Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Peter O’Sullivan would have been good, but looks like he’s going to the Dragons.

Richo don’t do recruitment managers. it’d only be if he was to come on as a Director of Football.

that moses bloke seems to be an alright player would’ve looked nice in a tigers uniform 🤡

Is it True Pap's is now a Panther from tonight? Panthers will go close again

Hes out for a 2-3 months so i don't think thats a starter mate, unless they want to take up his contract so they can rehab him themselves.

So they don’t improve our top 30 ?
For players who would only be on the bare minimum contracts, they would both add valuable depth and genuine competition for NRL positions, something we don’t currently have.
I will say it again in case you didn’t hear the first time, any decent NRL team needs genuine competition for NRL positions and when injuries occur, need to be promoting players that are dominating at NSW Cuo level, not just throwing anybody in the side to make up the numbers.

Would it make you feel better if I told you Doorey, Webster-Mansfield + 6 no name reserve grade nuffies I've never heard of are the answer and saviour?

let them have one good game in a preseason trial like brandon wakeham did then our fans will claim theyre the saviour of the club lol

Out of all our current players who are earning more than 500k per season, not many of them are earning their pay cheques, are they ?

Don't change the goalposts. You said when we aim high, we shoot blanks. I gave you 4 examples of aiming high, yet you're still arguing?

I'm starting ti think you're one of those blokes that has to be right all the time, even in the face of evidence. I believe the psychological term is belief persistence.

What bothers me with watching some ex- players
like Tuilagi, Pauga, Mikaele, McIntyre etc. They either
up their game when they leave or you don't see the
Stand-out glaring errors in their game like at our
club. We need a football mastermind as director
of football. Nobody biz related, just a real footy head!

WOw, he is 25. For some reason I thought he was heaps old...

Olam, I kinda put it down to the coach. I had hoped Benji would get him firing, because if he is firing he is an utter gun. ...

Nathan Brown, agreed. We can make up some of the slack in the forward pack. Our big mistake in the past was pushing 1 or 2 top level forwards... we need 6.

Now, there is one player I would give a Million to, Jason Tomolomo! Cowboys don't want him. His form is down. I reckon he can improve. Angus honestly seems like Contract is due, play hard now for an upgrade and then take it easy.... (this has never worked for us).

From what i have read, JT has a degenerative knee condition, and his numbers over the last two seasons are way down, and he is having reduced minutes.
It made me think why doesnt he medically retire then?
i looked up that his million dollar contract expires end of 2027.
As far as i understand, a medical retirement only pays out two years in advance.

It is my belief he is just hanging in there till end of 2025, then he retires and takes the medical retirement.

We should only consider him if he wants to come and cowboys pay half, otherwise he will be very much that stereotypical Tigerpie has been signing, I believe.

He’d be absolutely terrible. He’s a shadow of what he was.

I personally believe we have too many pacific islanders.
I know that comes across badly to read, but i hope peop;e dont see it that way, i'll explain.
The reason I say that as a negative is because they play the 'power' game and i think that only works in smaller amounts.
Notice that when england played tonga they thumped them 3-0, when tonga had an NRL studded lineup, and england had injuries and a couple of nrl players only. Their team were more the hard headed worker type.

Also, when Bennet built the dolphins, a top 4 team, I noticed he targeted the exact same type of player as a nucleus. he did similar at Saints and newcastle.

A third example is dogs team last year and this year. I truly believe that if you look who exited and who came in, CC made a conscious decision to limit the power poly game, and replace with high IQ versatile footy players that are the opposite of the poly power game.

Fourth, I know one player who we targeted that i wont name who said he did not sign with the tigers because of this.

You must be watching ping pong,

I swear you don’t actually watch NRL - all you bang on about is kids and washed up reserve graders….

Doorey went to Parra on the back of them being runners up - they didn’t make the 8…

If he’s not improving the runners up, how’s he improving the wooden spooners?

I'm not sure i understand this logic?

That's crazy talk, we're just disjointed at the moment
but still united most importantly despite the loses...

Did people forget @Lebanese_Coach_aspiration was banned on here for being a troll from the Dogs forum hahaha his ban must have expired

 

[Tito Santana]

The Rebels have folded. Did someone say Curtis Rona?

 

[Wildcat777]

You guys are delusional if you think you are going to attract players here to play in a pack led by Klemmer & Twal. Stef is a must to keep and will be paid overs.

Mate be careful….that pairing I reckon would be in the top 10 in the Ron Massey Cup.

i proved that it was an inaccurate claim and someone here just mouthing off.

I dont think it is crazy, for the reasons I said.

We missed out on a big target who said the same thing about us.

Too old cuz.
he will be 33.
Wingers dont make it past 30 in our game ever unless they play the power game.

Ryan Hall, Morris, Dan Tupou, Wendell Sailor etc

The Alex Johnston and charlie staines types dont.

It is why AJ will not break the try scoring record, unless he gets it spoon fed, like a player certain to score passes it to him and stuff like that, and why we wont see JAC in the NRL in 2027.
