Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Danny Williams did what most of us would like to do!

I didn't like it at the time obviously being a tiger's supporter

But hey he was sent off and we won the game

All I can say now is

Thanks Danny for the laugh that was probably around 15 years in the making

so does that mean that over the course of time the Tigers' greatest villain...has become a cult hero?

I believe so

Can someone please post a clip of it

Maybe even start a new thread and throw it in with the Fatah and Watts footage and maybe some old blocker and siro footage

I would but no idea how to download

He was a dog then and a dog now - cause O'Neill has turned into a dog doesn't make Williams any lesser of a dog.

Cult hero - you people are having yourselves on.

Stefano is a bright young man...parra we’re not budging so both tigers and stef have said ok we won’t get you here kid but whilst your still there get some time in....learn a few things from their perspective better yourself as a player. Imo this willworkout well, come 2021 we will see which forwards are working well with the game and which aren’t...if stefano has a good year at the eels and develops well, he will be in our top 17 come 2021....this also gives us that extra spot in the top 30 which I believe we should keep open till June 30 if nothing come considering upgrading Abbey if he has recovered well....win win.

What we have to keep in mind with long term backs signings is for the first time in a long number of years we have a lot of highly talented young outside backs. Talau, Hoffman, Cini, Scolari, Rizk are all either already pushing for first grade or will be heavily knocking on the door over the next season and a half. Unless we're locking in proven game breaking rep players we've got to make sure we have room to give the kids a shot.

This is so true @balmainboy. We have so many talented juniors so what's the point of recruiting them and then seeking outside replacements chewing up our cap?

Talau and Cini are guns as are a number of others mentioned. Unfortunately we have to be patient which I know is tough given our recent lack of success. Realistically we won't see the benefits until 2021 but hopefully they will get some experience this year.

This idea of being able to sign a player a year in advance is crazy. I personally think this should only be allowed where a club has given permission for a player to look elsewhere prior to his contract finishing. I believe where a player is coming off contract there should be a signing window say from Oct to end of Nov. Outside of the window the only signings should be where a club and a player have agreed to part ways. Of course clubs are still going to sound players out before the signing period but without being able to sign anyone it avoids the farce that we have with this kid and Arrow.

Then if some poor player gets injured around that time they have no future security. They shouldn't be forced to leave it until the end of their contract to secure their futures.

I agree Russell Williams is still a dog but it makes me laugh now

I never really liked ONeill much in the 1st place anyway and now he is at parra I like him even less and can look back at that and laugh

You don't have to agree but that's how I feel about it

Similar situation to Arrow transfer to Souths standoff.
I see no problem as the kid is a forward who did ok in lower grades. Great prospect but only on L plates as far as NRL Exposure.
May have made our 2020 top 30 .... but its very much debatable that Madge had that in mind as a short term outcome when we signed him.
He is signed with us for 2021 and Parra has every right to keep him for the duration of his current contract. So all this wrist slashing is quite unnecessary.

The Telegraph saying we signed BJ after missing out on LM Capewell and Moylan WOW how lucky have we been to miss out on that trio may be things are turning for WT's

Is the sky falling again....

I reckon it's great....young kid may get some FG experience now..thanks Pawa..

Everyone is jumping at shadows. I can’t believe parra , are doing this TBH. Especially if it’s an ingrained issue between the club and the whole family . Whatever, it’s pretty clear , what their motives are. It’s seriously a case of where was the love last year . Sounds like his family want to be honourable , yet still make it known they’re not happy. Give him a first grade slot eels. We get a free year of development.. And if he’s Payne Hass 2.0 he will get a nice upgrade next year. Win win

What’s It stand for

They were trying to build the narrative that we can’t sign anyone, when they realised that we only tried to sign 1 person. If you can call not paying Moylan a 4 year 3 mil deal , and capewell 300k missing out, then yep we missed out.

My sentiments exactly......Now it seems as though he is doing his best to stitch up the Tigers (probably only doing his job but from the inside looking out that's how it looks to me) and it makes me laugh as well......

They get a cheap decent forward.

If they didn’t see our signing coming this year could already forecasted and he’s in their plans.

How’s parra cap do they have much more space?

 

[Curaeus]

Missed out on Moylan? That's rich even for these media numbskulls. I heard he or his agent approached us looking for a 4 year deal and we told him to get lost!

It doesn’t matter though.what their forecast is, the fact is they were busy paying Matto 500k and Campbell Gillard 800k , and we decided to sign all their best juniors. No wonder they’re dirty . They’ve been exposed for their grubby tactics, and desperation ,as well as a sniff of ineptitude. RGH is no guarantee to be anything. It could be another Justin Poore signing. Arthur is in win now mode, but he may have ruined the next 5 years , like when we went all in , in 2012 and 2013.

You're terrible its stands for BIG JOEY

 

[Fletch]

I’m with others on here that an upside to the Stefano situation is that it can keep us in the player market for a mid-season switch, or elevate one of our performing Development or CC players.

Each season a few quality players look to transfer, and the Tigers will have the cap space to accommodate. Some of last years mid-season transfers: Su’a, Blake, King, Kata, DWZ, Roberts. There’s that chance a player could become available that fits nicely with Madge’s long term roster plans.

Best way to combat the Slimy's tactics is to sneak in and sign another young super "up and comer" from under their noses.

A great slap in the face for the "FILTH"

I reckon you’re right. Time to bring home forum favourite and WT royalty Mitch Moses.

We should target their young Aust Schools centre Loizou.

Man alive could you imagine that?? That would've been the WTF signing....
