Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Not particularly a Brooks fan mate , but calling him “weak gutted “ after he was played out of position for 10 years shows you have no clue

Smack talking the club that stood by you for a decade before you're out the door.
Not having the personal honour to give your all for that club in your final games and instead being stood down for talking that trash.......Weak gutted dog of the highest order.

I don't really believe this take on the Eels.

Since Tigers were last any good (2010), Parra have made the finals 5 times in 16 attempts (2017, 2019-2022). Their Finals record in that time is 4W 8L, including 2x straight-set loss knock outs in 2017-2020.

It's clearly much better than Tigers have managed but it's still very ordinary compared to most clubs. Eels probably won't make the Finals this year and certainly won't trouble the best sides.

I believe Eels usually rely too heavily on individual talent. For a good while it was Jarryd Hayne playing elite-level club football, now it's...

Oh ok fair enough

We’re supposed to be avoiding deadwood. Tyrone would be a nepotism signing. As would the jailed Fainu.

Nothing nepotism about it. Tyrone would be a great addition adding value to squad, just like Tiny

 

[Camel2281]

Tyrone is excess to our needs right now ,thumbs down

I agree. Unless AD decides to move elsewhere. Then Tyrone could fill in his Utility/lock place

 

[Betterdays22]

Why don’t we just buy a 13 - someone that has shown already they can play there …

Thoughts on the Andrews signing TS. You were keen on him the other night...

Luke was played where he and his manager demanded he played for his entire tenure here

 

[weststigers]

I'll just correct a couple of things. I have never disliked Balmain and I have never blamed them for any of our woes. And I have never said HBG are blameless. But I watched and listened as posters like B Boy have taken every opportunity to put the boot into Wests. You sound like a sad little wannabee who never quite measured up in life and take the opportunity in anonymous forums to talk tough.

Play the point at hand. You are defensive. He is just repeating what neutral observers say. The owners do not invest enough. That and that only is the point. Don't add stuff in that's not there.

I have no reason to protect bboy either. He is a wanker to me most times, but the truth is the truth.

Sad wannabe blah blah. Keep it coming. Water off a ducks back. You're being an emotional little girl.

no thanks .give it to a kid. Very weary about giving the brotherhoods to much sway

 

[Camel2281]

Please winning 1 more game in my eyes is not improving, nor is coming 16th instead of 18th.
Blind Bettty can see we need hard running forwards that has the other teams looking for them, but what do we have Alex 1 and Alex 2, they would not get a start in any other team but are always picked in ours.
And just on new signings is it true we have just signed 2 more halfbacks ???????? why!!, as the games i have attended this year, that is not our weakest spot.
Oh well always next year right.

Actually we signed 1 x halfback and 1 x 5/8. Both on lower end or development contracts for depth.

Is Andrews > Onitoni Large?

 

[Merlot]

Haha I have my moments wine man

bet you sip thru a straw

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

As others have said, I think it’s either AD or Tyrone - not both. We have four spots remaining without AD/Tyrone. If one of those four spots goes to them, I think we need another middle, another back and one spot left open for flexibility next year.

The back I think should be a decent utility depth signing - Mapapalingi potentially. The middle forward IMO needs to be high quality starter for us. Ideally a 13.

If Douiehi can turn himself into the 13 we need - too early to tell on that IMO - that gives us a bit more flexibility.

I also really think a hooker/lock hybrid to play the first 20 for Api - someone in the mould of Saliva Havilii - would be a very very useful addition. Tyrone May is probably better suited to that role than AD tbh but doesn’t quite bring the defensive impact that we’d ideally want for that role.

Is Andrews > Onitoni Large?

Based on what I saw of him in U19 origin this year. He won the game for the winning team. Large couldn't make the extended squad for the losing team

 

[Westoz]

Large is 17, Andrew’s is 19

Won’t know until about 5 years haha

 

[HabboTiger]

Large will play union. We won’t know

 

[HabboTiger]

Tyrone > AD

 

[Merlot]

Large is 17, Andrew’s is 19

Won’t know until about 5 years haha

peeves me how the media talk up these kids recently. 2 sets of brothers 16/19 ? from Penrith Titans moved camps - so what
