Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

All the great Robbie farah had to do was kick the leather off the football on the last tackle the set before and make the Warriors go the length of the field, Instead he opted to run it on the last and gave the Warriors field position.

Yep. Another in a long line of ego plays.

Didn’t stop us with Madden BF ?

Fair call Hal, I probably wouldn’t have let him go, we’ve had a few shockers running the cup side around, Falls and we’re paying Bud to play for souths, Madden probably better and we could have saved some money. It’s always a juggle and a balance.

Reimis Smith, Braidon Burns and Corey Allan probably the best three options available to us currently.

shame Hiroti extended with Cronulla, he was probably the guy.

we just need a steady hand to do a job when called upon. the gap between Naden's floor and ceiling has hit us hard and often this year.

The options for a depth right-sided outside back are diminishing. Reimis Smith apparently retiring & Braidon Burns extended with Cows.

Corey Allan would be ideal imo with his experience & versatility and has looked good for the Dragons this season when needed in the NRL team.

I still think the club will offer Naden this spot on much reduced coin but if he declines, Allan or Morgan Harper or Harley Smith-Shields are about the best of those off-contract with NRL experience if that's what Benji is after.

"but Tigers’ reputation for success and player development is believed to be a significant pull factor"

Very funny

3 times premiers, you mean 3 times making final in 26 seasons. 🤣

WTF.

 

[hank37w]

This is just some guys blog by the looks of it...

Obviously clueless or has a great sense of humour.

 

[Odessa]

The 24-year-old has previously drawn interest from several Sydney-based clubs, but Tigers’ reputation for success and player development is believed to be a significant pull factor.

😂

I was thinking it was a cut and stick from a few years ago when he was going to join the Panthers

 

[hank37w]

Nah, it's true - we fans were just asleep at the wheel 🙂

We've all been death riding this club all this time.

What the hell is wrong with us. 🤣

Softmedia.com.ng...it's a Nigerian domain...now I'm really confused as to who these people are and where on earth you found this "publication"

Probably written by a Nigerian Prince.

Where do I send my bank account details to. 🤣

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Fair enough. I think it was untenable for AOB to keep his job when you take into account all factors.

Who on earth would want to be a coach? Benji is mad for giving up his cushy Fox job to coach the Wests Tigers IMO.

Guys like Benji are fine. Can go back to the media tomorrow if he wants to.

 

[poopy_diaper]

Why?

Stuff to do with TDS loan deal KPP meant to come early blah blah.

Aaron Schoupp has mainly played as a right centre.

I’m waiting for you to suggest Morgan Harper next… he plays on the right

None of those options are great. I think we’re better off moving May or Makasini to the right or even playing Turuva and bringing up Laulilii or Tuitupou to the wing when needed.

They should be training on both sides in the off season and we’ll probably end up with a train and trial journeyman to play there in NSW Cup. Maybe Taotua plays there.
