Just reread Buzz's Shoosh etc

SHOOSH III:
Which out-of-Sydney club will hold a meeting next week to discuss taking Josh Reynolds off the Wests Tigers hands?

A bit further down

SPOTTED II:
Released Knights star Jesse Ramien and his agent Gavin Orr finalising his future in Newcastle on Thursday.

This blurb was accompanied by a photo of Ramien playing against The Tigers!

Could just be a Buzz beat up to distract both sides as we play each other this weekend.

But with big Klemmer at The Knights, it wouldn't be too far a stretch to see them re-u-Knight ... so to speak! Maybe Mbye goes as well!

I know he played for the "**bolded text**Gundagai Tigers" so maybe he's a tiger through and through. I can't believe Parra would let him go, but who knows
There was an article on Fox saying Parra were going to sign him to a $1 million 3 year deal and that he's currently on minimum of $72,500 plus $3k per game. So I guess if we bettered that offer we'd be a chance
I'd say yes to $400k a season
Zerotackle has him contracted through to end 2020, hard to imagine minimum contracts beyond a year so that's likely wrong

So did Cliff Lyons, but that didn't help us get him either.

We might be able to get Cliffy now, he would be what mid fifties, probably got one good year in him, so lets offer him a 3 year deal, that's how we roll around here

Cliffy and Beaver would be great buys for us! Probably still play better than anyone we have going around now.

Not injury prone enough

Bt the Mole an hour ago.

The Dragons' cleanout is set to continue, with star backs Matt Dufty and Euan Aitken both told they are free to find new clubs for next season.

Looks like the drags are getting rid of their defensive liabilities

 

[hsvjones]

@jadtiger It's a "No Thanks" from me... Have enough of these guys here

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Has Madge ever coached them? That's key.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I like Aitken. I'd like to sign a centre with the view of moving Marsters into the forwards.

 

[tigerap]

tired of getting other clubs discards

 

[Russell]

Let's sign a cardboard cut out of a centre then - they would do as good and you can still move Marsters to the forwards (for what reason I have no idea) would not be a second rowers bootlace.

 

[Snake]

@Russell So the club will need to show him the door as he is not a centres boot lace!

Aitken was an Origin contender a year or two ago. He has the talent and a change of scenery might help regain his form. Dragons are not doing anything for the form of their players in 2019.

 

[Sart0ri]

I have always seen Aitken as a good defensive centre. He is competent in attack but with very little x factor. A good player if you have some attacking brilliance around him.

 

[Milky]

I’d take Aitken in a heart beat...

He solves our centre issues..

Talau and Aitken aren’t a bad idea...

 

[avocadoontoast]

That could be an issue

 

[Sart0ri]

That could be an issue

Exactly

 

[2005magic]

I think if we are trying to create an extra spot of two available for next year with a roster refresh Marsters could be one of the players put out there to trade. Lets face it, he hasnt gone up a notch this year, but his performance the previous year is enough to create at least some interest by other clubs to take him off our hands. Clubs have to want to take players we want to shed to create spots.

 

[jirskyr]

I think it's the opposite?

Defensively he can be a real liability; he has a tendency to misread plays and be palmed off. In attack he's solid because he runs hard and straight, and isn't afraid to get tackled.

Wouldn't want to be the winger outside of Aitken. Has glue on his hands and hardly passes ?

Would be nice if true, just wish the source wasnt buzz
