Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If fafita did come to the club, hopfully benjis approach to coaching brings the best out of him like Pole this season. And if that didnt work let Romey and May sort him out and get him training hard.

Some players have just got it, hitting a hole at speed
You mentioned Nikora he is one of the best hole running 2nd rowers in the comp.
Luai had Sorensen at Penrith who also could hit a hole at speed.
I know Sorensen was a speedy back growing up in the juniors at Cronulla and I suspect Nikora would have been the same.
Unfortunately our 2nd rowers look like they have played all their life putting their head in a scrum just taking hit up after hit up.
We need to recruit players that can do the job because at the moment we don’t have that type of player in our roster.

Agree and definitely could use some extra juice in the back row and at lock. Im sure Richo and Benji are on the case, without being harsh towards Red and Sammy who are toilers.

I think the FB rumour is rubbish, usually when high profile players are allowed to leave while under contract, it's all over the media well before they sign somewhere else. Terrell May for example.

If there was an option to get Fifita and play him on the left side, then I'm sure the club can sell the right side to Samuela - particularly the part about him linking up with Latu again on that side.

* Fantasy talk *

Imagine if we DID sign him & he comes and returns to origin form.

It'd be like Terrell Davis May all over again.
Good player, unwanted by club for whatever reason, comes to Tigers and goes beast mode.

Quite the story

That's a Melbourne Storm story Demps

Did he say a ‘big fish’ I thought it was just 2-3 signings

If you want a big fish see @Rock Hopper Steve, for signings I've got faith in Richo.

 

[hank37w]

Facebook and good source in same sentence

That's straight up a red flag. 🤣

Fletcher Sharp is under contract until 2028 so not sure why people are talking about him..

Would be good but unlikely

 

[hank37w]

Sincerely hope he has...can take u thru many of his " events"//cld fill a book or two...but I wont
His old man Dean was a renowned troublemaker regularly appearing before the ACT courts..bad role model

There was a time when Todd was barred from every pub and club in Gouburn and all points south.

He appeared on the footy show recently, good interview, life after football and a family has really grounded him.

Any player who wears black boots these days shows no confidence in themselves. Pathetic. Prefer Twal.

Apologies to Tyson Frizell. 🤣

he's also been promised the 7 jersey at the club he grew up supporting. he's not going anywhere.

furthermore, Latu is our guy long-term.

 

[hank37w]

Gee a lot of people seem confident about Latu getting over his injury issues and staying that way.

I hope they are right and his mother has no clue.

 

[TSP]

That's straight up a red flag. 🤣

Or these days, a false flag operation by an agent!

Still, its pretty spooky thinking of him lining up against the cat when they play each other in reserve grade.

I like him but he has a tendency for holiday making. How do we get him to stand up on the bus?

Quite the story.

He's been pretty loyal up there for some reason, but Des is paying a lot out of his cap for what he's getting and Dave now bumped to reserves.

The agent would definitely have asked Dave the question.

He still has the power, speed and strength. Just watch the Dolphins game.

Our team would be the right culture I'd say. Point to prove players and fight for every scrap.

He could be good. Just wouldn't want to allocate too much cap space there due to the risk, but 600k, even as a bench player is fine due to Seyfarth being on low bucks.

Broncos and retention of players.

I hate the injury prone tag - a lot of the times its just bad luck.

I won't write anyone off because of it. Everyone was saying the same about Blore.

 

[tigertragic]

Is Shibasaki from the broncos a possible signing
Centre needed
Not currently a top 30 contract at Brisbane
Brisbane needs to shed players

He wasn’t the first and won’t be the last young very talented footballer to blow all the opportunities he had to set him self up for life.
I’m sure like the rest of them he will look back and say IF ONLY.

Yeah, have to admit that I hate it as well but gee I just want Latu to string a few games together to show us his stuff and gain a bit of confidence.

I have previously stated that I think he can be a lot like Isaiya Katoa, is only a little over a year younger but needs to get on the paddock and get some consistent game time in to hone his skills.

Yes he's had some bad luck and breaking his thumb and requiring surgery you can put down to bad luck, much like some of the injuries Blore had, but these latest reports of him having problems with his hammies again are particularly concerning at such a young age.
