiah Papalili
13. Jackson Hastings

14. Tommy Talau
15. Spencer Lenui
16. Alex Twal
17. Joe Ofanguea

I spoke with someone at Canterbury in the last week said Thompson is cooked so just perfect for the Tigers to many head knocks or medical retirement

What is exciting is our squad will get to make full use of their skills under Sheens/Furner/Marshall/Farah. This will be just like a new squad; throw that ball around guys.

Can't wait...

A whole new generation of blokes with shit defence.

Apologies. I just like checking in for juicy rumours and to see if the Munster signing is out there yet, but keep on having to read why we didn’t sign Bellamy and Bennett in 1922. But apologies I stand corrected for posting an irrelevant post

You here Penrith players being interviewed last night and saying their pre season was heavily based around their defence

And we hear that Sheens ...Marshall ....Farah.....Furner are going to base our season around attack

And people can't understand the negativity already .....who's right ....Sheenius or Iv .....I wonder ???

I've no faith in Sheens and Marshall but the only person saying our season will be based on attack is paws.
The actual coaches haven't told us anything about what they plan to do.

Well, except that the players they see leading us forward are kids, still years away from first grade.

Add Dias to the list of guys who won't be in tigers colours next year.

Where is he going?

Watched Staines score a good try last night but his team mates put him out in the open with one guy to beat . Good finish but Nofo would have finished it the same

Nofo would have let 3 tries in too

I would suggest that of all the successful teams in the last 25 Year - The only ones to win the comp that didn't were the Wests Tigers...
Flanked by not making the 8 for the 5 years before, Or the 4 years following and almost the worst for and against in the comp...
Even when we were top 4, It wasn't uncommon for us to get lapped a few times a season.
Now we've given a bloke 10 years to stew over the game plans he couldn't get to work last time...

Ah well, Fingers crossed.

We are no where near the grand final or finals for that matter but these journos always find a way..

a sensible player wouldn't have said it, not the journos fault... stupid comment

The line inside him held very well last night....
He didn't panic and held his nerve a couple times...

I think Staines would be a good wing option if we can move nofo or Ken M

Kent reckons Bateman and klemmer 😂

 

[batboy]

I hear Manly

Makes sense....
He's a fringey, Manly have never been known to care about the Ressies comp much (If at all)
All their money is usually top 17.
He won't be missed here.

When fit, We have at least a few better versions of him.

Kent referenced sheens going to England but remember hearing somewhere sheens isn't going to England. Although consulting for Italy.

Just pray none of our dickheads don’t do anything stupid over the break.

Apologies in advance to the thread relevance police.

I thought Bateman was dead in the water, id take Klemmer though our pack is soft.

Watched a few ESL games and Bateman looks a shadow of his former self. Admittedly, I don’t follow as closely as some.

He’s 29 now. I think the Raiders got the best years out of him, but on a low-value contract, he could fill a gap for a year or two. The trouble is, I think he wants big coin. Wasn’t he after $800k when he left the Raiders?

I guess we’ll get to see him put some games together at the World Cup.
