Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Papalli has signed 3 year deal with Penrith...piss him off now

He actually pissed off 2 years ago.he never wanted to be here

Ivan dropped him cause of the stressful circumstance that surrounding him, which is a sign of good mentorship and coaching not disdain

Yes that’s what it sounded like, so are you saying this good mentorship is now off the table? Perhaps you’re right?

He has been knocking, hence the meeting richo had with him. I'd imagine he'd leave if he didn't make origin or we'll let him go before his contract is up. Love him tho

You watch him cop it if he leaves. It would just be further proof that players want to play at successful clubs, and if there is a chance to, they will. Api looked like he was at the end of his rope in the presser the other day. There’s no way he could be happy either.

According to reports, the Tigers’ roster moves will go much deeper than that with News Corp reporter Michael Carayannis revealing on Fox League NRL 360 that Jayden Sullivan, Brent Naden, Charlie Staines will also feature in discussions.

Charlie getting a mention now too.

Richo moving very quickly. Papali'i gone, Sullivan, Naden, Staines and Bateman all in the gun. wouldn't surprise me if guys like Faagutu and Saukuru were also on the chopping block given the imbalance of experience as well.

while we're likely going to have to pay some freight to ship off the first four I mentioned, it gives us roster spots and cap space to recalibrate the roster correctly with experience and quality.

I'm not sure who and what we're looking for, but there is quality throughout England and if there's anyone who knows how to spot it, it's Richo.

How do you make someone Bud's age who would have his own opinion that he's an NRL player go to England?

This does not sound good. At the first sign of pressure, is Benji throwing the toys out of the cot.

Kai O'Donnell...​

Is that a name to look out for?

Well that’s the thing. One of these situations where people forget these guys are people, not pawns. Sullivan can stay here for 3 more years if he wants.

 

[Nonotmeagain]

So Paplii has gone to the Panthers so we'll see him running off Cleary so we'll see plenty of tried.

We ate him when he plays him, we hate him when he boots them.
The tigers can do no good

I'm confident in the fact we finally have a ceo who knows what he's doing, hopefully miracles are one of his strengths, just can't see where the forwards we need will come from

Cleary is injured every year

He'll be running off Scheider and Cole

No one who’s killing it for the Roosters has ever left them to go to a bottom of the table team. It doesn’t happen.

RTS, went from team 1 to team 13

I also think the whole Nofapolooza debacle at Salford makes getting any English clubs interested in Wests players a hard sell (except Bateman of course)

 

[weststigerman]

I can't imagine Richo is going all the way to the UK to negotiate releases unless something is being finalised. Something must be getting done, I'd guess it's more likely to be a signing than a release.

I think the Souths guy headed over there to finalise the Lewis Dodd signing a few weeks ago.

Maybe he’s gone over to bring Noffa home? 🤔

Certainly the question of ‘why are they in such a hurry to get rid of all these players?’ Will arise.

That probably means he would be staying tho?
