Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Fonua played in the centres at storm,so can play centre or wing

Fonua would be a handy pick up. He played well in a strong NRL side and is still young enough.
Talking about age, someone on NRL 360 mentioned Boyd Cordner is only 24???

Hiku has lead feet, he does not jump and gets targeted. Look at last weeks Penrith game against the Broncos. Kahu jumped, uncontested, caught the ball and ran to score untouched. Hiku watched him

If I recall correctly, Fonua was the first Victorian junior footballer to play NRL?

Yep that's correct

Hiku doesn't pass the ball to his winger very often - as a supercoach player it's rather frustrating if you have the winger outside Hiku 😂

 

[Newtown]

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 true. Wests Tigers are now, for probably the first time in their lifetime, in the enviable position where they can pick and choose the best quality players they need from the vast array of talent currently available. Cleary and Egan now have the very responsible role of choosing the right player for the right position and money. I am sure that they will do a very good job.

The roosters have a good fullback, under contract for 4 more years, but might be able to get him to flip on the contract

Our rehab department will earn their money with Hiku on the books.

have just heard that we have signed fonua the former storm winger/center. also hearing that a Penrith center is very close to signing, not allowed to name him yet, but we are close.

Hiku is not who i wanted. I wanted tilne

 

[Seantice]

id put fonua at centre and hiku winger. He played his best footy at manly on the wingm

 

[bp_tiger]

Hiku is not who i wanted. I wanted tilne

where did u hear that, name? lol

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Didn't Hiku also play at the back for Manly whenever snake got injured?

 

[Abraham]

I would take Hiku's Penrith form with a grain of salt.

No player is going to stand out, not least an outside back, when you are getting thrashed every week.

He is a player that can do a fantastic job wearing any number between 1-5\. Remember he made a name for himself at manly playing fullback while Stewart was on extended leave.

If Penrith are topping up his contract, i say go for it.

Hope you are lol over Hiku, we can do better, and I too wanted Milne

 

[Seantice]

Tigers must of pulled there offer for tilne. Must of taken too long.

 

[wtbus]

Was Milne rumoured before or after Ivan became coach?

SG said we were waiting for Packer and Milne to get back to us as we have given them both offers, I was hoping we got both.
