Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Betterdays22]

Giving Richo the benefit of the doubt. Im guessing that now he has officially granted Galvin's release he is announcing the signings of KPP and Hetheringon next week closely followed by May (unfortunately in my opinion). The dreamer in me has him getting Staggs rather than May.

It makes you wonder why he is #22 this week and how Tristan Hope has just overtaken him out of no where. TDS was terrible vs Storm but I think it would be widely agreed he was offering a lot in his 25 minute role off the bench prior to that. Definitely not deserving of being punted after 1 poor one.

Might be seeing things but looks like the opposition pick him out when he comes on and he’s not physical enough to control the ruck in D. Makes sense to me to give him some more time in KOE.

Maybe …. But for many of us the best time to learn to swim is when you feel like you’re going to sink .
Is this Benji the finished product ? God no ! We just need him to be good enough to get these guys moving forward so he can learn , so in 3-5 years time we are benefitting from these hard times .
I look at the Raiders and I think they’ve really ridden the Ricky ride the whole way through , down the bottom - up the top etc. before him they had coaches , but it was burdened by mediocrity . They found thier guy “who just gets the raiders” , and have been stable since .
I don’t care if we win every year , because I really don’t think we are ever going to be that club . But 3-5 year window … regress to 9-12 for a year or 2 then surge again . That team … we definitely can be that team .
But we need a stabilising force someone who when you think tigers you think ….. that person . I’m hoping it’s Benji . Not because it’s Benji Marshall but because I think he really is starting to come out the other side . This week will be a good indicator into whether Galvin really was that fox in the hen house , or whether the guys have hit the mid season wall , and a return to the toothless tigers.

Coaching an NRL team these days is basically managing the squad and creating a team harmony wherein the squad is all focused on working together and playing according to the team plan formulated by the coach .. assistant coaches actually do offence and defence , Benji has got them all playing for him .. a la Bennett, Bellamy , Cleary et al .. he needs the assistants to step up .. and the cattle to do it . Then we are home and hosed

I wouldn’t take anything agents say in the media literally, ever. It’s all negotiation tactics.

Nothing Tallyn has said or done has indicated in the slightest that he wants to leave or ‘bend the club over’.

There’s no point getting upset at a player about something that they havnt done or may not even happen.

Especially when it was just an article that his agent was quoted in , doing what agents do , his agent even qualified it by saying Talyn loves the club and wants to stay .

Well the ideal scenario is that Api amd TDS take a deep breath, look at it from our position and see if everyone can reach a workable solution.

It might not be what eithrf API and TDS wants, but a compromise and one that holds them dear to us into the future.

That was Hetherington and he’s still unsigned for next year and there’s been no word on a contract for him which makes me think he’s coming to us.

He's been average this year I honestly think we dodged a bullet

 

[cqtiger]

I hope our bar is set higher.
As a squad player good, as a starting lock he isn’t NRL standard

Hetherington gives me Twal and Seyfarth vibes. We don’t need a trio

The way I see it is completely different, Hope is only 18th man because if TDS was he wouldn’t be getting 80 minutes in cup getting development in instead of riding the bench for Api who coming off a bye week can play 80

The point of these posts Tuck? Kade 7 is always posting interesting info and is very close to the mark more often than not , I don’t get why you get snarky towards posters on here so easily ? We all are here for Community Engagement with fellow supporters? Aren’t we ? 🤔

I question whether tucker is a tigers supporter at all...

it may be just as simple as, you want to start in 1st,go own Reggies ,

 

[tigahhh]

i back the club on almost everything but giving taylan to souths is a fk up and terrell will go join him once his contract is up with us

100% and he plays less minutes.

I agree with some punishment, but it should be more spread out.

Saying something is unnacceptable has to be backed up or its meaningless.

i know , Mr Brown will never employ me ever again

A lot of players should have endured more serious consequences for that surrender.

I reckon the “big name” bronco will be Cobbo

i could live with that, t&cs apply.

I'll watch tonight's Newy game and I hope I'm convinced that K.P.P. is worth Wests Tigers chasing his signature.
He seems to be disregarded in attack by the Knights so I"d love to see him do something spectacular like Dylan Lucas did last week.

Good signing if you can get him firing. Him and Skelton could get our sets going, along with Tito.

You could play him at centre but give him a roving role.

Could be. I actually think Benji wouldn't be all that bad for him. He'd be a great centre
