Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I don't get the hysteria around not signing Taylan May (although I guess we still could). Surely you have to trust that the club has done it's due diligence and come to the conclusion that it isn't a good idea to sign him regardless of his talent. Api and Luai would've been part of those conversations surely. As much as we need a strike centre I'm happy to trust the club on this one.

Aden hage coaches corner with Rob Bechara it’s a great insight to our club and his knowledge as a former nrlw coach of our side a couple of years ago. Great podcast go to you tube ink

Is that one of the Podcasts affiliated with the club? If so, how does a lunatic like Bechara get a gig?

Apparently Richo met with him. If May displayed any of the behaviour he showed on social media, I’m sure Richo would have run for the hills.

Could not agree with you more on this one.
Giving the game away and then thinking you will come back the same player is near unlikely in any grade let alone NRL.
And got to remember every playing in that Penrith side he was in looked good,
I don’t see where all the wraps people on here are giving him are coming from.

It's like some fans want to come last forever. Always finding reasons not to sign anyone on the market. Apparently there's practically no one out there good though to sign for us. Newsflash, we have the worst roster in the comp with zero quality in the outside backs. We can't be picky. May would be the fastest back at the club if he signs.

Add the impact rejecting him could have on Terell and we simply cannot pass on him. 18 month deal with a club option

Idk mate. When people suggest we sign a jabroni like Tyrone, I wonder if they want to come last.

Again, why are you willing to tell one player they can walk for not getting what they want, while fawning all over others?

BB, the club signed Luai, Hunt, Turuva, Bird and Skelton. Richardson advised there will be more to come to build on the earlier signings. The market is tight but some clubs have cap constraints so it is possible we can pick up good players who will be released. Piakura was one player mentioned who may be released. He imo is a far better signing than Hetherington. Hassett the other night was impressive and KPP has performed well in a poor Knight's team. Young Sukkar also from our juniors has performed well.

Again, we have the worst roster in the comp. We desperately need to sign players, he could turn out to be an origin player in a few years, or he could be back in jail. Xerri did ok when he returned.
We have Doueihi and Toa in the centres and Staines on the wing ffs. He could be backup for Skelton too. On a low, short term contract it's a no brainer. If Luai, Api and Terrell all agree we shouldn't sign him then ok, we take them on that. If the only reason we don't sign him is because we think he's a bit wild then that's embarrassing. He has skills that out squad lacks,we need to trust Terrell will set him straight with no BS allowed.

"Tallyn loves the Tigers - this isn't a Lachlan Galvin-type situation," Tartak emphasised.

"It's up to the Tigers to decide what they want to do but if Api stays, chances are Tallyn will have to go."

So it’s not up to tigers. 🙄 Why not learn off one of the best in the game and still get paid well?

They don’t love the club. It’s a marriage of convenience. It’s so frustrating players/managers can hold our club to ransom.
