Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Speed2burn]

26 next year. Got maybe 4-5 years left in him

Well if he’s to amount to anything, we’ve got him in his best years .. honestly at his best he’s a good one but his worst games are just embarrassing. Yet to see a streamline of consistent performances from him

 

[innsaneink]

He's been injured for half of every session for the past 7 years.

Why do we think that will somehow magically change??!

Sure It could, but probability will suggest it won't.

Are they chronic injuries hes dealing with?
If so then maybe your right...if not then maybe its just occupational hazard

 

[orange&black]

Starford needs to focus on his body and work harder to remain fit. Our physios and trainers have to work with him on this.
Once he achieves this his next challenge is his D. This will give him confidence and in turn we will see him become a consistently great centre for the Tiges.
Benji sees his potential, now it’s up to him and the coaching staff to reach it.

He's scored 9 tries and assisted in 7 which is pretty good.

his combo with turuva was so good

 

[lathami]

I’m probably on my own here but that’s amazing news.

He was our best attacking player pre-injury, we just need to work out how to keep him fit.

Yep on your own, we have made some real average signings lately! Was hoping for better.
Why do u think the rooters let Roberts go, cause he had a top 30 next season and he wasn’t good enough to fill it.

 

[orange&black]

Taylan next - however Richo will make sure he earns his contract.
If we can then manage to free up 2-3 top 30 spots for next season, I think our priority needs to be recruitment in the forwards first. Not sure how much money we will have left but we really need a quality frontrower and a lock.
One of Allamoti or Bailey Simonsson (not keen on Sloan) would be great too but not ahead of 2 more top 17 forwards.

 

[Tito Santana]

Gives us time to prep Mak properly. Let’s face it you’re only one injury away.

What’s not top thirty for the Chooks is not necessary a dud. They have young forwards by the dozen

maybe he needs a mind coach

He did that in 10 games im pretty sure aswell which makes it sound even better

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

IMO all depends on the money. 400 or under and a good deal.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Interesting to see where he fits in next year. If Makasini comes in like some are predicting, someone will have to make way. Won’t be Turuva or May. So it seems likely to be To’a or Skelton. I’d say Skelton.

Hopefully thats decided on form at the time.

players putting pressure on our first grade side is something we haven’t had in a loooong time

It's rugby league mad science but could Skelton make a 2RF he's big enough and when he comes in from the wing seems to run the channel that a second rower runs anyway.

The next Tony Williams

 

[BunganHead Tiger]

With Charlie Staines released, and Bird and Murray supposedly being shopped, maybe Richo and Benji have their sights on an NRL proven middle in the $500K- $650K range. Similar price to KPP. Would fill an obvious void and provide better balance to the roster.

Shuan Lane has called it quits

Not sure what Kyle Lovett and Jordan Rankin would have thought about that strategy.
