Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[GNR4LIFE]

Tigers are clearly going for another prop, after Hunt. Have been in talks with a few. I don't think anyone at the club are not aware they need one. It will be a matter of if they can get a good one for next year.

Hunt’s ceiling seems to be 35-40 mins. Unless the plan is to increase his minutes, which at his age I’d doubt it, we need another prop.

Can Brian to’o play prop?

 

[weststigers]

Inspirational forward hmmm a forward who can pick up his team mates & say follow me boys ... Leo Thompson only one I can think of, maybe Ethan Bullemor in terms of his effort & energy.

EDIT: I should add NAS to the list if he does become available.

Hunt and NAS too similar I reckon. We need some energy for sustained minutes. Add to that he is not leaving Storm.

Bullemor is a good shout.

The truth is, unless a decent prop becomes available randomly, we will be waiting for 2026 to fill that gap.

Best to bolster the backrow if we can and worry about prop later.

Depth is a big issue again, but time is on our side between now and next season. Players always become available.

In my opinion:

Targets - Montoya, Bullemore, Leo Thompson and To’o

Extend - Sione, Pole, Galvin, TDS

Let em walk/other clubs - Bud, Naden, Tumeth and Klem

Just putting this out there as a suggestion given lack of activity atm. I don't mean this as a joke as he has been a joke for Dragons fans this year.

Blake Lawrie

Could he be revitalised at a new club and find the form that had him win Dragons POY last year and in leadership group?

Personally haven't watched much of him, just putting it out there.

potential there but what would drive him to play better is the question that should be asked
I don’t know his contract but Mitch Barnett would be a solid signing imo

God No....
He's been rubbish since before everyone realised he was rubbish...

We'd get 3 x the output re-signing Woods.

Runs harder than any prop we’ve had for a while.

Sione Fainu is a target. Unsigned and no spots.

Those boys you're ridding aren't going to walk. They'll need to be paid, or another club take their freight. No takers so far, which says something about how bad WT were in doing those deals.

Why didn't they resign Sione before Bird and Hunt .Something wrong there.

They probably think he’ll easily re-sign due to his brothers being there. Hopefully he does re-sign but with a fair offer

Yeh I originally had him there but switched due to try and make it guys we don’t have, guys we need longer and guys that can cruise off into the sunset with their pay cheques

So Reedy said on Triple M last night that he was mistaken about Kaufusi and he hasn’t taken up next year’s option yet.

Corey Horsburgh I would say now is guaranteed to stay at raiders, wasn’t included in their thank you graphic for the end of year departures.

He’s been staying put for weeks.

Must’ve missed that announcement

It came out the day after their last game.

Zac Fittler signs with the Waratahs for two years. I wonder if that will have any impact on his Scots College team mate, and WT junior, Onitoni Large (noting Large is one year behind Fittler).
