Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BAGNF05]

Huh ? What does that have to do with what you said about changing him ?
Just on that , I thought Madge had him firing until his brother got here , and his standards dropped .

We signed Luciano when he had a similar role to Royce Hunt (at Dragons). 20 min cameos.

We tried to make Luc an 80 min forward and he couldn’t hack the tackling.

Kade-7 i heard that rumor about Noffa when i on the wharfs today a couple of ex-nrl boys were discussing that and another rumor i did call b/s on it but nothing surprises me anymore.

and the other rumor?

 

[Tom Shines]

Are the To'o rumours for real? Cause I'm getting way too excited.

Yes.. there are rumours about him joining the Tigers ..

take a breath - do u need 2b spoon fed everything,or just gloss over it

As I’ve said to ya before I love a good red Merlot, but I’m not the greatest with words and letters, (I’m sick as with numbers though), and when you jumble up those letters on me like that it becomes a riddle for me to spend the next day or so working out. But don’t change brother bcoz I love your posts.

What standards dropped and when?

They debuted in the same fkn game - there was no point where Luciano was firing and ‘then’ his brother got here..

They came in the same pre season…

Not a fan of Bird if the rumours are true....A caemo 1 year like Sezer did this year I can take....but .2 years is 1 year too long

I had the same concerns, but watching him closely over his past few games he still looks to be quick enough over the first 10 or so metres and still looks to have good lateral movement when defending.
When you consider how many players we have that are turnstiles in defence as our right centre, he could be someone who could plug one hole for us defensively at right centre.
This being said, I think he would suit us best as our right edge back rower, but sharing the role with Seyfarth coming off the bench.

I am hoping whoever plays our right side back rower can play 80 minutes, It’s the middle forwards (Prop, Hooker & Lock) that need to share field time with the reserves.

When you back a racehorse … are you looking at how good they ran two years ago or their last few starts ?

There has been plenty of cases that prove this wrong when it comes to football players. One of the most recent being Angus Crichton, not wanted by anyone 1 year ago. Sorted his mental health out & now the form 2nd rower of the year. I bet everyone wishes we would have signed him now when roosters were trying to offload him

I’ve always had my hand up. That kid cut a finger and off so he could play footy. That’ll do me.

I’m vague on the details but was he off contract or roosters trying to offload him because his price tag would have been a pretty big hurdle.

my brother, to’o is potentially the greatest winger ever, noffa on his best day couldnt lace boots

word around town is noffa will be apart of the roosters nsw cup setup next year

💯 agree . I’m just pointing out they are similar . Like in the way Skeet Ulrich is similar to Johnny Depp lol

 

[Roar_Power]

Bird is a great buy for 2 years. A proper footballer with experience and not a DH. Durability is questionable I agree however he covers many positions and is a competitor. Embrace it if true.

 

[watersider]

No disrespect mate , but it’s really hard to follow . Even a full stop or comma would go a long way . Like the post I’m replying to ! Because a lot of what you say is worth reading. It’s just hard to understand at times .
But I think we all get that way . Rage typing , so all grammar goes out the window !

Hey, everyone (including me) posts the same lame crap, I love a good merlot post and @jirskyr 's translation was one of the posts of the year. Who knew someone spoke @Merlot too? Keep firing Merlot! And hopefully @jirskyr can translate for us. I love that there was an actual logic in that one and merlot is one of my favourite posters. Don't change Merlot!

Well that remains to be seen, I can’t see Penrith releasing him when there is no suitable replacements available.
I’d definately take a chance on Ravalawa possibly rediscovering his best form if we only had to pay him a maximum of 200k per season as for that money it is very little risk.

We need to offload rubbish before we can add more rubbish

We need to stop recruiting rubbish first

 

[tigermate]

Jack bird will be our new josh Reynolds - great for culture - and play 8 games in two seasons lol.

So True....
Interesting the Bears won the Ressies minor premiership with about half a dozen of old Wests Tigers players.

Seems we can't even make a dint in the reserve grade comp recruitment wise....

Be interesting how next season goes as do think things look a bit different with how we are approaching it already

We signed on something like 6-8 new faces a few weeks back for NSW Cup (which is early) mixed with some of the kids getting NRL run this year stepping back.

 

[weststigerman]

Oates, To'o, Ravalawa? Are we trying to build an entire team of wingers?

You'd probably release someone like Staines to get To'o but I don't think we need more wingers.

Centre, edge, lock is what we need.
