Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Hi Everyone

Let's forget Lolohea, Moylan and Tedesco etc

I reckon there is only one player who is off contract who is up with Tedesco, if not better - Kurtley Beale. He played league when he was young and if you watch his games it shows that he is a league player who brought rugby league to union. He is electric and in the video I attach below he indicates that he played league when he was young and always wanted to represent the Kangaroos.

He would be worth top dollar. He was on $1.2m per year in England and the highest earning player in their comp. He is coming back to Aus and he will not get the same amount over here but why not pay top dollar for a marquee player who I reckon is better that Tedesco. Tempt him with origin and the opportunity to put on a Kangaroo jersey.

Ivan should hit the NRL to register him as a marquee player and support bringing him over - he would be a crowd puller.

This is the video of Kurtley talking about the Four Nations in the UK. The You Tube video is titled "Kurtley Beale on Four Nations Rugby League".

There is a salary cap concession for signing players from rival codes if I'm not mistaken. Would be a good novelty, but I'm not sure it would play out under Cleary.

Was he the first bloke to come thru their junior ranks?

thats him.
Was a decent player.
Always wondered why he left.

Yeah. My memory of him was that he was pretty good. He's at Hull now, I haf to look it up, forgot all about him.

ID sign him up asap seems like a try scoring machine

It'd be awesome seeing him follow Nofoaluma up the middle off a kick return. Those two could really set up our sets. I can't believe he's only 24.

I assume McD's posts on Kahu are a windup considering his other recent posts in other threads.

Seemed like a desperate attempt to get a rumour to catch fire like Tacky's did.

The only incorrect part of this sentence is the word desperate. Why you have to frame it so negative. I thought it looked fun. I am officially going to war with the NRL media and this is the weaponry.

who arnt we attached too. jeez. I dont want hiku.

Chill, Cleary and Egan will work it out.

We will sound out a lot of players over the next few weeks/months, any journos get wind of it they will make a story. Tigers are one of the prime talking points of season 2017 and we have a lot of cash to spend. In fact if we do this right, we keep positive Tigers news in the papers for several consecutive weeks, it's good business.

So it was FAKE NEWS….very disappointing...
