Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[pawsandclaws1]

Ok so we replace Matterson with Leilua. Not like for like but that’s ok. I’m happy we haven’t lost anything there. But we are still behind where we finished end of last year. Need a hard nosed prop (maybe Packer can be this role) and definitely need pace and impact in the backs - centre or fullback.
Talau, Garner, Twal, Mikaele will all improve I think. We get that prop and an elusive back, then we have an improved, and potentially very competitive, roster.

Taylor Clark and particularly Seyfarth will provide the high workrate. Seyfarth to me is underrated and will be a revelation

Ok , we are really scrapping the bottom of the barrel now.

What do we find down there Moylan, Milford and other assorted over hyped plodders that are not delivering because their "Flash in the pan" days are over.
If we are not happy with Thommo at FB for 2020 then quickly throw the kitchen sink at Lomax or Munster.

At least go for someone decent and not buy someone that is going to take us backwards - we have enough of these players already - and are trying to get rid of them.

Really agree with this.
Might not have to throw the entire sink at Lomax - and not sure he's worth it just yet, but Munster at fullback would be a real coup for the club. But is it even worth wondering about?

I like Milford
He is often quite dangerous in attack and has great short bursts of speed
Can also be quite illusive at times
I think his problem is he looks a little disinterested in playing for the Broncos at times
I can't remember the last time I have seen him smile
Maybe he wants out
When he was signed by the Broncos he was expected to be thier messiah
I think the pressure wore him down somewhat
The same is happening to Boyd
Broncos are a big club with big expectations and results
If Milford came to the Tigers he may feel the pressure released a little which in turn may allow him to play his natural game
Which is more of a running game
Then maybe we will see more of the Canberra Milford
If that could happen then I am sure most on here would say yes to Milford

Where we'll miss matto is his ability to make good metres on the 3rd or 4th tackle when we're trapped in our own end. Although if our backs make better metres in the first place then it won't matter so much

Might help having a few of his Samoan brothers here too 🤔

Matto padded his stats a little. Always got us 10m on the 3rd tackle, missed in attack.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

the canberra milford playing fullback is a good option

That's right, cos it won't Matter son.

Like TYGA said - MCK, Aloiai, Nofa, Musgrove, Leilua, Mikaele. A lot of TOA flavour

Dare I say, that may be a reason that LM wasn't all that interested - Not enuff Non Anthem singing types

Don't be that guy.

Sorry - I deleted it.

It takes a real man - I respect that.
Have a good weekend take it easy

 

[Spartan117]

Yep, Elijah was one of, if not our best over the closing month or so

I got so much time and respect for ET, his personality and work effort are awesome. A very solid clubman for culture.

Donkeys forum saying that milf is staying. Seibold talking him up in the press as part of their spine. Also suggesting that the link with us is due to Benji being a big milf fan (can't blame him).

A reluctant Yes to milf but on nowhere near the dollars he tricked the Broncos in to parting with.

He simply has not delivered since leaving the raiders.

We have enough dead wood already without assuming additional risk

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

I would take Milf straight away.

He was asked to play 3-4 different positions every season chopping and changing won’t help any player at all. Play him in 1 position under Madge and I have every confidence he would kill it for us.

 

[2005magic]

If Milford is staying with Broncos, I would not consider Moylan as the alternate. Give Moylan a miss and go for someone else.

The problem is there’s not much else out there. Drinkwater is staying and I read Lomax is getting a shot at the 1 for Dragons (not that I’m a massive fan of either of those guys anyway).

If the Sharks were willing to chip in half he’s worth a punt at $400k. At his best he’s a quality player.

I think he's alot like Mbye in that regard.

Let this settle in...
We have lost Marsters , Matterson, Matulino, Fonua, Farah & Rochow.. (5 starters)

We have gained the following with first grade experience - Walters (1 or 2 games) and ............ Nothing

Sorry but that is not good enough for a club with the money we have available.. I understand LL from Dragons might be coming but until it announced it is not happening..

If they think we will be better with these guys gone and the younger ones added they are kidding themselves..

Something does not seem right here as we are nearly Dec and other teams are playing there cards and all we seem to be doing to sitting in the corner with our fingers crossed hoping that LM comes to us..

@hsvjones the thing about these sort of posts is that you, like me and everyone else in this forum have no idea what's going on in terms of negotiations and signings but still people continue to post negative rubbish about the club. I like the fact that everything is under wraps and not leaking out to the press. It's not for us to know! Be positive mate, the club is in the best position it has been for years, so look forward!!

Negative Rubbish ......??

The actual facts Jack until something actually happens .....

Perception isn't fact

So we haven't lost Farah ,Fonua ,Matterson , Rochow and Marsters

Any club that hopes to play finals football has to lose first graders of the standard of Fonua & Rochow.

Effectively (he came off development list at the same time as Fonua was injured) Fonua was replaced by Talau which Im Ok with. Hate to say it but Rochow is replaceable by whatever young second rower we get.

Matterson was a good player, Masters a solid first grader, Farah has been a legend but his performance in 2019 was just first grade standard. These guys are good and need to be replaced.

You havent balanced your argument with the re-signing of Garner, Twal, Aoliai etc

If we don't sort out the front row shortage , back row shortage , hooker issue we aren't Top 8 material

And The Gunners if we are spending a million on Latrell we only have 700/800 k for 3 players ...even if we sign one more on minimum wage it still leaves 600 k for 2 players ..what prop / back rower will we get that will sure our forward pack up for 300 k each ??

Lloyd Perrott worth a shot???
