Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Wonder if Cowboys would be willing to part ways with Taumalolo

He’s on 950k, he would very well be worth 600k

I'd steer clear, personally. beginning to pick up injuries quite regularly.

Brandon Smith would've been ideal but he looks a certainty to head to Souths. I'd love to see us have a crack at Ethan Bullemor.

With Klemmer gone it is clear we need to bolster up the back row and centers.

If I was Richo I would obviously be targeting Taylan May for the centers.

My pick for a back rower would be Simi Sasagi from the Raiders, fairly sure he is off contract at the end of this year and will be very cheap.

This drum has a hole in it I've been banging it that hard.

unfortunately he just re-signed today with Canberra.

Massive shame, really rate him. All aboard the Bullemore train

Telegraph reporting the Klemmer move to Dragons is done

I would expect this means the May deal isn't far away

How does May replace Klemmer Wests Tigers? God I hate how they’ve left us so short up front in the engine room where games are won and lost. This is a really shit way to start a new season.

There is no excuse to lose. Benji has by and large the team he wanted. Parramatta coming off a belting. At what point do we stop blaming the roster for our failings?

Hopefully never. We’ve replaced players, sacked coaches, CEO, Chairman and the board. They all need to be held accountable. We need to stop blaming the refereeing or the media.

I'm interested how Oryn Keeley goes tonight for the Dolphins. Not sure what side he'll be on but he'll be up against either KPP or Lucas so a good test either way.

Once Finefeuiaki & Lemuelu return from injury, he'll drop down their pecking order again I'd say.

Except he's managed by Isaac Moses!

Klem to the Dargs on a one year deal... understand why it's being done but personally not a fan of having to rely on Kit Laulilii or Matamua as the next men up depth wise.

Didn't see him in the Training Photos - Here's an interesting thought...
Wonder if he plays the amount of games if it triggers his contract for next year.

Odd he's leaving a potential 2 year deal for 1 and the NRL is allowing it.
Wonder how much it's costing us.

great way to start a season! offloading dead wood and improving a position where we were lacking.
klemmer wasnt going to play first grade this year
and we get an outside back, that we desperately need.
win win

Or Realist...take your pick

Ha realism can only be claimed in hindsight. There is nothing real about predictions.

They'll be more signings coming up...
If I was to guess forward/edge & Taylan

 

[Betterdays22]

Try any NBA or MLB show or even the AFL shows on Fox - same thing. Only confrontational gossip stories nd opportunities to divide supporters.

Cheers, don't closely follow American Sports but it would make sense if they have imported the format from there

Very optimistic Kaito hope you are right.

They didn't have a spot in the top 30 free already?

 

[jrtiger]

Again we let a player walk and I know it’s due to his clause for next year but who is coming in to off set his loss , I got the feeling that Richo and benji have written 2025 off and are hoping for a better 2026 , this MAY Back fire 🔥 on them if Galvin and luai walk and there is a real chance this could happen , then u known comes next AND other 5 year plan , Iam so sick of this rebuilding crap 💩

go and have a lie down you old bag. it’s Round 1.

We needed an edge forward before we shafted Klemmer, now we need a prop as well. They’ve had a whole off season to sort this out, and an off season longer than most at that. The best teams in the comp have their rosters sorted before the season begins. Going into a season unprepared like this us unforgivable really and it’s the reason why we continually struggle to be competitive. I was hoping for better this year…silly me.

What would it take for you to forgive them?

My main issue is with Gould. He has the aura like Politis, noone wants to anger because everyone is afraid, so gets away with things coaches like Hasler and Stewart could only dream of. Also his position as GM of football at the Bulldogs makes any opinion suspicious as to what hat he's actually wearing when making an opinion, like his view on Galvin. He can and has used his clout in the game, his media persona and position at the Bulldogs to influence things in his favour, as he did with Ciraldo. The genius move to bring Ciraldo in on a 5 yr deal was the idea of a guy we regularly give it to here Tim Sheens, diffrence was Sheens didn't have the same clout, also no doubt Ivan may have told him to steer clear. On Anasta if I was a player I'd be representing myself, though if I had to have a manager honestly he would be the only one I'd consider. The way he talks about his players, not like a typical manager corporate type who spews out a company line, iv no doubt he genuinely cares about his players. I remember him numerous times saying Galvin should stay at the Tigers, it's not all about money there's other things to consider, he's not a shark like the likes of Moses. I don't always agree with him, though I don't see an issue with him as a manager and as a t.v personality because he isn't in a power position at a club.

Id call it influence...aura is too nice for him

Surprise surprise today hes pushing Cheez to Souths
